    This is a wonderful location, near beautiful cities of culture and glorious beaches, You can also enjoy wonderful, wholesome, local produce in this magical place. Al freso if the weather permits!

    Over the last 21 years, I have restored this period villa located in a village near The Hague. Previously, I have worked in many different countries, and for more than a decade for NGO's. I speak Dutch and English fluently. I am a former tax consultant for an international bank, but now I also use an additional degree in Psychology for NGO work.

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    I am a native English speaker, so I can help you improve your language skills - also if you wish to learn Dutch. The period villa is located near beautiful beaches and parks, and bikes are available to borrow. So, for those who wish to enjoy the outdoors, there is plenty to do. For those who love culture, musea and shopping; Delft, The Hague, Rotterdam are all relatively nearby. There is something for everyone, this is a beautiful, tranquil place. I have lived in several countries and love meeting travellers to share stories of adventures and experiences, looking forward to hearing yours and creating some new ones?
