Travellers from The Netherlands in our own Dutch RV
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
Since 2016 Johan and Loes travelled every winter for 4-5 months true Canada and USA with their own Dutch RV 24 ft. In 2016 we shipped it from Belgium to Halifax, Canada, and travelled from the eastcoast and Florida to Las Vegas. We storaged the RV there and flew back to Holland.
In october 2017 we came back till february 2018 for make an other trip at de westcoast for 4,5 months. In october 2018 we came back again for an other 4,5 month. We started in San Francisco and went also to Baya California and then up to the Atlanta-area before we fly back to Holland from that place.
This time, in 2019, we come over again and started in Cartersville near Atlanta. We want to drive up to Oregon in 2 months and leave the RV there because we wanted to go to Alaska in summer 2020. In december we run out for the winter and fly to Costa Rica for backpacking there and in Nigaracua.
We are married and 50+, our 2 kids 26 en 24 years old, they stayed at their own place. We love to meet other people from other countries to tell more about our journey and living in Holland and to hear the stories of the hosts. Johan stopped working in June 2016 (now he have some volunteer jobs and is ambulance-driver for repat patients all over Europe to Holland) and Loes stopped working 2 years before. So we have a lot of time to do other nice things in live and like to travel.

Unfortunately we were out town when this couple from the Netherlands boondocked at our place. They left a thoughtful gift from their country, waiting for us when we arrived home. We would love for them to stop again if passing through St Augustine.

Easy Living
It was a pleasure to host Johan and Loes, they were easy to be around and great boondockers. They have a really nice rig and are completely independent. Would have them back again.

Wonderful New Friends
We had the pleasure of hosting Johan and Loes (pronounced YoHon and her name is pronounced like Lose). They are an amazing couple from the Netherlands that are enjoying the USA in their Hymer motor-home. They do this for about 4-5 months in the fall/winter and started doing this several years ago. We had the pleasure of them joining us for dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants. Very diverse knowledge base and were a pleasure to sit and visit with. We hope that our paths will cross again on their future travels!

A Lovely Couple.
Johan and Loes are the perfect guests. They are incredible, self sufficient and have a great appreciation for travel and culture. Our brief visit was very nice and sprinkled with the Dutch language. Hopefully, we will meet again during future travels. Happy Trails!

Wonderful couple!
Don’t miss out on any opportunity you have to meet Johan & Loes! They were so much fun to talk to and get to know. They went to church with us and afterward we all had lunch together along with some of our friends, who all fell in love with them as well. One night and day was not enough- please stay longer next time!
Safe Travels,

New friends from the Netherlands
These are the very kind of people who make us happy we are Boondockers. Johan and Leos were perfect guests. We enjoyed learning about their country and hearing about their trip in the US. We have new friends!

Good times with new friends!
Johan and Loes are delightful... very considerate and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we had together. What great adventurers! They are from the Netherlands and are traveling in their lovely little Hymer RV. They will leave the RV in the States when they go home for the summer and will be back next Fall. Be sure to ask for a tour of their RV.
We had plans the evening they arrived. My first impression was a good one. I know it's not always easy but they arrived early enough in the day that we didn't have to worry about them being settled before leaving for the evening. On the other hand they are very self sufficient and would have been fine if we had not been around.
J&L... Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you again next year when you head south again!! or possibly in Europe. :) If it is on a weekend we can go to church again. :) Tailwinds, J&M

Wonderful people, experienced travelers
Johan and Loes were so nice. They stayed two nights. They know how to maneuver their RV very well (an awesome dutch model--thanks for the tour), are self-sufficient and very nice. They were extremely quiet. They are well-mannered and professional in their communication. I am glad I could host you. You are welcome back anytime! My dog loved Loes so much.

Best guests!
We have hosted many wonderful Boondockers and I can say without a doubt that Johan and Loes are my favorites. Great conversations and very comfortable to spend time with. Loved having them share some family time with us (soccer game). Definitely looking forward to seeing them again in the future. They are welcome here anytime!

Nice quiet and friendly couple
We didn't get too much time to visit while they were visiting due to their short stay and my busy schedule at that time, but I very much enjoyed their company. I look forward to seeing them again if they ever get back to Tucson. Safe travels, my friends.

Johan and Loes reference
Johan and Loes were excellent guests to have as boondockers. We have been to the Netherlands three times so it very enjoyable to talk to them and share a glass of wine and soft drink. They are very good people to have and were certainly respectful of our property. We look forward to having them stay again.

Fun visit.
It was a good time spending 2 nights with Johan and Loes. We had a lot of informative conversations and learned about Holland. Enjoyable couple, you wouldn't be disappointed in having them as a guest.

These folks visited us for 5 days due their coach being repaired. Had a great time, learned much about the Netherlands! Great sense of humor and tolerated my strangeness well! Had dinner together several times and hope they come back some time....

Lovely couple
Lovely couple who are quite congenial and pleasant to have as Boondockers. They are very easy to talk with; we enjoyed conversation and dessert with them. They were very quiet (we hardly knew they were there!) and were respectful of our property. They are most welcome any time they wish to return.

They only stayed one night but I really enjoyed talking with these guests. We have been several of the same places and will be in the next few months. They speak very good English and I enjoyed listening to their accents. Nice people!
