Paul & Heleen wonen sinds 2012 samen in Soest. Ze zijn zeilers, houden van de natuur, van dieren in het wild en reizen heel vaak met plezier naar landen waar de zon schijnt en de winden en stranden fenomenaal zijn. Werken met plezier in hun tuin en zijn dol op hun gezellige oranje 'theemuts'kippen (maak je geen zorgen, geen haan).

Description de notre maison d'échange
Our cosy thatched roof house was built in 2012. We fell in love with the charming style, the enormous fireplace, the authentic kitchen floor, the living kitchen and high ceilings.
All our 20 neighbours moved in around the same time in this small quarter in the woody area with squirrels, foxes, owls and deer. It’s very quiet and silent at night, close to a supermarket, butcher, fresh bakery, drugstore, flower shop, pharmacy, cheese store, snack bar, hairdresser, kiosk, hair and beauty shop at Overhees. Or larger stores at Soest Zuid (plein van zuid) 2 kilometers drive or Burgemeester Grothestraat, van Weedestraat (3 kilometers drive)
