    Description

    Hi there! I ‘m a kind, easygoing artist/teacher 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 to go into a pop-up shop and general help cleaning and organizing the house, garage and possibly some minor house repair or maintenance if you have the skills:) For meals, I can provide basic staples for you to make your own breakfast lunch and dinner like oats, beans, lentils, rice, noodles, quinoa, sauces, soups, bread, buns, nuts and various snacks for you in the kitchen! Want you to be able to 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, what your schedule would be like and how long you would ideally want to stay for. 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.
