Description
We are: Anouk & Maarten with teenage triplets Nina, Chet & Miles (15) and our 2 dogs (Bink en Meiske). Our older children Hugo (25), Lily (23) and Jules (22) live, study and work in Amsterdam.
We're an Euregion (dutch-german) busy-buzzing family living on the Belgium french-speaking countryside next to 3 cities (Maastricht, Liege and Aachen).
We are non-religious (although we’ve adopted a lot of crucifixes from the thrift shop - Anouks hobby), liberal ‘Dutch’, humanistic and down to earth.
Our language at home is Dutch.
Anouk works fulltime on an European science project based in Maastricht and Maarten also fulltime in a finance position at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven.
We live in a small village in a charming beautiful big old 18th century house named Villa des Roses with a tower, congiergerie, orangerie, pigeonnaire, cabin in the woods, a big ecological style garden, vegetable patches and a forest with pathways on 20.000m2 of our own.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We are a non-religious, liberal, open-minded, pro-active, positive, busy-buzzing and out-going ‘Dutch’ family.
We also welcome workaways with disabilities or issues like asperger, hypersensitiveness, anxiety, adhd. But we would like to be noticed in advance, so we can adapt.
We respect all religions/orientations/genders and would never try to convince/persuade/change a lifestyle or a person. We also respect nature and sustainability a lot. We expect the same attitude of you.
But we never mind a good discussion which ends in an agree to disagree or maybe an understanding and another perspective of how someone else lives their life.
During dinner we speak dutch, that can be challenging at first, but after a short while you will understand the basics :)

Aide
Our ideal workawayer is >25 years old and wants to stay at least a month. Proactivity and independency towards the help you provide is really important to us. You see where help is needed without us asking. We also use an organizing app called Trello.
Because we work fulltime, we have weekdays chores: helping with easy householdtasks like cleaning & arranging, picking up the triplets from school or fieldhockey in Maastricht; dogcare; some cooking if your good at it (we have a huge woodoven outside): Anouk is a flex-vegan although the rest of the family isn’t. We cook healthy, fresh food. We also have two Thermomixes/Bimbi’s so that’s an easy helper in the kitchen!
Then there are some special projects depending your interest and skills like creating an outside groundfridge, some inside/outside painting and vintage wallpapering in the house. Woodchopping, garden maintenance and clearing pathway. Removing invasive brambles (removing the CO2 deposit) and cutting hedges. Helping rearrange/sorting out ‘stuff’.
A drivers license is a must, because school and fieldhockey is a 20k oneway distant drive. We have an automatic 8 persons Hyundai minivan and a manual 3+ persons (fit the triplets + driver) Toyota iQ at your disposal.

Hébergement
We have a nice workawayroom with a double bed/entresol and living space. Here you share the bathroom with the triplets. Sometimes the workaways overlap, therefore we use a spare guestroom, with a double bed. We’ll provide food and beverages, you can choose them in the supermarket if you have special requests. Happy to join us for meals or let us know in you have other plans.
Autres infos...
During the weekends you can do your thing. Antwerp, Bruges, Brussel, Köln, Dusseldorf, Amsterdam and even Paris and Berlin are easy to reach by public transport. But you are also welcome to chill at the property.
Sometimes we need to be ‘just the two of us’ and go on a trip for a couple of days, then you run the ‘menagerie’. This could be during a long weekend, but we schedule this together with your plans and change it for days off during the week.
During weekends/weekdays when the kids are off to school or the evenings you can visit the cities/areas/points of interest close by, go for numerous hikes around the Natura2000 valley surrounding our village, go urban exploring at the immense abandoned steelfactory opposite the river ‘Maas/Meuse’, the abandoned castles and colemines in the neighbourhood.
Furthermore, we have a yogaroom/gym, meditate in our ‘cabin in the woods, or try out your creative talents in our atelier!
If your into music, go ahead and use the piano, grab a guitar or try the violin.

Laissé par le workawayer (serendipiatravel) pour l'hôte
Anouk and his whole family are a charm, we spent a few pleasant days, they let us work as and when we wanted.
the food was good and the room very comfortable with very large beds, they also left us a car to know the surroundings.
It has been a pleasure staying with them and I hope to see them again. thanks.

Dani and Jaime were a hardworking, independent and nice duo who accomplished a lot in our forest. Talented, sweet and patience. We've loved their musical intermezzos on piano and guitar. And the singing, especially Dani :)
I'll hope you'll have more luck with the autostop during your travels and see you in Madrid one time!

I spent a month immersing myself with them during my trip to Europe, and it was just fabulous!
I do not have the words to describe the experience that I lived, but I met people really great! Not to mention the three… read more

After having people through workaway this last half year, again we found somebody who fits so perfectly in our family! For more than a month, Cassandra helpt us on all levels, even French homework with the kids :) Very neat, independent and friendly. Pro active! Knows when to help and what to do, in our little bit chaotic life that’s really handy!… read more

I stayed for a month with Anouk and her large family (plus dogs, pigs and chicken). They have a grand house in Belgium, near to Liege and Maastricht (you can get to these cities quite easily by bicycle or public transport)
They had lots of space and things to do. The atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed and we could choose when we wanted to… read more

I don't know where to begin describing all the qualities Sam possesses! He IS strong as an ox, very kind, outgoing and positive.
So much more organised than I am, he knew exactly what had to be done, when and where. He introduced me to Trello, took initiative and changed my garden into a botanical area! Sam became a part of our family, but also… read more

Luisa stayed for more than a month at our home. She is a lovely, hard working young woman and an excellent driver to bring our kids back and forth! Together with our other workawayer they were a perfect team, our garden is in a much better state than before. Thank you for your kindness and patience in our sometimes turbulent family :) Good luck on… read more

Sylvie is a treasure: We miss you! We had a lot of laughs (and some tears). She educated the kids, our dogs and was a great help around the house.
Lots of luck and fun during your travels! We'll meet again soon.
