Nice house with cosy terrace and large garden nearby Ghent, Bruges, Brussels, Antwerp and the Belgium coast.
Hi, we're Dirk (66y-retired) and Jenny (62y-supplier quality engineer micro-electronics, but also recently retired).
We already made 40 succesfull exchanges in the past years (1995-2007 and 2014-2023) and are open for any nice proposal to exchange homes.
We live in a large modern villa with all comfort and a nice garden of 1200m2 that is located in the East-Flanders/Lys region.
Our house has 3 double bedrooms and a single bedroom, so place for 7 persons.
WiFi is free, and we have a Chromecast connected at our TV.
We can also exchange our car Opel Zafira Tourer and have 4 nice bikes (2 normal bikes + 2 electric ones).
You can smoke outside our house but not inside.
In our region there are many hiking/biking and boating possibilities.
First of all have a look at this very nice website about what you can see in the Belgium-Flanders region :

ES51774Very successful exchange with a very experienced family. The entire experience was blissful, starting with good communication and arrangements, then a wonderful two-week stay at their large home in Belgium, finalized with the exchanged of our written journals. They left our house clean and well maintained. Most of all they are friendly and responsive people.
