The Great European Adventure
In and around Europe
We are relocating to the Netherlands for two years with plans to visit as much of europe as possible. We will be based in southern Netherlands near the Belgium border. We will be traveling some with our two labradors (Draco & Zeke), but for the longer trips we will find a dog sitter.
