Brugge, Bélgica

We were a 5-member family with a strong emphasis on educational, musical and intellectual values and a passion for family vacations all over the world.

Jeroen (°1971) is cohousing developer (www.gemeengoed.be). He likes cycling, walking, playing the piano and organising family travel adventures. My lovely wife Nancy passed away. Both we were big fan of home exchange. I still want to go on with this wonderful tradition of exploring new places in an authentic manner. Always with Nancy in our hearts traveling with us.

Now the kids are growing up some travels I will do on my own, but some we still do together.

Florian (°1998) is keen on sciences and computer technology. He works as a program developer. Florian has no girlfriend at the moment.

Elise (°2000) is teacher sustainable urban planning at the university. She likes cooking veggy and vegan, photography, dancing, playing the piano and hiking. Elise is married with Myrdhin (°1998), a language teacher who likes literature, culture, hiking and sword fighting.

Willem (°2003) is very handy and likes cars. He works as a truck driver. He also wants to become an entrepreneur. Willems girlfriend Céleste (°2004) is a photographer and finds here way in social media communications.

We all love traveling and are interested to discover and experience different cultures and places in the world. Our previous experience with home-exchange was with The Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland, Finland, Denmark, France, Spain, Canada, Iceland and Sweden. We are excited about the possibilities that home-exchange might have in store. We take great care of our home and belongings, and we promise to treat your house like our own. We love our spacy modern European home, and are proud of what it has to offer.

Part of our house was originally build in 1938. We did a total renovation and enlargement to modern European standards and with respect for the original building. The house has a lot of sunlight coming in during the whole day which makes it very nice to live in.

We live in a quiet street nearby the city center of historical Bruges. You can easily go by bike (5 min) our by foot (15 min) to the city center.

To go to the Belgian seaside it takes you only 20 min. by car. We also live very close to cities of historical interests as Ghent (50km), Brussels (100km), Antwerp (130km), Ypres (65km).
There are a lot of historical interesting things to do related to The great wars. Especially in West Flanders, our province.
