Explore Vancouver & Beyond
Coquitlam is a fantastic base for discovering Vancouver and the surrounding region. We’re approximately a 25-minute drive from central Vancouver, depending on traffic, while being close to beautiful parks, mountains, lakes, and outdoor recreation.

Hiking and mountain biking
Skiing and snowboarding

Camping and other outdoor adventures
Vancouver is famous for its spectacular scenery, mild climate, and incredible combination of city attractions and easy access to nature. Whistler is about a 2½-hour drive away, and Victoria and Vancouver Island are also easily accessible by ferry, making it possible to enjoy a wide variety of day trips and weekend adventures.
Car Exchange
We would also consider a car exchange as part of a home exchange. We have a 2017 Nissan Rogue, which seats five and is a great vehicle for exploring the city, mountains and surrounding areas.
Our Cat
We also have a very easygoing Russian Blue cat. She is friendly, independent and a hypoallergenic breed. We would be happy to discuss arrangements for her care as part of an exchange.
We hope our home can provide you with a comfortable and relaxing base for discovering Vancouver, British Columbia and the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We’d be delighted to hear from fellow travellers interested in exchanging homes and experiencing the area like a local!
