Description
I am Paul. I recently bought a house in a small village in the north of the Netherlands. I welcome anyone with positive attitude who likes to stay with me, to enjoy the surroundings and give me a hand around the house that i am renovating bit by bit. You are welcome to stay with me spring and summer 2024. During this period I will focus mainly on the great garden plan, which i believe will offer a good opportunity for a workawayer to help, share and learn.
My house is is easy to reach for any traveller: the train station is 2 minutes walk from our house.
In daily life I work with refugees in the Netherlands I like to ride bicycle, grow vegetables, and meet people.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I am happy to meet and exchange and love to spend time with our guests. I have travelled before and were active members on couchsurfing and warmshowers. I can share our knowledge of Dutch life, language and culture. If time allows, we also enjoy showing guests around. I can give you recommendations for things to do in the surroundings, as well as in other parts of the Netherlands.
(Please do note that I have a regular job throughout the week, so our availability during week days is somewhat limited)
Aide
Throughout the year, I always have different things to do, such as simple maintenance of the garden (I have a small vegetable garden and some flowers, you can help me look after it/ grow new seeds, etc), sanding and painting (both interior and exterior), plastering
In the spring and summer of 2024, I will build execute the great garden plan, meaning: Building: a greenhouse, a pond attracting more animals to the garden, growing vegetables and planting trees and bushes.

Hébergement
In our house, I can offer a private room with a double bed. Kitchen and bathroom will be shared. I'll provide three meals a day . I enjoy to eat together, and cooking + dishwashing will be done in turns.
For larger groups, please do not hesitate to reach out either, as I could possibly accommodate you in another part of the house, or even in a tent in the garden or at a campsite nearby (10 minutes walk from our house).
Autres infos...
My house is situated in a small and easy to reach village: the train station is 2 a minutes walk from our house. The bigger city is Groningen, which is a 25 minutes train ride. From Groningen, you can reach any destination in the Netherlands, as well as north of Germany.
The village has a small shop for daily groceries, and a little museum. During summer many activities are being organised in the surroundings. The area has several beautiful villages (including one that was awarded the price for 'most beautiful village of the Netherlands). The long distance hiking trail "Pieterpad" starts nearby, and there's plenty of opportunity for nice walks and bike rides (I usually have a spare bike that guests can use). We also live close to the most northern harbour in the Netherlands (famous for its cafe that once welcomed Bob Dylan). Finally, the "waddengebied" (UNESCO world heritage) is nearby, and I highly recommend that you go mud walking.

Paul and Maaike are a very interesting, funny and peculiar couple! They are so meant to be together. I was happy to be their first Workawayer! And to be able to help them to finish the bathroom and toilet! Uhul! Silicon all the way, babe! Laugh. I have tried some great new soups (the corn soup was my favourite), some Dutch dishes, as many… read more
