About Our Family
We are both teachers and are therefore bound to the holiday periods in Belgium, just like our 3 school-age children.
We are a sporty family that loves both the city and the sea. Travelling is our passion and we would like to share it with our children.
We had joined this network just before the covid period. As a result, we did not really get to enjoy the home exchanges. We hope to pick up the thread now staring again in summer 2023.
Lifestyle
Sporty, curious, cultural, passion for travel and discovery, skiing, hiking
