We, Sander & Marleen live with our 3 children (10, 8 & 6 years old) in the beautiful and quiet little town of Hierden, 3 km from the lively Harderwijk with its harbour, the Veluwemeer (big lake), the great green woods and the old atmospheric and historical city center.
We love nature, enjoy walking with the family in the woods, along the water and in the mountains and hills of the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the Alps. We all enjoy sports too, from football, judo, horseback riding, golf, fishing, dancing, mountain biking and water sports.
Our house is open to everyone, someone can always eat with us. Our garden is very quiet and the hammock is often occupied :-)

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It would be nice if you want to fed our cat once or twice a day. She is outside most of the time and that's why she doesn't have a litterbox. She is always nice to others and loves to be petted.
No smoking and please take care of our home as if it's your own, so do we :)
