    Description

    We are a family of 4. That includes me, my husband and our 2 lovely childeren, age 3 and 4.
    We also have some animals. 4 cats that live indoor, so anyone allergic to cats won't feel at home here.
    Outside live our 4 chickens. I also have a horse, currently at another stable, but next year the stable at home will be ready.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Around 10 years ago I travelled Australia and stayed in several places.
    Now I would like to return the favor to other travellers to learn more about Belgium.

    I speak dutch and good english, so we can practise in these languages.
    We can also understand french or german.

    Last winter we moved to our new home on 5500 m².
    The house and garden still need some improvements. You can help us building the new fence, maintaining the paddocks or weeding the terrace.
    If you're not that into outdoors projects, cleaning, cooking or entertaining the kids would also be helpfull (they are 3 and 4 years old and love playing games, jumping the trampoline or playing outdoors)

    This summer we are home from juli 21 to aug 15. Other times we work monday to friday.

    Accommodation

    We can offer you your own bedroom.
    It might sometimes be a little cluttered, since it also serves as our storage for old children stuff, christmas things and sewing room.
    But it is definitely spacious and private :)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Moorslede is a small town, near Roeselare.
    Roeselare and the trainstation are about 8km away. Sometimes we might be able to drive you or you can use one of our bikes to get around.
    By train it is about 1 hour to Brussels or Antwerp or less then 30 min to Bruges

    Other interesting things to see are the world war memorials around Zonnebeke or Ieper.

    If you like biking there is a nice route 500m from here
