Description
We are a family of 5. We have three boys age 15, 13 and 9. We also have a cat, dog (small one) and a hamster. So you can imagine that there is always something happening in the house. The house is big anough and we have a seperate room to stay. And during the summer we put up a swimming pool in the garden.
We live in a quiet village between Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp. And these are easily accessible via public transportation.
We like to go mountainbiking (although we're not super good at it), walking, dansing,... . I love boardgames (unfortunately my wife doesn't), so we have often friends over for a game. We also love animals, my wife is a vet and she has her practice accross the street.Types of help and learning opportunities
