Thanks to Jorijn and Pascal we did for the first time a house swap in our own country Belgium. Between Christmas and New Year we had a lovely time. We were warmly welcomed at their house. They provided us with plenty of documentation and tourist guides. Too much to do in one week. We discovered Bruges and the surrounding environment (Brugse ommeland). Almost every day we took a walk to the center of Bruges. Their charming house is really close to the city (10 minutes walk). One day we did some chocolate shopping, another time we visited one of the splendid musea (The Gruuthusemuseum, Sint-Janshospitaal, Arentshuis, and lots of others), and another time we just enjoyed the Christmas atmosphere. But we can also recommend the region around Bruges : We walked and cycled a lot. To Lissewege, Damme, Knokke-Heist (the sea) and some nature reserves nearby. As I said before, too much to see and to do in one week. When we returned after one week, Jorijn and Pascal left our home clean and tidy . So Jorijn, Pascal, Abel and Babette…… thanks a lot for this inspiring opportunity. Just the thing we needed during this weird times. Johan, Saskia, Nina and Margot

Thank you for this great exchange. We really felt comfortable in this house, which is in a very convenient position, a few minutes by foot from the centre of Bruges, in a region that we enjoyed very much. Swap partners are very nice, helpful and kind.

This was our first time in Belgium and we couldn´t have chosen a better place to do it. Pascal and Jorijn house, in the amazing city of Brugge, allowed us to be in an strategic place to visit several towns/cities during the exchange (Damne, Ostende, De Haan, Zee Brugge, Gent, Antwerpen and Brussels). We had a nice time at their house and felt so comfy. They gave us a lot of information about interesting places to visit or things to do that made us feel as locals. We found our house so clean and tidy when we went back and that was so nice too! Thanks a lot for this opportunity!! Yolanda, Esaú, Gonzalo and Alba
