About Tracy Janzen:

Hi, I'm Tracy! 

I'm a 49years young, healthy and active, non-smoking single gal looking to explore new locations, cultures, homes and enjoying meeting people from all over the world. Before my home in Squamish, BC, Canada sold. i had been renting out rooms in my home  on Airbnb from Sept 2016-April 2017.  Now homefree, I then journeyed to Latin America on a  "try before i buy" exploration.  I have incredible reviews (5star!) from all the amazing guests I've hosted and Ive maintained Superhost status from the start! Therefore I am impeccably clean, organized, efficient, reliable, responsible and friendly. I love hosting! 

I am a lover of all animals, gardening and nature. This is deep rooted as I was born and raised on a dairy farm.  I try to live mindfully and with care of the planet. I recycle everything I can where facilities exist. I exercise and practice yoga regularly and have been a volunteer at 3 different studios for the past 5 years.

I am an ideal housesitter and will treat any space I am in with due care and attention as it is my own. I have house/pet/child/farm sat for many many years for family, friends and blind word of mouth recommendations. Ideally would love to be in a situation where I could continue to host guests for you if you already have that business in place AND/OR care for your animals, garden and be able to enjoy nature/outdoor activities and sunshine! 

I have lived remotely and offgrid, so I am familiar with solar and rain water collection and conservation. I have managed beachfront guesthouses  in Mexico, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, Assignments in jungle, mountain and island living as well.  I am also fully comfortable with pool maintenance as I grew up with one and have been responsible for many since then. Ive even had to remove a 6ft crocodile out of a pool in Mexico!

In addition I can get by quite well in Spanish and a wee bit of French.

Currently I am back in my home province of British Columbia after most recently coming from a 2 year experience managing a 4 bedroom beachfront bed and breakfast guesthouse in Nicaragua where i launched a turtle nursery and opened a restaurant. Hosting up to 12 in-house guests and had 6 local staff members.

I have many references and an array of experience in all of the most unusual, interesting and at times challenging locations. All rich and rewarding!

Update Nov 2023, Currently on Gabriola Island, BC managing an oceanfront airbnb on 5 acres and 3 dogs. Sleeps 7 and I serve breakfast too all the while maintaining 5 star ratings. Here until March 2024
