I moved to Twente at the end of 2019 with my wife and 2 kids (7 and 9). Coming from the crowded surrounding of The Hague we took this step to find a more relaxed pace, being surrounded by nature instead of people running around. I love to empty my head after a busy day working on our new house, maintaining the garden, or play with my kids.
