Became a member in: 2017
Renewal Date: 31/Jul/2018
We are a British family living in Canada. We moved here 3 years ago (the two of us) and have quite recently welcomed our newest addition to the family, Alfred, our 3 month old son.
My husband Joe works in the Sports and lifestyle industry in innovation and has done for the last 10 years (this was the main reason for our relocation). I, myself have worked in events for a number of years but am now on maternity until October 2017.
We both have a huge passion for travel, culture, history and LOVE to get outdoors! Main activities in the Winter are skiing, snowboarding, hiking, snowshoeing, taking the dog for a walk to the local beach. In the Summer we like to travel to the Islands, hike the local mountains, camp by the lakes in Whistler, up on the Sunshine Coast or in the Okanagan Wine country and on a quiet night head to the local breweries or hit the drive for a pizza and beer!
We absolutely love the area we live in and would love to share this with others!
Being from Europe we have also enjoyed many city trips to Paris,, Venice, Verona, Barcelona, Florence and travelled in a camper van throughout France.
