Hoi! Leuk dat je op deze pagina komt kijken. Tijdens onze wereldreis waren we continu op zoek naar hosts en deze pagina gebruikten we om ons voor te stellen.
Momenteel zijn we in Nederland om hard te werken zodat we straks weer op pad kunnen. We staan altijd open voor host adressen. Dus woon je op een mooie plek en vind je het leuk om ons een paar dagent e hosten in ruil voor een fotoshoot? Lees dan vooral verder!
Je vindt hier een kleine introductie over ons, wat je kan verwachten testimonials van mensen waar we bij verbleven hebben.
Wie zijn wij?
Wij zijn Marry (40), Denny (48) en Liv (4) uit Nederland. In 2018-2019 hebben we een jaar over de wereldreis gereisd waarbij we zoveel mogelijk bij lokale families hebben verbleven in Amerika, Canada, Nieuw Zeeland, Singapore en Maleisië.
Waarom?
Omdat we het ontzettend leuk vinden om nieuwe mensen te leren kennen, hun verhaal te horen and om te zien hoe ze wonen. Voor Liv is het ook een leuke manier om met andere kinderen in contact te komen (als die er zijn). Het verblijven bij lokale families is de hightlight van onze reis geweest.
Wat kan je verwachten
We zijn “easy going” en passen ons makkelijk aan. We zullen zelf boodschappen meenemen en als het kan dan koken we graag eens voor jullie. Het enige wat we nodig hebben is een tweepersoonsbed, of 2 1 persoonsbedden waar we met z’n drieën kunnen slapen. Voor Liv hebben we niets extra’s nodig. In ruil voor ons verblijf, behalve een hoop gezelligheid 😉 krijg je een fotoshoot ter waarde van € 290,- .
Hieronder volgen 2 fimpjes die we gemaakt hebben onderweg en daaronder vind je de testimonials.

Marry, Denny and Liv were a joy to have visit! We learned a lot about each other. They are very laidback and kind. They were so sweet to my children, and we really enjoyed the dinner they prepared for us. This was a great experience we would repeat again if they came back to Kansas!
They just left and we already miss them! We enjoyed chatting with Marry and Denny in the evenings. Little Liv is so sweet, my kids had a lot of fun playing with her. Marry is a great photographer and I will cherish our photos forever. Such a great experience.
We loved hosting Marry, Denny, and Liv. Hearing about their adventures as they drove across the US was inspiring. I wish we could have spent more time with them. Expand your horizons and learn more about the US and the Netherlands, host them in your home.
That was a very pleasant surprise. Denny, Marry and Liv stayed with us 2 weeks ago for a weekend. we did not know them before. Usually we hesitate inviting people into our home that we do not know. But Rob and I thought , lets just do it and see what happens. we had a blast,…..what a fun people. there was so much we have in common. So much to tell, so many fun stories. I could recommend people to try it out. they are fun,…and easy to host. And Liv??? she is just such a sweet girl……Anytime you 3, whenever you are in the neighbourhood,…..you have a place to stay.
We hosted this beautiful family, Marry, Denny and Liv for 3 nights mid June. We had no idea what to expect but they were so easy going, nice to talk to and even cooked us a great meal.
Marry took pictures of my 4 children and a Family picture and they are just sooo beautiful. She is a great photographer! So if you are hesitating or not sure if you should host or not? I would just say you would be the lucky ones to have them as guests.
Marry, Denny and Liv, Thanks again for the great weekend and we wish you safe travels and who knows when we’ll catch up again ?
When I saw the video of Marry, Denny and Liv with their plans to travel the world and that they were looking for hosts I immediately responded and offered them a stay at our house.
It became a great decision! Marry, Denny and Liv are great loving people, they are very easy going and we had great chats. We learned a lot from one another.
And even though we had no children at home for Liv to play with, Liv is very well able to occupy herself. She is such a sweetheart!!!
I would invite them again in a heartbeat!
We had the amazing pleasure of hosting Marry, Denny, and Liv. When you think about being a host family you think you are the one giving the gift because you are opening your home to someone, but the truth is, it was a gift to get to know Marry, Denny, and Liv. They are a beautiful family that genuinely take an interest in the folks they meet along the way. Our children said, “They arrived as strangers and left as friends!” It was a fantastic experience having them stay with us. Marry did a wonderful photo shoot with our family. They felt like part of the family and we even caught them doing dishes. If you are fortunate enough to host them you will be the one feeling like you received a gift.
I saw Marry & Denny’s post on Facebook and thought “that looks like fun!” They were so easy going and fun to chat with and my girls enjoyed having Liv to play with too! I would have them again in a heartbeat and look forward to visiting them in the Netherlands!
Marry, Denny and Liv were a pleasure to host! They are so kind, easy-going, and interesting to talk to. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them over the couple of nights they spent with us. It was a wonderful experience all around!
We hosted Marry, Denny and Liv when they came to Victoria, BC. It was our first time hosting people unknown to us and we didn’t know what to expect. They stayed for 3 nights and the experience was a delight. They are nice, easy to talk to and super interesting. They were respectful of the space, cooked a delicious dinner for us with groceries they purchased and took the most stunning photos of our family. They also offered up some great travel advice for our trip to Europe next year. Liv even took our daughter to school and sat in her desk.
Hoping that we can catch you in the Netherlands if we make it that way next summer. Thanks so much for everything!?

In August we hosted Denny, Marry & 3 year old Liv for a few days while they were touring Canada. A Dutch friend in Ontario told me about those people, because she also was planning on hosting them. We usually don’t invite ‘strangers’, so I researched this website and soon it felt like we already knew them. My instinct told me that if you allow someone to capture the privacy of welcoming a new child into your family, she must be a nice lady :). I started to chat with Marry and by the time they first came to our house they weren’t strangers anymore :). Together with our 3 year old granddaughter (who was staying with us when her family was moving) we were looking forward to have Liv and her family here. From the first second we met them it felt comfortable to have them in our house, they are so easy going! Liv and our granddaughter were best friends right away! Because of the smoke in the Rocky Mountain area they visited us again a few weeks later. We loved listening to their stories, spending time together, the meals they cooked for us and the pictures Marry took of our grandkids! If you get a chance to host this family, you won’t regret it! Come back any time Denny, Marry & Liv <3
Just after the summer holidays, I saw a post on Facebook in which Marry was looking for a place to stay in (near) Paris. We loved the idea so immediately responded that they were welcome. We had regular contact in the weeks before their stay. We found out that we have a lot in common which iss really nice and we looked forward to meeting them! When they arrived at our place, it felt like having friends over. Our children also really enjoyed having them (and especially Liv) stay with us. The day of arrival, Marry immediately did a photo shoot. Didn’t have to but it was very nice. We are very happy with the beautiful pictures! In the evening they even cooked a delicious meal for us! Unlike other guests, they also had all food and drinks with them for the entire stay. We really enjoyed having them as guests. Marry, Denny and Liv, our door is always open for you (in Paris, Brussels or where ever).
