Description
I have to renovate my private home that I want to reform in Ostend Belgium, 20 min from Bruges . The apartment where you guys will stay is like 2.5 km from the sea and around the corner of my house that we will reform.
We will cook and eat together. Sometimes we organize a BBQ with the team and also go all together to the beach. We provide free train tickets so in your free time you can explore Belgium.
We will work with you all the time so if you want to learn another language this will be the time, also we will show and teach you a lot how to reform a house. Since we did it before allready. During July and August which is the perfect time to be in Belgium. Nice weather and super nice place to hang out. I need help with painting and carpeting and tiling a little construction and removing wallpaper, sanding a staircase .... We also work with professionals for plumbing and electricity. Send me a message if you are interested.
you have a free room in an apartment 2.5 km which is a 30 min walk or 10 min bike from the sea , the train station and city center is 20 min walk or 6 min in bike . We have public transportation nearby and everything is walking distance. Public transportation is very well organized here. I speak French, Flemmish ( dutch ), English, Spanish, German. Also we have a beautiful city nearby which is Bruges ( big history ). Flanders is a super region to be in. Lovely weather, hiking, horseriding, culture, .... we have loads to visit (Brussels / gent / Antwerp/ Liege ) sports ( hiking / biking / padel / watersports / horseriding / mountainbiking )
