We’ve moved from our mountain acreage to a house in beautiful Victoria…Lots to do inside and outside!
We are now looking for help outside with landscaping. We are also looking for someone who can help do a deep clean of the house now that all the construction is finished.
It’s easy to get to the ocean, Mt Tolmie, Mt Douglas, university of Victoria, various parks, shops, recreation centres, walking trails…
This is our 18th year as a hosts and we just love it. We’ve been away traveling a lot but with our new home we love the exchange of energy with travellers. Please let us know if you have any special skills:)..
We are an hard-working couple, and love to play games hike, bike, kayak, and read in our spare time.
Getting here is easy by bus.
Peace. Sue & Henry

Oliver was great to host! He helped immensely around our new property- the most of which was digging out vegetation and moving big rocks for a new pathway.

Sue and Henry were great hosts to have for my stay in British Columbia. They were easy to talk to and great people to talk about Canadian culture and history and they never pushed you too hard with the work. Located in a beautiful spot near a regional park and close to town, this was a great couple weeks to spend in BC.

However, I could talk with her and decide to leave before whole stay.
