We are an easy going couple in our late 40's. I am Diane born and raised in BC. I have lived in the Vancouver area all my life which seems rare when I talk to other people about it. I basically manage the house, rentals and exchanges. I used to have a Vintage clothing store and still love vintage clothes and pretty much all Vintage stuff. Paulus was born in Amsterdam and Immigrated to Canada at age four. We try and go back to the Netherlands to see relatives regularly. He is a carpenter and art school graduate. He still enjoys painting in his spare time, and also has a large vinyl music collection and listens to a lot of music. We both like art, home design, danish modern styles, and antiques. We also enjoy hiking, biking and kayaking, and just the outdoors in general.
I am a Vegetarian and Paulus eats Seafood but no meat. We are both non smokers. Sorry, there is no smoking in the suite. (outside is okay)
Sorry, no pets allowed due to people with pet allergies

About Home Exchange Owners :
I'm Diane and my partner of 14 years is Paulus. We are in are late 40's. I used to have a Vintage clothing store here in Vancouver which is where I met Paulus 14 years ago. I still love anything Vintage / Mod or antique like in clothing and furniture. I now manage a vacation rental suite in our house and do respite care for my sisters Autistic son. Paulus has been a carpenter now for about 16 years. He graduated from Emily Carr Art institute and San Francisco Art school when he was younger and really enjoys painting in his spare time. He also has a huge vinyl record collection of all genres of music and we listen to a lot on the turntables when ever we get a chance. Paulus was born in Amsterdam but his family moved here to Vancouver, Canada when he was four years old. He can still understand and speak Dutch fairly well.

We just did our first home exchange non simultaneous exchange in Prague in the early May 2013 with a great couple that stayed with us here last October, which worked out wonderful
We can definitely do non-simultaneous exchanges or simultaneous can work as well most times. The suite does have certain times it's already booked as a vacation rental but lots of open times for free home exchanges.
We are non smoking and no pets and we are looking for the same as our friend Wanda traveling with us is allergic.
Smoking is only allowed outside the suite here :) but no pets.
