  Description

  My name is Veerle, I am a single mom of two young adults and am living on the outskirts of Gent in Belgium. Starting end of Sep, both of the boys are starting college and will be leaving.
  Gent city center is 10 minutes by bike (bike can be provided). You can find more info about Gent here:
  When you stay at my house, you will have your own room and bathroom and access to the garden, which is rather wild-looking, but that is how I like it.
  Public transport is excellent in Belgium. There is a train station, bus and tram stops close by and you can choose to visit the coast, Brussels, Antwerp,...

  Aide

  I will cook on most days, most often vegetarian, but this is not rigid. I might ask you for help with prepping food, groceries, cleaning, gardening. When I have time, I will work alongside you to clean and garden. If you have DIY skills, I might have some projects for you. I expect to need maximum 3 hours of your time daily, weekends free to explore. I speak French, English and Dutch, very basic Italian, I understand German.
  I prefer a minimum stay of two weeks; this is negotiable. Couples also welcome.

  Spike (4 ans)

  We have a white cat named Spike. Like most cats, he likes to eat and sleep and is particular about who he allows to come near him. I may ask you to feed him mornings and/or evenings when I am away myself
