    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You would live with a Dutch family with 3 sons (19, 20and 22 ) We like them to meet new people and talk English, German, Spanish or French. They all study and work. We both work, partly from home, but you can have your privacy in the tiny house. Of course we have our moments together and you can use our bikes! We have a big friendly dog that loves to be taken out for a walk. A good way to explore the neighboorhood.

    Help

    We are a busy family that loves to meet people. We share our tiny house with travellers on bicycles, We love to offer it to somebody that can help us with one specific task. Painting the outside of the house. This is a big project which would need some knowledge and skills of preparing, cleaning, sanding and painting Trespa plates and some small maintanance in the house (painting walls, woodwork and the stairs, some outside painting, one room needs some wallpaper). We expect that it will only take a month or two if you also like to explore Amsterdam and surroundings! Which we advise to do of course.
