We are an American-Dutch family living in the center of the Netherlands. Dennis is a communications Director for the fast food trade magazine in the Netherlands. I don’t work and look after the kids. My daughter Lizzie loves drawing and has an art desk. Thijs is into hanging out. We love to travel, eat/cook (meaning a stocked kitchen ?), walk with our dog, Lucca. My kids love board games and video games.
During the year, we host a student for an exchange. We have enjoyed it’s so much that sharing our home seems like an ideal fit for us and someone else. It’s given us a lot of perspective on other cultures and foods. We love exploring that and peoples ideas.
We moved from Miami in 2010 and have been here since. We love the culture here and we can connect you to the best local places to visit outside of Amsterdam. However, Amsterdam is only short distance away.
We can give you the interesting perspective of an expat in the Netherlands.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
We live in the center of everything. The village we live in is located in the greater city on a sport. The supermarket is very friendly and only a 10 minute walk from our home. The bus is only a five minute walk from our home almost fort has a well-known zoo. Shopping, art, free concerts in the summer, and many other cultural activities are available in the neighborhood. And addition, almost 4 it is only a 45 minute train ride to Amsterdam or by car depending on the traffic. We are right in the center of Country which means getting to other cities in the Netherlands it’s not so far away. The highway is just down the street from us. I’m a sport is a very friendly city with culture and a fully preserved outer medieval wall and inner wall. Hoogland, where we live, is a village that Elmsford grew around. It’s still maintains its own cultural which is quite lovely and safe here.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It’s important for us to have our home the way we found it. Please no smoking in the house. Feel free to use everything in the house with cooking or the laundry. We would appreciate it if you would clean and leave the sheets off the bed when you are returning to your home.
It’s important to keep the noise down since our neighbors can hear a lot of what’s going through the walls.
