Vancouver, Canada

After touring around the West Coast of America, Alex and I flew North, sticking to the West Coast to Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Vancouver has a special place in my heart. This was my second visit here and I loved it just as much as my first.

This British Columbian city is been ranked in the top 5 most livably cities in the world for some years now and I couldn’t agree more.  The city is completely cosmopolitan and yet caters heavily for the outdoor enthusiasts among us.

If you’re planning a North American trip I can’t recommend going here enough.

There is an abundance to do in and around the city. So here is a small list of my recommend things to do and see;

  • Cycling around Stanley Park
  • City beaches
  • Picnic anywhere
  • University of British Columbia Campus
  • Granville Island
  • Mountain climbing
  • Mountain biking – many locations but recommended, Whistler (summer months)
  • Skiing – many locations but recommended, Whistler (winter months)
  • Water sports – False Creek
  • Hiking/running up the grouse grind – Grouse Mountain
  • Capalino suspension bridge
  • shopping down Granville street
