A few years ago we were member of Home Exchange, thanks to this platform we made 4 simultaneous exchanges with other families.
And now we want to pick up this thread again...
The children are now more independent. They go to secondary school in Ghent. I myself work as a project manager, freelance, at neonsign companies. My wife helps company staff-groups and individuals to work better together.
We live in a quiet neigborhood 15 minutes drive from Ghent and 50 minutes from the Belgian coast.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
The old city of Ghent (in Flemish Gent; in French Gand) is a picturesque muddle of alleyways rimmed by quaint steeple-roofed buildings running along pretty canals. Along with Bruges, Ghent is Belgium's star architectural tourist attraction, but unlike Bruges, it comes without the tour bus hordes.
Gentse Feesten - city festival should be on your travel bucketlist (3the week of july) (15 min. by car)
Bruges is a city that will win your heart. It lies in western Flanders in Belgium. Explore this medieval city that’s famous for its canals and cobbled streets. Enjoy while discovering the numerous chocolate shops and breweries that dot the city. (40 min. by car)
