Description
We live in Nanaimo, British Columbia on Vancouver Island and have a house located in Departure Bay. We have a lovely home with 1 dog (Coco) and 1 cat (Weasley). I work full-time as a midwife and my husband is retired. He originally comes from Germany so he also speaks German and Dutch as well as English.
Our home has a beautiful backyard with a hot tub, sauna and cold plunge. Our own little oasis. -
