We are a family of four: Els (50), Lieven (50) and our two sons of 19 and 15. We have worked in other countries and places but now we have settled down in Belgium and we live in probably the oldest (former farm) house (dating from the 16th century) of a small village near Beveren, just out of the village in the fields, with easy acces to Antwerp and Gent. The train station (Beveren) is about 3 km from our house.

We work / study but we have time to show you the nature here, a walk / hike in the surrounding fields or when you go to Antwerp, Brussels, etc. we can bring and pick you up at the station.
We have a dog, chickens, and a green meadow, not for cows unfortenately. In Summer you can pitch your tent here easily!
We try to go once a year for a hike from hut to hut in Switzerland, Italy or other countries with beautiful mountains.
