    Description

    Hello everyone, we are a family of 4. Me and my husband and two adult boys. I am a professional photographer and my husband an engineer. Our oldest son is studying to become a social worker and our youngest is studying law.

    We live in a beautiful town called Rhenen. We live only about 200m away from the river "The Rhine". Close big cities are: Veenendaal, Utrecht and Arnhem. Amsterdam is about 80km from us.

    There is lots of stuff to do here and we will try to make you feel right at home! We are looking for someone who is respectful and easygoing.

    We are Christians so we hope you can respect our norms and values.

    If you are trying to learn Dutch we will also be happy to help you (if we have the time of course).

Great place just outside Utrecht. Gardening, building, cleaning.
If you are looking for spiritual growth, purpose of life, cultural exchange and discovering Amsterdam...
