    Description

    I live in Vancouver, B.C., in a quiet and very central location near Queen Elisabeth Park and Oakridge (a new city center is being built there), close to bus stops and a metro station. I would like to host people from around the world in exchange for help with gardening and housekeeping.
    I also need a helpful hand with housekeeping on my property in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
