Since a few years I am working with different social media such as
facebook, twitter, blogging,...
Sometimes I'm more active than other times, but at the moment, I'm really bitten by the virus.
Because I was working on the website for La Casa Blanca, I was automatically more online. And what do you do when you need a break ? Right, you log in to facebook or twitter.
I must honestly say that at the moment it 's a real addiction. Since
the arrival of IPad and IPhone, the sky is the limit : constantly online! Fun, but also tiring
sometimes!
I must say that due to social media, I have made some really good friends and great business contacts.
For me it's important that there is still a good mix, between real social life and social media. This way you get the best of both worlds and become a little richer (throug the friendships you built)

A home abroad
A home abroad, and more specific, in Spain is not so simple. It takes a lot of administration.
There must be a certificate of this and then again from that, something must be inspected, a paper of the municipality is still needed, ... Every day there is something else.
The problem is that we have a short-term sale (on demand of the seller). Our time to buy is limited, we only have 2 months.
And that's not obvious, certainly not in a country like Spain, where everything "manana" is. We hit the wall so often. After a while you just want to give up and call it quits. We get the strength to carry on because it's our dream.
We run around like "chickens without heads" trying to retain the overview. Between all the hassle I'm working on the website, do the marketing,... . So you understand that it's very busy at "La Casa Blanca".
The beauty of this experience is that we get the chance to make our dream come true. This is a real family project.
La Casa Blanca is a B&B where warmth, friendship and affection are the central theme. We want to ensure that people feel at home.

Why emigrate ?
Many people ask us why we emigrate to Spain. That is not an easy question to answer.
There are many reasons for us to take this step in our lives.
For me it's a positive choice after a long negative period which I would like to leave behind me.
Some years ago I lost my husband after a long struggle. I stayed behind at that time as a young widow with 2 small children of 6 and 9 years old. My world collapsed.
Fortunately I got a lot of help from my friends who helped me through this difficult period. My new friend has taught me to enjoy every day that is given to us. Together with him and my children we start a new life in Spain.
We want to enjoy life and share our home with people. Our aim is to provide our guests a fantastic vacation and together with them unwind in these hectic society.
Emigration is a positive choice for a new life with our family. Our vision on society in Belgium is of that nature that we deliberately opt for a slower pace of life, enjoy each other more, the country, the weather, our guests, ... and especially we want to share our joy of life with our fellow human beings.
