We live in the "Dunbar Neighbourhood", a very nice family oriented area with lots of parks around. Three blocks west is Pacific Spirit Park (forest park with lots of trails.) We are on a hill with some mountain view. The University is 5 minutes (10 by bus),and Downtown is 15 min away by car. This area is excellent for any day trips you would like to do in Vancouver. Buses are 1 block away and you can make the conection to the Canada Line (subway or skytrain), Expo Line or Millenium Line. Local mountains are 30 -45 minutes away (Cypress, Grouse, Seymour) . Whistler is 2.5 hs North; Seattle in USA about 3.5hs. We are only 20 minutes away from YVR.

We are Maria Noel(45, mom) with 2 teenagers, Alexander(19) and Robert (18). We love to travel and visit new places and cultures. We had travelled a few times to Southamerica (Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, UK) We had done 3 very successful swaps in 2007 Surrey UK, 2008 Park City, Utah USA, and 2010 New York City.
Note: On Dec.2008 my beloved husband and father of Alex and Robert passed away suddenly. He would have loved for us to continue visiting new places as he did with us.
PS. We would love to visit Switzerland or northern Italy, but we will consider all offers.
