  Description

  My name is Chrissy
  I have a half acre property on Gabriola Island BC which is a beautiful place to live and visit that is culturally alive in all aspects of the arts with great hiking and beaches. I am an artist own a b&b and also work at a restaurant.
  
  Gabriola Island is a short 30 minute ferry ride to downtown Nanaimo harbour, our largest city centre nearby.
  
  There is wildlife abounds on Gabriola ( lots of deer, wild turkeys and sea animals of course ) sure to please every animal lover and tree hugger.
  In the community it is easy to find recreation of all sorts on the cheap. People here are super friendly hippie sorts.
  
  We enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. So far, I have had work away women come to stay from Germany, France, Mexico, Belgium, Sweden, and California and Chile Japan and Italy. I found everyone had something different to give our family.
  
  There is a coffee shop, and everything that one needs on the island. Restaurants, hardware store, gift shop, second hand stores.
  We have a local bus for getting around, but does not run often. I have a bicycle that can be borrowed.
  
  Accommodation : single bed in a bedroom in the home
  
  Thank you for your interest. Happy Travels!
