Description

Hi,
We are a family of 5, Lucas 15 years, Senne 13 years, Bruce 7 years and my wife Britt and myself. We live in Belgium but are travelling the world for one year to teach our kids and ourselves some more about different cultures. We would like to see different continents, and as we travel along, we will try to figure out which those continents will be. We've started our trip in Asia and are planning to go to Australia, Costa Rica, Belize and North-America.
I am very skillful and can help with a lot of chores around farms or other environments. My eldest sons are strong and willing to learn a lot but do not have a lot of experience yet. My wife is great with kids but also very skillful and can help out with different things. Our youngest son can probably help with gardening, farming or animal care.
The main goal of our trip is to teach our kids by doing things, meeting other cultures and seeing the beauty of the world instead of sitting behind a desk in school and seeing it on a computerscreen.
We hope that we can find the right host(family) that is willing to provide us with food and accomodation and is interested in exchanging with us about different cultures and experiences.
