Welcome!
WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN OLDER COUPLE WITH EXPERIENCE WITH DOGS TO LOOK AFTER OUR SWEET BLACK LADY SHEPHERD WHEN WE TRAVEL WITH OUR FAMILY TO CUBA (APRIL 2021). NO EXCHANGE REQUIRED (or maybe non-simultanous). Ask us for more information.
We offer a big house, in the old citycentre of Zutphen, 50m from the IJsselriver (with waterlane for the children). 450m2, 5 stages, nice little garden, near shops, water (old river) at a marvelous little place with a rich history in the east of the Netherlands. Our dog stays only at the ground floor; second and higher floors not allowed for her. Our house:

2 livingrooms;
Big livingkitchen and diningroom;
Bathroom with bath;
Basement;
2 toilets.
Securities to apply are wii, dvd (including a lot of arthousemovies, kidsmovies), computer, classic games, a lot of books and toys. We can send you more photographs of the interior, if you like.
AMSTERDAM is only 1,5 our traveling. We can tell you where to find a good parking in our capital city, or how to travel by train. Border Germany one our.
Our style (interiour house) is INDUSTRIAL-CLASSIC-NATURE. A lot of wood, several colours, creativity, raw elements, Morrocan-Portugese floors. We have some mountainbikes (4*) and regular bikes (4*).
We had 12 intervac home-exchanges: Brussel (BE, 2008), Amsterdam (NL, 2008), Haarlem (NL, 2010), Austria (2010), Woudrichem (NL, 2012), Belgium (2012), Leeuwarden (2012), Denmark (2013), Normandy (2014), Versailles/Paris (2016), UK (2017), Spain (2018), Berlin and Prague (2019).
We can stay at you're house sumultanous or non-sumultanous. Dates and places we like to exchange christmas and/or summer 2021: Belgium, N-France, Germany, Swiss, S-Denmark. Summer 2022: Spanisch speaking (Latin) America (Argentinia for instance), Canada, Greeche, Italy, Norway or Sweden. We like to come with our black shepherd 'Baka', if possible. Otherwise we will look for another opportunity for her.
We are looking for people to exchange who (just like us and our children) respect other people's things, who also like clean houses. Water in the neighbourhood would be lovely (sea or swimmingpool).
You will like it here in Zutphen: plenty of room, beautifull old environment, riverlife, shops all around. Ask for more pictures if you like. Looking forward to hear from you!

About Our Family
Michel is secondaryschool teacher at the Waldorfschule (astronomy and philosofie), love to seek creative ways to learn children the best way they could. Agnès is advisor/policymaker and loves art and culture. 2013 she started her own company: www.beleidsmaker.nl.
Our children:
Zenit (2000) loves movies, geography and politics. He knows every country and city of the world and reads a lot of historybooks. Vita (2004) loves to swim and play football, hangout with her friends. Solei (2009) has a rich fantasy and draws and plays all day long. She loves horses! Paix (2011) is a real heartbreaker and reads books all day long.
We came from the city, decided in 2007 to live on an island. Since 2016 we went back to the city and love it. We live with one cat: Ramla (2012) and a dog (2019): Baka. Ramla stays at home when we arrive, the dog is coming with us to you're house -if you accept. The cat is very friendly and love to hug with you!
We are non-smoking.
Lifestyle
We like to walk behind the beaches, shopping in old Zutphen, Deventer, Arnhem, Zwolle or Utrecht (all reachable within a few km), walking in the forrests, cooking and eating, enjoying good (kids) movies, telling stories. Between all those nice things we make our house better every year..
Since 2013 we have our own company.
