    Description

    Hey there! We are Gil (36), Theresa (36) and Pio (4) and Lila (0.5), a happy & multilingual family living in Mortsel, a little town very close to Antwerpen, Belgium. Our town is called Mortsel, and is a little pre-urban city very close to Antwerpen (20 minutes by train or 20 minutes by bike), and Brussels (around 35-40 minutes by train).

    Beginning of August we will move from Mortsel to Leuven. For that we are looking for help for the moving day itself and the day before. More specifically, a strong person to help load and unload the transporter :-)

    In return we’d offer a week of free accommodation & food :-)

    Interested? Then contact us!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Well Belgium is pretty small, so it's easy to explore places like Brussels, Ghent, Brugge, Namur etc. I guess the Belgium fries and waffels should also be mentioned as cultural heritage, although I personally really don't get the fuss about it. The beers are pretty good though.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    As said, everything is close in Belgium and the trains are pretty cheap, so daily trips to the main cities are perfectly possible. The southern region of Belgium where you can find more nature and some hills is also not far. Where we live, everything is flat, which is great cause then you can easily bike everywhere.

    Wifi works perfectly, we're working from home most of the time as well. The room has a working table, but as said it's pretty small. From May onwards we'll have loads of space, including several options for gigantic working spaces.
