    Description

    We are Jos and Alice and have lived for 18 years in Donkerbroek with our son Jules (22 years) after living 10 years abroad. Our daughter Sanne (24) lives in New York. The three of us are working during the day.(either at the company or at home).We love traveling and meet new people. For this winter we have planned a big ‘clean up’ in and around the house. With bad weather we will be inside: cleaning, painting, renovating. With nice weather we can do several jobs outside. We live in a beautiful area suitable for running, walking, bicycling, photographing and other nature relate activities. Whatever you like to do, we are happy to help you to discover our area and other people.
