We are a family of two Alexander (51) and Maaike (52). We started home exchanging in 2003. We went to many places, and are still in touch with many of the families we exchanged with. We exchanged with Sydney, Paris, Budapest, Amsterdam, Marsden (U.K.), Big Sky (U.S.A.), Boulder, CO en many other places. We are very considered and love receiving guests our selves, to share some of our culture. We have a home in the lovely town of Leeuwarden, The Netherlands and a cottage in Hungary. We don't smoke.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
All basic amenities are there (washing machine, refrigerator, fantastic bathroom and comfortable beds), and at the same time our farmhouse gives the sense of authenticity and locality of village life - like stepping back in time. Southern Transdanubia (Dél-Dunántúl) is a region of calm, a place to savour life at a slower pace. It has a pleasant, almost Mediterranean climate: spring arrives early and summer is long.
Highlights:
- Flea market Pécs every Sunday (Vásártér; Megyeri út; 8am-3pm).
- Viewing the wonders on exhibit at the Zsolnay Porcelain Museum and the Csontváry Museum in Pécs
- Sampling big, bold reds in the cellars of Villány
- Taking the waters in the beautiful forest swimming pool of Magyaregregy, or at the thermal baths in Harkány, Dombovar or Sikonda
