We are retired health professionals from Vancouver, Canada who are interested in both simultaneous and non simultaneous home swaps. We love being in the outdoors in nature - hiking, biking, skiing and being! What we have to offer is a 2 br and den beautiful character home (upper floors of a duplex) in a very desirable part of Vancouver called Kitsilano. It is close to beaches, flat bike paths, grocery stores, restaurants, cafes etc. – everything you might need is within walking and cycling distance. Kits is halfway between the University of British Columbia and downtown Vancouver, close to great bus routes.
We have 3 bikes available and the possible use of a car should you want to venture further away – over to the mountains on the North Shore where there is great hiking, up Howe Sound to Whistler, over to Vancouver Island or the Sunshine Coast by ferry.... so many wonderful places to visit! We also have a tiny cabin, off grid (no running water or electricity) on one of the Gulf Islands which we could make available. It is situated on a mountain overlooking the Salish Sea and is a wonderful place to just peace out in nature.
We will be hosting our Turkish Homelink friends this summer (2022) but could be available to do weekend and shorter swaps this coming Fall and Winter. More availability likely in Spring and summer of 2023.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Kitsilano, one of the loveliest areas in Vancouver, is situated between UBC and downtown Vancouver. The ocean and beach are only 3 blocks away and both Jericho Park and Kitsilano Beach are within a 15 minute walk – a 5 minute bike ride (bikes available too). Buses are only one block away so it is easy to hop on a bus to UBC, Downtown or other parts of Vancouver.
Our pretty residential street is just a few minutes walk or bike ride to a large variety of shops including grocery, deli and wine stores, bakeries, bookshops, yoga studios and a great selection of restaurants- from inexpensive ethnic places, fabulous sushi to fine dining. And, it is only a 30 minute drive to the mountains for hiking or skiing.
