Became a member in: 2018
Renewal Date: 31/May/2026
I am an independent management consultant working in the healthcare, education, government and not for profit sectors in Canada. Originally from Ireland I moved from London to make my home in Vancouver 25 years ago and love it! I travel back to the UK and Ireland quite a lot (although obviously not in the last couple of years!) to visit family and friends and plan to do a lot more international travelling as I cut back my work and head towards retirement:) I enjoy spending time with friends and family, walking, art, music and learning new things. Although I have been a member of Homelink for a number of years, this is the first time I have been active on a home swap site and am really looking forward to the experience!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The neighbourhood is quiet, leafy and conveniently situated for public transport and outdoor activities. There is a wonderful french bakery/cafe www.batardbakery.com 5 minutes walk from my house on Fraser Street, as well as many cafes, restaurants and amenities including the famous East Vancouver ice cream shop www.earnesticecream.com. Save on Foods supermarket and Famous Foods, lovely organic foods are within walking distance or a short drive away. The area is very well served by local transit. The No.25 bus (at the bottom of my garden on King Edward) takes you to Main Street, a very popular lively area of East Van with lots of shops, pubs and restaurants. www.locusonmain.com is a favourite of mine. The No.25 can drop you off at the King Edward Skytrain ( 10 minutes bus ride) and you are in Vancouver City Centre in 15 minutes. Alternatively the No 8 bus on Fraser and 24th will take you directly downtown. Van Dusen Gardens and Queen Elizabeth Parks are well worth visiting.
