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
