    Welcome to the Sonian Forest and this house with a beautiful garden and relaxed atmosphere.

    My name is Jan and together with my irish setter Castard I work as a forest ranger in the Sonian Forest and have a house and garden which are too big and are keen to welcome positive travel vibes and some help in and around the house. Mostly gardening and pimping the workaway annex glamping zone to get that 5th star rating for uber comfy zone :) You are also welcome to help in forest activities. Always interested in meeting new people and learn new perspectives on life. Some good energy topped with some belgian beers and chocolate are a free bonus here ^^

    Let’s share some nice moments. I appreciate open communication, mutual respect and transparency - if u have any question or doubts please ask me.

    I’ll will be happy to give u some bearings in and around the house. U are welcome to a very comfy camping experience which we can pimp a bit further during your stay. With all the covid measures the communal areas are the ground floor bathroom and kitchen. U will be having a nice space in the annex with hammock, bed, couch, egg chair,.. ( if you want to camp in the garden it’s possible as well , I have some tents ) No drugs or smoking in and around the house please.

    There is wifi around the house and some garden areas.

    Every single help u can give during your stay is very welcome and appreciated. I’ll facilitate and explain as much as I can. With a fresh smile each morning the practicalities will sort itself out.

    As you’ll experience I believe in freedom and responsibility . Setting goals and letting u be a co-architect of your day and the work to be done. If you see another way or think of something don’t hesitate to bring it up.

    How to reach Jan's house from Bruxelles-Midi :

    In the train station, follow the "De Lijn" signs until you get out of the station next to Hotel Pullman.

    The "De Lijn" bus company platforms are in front of you (in the middle of Avenue Paul-Henri Spaak). Buses 136 and 137 depart usually from platform 1. Both take you to Jan's house (direction Alsemberg).

    The bus trip is about 30 minutes. Get of at Uccle Petite Epinette / Kleine Hut.

    Tickets can be purchased by uploading the "De Lijn" app. Choose the m-ticket for 1.80 euros. It's valid for 1 hour. Once bought, when the bus departs, you need to activate the ticket in the app.
