| Hiking with two of our grandchildren very close to our home, May 2011 |
Welcome to our site. After two very successful home exchanges to Spain in 2005, and Perth Australia
in January 2008, we are ready to start planning for the next trip. So far this has been a wonderful experience, and
I would recommend it to anyone. If at all interested, feel free to check the links on the left to access more
pictures and information about our home and the beautiful area that we live in, the Kootenays.
A home exchange doesn't always have to be to a far away destination, and with this in mind, we have done one
shorter exchange in Vancouver BC. This gave us the opportunity to visit with our two adult children and their families,
who live in the Kitsilano area, but yet have our own space! We would be very interested in doing this again sometime.
We are always interested in finding a family from a tropical climate, who might enjoy the opportunity to come here
and ski at a world class ski area. We would also like to visit France and Italy in 2012.
We would be open to any alternate proposals, and promise to respond to every enquiry we receive.

We have a hot dry climate in summer, and a mild snowy winter. Our area is a virtual outdoorsman's paradise.
Within easy access to our home, you can find mountain trails for hiking, biking, beaches for swimming, rivers for kayaking
or canoeing, excellent golf courses, tennis, camping, and larger urban centers. Just a 25 minute drive through town
is a world class ski resort called Red Mountain. Within 4 hours drive you can be in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
For much more information and pictures, check out the links at the left.

About Us
We are a couple, Dave and Eileen, in our mid 50's. Dave is a Lab Technician, and Eileen is a dental receptionist.
We have raised 3 children, and now can dote on our 4 grandchildren. As "empty nesters", we are loving this part
of our life since it gives us the opportunity to visit and experience other parts of the world. We thoroughly enjoy
meeting new people, and love being immersed into the local culture of the places we visit.
We are situated in southern British Columbia, the most western province in Canada. We live in a small village in
the mountains called Fruitvale, but are considered almost a bedroom community of Trail. Within our close proximity
we also have the cities of Rossland, Castlegar, and Nelson.
