Open for exchange

Exchange dates	Duration
Flexible dates July 05, 2025 - August 31, 2025	3 weeks
For the summer of 2025, we are looking for an exchange of 2-3 weeks between July 5th and August 31st.. For other periods of the year, we are open for exchanges within a distance of max. 300 km from our home. For example, a week or an extended weekend.

spacious and very colourful house in Tubbergen, Netherlands

Are you looking for the excitement and the hustle and bustle of city life? Sorry, then this offer is not for you. On the other hand, if you are interested in staying in a (generally) quiet and peaceful provincial town in the Eastern part of the Netherlands, very close to the German border, surrounded by nature, suitable for hiking and making bike tours, keep on reading!

We live in a spacious and very colourful house. Our house is non-smoking and we intend to keep it like that. Downstairs we have a living room, a practical kitchen, a bathroom with jacuzzi, a terrace with parasol. Upstairs we have a master bedroom, a second bedroom with double bed, a guest room with single bed + a child's bed, a bathroom with shower.

We have a child-friendly home, taking into account that we have 9 grandchildren, varying in age between 4 and 18 years. Apart from toys, we also have children's plates, children's cutlery.

For the rest of the year, we are interested in shorter exchanges, for example an (extended) weekend.
Besides, we would very much like to exchange for shorter vacation periods or any weekend (date to be discussed) with someone in the Netherlands, Germany or Belgium.

Voor kortere vakantieperiodes of tijdens weekends (data in nader overleg) zouden wij graag willen ruilen met iemand in Nederland, Duitsland of België.

Übrigens würden wir uns freuen über einen Tausch mit jemandem in den Niederlanden, Deutschland oder Belgien während der kürzeren Ferienperioden oder an noch näher zu erörternden Wochenenden.

During our vacations, we mainly enjoy being outdoors. We prefer staying in a rural area with opportunities to enjoy nature over being in crowded cities. Photography, contemporary and local art, local folk music, observing nature, birds, animals, insects, cycling and hiking are our main interests.
