    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are open to get to know your culture. We offer you a Dutch meal, but maybe you would like to cook according to your traditions? We offer you a place to sleep in a Dutch gypsy wagon, but this one is without a bathroom: you'll need to use the bathroom in our house. You can also stay in our house. Because we are located in the middle of the Netherlands, many interesting places are easily accessible. Think of Amsterdam, Oostvaardersplassen, IJsselmeer, Giethoorn, etc.
