Stan and Maria

More Information

We're a non-smoking , temperate couple living in a retirement community in northwest Washington State, thirty miles south of Vancouver, BC.

Stan is originally from Lancashire, having emigrated to Canada when he was twenty-two. Maria, on the other hand, is from Northern California.

Maria is a painter and also teaches painting at a local college, while Stan was a computer consultant with a major bank prior to his retirement.

We enjoy travelling, meeting people and immersing ourselves in cultures other than our own. We do this by house sitting/self catering cottages and living for extended periods in various countries.

We have traveled extensively in India, Japan, Southeast Asia, Alaska, throughout Canada and the USA, as well as many European countries.

Indicative of our stability, maturity and sense of responsibility is our excellent credit rating - 840 from a maximum of 850.

We're a law abiding, responsible couple. Stan is the block captain of our local Neighborhood Watch group.

Over the past several years Stan has been a board member of the local Arts Commission, vice-president of the county historical society,and secretary/treasurer of a ballet company.

We have house sat previously in the UK and have glowing references - see attachment.

We are totally trustworthy and fully aware of our responsibility to care for and respect other's homes.

We have had dogs and cats over the years and have an especial love for pets and a concern for their needs, safety and well-being.
