Our house is built in 1909 but it has recently been renovated which transformed it into a house with a modern but warm touch and loads of sunlight . We live only 500 meters from one of Bruges' entrance gates which brings you within a 10 minutes walk to the centre. Bruges really is a fairytale town. It's so nice to walk along the canals or bike across the picturesque bridges. (please check www.brugge.be for more information and pictures). No big distances in Bruges or less interesting areas to cross. 
There's not only Bruges but we're really close to the coast (15-20 minutes by car).
Also there are other nice towns/cities nearby like Ghent (35 min), Brussels (1 h), Antwerp (1,2 h), Ypres (40 min.), Damme (10 min.).
And outside Belgium, there's gorgeous Amsterdam (3 h) and of course, the Queen of Beauty, Paris (3h20 min)!
All time schedules above are by car. But public transport is very easy and wellspread in Belgium.
For example, Paris is reachable by highspeed train: Brussels-Paris is only 1h22min!

We had four wonderful home exchanges: July 2013 in Spain (Cataluna), August 2013 in France (Brittany) and February 2014 in Venice (Italy), August 2014 in Piemonte (Italy).

There's three of us living in the house. My name is Beatrijs, 38 years old. I'm a music teacher and guitar player (for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3LnfU_MwBs, recorded in my livingroom). My daughter Yumi is 15 and my son Tycho is 13. My partner, Philippe, is a musician of historical and ethnic string instruments. Philippe and I don't live together but we do travel together the two of us and sometimes it's just me and my children.

We would do all we can to please your wishes.
And we will take good care of your home and stuff and treat it even better than we would do with our own stuff.

We have a rabbit which lives freely in the yard but needs food and water.
And also a few plants should get some water.

Well, let's help each other to explore the world.
Best wishes,
Beatrijs
