  • Couchsurfing

    Kees Keizer stayed at our place for the night. He was cycling through our city to Brugge, Gent and Antwerp. He is a wonderful couchsurfer and has fantastic photos on his travellersblog. It is a nice coincidence that he is an old classmate of Rob Thomson, whose blog I like for so long now .…

    “Fietsberaad” is a Dutch initiative.

  • “Coasting”
