I'm a retired business communications consultant and instructor, immersed in creative writing and learning to play bridge -- exercise for both sides of my brain! I love longer exchanges where I can be a tourist part of the time and use the rest as a writer's retreat. Occasionally, a friend or my sister will join me for the tourist segment of my stay. I've enjoyed stays in France, Spain, the USA and Australia. Looking forward to visiting more countries in the future.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Davie Village in the West End of Vancouver is an eclectic collection of restaurants, coffee shops, beaches, bike lanes, and of course, Vancouver's famous seawall, which circumnavigates the city core. Granville island, an artists' paradise, is across False Creek and easily navigated by ferry boat. The entertainment district is 10 minutes away and major shopping 15 minutes.
