Neighbourhood

Voorburg has the looks and feel of a village. It has a beautiful old and small city centre which has a few nice restaurants, bars and shops (fur funshopping!!! not the average but the nice stuff, fashion, but also beautiful toys, the best cheeses, a few excellent shops for buying wine...). We especially appreciate the bakery at 150 m. (fresh bread every morning!) and the wine specialist around the corner. Voorburg is situated along the Vliet, a canal that connects Voorburg to Leiden, Delft and Rotterdam. The Vliet offers a scenic and safe biking route that gives you acces to all these cities, but also various nice pick nick spots, places to play etc. Voorburg is part of a bigger urban area that contains the city of The Hague as well. The Hague has lots of museums, more restaurants, bars and a seaside area called Scheveningen. The medieval 'Binnenhof' is where the Dutch prime minister has his office and where Dutch parliament meets, There you will also find the Mauritshuis, home to Vermeers' 'girl with the pearl earring'.

Nearest airport

Either Amsterdam or Rotterdam!

Getting around

Shopping can be done by foot. There are a few shops just around the corner for bread, vegetables, meat etc. Approximately 1 km. away is the 'main street' of Voorburg with boutiques, some restaurants, a super market etc. The place is very well connected to public transportation with bus and tram stops within 10 mins. walking distance. We have traded our car before, but if you want you can really go everywhere by public transportation.

I am mother of an active, young family of 6 that is always busy enjoying live. My husband Thom and I both combine parenthood with a job. Time is scarce and we try to spend most of our weekends and holidays together. That includes making all sorts of smaller trips to nearby beaches, parks, and playgrounds (all can be reached by bike, we have bikes in most sizes available). The cities of Leiden, the Hague, Delft and Rotterdam are close and can be visited by bike or public transportation (we are close to two major hubs). Amsterdam takes about 50 minutes by train. When we are at home, we like to play games which is obvious looking at the enormous amount of games we have gathered over the years. Also, I like to read (ask me about contemporary dutch literature if you'd like to prepare before you visit the Netherlands) and love knitting and sewing (especially for the kids). We have had some positive home exchange experiences allready and I have been an active member in the couchsurfing community. I have met the most lovely people that way and look forward to share my family house with other families. We are open to trades everywhere, obviously we prefer houses with lots of toys and space to play for our kids. Feel free to try, we are curious about lots of places :-)Ofcourse we will take care of your house like it's our own!
