  Description

  We are Jos and Sieglinde, a couple in our mid-fifties. Our three (now adult) children were homeschooled. Nowadays our garden is open to visitors of all ages to play, learn or stay. A dog, two cats, two geese and a turtle live in the garden. There is a little treehouse, books and boardgames, cosy places to sit, some trees and wild and cultured plants. We are happy to share this all in exchange for a little help; we are rebuilding the shed, making it a place to sleep, outdoor shower and kitchen. Beside, there are always too many little tasks to do in a household so you can choose to help with some things that have to be done: mowing the lawn, feeding and walking the dog, weeding, cooking etc.
  Our house is situated in a little village, only a few kilometers from Tongeren, Hasselt, Liège, Maastricht... We will be happy to tell you about Haspengouw, Limburg and the lovely places you can visit.

  Help

  We would love to have some helping hands to rebuild the shed. Beside that, there are always too many daily things to do in a household :-) We will be happy if you see a task that has to be done and decide to help us with doing it: feeding and walking the dog, watering the plants, cooking a meal etc.

  Accommodation

  Until the shed is fully functional, we provide a tent or a caravan or you can sleep in a spare room in our house and use the kitchen and bathroom whenever you like. If you prefer, you can stay in your own tent or shelter. There is NO place to park a car or camper near the house. You have to provide your own food, there is a supermarket on a ten minute walk. But we will be happy to share our fresh vegetables and fruit (apples, grapes, berries) as long as we have any. Sometimes we will cook together if you like. It's also always possible to make a fire for BBQ.
