Michael has recently retired, Dorothy is working part time. We enjoy being active, particularly cycling and swimming, and exploring new places. We have been impressed with the many generous and interesting people we have met through Homelink.

It was great for Mike to meet us from the ferry from Vancouver. Dorothy and Mike gave us a lovely evening meal outside and a tour of the area both on foot and in the car. Their fabulous home is located in easy walking distance from the city centre. We loved the use of their bikes too.

Great spot, beautiful comfortable home, close to town, easy access to public transport. Many things to do in Victoria but highlight are the Royal BC Museum, BC Parliament Buildings, and Butchart Gardens which are spectacular. There is plenty more to do but we ran out of time. Michael and Dorothy are very helpful warm hosts.
