PLEASE READ OUR ENTIRE PROFILE (INCLUDING MY HOME) FIRST BEFORE SENDING US A REQUEST. THANK YOU :-)

We are both worldly and hilarious. We met when Vanessa surfed on my couch in April 2012. We both enjoy cooking, movies, photography, a good glass of red wine, good beer, the outdoors and of course seeing the world.
I interrupted Vanessa on her world trip, so now we are seeing the world together slowly but surely. We look forward to meeting more people and having a good meal and good conversation in our new home. We hope that a short stay with us before you head off to the mountains will be a great start to your Canadian experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Always try to be happy and don't sweat the small stuff. Our cats (Lopez and Blackie) have figured it out - play and relax as much as possible!
