About Our Family
We are a family of 4. I'm Lamia. I'm a nurse, but since several years I'm working for the city of Ghent as a servant for Mobility of Ghent . My husband, Bert, is an independent gardener and tree manager. We have two girls, Cien born in 2006 and Flore born in 2009.
We also have some pets.
Since the summer of 2023 we welcome our 2 cats Loulou and Gizmo. They are brother and sisiter. They both are very lovely. The black one, Loulou, is the girl. She is very enthusiastic and love to be cuddle. The red collered cat, Gizmo is shy, but one he trust you, he also love to be cuddled!
You find our turtles, Fakroen and Testu, in the garden during the summer and during the winter, we put them in a box in our basement so they can do there winter sleep.
There is also our hamster Kiwi. She lives in her cage in the bedroom of our dreamer Flore.
We are a family that likes traveling. We like to do home exchanges. It's a very easy way to travel and we like the fact that we can go to places who are not exactly for tourists.
Nous sommes une famille de 4 personnes. Moi je suis Lamia. Je suis une infermière, mais depuis quelques années je travaille comme employés pour la ville de Gand. Mon mari, Bert, fait l’entretien des jardin. Nous avons deux filles, Cien née en 2006 et Flore née en 2009.
Nous avons 2 chats, Loulou et Gizmo. Ils sont frère et soeur. Le noir, Loulou, est une fille, le roux, Gizmo un garçon. Loulou est très vivante et elle aime beaucoup les callins. Gizmo est plus réserver, mais une fois que vous avez gagner sa confiance, il viendra aussie demander les callins.
Nous avons 2 tortues. En été ils vivent dehors dans le jardin et en hiver ils font leur sommeil hibernal dans la cave. Il y a aussi notre hamster Kiwi. Elle vit dans sa cage dans la chambre de notre fille Flore.
Nous sommes une famille qui aime voyager. Nous aimons très la formule des échanges. C'est une formule facile pour voyager et nous aimons le fait de ne pas loger dans des endroit touristique.

Nearby you find beaches and towns to visit. We are thankful for the good and warm communication and flexibilty by Eva's family.

DE1014179Wo wird man schon von einem kleinen niedlichen Hamster empfangen!? :-) Schade, dass die beiden Schildkröten im Keller sich gerade noch in Winterruhe befanden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in Eurem gemütlichen Haus, das hübsch eingerichtet ist und sehr hell ist und wohnlich. Die günstige Lage, die zentrale Anbindung, die gute Kommunikation im Vorfeld,... es war einfach alles perfekt. Ihr seid spitze - wir empfehlen Euch gerne weiter.
