Neil and I are 30 years old and both medical doctors. We are taking a year out of our training to further our careers in Vancouver and as we have never been there we thought a house swap would be a great opportunity to really see what it is like to live in Vancouver. Our house is our first home as a married couple and a labour of love. We designed and renovated it ourselves, moving in the day after we got married two and a half years ago. We love our home and we would treat an others home as if it were our own, understanding how important that is. As we are very active and outdoors people our house is in a great area for sports such as tennis, golf, swimming, biking, walks, canoeing, rugby, football (soccer), cricket and much more.
