Meet your host, Elliot
Member since 2025
I'm a nature enthusiast and lifelong learner. In 2021, my partner Emily and I bought a decommissioned ambulance in London, Ontario, and we spent the next 6 months renovating it before driving it to BC, Mexico, Halifax and eventually back to BC. The ambulance has lived on Vancouver Island for the last 3 years, serving as the perfect vehicle for surf trips on the wild west coast, a cozy home to come back to after long hikes in Strathcona Provincial Park, and the ultimate base camp for bigger trips with friends. We're thrilled to be able to share the magic of Vancouver Island with visitors from near and far!
