We live in Brussels, the Capital of Europe, known for the famous Atomium and for the European Union quarters. Belgium is also known for its typical food (wafels, mossels, frites, and beer). We are located at 3 metro stops from the city centre (or 20-30 min normal walk). Brussels is a very dynamic city, full of all kind of nice restaurants, discotheques, museums, cinemas, lounge bars, and all what an important city offers as public transportation (metro, plenty train stations, buses, ...) but also many many parks and 2 forests. Brussels is called 'Capital of Europe' because we are at only 1h30 train distance from Paris, 1h50 from Amsterdam and London. The nearest train station (North station) is at 3 metro stops from our house, the main international station (Gare du Midi) is at less than 1 km from there, while the international airport (Zaventem) is at 10-12 km and costs about 30 euro. Airport is also connected to Brussels via the special airport-city train (15 min, 12 euro) every 15 min and via special shuttles (same time same price). Something about ourselves

Hi, I am a mother of 2 lovely children (24y and 16y). I was an air hostess in the past and used to travel a lot. I also lived in several countries (Italy, UK, Morocco, Spain) while Belgium was my home country for more than 40y. This is a first experience in home exchange; I am very curious to see how it evolves and see the nice opportunities to visit places and get to know the home owners --and maybe start good friendship around the world. My children study Economics and Foreign Languages (interpretor/translator). I have myself studied languages and can speak French, Italian, English, Spanish, Dutch, some Arabic and some German. We are very open-minded, easy going and enjoy life. We plan to visit Brasil in November 2011(2 weeks); after analyzing the diverse hotels options, pousadas, etc ...I have not been convinced by what I found. A friend of mine suggested to consider the home exchange options --and here am I... We guarantee that we take absolute good care of your place. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have an opportunity in Brazil for November! Other places for other dates are very welcome. Thank you,
