The family Gartner is a very kind and loving family! Their house is very cosy and comfortable. The village is quiet but still you have everything you need. You are close to mountains and a lot of lakes. A real pleasure to do house exchange with them!
De huizenruil was een heel fijne ervaring. De familie was zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Het huis was heel gezellig en goed voorzien van alles wat we nodig hadden. De omschrijving van hun huis klopte helemaal.

Hello! We are a family with a mother and two sons. I was born in 1982 and work at a university of applied sciences in Ghent where I mainly do research. A few years ago I got divorced and continued to live in the original family home. In the meantime, we have loved living here since 2010. The children are with me part-time. I love sports (walking, cycling, running, yoga, padel,...), seeing family and friends (drinking tea, cooking or exercising together,..) and cultural trips (film, theatre, exhibitions,...). I also enjoy working in the garden and being creative (clay, sewing, ...). I have a new relationship with Sven. He is 5 years older than me and has 3 teenage children.
So an exchange can happen for my children and me or for Sven and me.
Aaron is a sporty teenager who loves Lego, Nerf, Nintendo Switch, Gravitec and football. He plays for the local football team as a defender or goalkeeper. He's also a big fan of the train, hence his large Lego train collection ;-)
Elias is a lively toddler who loves to play outside and is a fan of plasticine, Duplo, Paw Patrol and Spiderman. He likes to sit with his hands in the sand or the earth.
Hallo! We zijn een gezin met een mama en twee zonen. Ik ben geboren in 1982 en werk op een hogeschool in Gent waar ik vooral onderzoek doe. Enkele jaren geleden ben ik gescheiden en ben ik blijven wonen in de oorspronkelijke gezinswoning. Ondertussen wonen we hier al heel graag sinds 2010. De kinderen zijn halftijds bij mij. Ik hou van sport (wandelen, fietsen, lopen, yoga, padel,...), familie- en vrienden zien (thee drinken, samen koken of sporten,..) en culturele uitstappen (film, toneel, tentoonstellingen,...). Ik kan ook er genieten van in de tuin werken en creatief bezig zijn (klei, naaien, ...). Ik heb een nieuwe relatie met Sven. Hij is 5 jaar ouder dan mij en heeft 3 tienerkinderen.
Een ruil kan dus gebeuren voor mijn kinderen en mij of voor Sven en mij.
Aaron is een sportieve tiener die houdt van Lego, Nerf, Nintendo Switch, Gravitec en voetbal. Hij speelt bij de plaatselijke voetbalploeg als verdediger of doelman. Hij is ook een grote fan van de trein vandaar zijn grote Lego trein collectie ;-)
Elias is een levendige kleuter die graag buiten speelt en fan is van plasticine, Duplo, Paw Patrol en Spiderman. Hij zit graag met zijn handen in het zand of de aarde.
