Our Neighbourhood
Nearest Airport: Eindhoven - 1 hour by public transport
Our 'project' of 24 families is opposite a primary school, near the station, in a colourful, divers neighbourhood.
There will be kids playing (and sometimes yelling) every now and then, both from the school and from our neighbours.
We live in the city, but it often feels like a village.
There are plenty of opportunities to visit the city center, but also to go out into nature.
The city is known for it's rich history and culture. Jeroen Bosch is the famous 15th century painter. Many old buildings are well preserved with the cathedral in the center; Noord-Brabants museum & the Design museum are worthwhile visiting, a good shoppingcenter, the markets on wednesday and saturday and a big variety of restaurants and cafes.

About Our Family
I live on my own, the house is small, but big enough for two people sharing the different spaces.
Flexible in many respects, it is possible to exchange beyond holiday periods; this is depending on my dynamic working schedule. Being one of the initiators establishing this beautiful green oasis in the middle of the city I can tell a lot about this realised dream related to my way of living.
Lifestyle
She (64) is an independent artist, having a daughter living on her own in another town.
