The rain in Vancouver held off for quite a while this year so the question of “what are the things to do in Vancouver when it's raining” has been put off.

by Hannah Kacary

Whether I’m camping, road tripping or getting up early to hike I have to have my coffee. Yes, I’m a coffee addict. It’s no lie that one of my favourite parts of our three months USA road trip was finding a new coffee place every morning (even if that was just a gas station). The thing is, nowadays you don’t have to make do with crappy instant coffee when you travel. There’s good instant ...
