  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Vancouver Island is one of the best places in the world for hiking, camping, kayaking, fishing and outdoor activities in general. I would have to say to anyone in the world, experiencing the Pacific Northwest on our island and engaging in outdoors activities would be a fantastic cultural experience.
  
  We are both musicians and play together in some bands and individually in other projects. If someone is staying with us that has musical ability, they could join us in some rehearsals at some of the bands or we could just all find something to play together. If a person has less musical ability, of course they would still be welcome to come along to audit rehearsals.
  
  Kathryn plays in one group in particular that regularly features music written by women composers of modern Canadian classical music.

  I've always loved learning languages and in the past have studied Latin, German, Esperanto, Spanish and French. Spanish and French are the only two languages I consider myself to be at beginner level these days.

  Unterkunft

  We offer an apartment for the visitor to stay. It is self-contained and has it's own separate entrance. It is downstairs from the main floor where we live. We would be sharing meals in our house upstairs, although the apartment has it's own kitchen if the visitor would prefer to make any of their own meals. The apartment has a laundry for the guest's use and also has it's own deck.

  Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans

  We have our own VW Westfalia and our driveway is certainly capable of holding a campervan or small motorhome. Trailers would not work however due to the driveway geometry.
