Also Paris and Amsterdam are not so far away by train or car. Ghent is a very nice historical city. Ghent is known for the summerfestival in july, a very big city festival, 10 days long every day and night music, animation, street theatre, .... . Of course you can visit the historical cities like Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, Luik, . Our coast is 64 km long and very busy, but if you like it, why not.

Surroundings : the village of Landskouter is very quiet. There are no shops, no pubs. But 4-5 km away there are shops and everything you need in the villages Scheldewindeke, Melle, Oosterzele, Merelbeke. Ghent is 18 km by car and 15' by train, Ghent is a major city, of course you find everything there.
In our street you can start marked cycle routes (2) and you can start beautiful walks.
Landskouter is the first entrance to the "Flemisch Ardens", a hilly region with lots of possibilities to walk and cycle, drive arround, visiting historical attractions, drinking a glass on cosy cafe-terras, ...
We have lovely neighbourghs who are used to the fact that "strangers" live in our house and they want to help where needed.
For description of other possibilities in Belgium : see text house.

Vorstellungstext über sich bzw. Ihre Familie
We are Viviane and Ria, 58 and 62 years old and married. We have no children. Viviane is director of an educational organisation providing courses for adults who work with disabled people. Ria is a civil servant at cultural affairs.
Lebensstil
We are very interested in gardens, books, food, meating people, cycling, photography, ecological lifestyle, movies, ....
We like travelling and have seen already a lot of countries. We went for house-exchange five times and really like it. In 2012 two people from Canada (76 + 77 years old !) did homesit on our house without a car, it is possible, but it is more comfortable with a car. In 2013 a family from Switserland with two children enjoyed their stay in our house. In 2014 two Dutch sisters stayed for a week and a Danish couple stayed for three weeks. In 2015 we did an exchange with a man from Amsterdam. In 2018 we did an exchange with a family from Canada, car included. They had a baby and we provided all gear necessary from friends.
But before we started with house exchange, every year we went on vacation someone known or unknown came house-sitting, so our house is open for guests.
