Looking back on about 25 years as a member of Homelink and 20+ Amazing Home Exchanges later, plus the many lifelong friends we've made along the way, Sherry and I Both feel that we won the Lottery when we joined Homelink.
Back then we were just 2 working people with 2 young boys and we Loved to Travel whenever we could afford it. Unfortunately, the cost of Accommodation and Transportation were prohibitive - until Homelink eliminated BOTH - which has enabled us to Travel more Often and Stay Longer. Over the years, we've found that when we stay in a Hotel/Motel, we meet people who are on the move and one of the things we Love about a Home Exchange is that you Become Part of a "Neighbourhood."
In addition to the huge Financial Advantages, a Successful Home Exchange provides lifelong Memories, Experiences and Opportunities for Everyone involved. A recent Exchangee from NZ told us that their 6 week Home Exchange with us had saved them $12,000 on their Canadian Ski Holiday.

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Sherry and I have raised our Family and have lived in our current home for the the past 41 years.
We live in a quiet residential neighbourhood in the Village of Fruitvale, which has a population of about 2000 people.
Our home is situated on a very private acre overlooking Beaver Creek.
We Absolutely love our Location and are very fortunate to be able to enjoy the wide variety of birds and wildlife that visit our property.
Depending on the time of year, our visitors include Deer, Bear, Raccoons and even the occasional Skunk.
We have wonderful Neighbours who sometimes get to know our Exchangees better than we do!
The Kootenay area of British Columbia is renowned for it's Outstanding Scenery and the Exceptional Variety and Quality of Outdoor Recreation Activities...............So - Rather than just "Read" about it - it's Much More Fun to Come and "Discover" it for Yourself!

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
This is Absolutely the best kept "Ski Secret in Canada" - away from the crowds of Whistler, Europe and the USA at a fraction of the cost. We are less than an hour away from BOTH Red Mountain and Whitewater Ski Resorts - 2 World Class Ski Destinations.
Sherry and I are in our early 70's and are both retired. We Skied at Red Mountain and Whitewater - for 25 years with our 3 sons until New Knees, a New Hip, and Too Many Birthdays curtailed our Skiing, which is why we look forward to Exchanging our Snow for Your Sunshine!
We have also skied throughout the BC Interior including Big White, Silver Star, Apex as well as the coastal Mountains in the Vancouver area and Whistler. We feel that we enjoy the Best of all Worlds right here in our own backyard.
We will gladly consider ALL Exchange Opportunities but we Love to spend our Summers at home sharing BBQ's with our Neighbours and enjoying the Birds and Wildlife that visit.
We look forward to hearing from you , and will gladly provide references.
