We are blissfully retired and avid exchangers and cruisers, two loves which we often combine. To date,we have enjoyed 36 exchanges, mostly in Europe and Australia/New Zealand, but several within our own province. All have been unique and wonderful in their own way. Through these exchanges we have developed friendships and remained in touch with people all over the world-a side benefit to a great way of travelling the world!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our condo is in a waterfront building on an inlet called False Creek in downtown Vancouver. There is easy access to all of the attractions on the waterfront, such as Granville Island, Science World and the Maritime Museum by the small False Creek and Aquabus ferries. It is walking distance to all that Vancouver has to offer-great dining, shopping, sports and entertainment of all kinds. Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains are about two hours away and the local ski hills and attractions at Grouse, Seymour and Cypress Mountains are within half an hour. Several local parks as well as Stanley Park are nearby. A car is not necessary as our transportation system is excellent.
