About Us
We’re a friendly, multilingual couple living near the coast in Ostend, and we’re looking for motivated and positive Workawayers to join us this summer. We love good food, travel, and cultural exchange, and our home has become a fun, international meeting place with amazing reviews from past helpers who felt like part of the family!
What We Offer
A private room in a cozy apartment just 1 km from the beach (15 min walk / 5 min by bike)
All meals, drinks, and snacks included
Pocket money and free train tickets to explore Belgium
Friendly, respectful environment where you’ll always feel supported
Opportunity to practice languages (English, French, Spanish, Dutch, or German)
Everything you need — city center, shops, and train station — is within walking distance.
We love to cook together and often organize BBQs, pizza nights, or dinners with friends. On weekends, we visit the beach, local markets, or historical cities like Bruges and Ghent.
You’ll have plenty of free time to explore, surf, cycle, hike, padel, tennis or just relax by the sea.
Language & Cultural Exchange
We speak French, Flemish, English, Spanish, and German, and we’re happy to help you practice or learn a new one! In return, we’d love to learn a bit of your language and culture too. 🌎
