Nice family home with large garden
Our very first home exchange was with Jitske and Kathleen and it was a success! The children loved to play in the garden (trampoline, tractor, ...), the chickens (fresh eggs every morning:-) ) and all the toys. With the electric bikes, you are in the centre of Leuven in no time. Very good hosts, who can make delicious soup:-)
Lovely familyhome close to Leuven

We are Jitske and Kathleen with our 3-year old son, Jeppe. We love to travel and meet people. We want to show the world to our son! We have done several exchanges: 2 times in Tilburg and last summer we went to Ireland. We would love to expand our exchange-experiences.

Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We are looking for weekend-exchanges in the Benelux, or a new exchange in around Easter or in the summer.
We have just moved into a new house near Leuven. We have three large bedrooms, living area, one bathroom, kitchen and a lovely garden. We live in a very nice neighbourhood with lots of families, very close to public transport. At the same time nice nature is reachable by bike (of which we have several you can use).
We have one 5-year old son, which you can see in our house and garden (toys, little bikes, swing, trampoline...) and one son born in July 2020. Our house in a typical Flemisch city-house from 1930, with lovely wooden floors, wooden doors, high ceilings. Our garden has some beautiful trees and others, we are working to restore its glory, but in the meantime the children have a lovely place to play!

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our house is located in the suburbian area of Leuven. Leuven is very easy reachable, by bike, by bus, by train. At the same time you can be within 5 minutes in the nature. The trainstation of Wijgmaal is very close by (1,5km) so you can easily take the train to Brussels, Mechelen, Antwerp...
Within 5km, you find a lake to swim and/or surf, an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor swimming pool, some playgrounds...
A lot of young families live in the neighbourhood, so many things to do with children are to be found close by (playground, forest...)
