Joris (42) is a medical engineer, working as the manager of a R&D department in the University Medical Center (UMC) in Utrecht. Ruth(40) is a midwive and paediatric nurse.
We have three children; Mette 11 years, Tijmen 9 years and Bregje 6 years old. We also have a cat, Siep, who likes to stay at home.
We love good food and cooking, baking cakes and invite people to parties.
We love to travel and go at least 4 times a year away, skiing, city-breaks or go to my mother in Portugal.
We have exchanged homes for the first time, summer 2012 with a family in Denmark and that was a fantastic experience, so we hope to exchange more often in the future.
