We are Sijtie, a 65 year old teacher who works with refugees in vocational education and Martin, a 67 year old engineer for automotive (still working, yes!). We are grandparents of two babies. We successfully exchanged more than 10 times with Homelink both with and without our children, since 2005. This year we would like to go on holiday just the two of us. But: only in the autumn because we have no possibilities for the dog. We’ve got a really large renovated barn, 3 stores high, on the edge of a forest. The house is heathed by geotermic. We have 4 large bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom, a master bedroom downstairs with a bathroom. There is a huge garden that borders on a forest. Martin has a big shed where he loved to work with wood and car repairing. Sijtie loves to work in the garden, so please water the outdoor potplants.
In Friesland are a lot of lakes (sailing, boattrips) and nice little villages with shops and recreation. Our local capital Leeuwarden was European Capital of the year 2018 and since than more cultural developed. Our village is located in ‘Landgoed Oranjewoud’, which was the Royal summer residence in 18th century. It’s a quiet village bur perfect for biking. We have 2 normal bikes and 2 e- bikes. We are non smokers.
Kind Regards,
Sytie and Martin Peckelsen
