My husband and I are 58+ and experienced exchangers and I am a homesitter as well. We were HomeLink members from 1998 to 2006 and had many wonderful exchanges worldwide (15 in total). Then we bought a caravan. We enjoyed the last years 'on the road' a lot, but we started to miss our exchanges... so here we are again. Seems the website has changed a lot since our last exchange and this is why we do not have online references yet, but we can provide references from previous swaps.
Ulrich is a minerologist and works as general manager, I 'm a teacher for special educational needs. We both are bookworms. We are blessed with two children who have long flown the nest.
We do have two lovely well-behaved dogs who will accompany us if allowed, but never overseas! We have friends who take good care of them.
Please do not hesitate to ask if questions do occur.

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
We live at the outskirts of typical Dutch market town surrounded by woods and farmland. Our neighbourhood is very peaceful, green and friendly. There is a playground and you can go fishing (12 min walk) along the Oude IJssel.
This area is great for bike- rides and walks. Doetinchem is situated along the banks of the Oude IJssel and is a nice little shopping town with lots of cafes, bars and restaurants (Mexican, Dutch, Turkish, Javanian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese etc. ) Each Tuesday there is an open market in town and on Saturday mornings there is a small open market as well.

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
Only 10 minutes from home is a leasure-park. There is a lake with sandy beaches which invites for a swim, minigolf, sauna, wellness Spa and restaurants. Doetinchem has also a large and modern indoor-pool. There is a nice outdoor-pool with a slide in another little village nearby (12 min) which offers shaddow as well as sunny patches. Theatre and pictures (movies are shown in the original language) are also offering a wide program.
5 min from our home there is 'Monkey Town' ...an indoor activity-play-center for children which offers snacks and hot/cold drinks and free Wifi. Always a treat on a rainy day.
Or you could take your kids to the Pitch&Putt for some fun golf. (walking distance)
What about some fishing. The Oude Ijssel is in walking distance and there is a parking spot in case you have a bit more equipment.
Arnhem (A bridge too far/ movie) and medieval towns like Zutphen, Doesburg and Deventer are in easy reach. This is the most green part of the Netherlands which offers nice walks and is closed to the National park "Hoge Veluwe" where the Kröller-Möller-Museum is situated with the biggest private collection of old masters. The MORE (Museum of Modern Realism) is nearby in Gorssel and in Arnhem there is the museum of Modern Art.
In Arnhem you will also find the famous "Burgers- Zoo" with a desert, a jungle, a bush and a sea-world. Across the street to Zoo is a beautiful open-air museum. It shows ancient villages, mills and old trades for the whole family. There also is a tram, farm-animals and entertainment, like horse-shows, medieval musicians or little fairs. In winter there the museum offers ice-skating (skates for hire), sliding, bread baking on a stick above open fire and a lot more. Both places will need a day each to see everything.
Right across the border in Germany there are boat-trips offered on the River Rhine. These trips are very enjoyable. There also is a wonderful premium Sauna/ spa with very reasonable prices and good food. We are talking about a 20-25 min ride.
Amsterdam is less than 90 min by car.
