I've been in Vancouver for a 6 months research stay and am now very much looking forward to seeing more of BC's than the Downtown Eastside and especially some amazing nature. Since everyone says I need to see Vancouver Island, I'm planning to do that now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet (like minded) people, have interesting conversations and learn more about the island, nature, the culture...
