  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  I live in a small municipality, which is an excellent base from which one can explore
  Brussels (39km), Antwerp (25km), Brugge (90km), Leuven (64km), Gent (42km)
  There is public transport nearby, and I am willing to give you a lift or pick you up
  at the train/bus station in Temse.
  I don't live in the country side, but there are some nice areas of nature in the
  neighbourhood, for walking or cycling.
  AMMA's center is nearby.

  Algo más...

  ---------- IMPORTANT ---------------
  Please read the whole profile and send a PERSONAL message.
  I will only reply to people who have read my profile and send a personal mail.
  Copy paste mails will be ignored.
  Let me know if you are contacting more hosts at the same time. I understand you do this. But it gives more
  transparancy when you do communicate this. In the past volunteers applied, I was making arrangements, at the same time they were in contact with other hosts, and decided to go to the other host.
  
  ---------- GOOD TO KNOW ----------
  - we might be working together, or not. Depending on my own agenda.
  - day of arrival (in the afternoon), you don't work. Departure after breakfast.
  - before coming we can make a videocall together so we can talk easier and see what matches.
  - I like to share and listen to your stories, I am more then interested, on the other hand I need my own space
  - I really need my sleep so if you rather stay up very late in night this is not the place to be
  - Wifi goes out at 22u30 till morning
  - towels will be provided
  - I prefer you go out and explore on your free days
  - have a decent profile him/herself with at least two positieve reviews
  - communicate a fair bit before we commit to your coming,
  - it’s important you have a good work ethic, and not be too picky on the jobs ('Can't you give me something inside, it's too chilly to work outside' is not really the attitude that I am longing for. I want some help, not to have to argue to get something done)
  - realize he/she is a guest in my house, therefor should accept the house rules without constantly having comments or questioning on the way I live
  - you should have an insurance
  - I am very strict with water use. If you need to wash your long hairs daily, if you take long showers, or let the water running when soaping your hands, this is really NOT the place for you. Please mention this rule in your application. For me the confirmation that you read my profile till the end.
