I am a retired Kindergarten teacher and have lived in Victoria since high school. I am active and love biking, hiking, cooking, travelling, music and spending time with friends and family. My partner John is a very active retired professional. He hikes, mountain bikes, skis, plays hockey, windsurfs, golfs, etc. We thoroughly enjoy house exchange as it gives you an insight into how the locals live wherever you go!
We can also offer a non simultaneous exchange. We are very tidy, reliable, clean and responsible and will take very good care of your home.

Taunton, England June, 2017

Våra tips om platser att gå och saker att göra när du bor i vårt hem
Victoria is a top tourist destination on the southernmost tip of Vancouver Island. Victoria and surrounding areas have many diverse activities and sights; golfing, whale watching, garden tours, salmon fishing, hiking, shopping, visiting beaches and parks, biking, boating, etc. (http://www.tourismvictoria.com, http://www.hellobc.com/, http://www.vancouverisland.com/, http://www.victoriabcguide.com). Downtown there are many wonderful restaurants, heritage buildings, shops, the Royal B.C. Museum, street performers, the legislative buildings and more. You can drive up Island for a day of beachcombing, swimming or hiking. Parksville and Tofino offer miles of long sandy beaches and Tofino is a fantastic surfing mecca. If you'd like to explore a bit further you can take a ferry to the Gulf Islands, to Vancouver and then on to Whistler if you wish or to Washington State, USA. For an excellent overview of British Columbia please view http://www.destinationbc.ca/ As we are below the 49th parallel and on the ocean Victoria weather is moderate. We seldom get snow in the winter and it rarely goes above 30' C in the summer.

This is a very clean, non-smoking home and I don't allow pets inside. We will be responsible and considerate with your home as I'm sure you will be with mine. Please note - we are unable to complete a simultaneous home exchange in July or August although my home is available for a non simultaneous exchange then.
