Ghent is one of the popular touristic places to visit in Europe, with its interesting museums, romantic canals, historical buildings and many more. The city has a great range of restaurants, bars, cafés, chocolate- and beer shops, cinema, concert halls, etc..
By train or car you can visit other interesting and historical cities such as Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, Brussels.
Hiking and cycling is very popular here, there are many easy and flat cycling trails. We have 3 adults city bikes available and 2 kids bikes for play.
Ghent is also close to the coastal cities (40 km), at the North sea that offer kite- and windsurfing, beach sailing, golf, casino's, fishing- and sailing ports. Along the coastline you can take the tram from the French border (De Panne) to the Dutch border (Knokke).

About Our Family
Mijn kinderen zijn reeds het huis uit en gaan nu meestal met hun partner op reis maar soms reizen ze nog graag met mij mee en houden van de formule van huisruil. Ik doe ook vaak huisruil samen met gepensioneerde vrienden. Soms ook met mijn zus of met mijn dochter Rieke, haar man Tom en mijn kleinkind Alexander.
Lifestyle
Valuable for us are friendship, confide, respect, sincerity, enjoy nature and family.
