Deinze, Belgium

Hi, we're Dirk (66y) and Jenny (63y), we both worked in the electronics industry but are now retired recently.
We already made 40 succesful exchanges in the past years (1995-2007 and 2014-2024) and are open for any nice proposal to exchange homes (long WE, 1 Week, 2 Weeks).

We live in a large modern villa with all comfort and a nice garden of 1200m2 that is located in the East-Flanders/Lys region.
Our house has 3 double bedrooms and a single bedroom, so place for 7 persons.
WiFi is free, and we have a Chromecast connected at our TV.
We can also exchange our car Opel Zafira Tourer and have 4 nice bikes (2 normal bikes + 2 electric ones).
You can smoke outside our house but not inside.
In our region there are many hiking/biking and boating possibilities.

First of all have a look at this very nice website about what you can see in the Belgium-Flanders region :
