Became a member in: 2010
Renewal Date: 31/Mar/2023
We're a family of four: Craig and Moira, both in communications/public relations, with two wonderful 15-year-old boys, Sean and Eric. As a family, we've explored the countryside and castle ruins of North Yorkshire, we've visited beautiful Belgian cities and coastal dunes, and have paid our respects to fallen relatives near First World War battlefields in Belgium and France. We've also been to Seattle, Arizona, Cabo and California together. We look forward to much more family travel, both near and far.
We love doing home exchanges as they provide us with a home base from which we can launch our next great adventure. We take pride in our home, and will treat yours with the same respect we do our own.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Come visit Victoria, B.C., rated by Conde Naste as "the second best small city in the world!"
We have a large family-friendly home in a beautiful neighbourhood just 7 kilometres from downtown Victoria, B.C and its historic attractions. Our home is steps from municipal parkland with its pond and walking trails. We are five minutes from two excellent recreation centres, shopping and golf.
Our home features three bedrooms, a family room, office/den, and a beautiful open living room/dining room/kitchen that steps out onto the back patio and garden/yard. There is a private ensuite bathroom with soaker tub off the master bedroom, a second full bathroom, and a powder room. There's also free WiFi for your laptop and a PlayStation (PS4) for our gamer guests.
In the back yard/garden, we have a high-quality gas barbeque and lots of lounge chairs. Our home sleeps six comfortably, but we have a flexible configuration that could allow for more guests if necessary.
Vehicle available for exchange.
