We are a family of five. But our oldest sons are about to leave the house and aren't travelling with us everytime. We were living in Amsterdam first but moved to the more quiet and more relaxed Haarlem. We love to travel and have seen almost every country in the Americas, north and south. We also lived in Carribean for 3 years. Saw a lot of South-America in that period. Thats why we speak English and quite some Spanish too. Did a lot of exchanges mostly Europe but also Canada and the US. Send us a message if you have something nice to offer. We will always try to respond ASAP! love Jeroen and Maaike
