Koeno (Dutch) and Heidi (German) met in 2009, during a pelgrimage through France and Spain. Altogether, we have four daughters and five grandchildren in Germany, and two sons with four grandchildren in The Netherlands. We like long distance walking, visiting musea and art galeries, music (active and receptive), reading, architecture, the buzz of cities and the silence of nature. As we are both retired, since 2021, we experience the richness of being flexible in planning.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Amsterdam Oud Zuid is a very beloved part of town. Concertgebouw, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum are around the corner, on 15 minutes walking distance of our home. Pulblic transport in all directions. Many restaurants around, and nice shopping streets. Within 15 minutes walking you are in the middle of the historic citycenter, the Albert Cuyp Market. Within 5 minutes in De Pijp, another popular district.
Nevertheless, our apartment, a listed monument, built in the early 1920's, is very quiet. It is on the 3rd floor (no elevator). It feels like a privilege living here.
