We are a retired Vancouver city planner (72) and teaching assistant (69) who love to garden, hike/trek, x-country & telemark ski, read, sing, eat well (!) and travel, often to obscure locations (ie. Xinjiang). We can offer advice on these activities (and an excellent outdoor equipment store nearby). We've done 18 house exchanges to Argentina,
Austria, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Sweden, Turkey, and Portland, Ore., U.S.A. Our three adult children live nearby and could help orient you to Vancouver.
