I stayed a week in Benjamin's place and another week in My's place (their friend's place, since the kids are not home in another week). The experience is just AMAZING.

I´ve spent four weeks with Caroline, Benjamin and their four lovely, open-minded, funny, kind, sharing children and these were four fantastic weeks, because this family makes you really feel part of them and integrated in their whole life. You can remark, that a stay with this family is about sharing, about give-and-take insights in different… read more
