There are so many cozy coffee shops in Vancouver, BC. and if you’re a coffee addict (hi, hello) then you’ll know that sometimes there’s nothing better than finding a cozy coffee shop and enjoying a hot drink made for you by someone else. It’s just never quite the same at home, is it? There are…
The hidden gems Vancouver has to offer are pretty varied. You’ve got beautiful secret beach areas, bunnies, sunset spots, and more. After 6 years of living in Vancouver (which has flown by), just when I think I know the city well I find out about another great hidden gem in Vancouver. These Vancouver hidden gems…
Bowen Island is a picturesque island that’s close to Vancouver and is one of my favourite Vancouver weekend trips. As someone who has visited the island many times, I can attest to its beauty and peaceful nature. It’s the beauty of the island that is one of its main attractions. Add to that the numerous…
Did you know there are tonnes of things to do in Whistler for non-skiers? If you’d ever told me growing up that one day I’d live a couple of hour’s drive away from Whistler I wouldn’t have believed you. Now we get to visit Whistler in December multiple times for skiing, as well as throughout…
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve gone on to Airbnb and searched for “cabins near Vancouver”. There’s just something about staying in a wooden shelter with a fireplace, blankets, a board game or a good book.

On our first (of what became many) road trips to Banff and Jasper from Vancouver, I knew that I also wanted to stop off in Yoho National Park on the return drive. Yoho National Park is across the provincial border from Banff, Jasper and Lake Louise and seems to receive a lot less attention than…
I love summer in Vancouver, BC and one of the reasons why is that there are so many things to do in Vancouver in the summer. The winters in Vancouver are usually pretty rainy, but Vancouver in the summer is something special. The city truly comes alive, everyone’s out of hibernation and the seawall is…
Despite not being a big city there are plenty of romantic things to do in Vancouver. If you and your partner (or potential partner) like outdoors dates then there are even more Vancouver date ideas available to you! My husband and I spent six years living in Vancouver and we’re big fans of having a…
When I first moved to Vancouver in the summer of 2017, the rain in Vancouver held off for quite a while. The question of “what are the things to do in Vancouver when it’s raining” had been put off, and honestly, I’d not had to consider how to spend winter. It had been put off…
