Penderfriends
Age: 55-65
Member since April 2015
A semi-retired, long-married couple still in love and living the good life on one of Canada's gorgeous Gulf islands.
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
A couple of retired journalists who fled the corporate world for a quieter life on a small island between Victoria and Vancouver on Canada's west coast, we enjoy travelling and camping. A blog of our last big trip (On Burroed Time, burroedtime.blogspot.ca) tells as much about us as anyone could want to know. We love music and meeting old friends, even if it's for the first time.
Skills & Expertise to Share
Ian works as a handyman and can do a little bit of everything, and of course both he and Vicki made their livings working with words, and are happy to help with anything that involves writing.
Penderfriends's Pets
We have a pair of cats who travel with us, but don't roam outside.

Great People
Although we were unable to be at home for their stay and never got to meet this couple, they can come back anytime. You would never know they were there if not for the request to stay and their reference for staying at our property. Just the kind of people we want.

Such a great visit
The Penderfriends stayed at our location and it was a pleasure learning from a couple have travelled the path just ahead of us. Great to see a couple so connected and that have such value on great communication and a passion for seeing the Canadian landscape using the back roads. Sharing time with them over the few days they were here just gave us more confidence to hit the road and see more of Canada using Boondockers along the way.
Cheers,
Sailon
Very friendly couple
We were very pleased to be able to host this couple! They were very interesting with lots of travel experiences. They shared with us lots of good advice about travelling in the southern states, which we truly appreciated. We wish them many safe journeys ahead and we would welcome them back any time.
