    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I'm Vancouver born and raised and active in the community. I work in the communications field, so have lots of knowledge about the things to see and do in the city and throughout BC, be it entertainment, cultural or outdoor recreation based.

  • Help

    Help

    My needs are relatively simple - mainly in the general maintenance side of things. I've had workawayers help me clean my garage of old items to be taken away, clean various parts of the inside of the house, assemble some Ikea furniture, and help organize things. Gardening might also comprise a large part of the work.
