We are professional couple with two children aged 15 and 17. We enjoy sports, history, animals, the outdoors and travel! We have participated in 4 wonderful home exchanges to date - one local exchange in BC, two exchanges in the UK in 2016 and 2018 respectively, and our most recent exchange in Varese, Italy in 2022. We are always open to offers but are particularly looking for an exchange sometime between June 21-July 15, 2024 in Germany, ideally near Berlin, Dortmund or Munich. There would only be three of us on that trip as our daughter will be off to University.

Read More...What a fantastic home exchange, we loved the house and area. It was great to be able to get up in the morning a go for a stroll on the beach. Deer and eagles could be seen from the doorstep. We went kayaking, bear and whale watching, Vancouver Island is a hikers dream with beautiful swimming lakes within 15 mins drive. Kara and Kent’s home is spacious and comfortable with a great garden to play in. We particularly enjoyed picking raspberries every day for breakfast. Communication was great and it was lovely to meet Kent on our final night for dinner. Much love and thanks to the whole family for sharing their home with us.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
(We are ideally looking for an exchange to Germany for sometime between June 21-July 15, 2024 - ideally near Berlin, Dortmund or Munich) Modern and very clean, non-smoking 3 bedroom family home in beautiful seaside city of Nanaimo, 3 blocks from the ocean. Nanaimo is a perfect central location for access to all that Vancouver Island has to offer. Very safe, located on a private cul de sac with private backyard, this home is only a 10 minute walk to the ocean. Situated perfectly for daytrips to tourist destinations of Victoria and Long Beach (Tofino), and a 1.5 hour stunning ferry ride to Vancouver. Nanaimo is a growing city (approx. pop. 100,000) with mountains, lakes, wilderness and all amenities are within a 5 minute drive. Perfect location for families or couples looking for a great West Coast Canada experience. See www.nanaimo.ca, www.tourismnanaimo.com, hellobc.com/vancouver-island.aspx. We are a professional working couple with 2 teenage children (age 15 and 17) and have three successful house exchanges to date. We will treat your home with great care and look forward to future house exchanges.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
We live on a private cul de sac (7 houses) with excellent neighbours. We are a 10 minute walk to the ocean, 2 blocks from the local school and sports fields, and a 5 minute drive to Woodgrove Centre (large shopping centre), Costco, and grocery stores. We have a large and private backyard with deck and lovely landscaping. We are located in one of the best areas of Nanaimo - the north end - due to its well cared for homes and close proximity to the beach and ocean views.
We are a half hour drive to the nearest airport and for those traveling to Nanaimo, the best route is to Vancouver (YVR) and then flight over to Nanaimo airport or take the BC ferries which can be a lovely way to see the coast. Our home is about a 15 minute drive to the Departure Bay ferry terminal. You will want a car for your stay here. We do have bus transportation close by, but the best way to explore the island is by car.
