We are new to home exchange and are looking to travel more as the world opens up post COVID. We are readers, foodies, walkers and boaters. I am a knitter, spinner and weaver. We spent our 30s living and working in New Zealand and Australia and have now settled permanently in Victoria. We want to use this as a base to see more of the world.
We offer an apartment and are able to consider asynchronous home exchanges, we'll go stay on our boat. We are still working so we are looking to take one two- or three-week holiday each year.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
We live on the edge of downtown Victoria. Walk a few blocks down Johnson St to the Inner Harbour and the shops on Government St. Our neighbourhood is a mix of condos and rental apartments with lots of shopping and some offices. A variety of specialty food shops are within a few blocks as well as a number of excellent restaurants.
The city has converted several kilometers of railway lines to bike trails - you can cycle 40km west to Sooke or 20km north to Sidney off road. Access to the protected bike network is a short block from the apartment.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
Monday to Friday we live downtown - we love to cook and make regular trips to Mount Royal Bagels, the Market on Yates, Vintage Liquor Store, Farm & Field Butchers, Pattiserie Daniel and Finest at Sea. Chinatown, Fernwood, Cook St Village and the Inner Harbour are all close by with specialty stores and restaurants.
Weekends we head out to explore the islands. Victoria is on Vancouver Island - a rainforest with great beaches, hikes, boating, cycle trails. BC Ferries runs several trips a day to many of the Gulf Islands.
