    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Bowen Island is an amazing community with so much to offer. You can immerse yourself in outdoor activities such as hiking and water sports. There are tons of community events such as “yoga on the pier”, dock dances, festivals and more! We are open to sharing our e-bikes, and snowboard gear to afford you a fun Canadian experience.

    BC has an incredible wine industry that I am so happy to be a part of. If you have an interest in wine, I am happy to share some of the knowledge I have gained studying it for the past decade. On the weekend you will often find us enjoying a glass over a big meal with family and friends.
