    Description

    Hi travelers!
    I live one week out of two with my two amazing kids of 5 and 9 years old! we have a cat called Mia.
    My village is called Durnal, situated between two historical cities in Belgium: Dinant and Namur..., one hour drive from Liège and bruxelles, 2hours drive from the north see, so close from france, holland, Germany and Luxembourg...
    Durnal is a village in the country surrounded by nature. My house is one of the oldest from the village, made from blue and yellow stones from the area.
    At the back, there is a huge, wonderful and wild landscape... I work a lot in the garden, this is my playing area! Often, I welcome backpackers to camp in the garden or just to sleep in my spareroom.
    When I was 25, i travelled all around australia and new zealand... Not easy today to travel like this with the kids and my job, but the magical feeling of meeting new people and help them in there adventure never left me! I also want to transmit to my kids these values: the reel richness is about the people you meet!
    Often i need a hand to help me in the garden or in the house, little works, or just taking care of the cats if i have to leave...
    Actually, I ambition to arrange a shared orchard at the back of my field! So the end of automn would be perfect to plant the trees and to buil a fence :-)
    You like gardening?
    You like nature?
    You can fix little stuffs in a house?

    So you have to stop in Durnal!
    Hope to hear from you!
