  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of 3 plus two border collie dogs. We live on Bowen Island, a beautiful quiet place in British Columbia. We live on a quiet neighborhood 10 mins away from the ocean, where we love spending most days during the summer.

    I’m a Massage Therapist who loves nature, art and wellness, my husband works in the film industry. Our typical day involves getting up and getting ready for work/school, walking the dogs on one of the many trails around our home and a mandatory ocean dip when it’s warm out! Occasionally we’d do a day trip to Vancouver for shows, visiting friends or dinner. We love our peaceful island life.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Bowen Island is a popular destination for tourists seeking to recharge from their busy city life. Is a paradise for nature lovers. There are multiple trails for hiking, mountain biking and exploring. Kayaking, swimming and sailing are also popular activities around here. We are a short 20 min ferry ride from Vancouver so you can still enjoy the perks of a big city.
