Description
We are Jos and Alice and have lived for 25 years in the province Friesland after living 10 years abroad. Our daughter (30)lives in Los Angeles. Our son lives also in Appelscha . We both work parttime as a teacher and Healthcare manager. We love traveling and meet new people. Around our new house we have an ecological garden, which needs yearly maintenance like Möring and haymaking. 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.
