Description
ABOUT US:
We are a mixed couple (Belgian and Mexican) living my in family house (3rd generation). I host on other platforms for 18 years and I also have tenants. And we want to give room sometimes to times to travelers from Workaway to give us a hand to maintain/improve the house.
LOCATION:
We are located in Auderghem (metro Beaulieu) : you have direct line to the centre and european institutions area (20-25 minutes from door to door), there are collective bike stations neirby (it costs only few euros per month), and a lot of supermarkets, restaurants etc.
BUT the main point of the area is that there are several beautiful parks and the forest at less than 25 minutes walk.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If I (Michel) have time, I will show you either the centre of have a long walk with you in the neigborhood if you are interested into local things and nature. I have been on a hosting platform for 18 years so it is my pleasure to show around :)
We are are Belgian-Mexican couple:
- Michel (39) is working in digital communication, was photographer and webmaster, now working in web accessibility, I was also travel blogger and (semi-)nomad for almost 10 years. I can teach about how to integrate content and basics about photographies. I can also give a lot of info about travels (roads, website, tips, etc.).
- Adriana (45) was working in logistics and RH in Mexico. She arrives this summer 2025 for a change of life and we are setting up the things, a stone at a time as we say in French. She can tell you more about what to think about logistics (moving goods from a country to another) and RH.
There will also be tenants that stay here for middle/long term that each one brings its own culture and knowledge.
And we hope you will bring us new knowledge, about countries you have be raised and stayed for a while.

Help
HOUSE:
- helping me to do tasks together such as painting room, emptying the basement, taking care of the garden
ART:
Artwork for walls and a mailbox
E-LEARNING:
if you have real and deep knowledge in creating e-learning and promoting it, to digital professionals (dev, designers, copyrighter). I need the learning platform to comply with accessibility (A11Y) for people with disabilities. So I would need to share knowledge with someone who really know about the topics of LMS and promotion of e-learning for B2B.

Accommodation
A private room, with a 140x200cm or 160x200cm bed, depending on the room available. In case you come with a friend and it would be more confortable, we can offer an extra 90x200cm to put on the floor during the night.
The base of the offer is sleeping and breakfast, but we might sometimes offer you to join us for dinner. It depends on the workload as well: sometimes we do not have much to ask you to do, and sometimes it can be handy and demanding and of course we want to thank you for the extra effort.
On top of private room, you will have:
- 3 meals/day the day you are working if work 20-25 hours/week (sometimes we will cook together, sometimes not).
- If you just work a few hours a week because there is no much during your stay, you will have breakfast
What else ...
Smoking is allowed, only in the garden. No drug allowed.
