Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Welcome to Vancouver Island! Our spacious home rests on .5 acre on the beautiful Saanich peninsula in a quiet residential neighbourhood next-door to Dominion Brook Park. Bus service is 2 blocks away as is the local recreation centre that has 2 ice rinks, a pool and a weight room. The airport is 5 min. away, the ferry terminal to the gulf islands and Vancouver is 10 min away. You can walk to downtown Sidney (population 11,583)which will take you about 30 min. or it's 5 min away by car. The capital of our province, Victoria (population 345,000), is 25 min away. Our home overlooks the Gulf Islands and the Salish Sea and we are a short distance from the world famous Butchart Gardens. Come stay in our home and explore all that our large island (population 760,000; 32,130 km squared) has to offer.
We would like to exchange with someone in the Caribbean, on the coast of Portugal or in the south of Spain on or near the ocean. We will consider simultaneous or non-simultaneous exchanges.
