  Description

  I am a single mom with a 13 year old son living and playing in the beautiful Sea to Sky. We live on a cul de sac with tight knit relationships with our wonderful neighbours. Some of the activities we enjoy are mountain biking and skiing. As a former exchange student in France, who has lifelong memories of my time there, I am looking forward to hosting and sharing experiences with the right workawayer and providing wonderful memories as well! Squamish is perfect for people who love the outdoors, with access to biking, hiking, kiting, paddling,mountains, ocean and rivers. My son is neurodivergernt, likes playing video games, and trading Pokemon and being creative. We are looking forward to sharing the beautiful place we live with you!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Some of the activities we like to do are visit the Britannia Mine Museum, swimming at the lakes, camping, fires with neighbours in the back yard, going to the pool or ice-skating, mountain biking and geocaching. Squamish has a lot of good quality events, such as small venue music, trivia nights, comedy nights, adventure movies etc. As a former exchange student, I hope to share language experiences and all that Squamish has to offer. We also have a cabin in the mountains of the Okanagan that we visit when we can!
