  Description

  We are a family of 5 living in the countryside but close to 2 train stations (Ciney and Dinant) which make access easy. We love meeting new people and intercultural experiences! We are already used to exchanging our house and regularly welcoming cyclists in transit. We would like help in managing our large garden. Our many eco-citizen commitments take up a lot of our time and our garden is often neglected. Small tasks are also possible (painting, for example). No special skills needed, just good will and the desire to share our family life for a few days in all simplicity 😊! Our children (11, 9 and 7 years old) love meeting new people, and so do we! Welcome! Céline, Simon Léo, Paulin and Coline

Nous adorons les nouvelles rencontres et les expériences interculturelles! Nous avons déjà l'habitude d'échanger notre maison et d'accueillir régulièrement des cyclistes en transit. Nous souhaitons de l'aide dans la gestion de notre grand jardin. Nos nombreux engagements éco-citoyens nous prennent beaucoup de temps et notre jardin est souvent délaissé. Possibilité aussi de petits travaux (peinture, par exemple). Pas besoin de compétences particulières, juste de la bonne volonté et l'envie de partager pendant quelques jours notre vie de famille en toute simplicité 😊! Nos enfants (11ans, 9 et 7 ans) adorent rencontrer de nouvelles personnes, et nous aussi ! Bienvenue !
