House in Zetten, Netherlands
We live in a small village of 5000 inhabitants. It is situated in the centre of Holland, between the two big rivers , the river Rhine and Waal. Zetten is about 75 minutes from Amsterdam and Rotterdam; 45 minutes from Utrecht and 20 minutes from Arnhem and Nijmegen. Kleve (Germany) is 30 minutes by car, Antwerp and Brussels about 90 minutes.
In the village are all the shops you might need. Our house is situated in a close of 12 houses. We have a garden on three sides of the house, but the backgarden is most important. There you can sit under a veranda at the back of the house. In a circle of 25 km. you will find many tourist attractions such as zoos, an open air museum, woods, lake, dikes (cycling) and other interesting museums and a national park in which there is a museum with many Van Gogh paintings.
Some interesting sites (in English, French or German) are:

About Our Family
We are a family of two persons. Our 2 daughters are married and have a family of their own.
Lifestyle
We don't smoke. We love the countryside, but also big towns for museums, shopping and theatre.
Our neighbourhood is very pleasant for cycling, because this part of the country is flat. When you cycle along the rivers it is nice to see the boats sailing by.
Wout's hobbies are reading, sport and in summertime he is a guide in the Open Air Museum in Arnhem.
In summer it's nice to swim in the mentioned lake in Slijk Ewijk, where there is a lot to do.
Gea's hobbies are reading, singing in a choir and making clothes for the grandchildren.
We are experienced Intervac- members. Some of our exchange partners have come back for a second or a third time.
We have 2 good bikes to explore the countryside.
