Hello there; I have a situation whereas I'd like to share my space as I'm a traveller. I am around your age ( 55 ) and have been travelling the past few years and I find this is what gives me great reprieve from the mundane. I have a very intricate story that has brought me to Lake Cowichan where I am now renting a little condo. It is rather small ( 1000 sq. feet) ; however, depending on lifestyle, could work for the right room-mate. This may or may not be of any interest to you, if so, email me to discuss further.
