  Description

  Hi there! I ‘m a kind, easygoing artist/teacher/actor who has always loved hosting people here in the city that I grew up in! I live in a quiet heritage house in a quiet in a very central area of Vancouver. I held a fundraiser for Ukraine Aid by collecting clothes to sell from my community and need help sorting them and general help cleaning and organizing the house. I am often taking care of my dad who has stage four cancer, so the house has been neglected and not a priority but I would love to make it a nice living space again with your understanding and help. For meals, I can provide basic staples for you to make your own breakfast, lunch/snacks and dinner like oatmeal, granola, beans, lentils, rice, spicy noodle packages, quinoa, sauces, soups, bread, buns, nuts and various yummy snacks/desserts for you in the kitchen. You can access and make food at your leisure. Because I used to be a Vancouver tour guide, I can recommend great restaurants and things to check out around the city. Please let me know a bit about yourself and how long you would ideally want to stay for. I prefer to work with you in the afternoon and evenings:) The room in the photos is sometimes occupied by a housemate, so it may not be the one available when you send a request but there is another private furnished room that would be available in that case. I look forward to meeting you!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Hi travellers! I am excited to get to know your culture and introduce you to mine:) I was a tour guide in Vancouver and can make great suggestions for what you should see while you’re here! The houses in my neighbourhood are really beautiful and a great representation of the heart of Vancouver:) And there are such a variety of different cultures represented in the amazing food selection available a few blocks away! Lots of cafes and grocery shops are walkable from here. It’s a very cute neighbourhood.
