Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Large 3 bedroom house in Ocean Park/Crescent Beach/White Rock area (Greater Vancouver), 10 mins drive to White Rock or Crescent Beach, 60 min drive to downtown Vancouver or the mountains, 35 mins to Airport. The USA Border is only 10 mins. Walking distance to local beach, local shops, library, supermarket, vegetable market, pub, restaurants, etc. The area has the most amount of sunshine in the Vancouver area. You can ski at Grouse or Seymour Mountains, or ski in Whistler in 2.5 hours, or Squamish the mountain bike capital of Canada.
Very modern, clean, uncluttered, all hardwood floors, with openplan gourmet kitchen (great for cooking), 2 king size beds and 1 double.
British Columbia is a wonderful place to explore, the scenery is amazing all year round. Our climate is very temperate. Ideal for skiing as we usually only get snow at the top of the mountains

Our Preferences
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We are currently seeking an extended exchange for 3-6 months anywhere, starting in November 2017 (but we are flexilble). Our preference would be Southern England, but to be honest, we are open to anywhere.
In the meantime, we are happy to conduct short term Exhanges in North America.
We are seeking a couple to come and stay in our home and enjoy the delights of British Columbia.
