jan and renate have travelled for many years, either through work or because of our taste for adventure and discovery. wherever we went we preferred to stay in Bed and Breakfasts instead of hotels. it was in these special places, the homes away from home, that we discovered the pleasure of meeting fellow travelers over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. we fell in love with this special opportunity of exchanging ideas, sharing experiences and learning a bit more about the multitude of interesting people who allow us to wander the world for a moment in their company.
