Neighbourhood

We live in Castricum, a friendly and relaxed town in North Holland with the perfect balance between nature, beach and easy access to famous Dutch cities and sights. From our home you can reach the most iconic places in the Netherlands very easily:
	•	Amsterdam Central – 30 minutes by direct train
	•	Zaanse Schans (windmills) – 15 minutes by train
	•	Alkmaar (traditional cheese market) – 10 minutes by train
	•	Haarlem – 30 minutes by train

Castricum itself is only 4 km from the beach and surrounded by beautiful dunes, forests and nature reserves, ideal for walking, cycling, mountainbiking, running, surfing or kite surfing. It’s loved by people who enjoy being outdoors, with endless routes through nature and fresh sea air.

At the same time, this is a wonderful base for culture and city life. Nearby Amsterdam, Haarlem and Alkmaar are full of museums, historic canals, architecture, cosy neighbourhoods, music, theatre and festivals. You can easily visit highlights such as the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House, Haarlem’s charming old centre and the famous Alkmaar cheese market.

Castricum has a warm, welcoming village feel with nice cafés, restaurants, bakeries, shops and local markets. In spring the surrounding flower fields are beautiful, summer is perfect for the beach, and in every season the dunes and forests are wonderful to explore.

It’s a great place if you want the best of both worlds: busy days full of adventure and culture, followed by peace, space and nature when you come “home”.

We are a warm and open-minded family of four, I'm a single mum with three kids aged 10, 12 and 14. We love sunshine, the sea,  the mountains, and enjoy being outdoors. 

For us, travelling is about discovering, enjoying and creating meaningful memories. I value nurturing my children’s curiosity about the world and showing them the importance of kindness and hospitality. Now that they are getting older and not with me all the time, travelling together feels especially special.

We are new here and excited to start exchanging. We treat other people’s homes with care and respect and value open, friendly communication. Our kids are used to travelling and are respectful of other people’s belongings. At home, we share our space with two cats, who are very much part of our daily life.
