Flat in Hasselt, Belgium
My 103 m² brandnew apartment, situated on the second floor (with lift) in the very city centre offers a fully equipped kitchen in a sun filled livingroom, a laundry (with washing machine), 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and 2 bikes in the underground garage.
Hasselt, the capital of the Limburg province, offers nice shopping, outdoor and indoor swimming, 4 museums, a megascope, a theatre, a Japanese garden and lots of restaurants. Nearby is the natural park Midden Limburg, a recreation area with an open air museum on rural architecture. Huge efforts are made to create a bikers paradise (over 1.000 kms of separate bike paths). Sint-Truiden, Diest, Tongeren, Liège, Maastricht and Aachen are also very near. Leuven, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges are within easy day access. Hasselt is even a good base to explore Holland, Western Germany and Luxemburg. Seniors over 65, also from abroad, can travel by train all over the country with a return ticket which only costs 7 euro per day.
The nearest airports are Brussels National Airport, Brussels South (Charleroi), Maastricht and Eindhoven.
Through two home exchange organizations I have been exchanging home since 1981 with over 115 families in very different countries all over Europe and in the USA and in Canada. In the Intervac blog you can read an extended interview titled "Belgian family reaches the magic number of 100 exchanges" or you can also google this title.

IT52576I compagni di Jos, mio host e mio guest, sono stati molto amichevoli e disponibili. In Belgio, ad Hasselt, ho trovato una grande casa molto ben posizionata rispetto alle attività commerciali e rispetto alla stazione ferroviaria. I treni, in Belgio, sono puntualissimi ed il costo del biglietto per chi ha più di 65 anni è davvero irrisorio. Per cui abbiamo utilizzato pochissimo l'automobile che Jos ci ha messo a disposizione. Abbiamo visitato diverse città oltre Bruxelles: Lovanio, Anversa, Brugge, ecc..
Questa è la mia prima esperienza di scambio casa e automobile ma sono rimasto favorevolmente impressionato e continuerò con questa forma di vacanza.
