    Description

    Dear traveller,

    We are Elien & Bert, an open minded belgium couple with 2 kids who are living on the countryside in the western part of Belgium.

    After years of traveling, living abroad, hosting and volunteering ourself we decided to settle here for a while in order to give our kids some stability.

    We are looking for volunteers to have some extra company for us and the kids and some extra hands to help us with the children and some light works in and around the house (4 hours a day). In exchange we will provide you all the food you need a nice place to stay and good vibes.

    Our oldest son (4y/o) has autism so we prefer a person who is patient and loving towards children. We also prefer couples or female travelers and someone with a driver licence.
