Our neighbourhood Parc Sandur is child-friendly and quiet and contains several playgrounds, one of which is next to our house. Furthermore, there is a golf course and a recreational center, where you can rent bikes and boats, play minigolf or do some bowling. There also is a nice swimming pool. All this within a five minute walking distance.
The population of our neighbourhood consist of a mixture of elderly people and young families. There's light traffic, but otherwise it's a silent neighbourhood.
In our province, Drenthe, nature is never far away. You can go and easily cycle or hike into forests and moors, due to the proximity of these areas. Our neighbourhood is situated next to a recreational area called Rietplas. Various activities can be undertaken on foot, bike or on the water.

About Our Family
We are a couple of 29 and 30 years old. We have a daughter namend Loïs, who is 5 months old. We have two cats and a fish. Roosmarijn is a biology and chemistry teacher, Marnick is a legal employee at the township of Emmen.
Roosmarijn has had multiple experiences with home exchanges via Intervac. Her parents have done this a lot, that's why we're putting our house on Intervac for a home exchange. It's good fun!
Lifestyle
Our hobbies are travelling, (mountain)biking and hiking. We also like to meet up with friends and family. Further, Roosmarijn likes to bake cakes, which Marnick occasionally likes to try out.
