  Description

  Hello there! My name is Stephen (duuuh),
  
  My dog his name is Sammy, he is a bundle of joy, but also a hand full. He is a Bearded Collie of 8 wh is an intact male. Dog on the pictures is Willow, she is no longer with us :'( Sammy is the same bread of dog!).
  
  He is a good boy, but he has his quirks and has a lot of energy. So he has to walk a lot every day. You will need experience with dogs!!!!
  
  I will be away for several days, up to a week. My sister, mother and friend live nearby, they are willing to help out. You can stay longer if you want. You can use everything in my place.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Hoorn is a small but lovely town with an old historical city center with a rich history, Surrounding is the country side and close by is the Beemster which is on the UNESCO heritage list. Several interesting museums nearby (like the outdoor museum in Enkhuizen). You can explore the area by one of my cars, bikes, kayak or by public transportation.
  
  I can teach you about reselling and local, national and almost any type of history and I really love to do so!

You are free to go where you want and you can chill in the living room and ofcourse use the kitchen/bathroom (duh).My place is nicely located at the lake front and you will have a beatiful view over the lake and its new beach.
