House in Epe, Netherlands
We are Tineke and Pierre, 62 and 74 years of age.
Both are retired, before he retired, his work was to visit people, who were ill and therefore could not come to work. Tineke was facility manager of a company who helps people to find a new job or to develop their skills.( At 01-10-2018 retired).
Our first home exchange was in 1985. We already made more then 50 exchanges all over Europe. Sometimes even 3 times a year, always with great pleasure. We went to a lot of nice places and enjoyed the homes of all the other Intervac Families.
We hope to continue exchanging for at last the next 10 years.
Epe is a Village (20.000 inhabitants) with a lot of interesting places to visit.
Zwolle and Apeldoorn, both city,s within a short distance and easy to reach ( (half an hour)
Nice little towns of interest nearby ; Elburg, Hattem, Deventer, Harderwijk, Heerde, Zutphen.
Our house is built in 1919 but offers modern comfort.
We have a nice garden and from our house it is just a 3 minutes walk to the town center.There is enough space to park your car. We have 4 bedrooms, one we use as a Paintingstudio for Tineke.. We have two double beds. Our kitchen/diningroom is well equipped, with fridge, freezer, oven, dishwasher, washingmachine.
In our area you can make nice walks, bike or make city trips.
Epe is situated at the Veluwe, an area of great natural interest with woods and moreland.with very nice views..
The bus-stop to Zwolle and Apeldoorn and other places is 100 mtr from our house.

About Our Family
We love to travel, not only with Intervac, but also other trips. In the past we went to Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesie, Suriname and Cuba for example. When exchanging houses we like to visit nice city's as well as the country. We like walking in nature but also goning out to eat in nice cosy restaurants.
We sometimes like to travel with friends.
Lifestyle
We live in a nice small town with enough shops to do the daily shopping. The people here are very friendly. It is easy to go to a bigger city like Zwolle or Apeldoorn. The busstop is only 50 mtrs from our house.
Life is very relaxed in Epe.
We have a nice garden with several terrasses where you can sit and relax, reads a book, or drink a glass of wine in the evening.
