I think if you embrace winter by still getting outdoors then it makes the short days and grey skies a lot more bearable. I’m a skier and so have always loved getting up into the mountains but since moving to Vancouver I’ve enjoyed a different way of experiencing snowy landscapes: snowshoeing. I’d heard many things…
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…
It’s heading into another Vancouver winter and that means dark, short days and so, SO much rain. But don’t worry there are still plenty of things to do in Vancouver in winter. Evenings spent on the beach watching the sunset may be over, but winter means ski season, festivals, funky light events and new trails…
One of the best things about our move to Vancouver, Canada is that there’s a whole new load of places to explore. We’ve managed to fit in a decent amount of Vancouver weekend getaways since we moved here in June 2017. From romantic weekend getaways to adventure weekend getaways and places that make a great…
We’re heading into fall and everyone is all about pumpkins, pumpkin-spiced everything, and pumpkin picking. Yeah, it’s all about those orange squash. If you’re thinking of things to do this fall and want to go to a pumpkin patch, or corn maze, or go and pick your own apples then check out this list below…
Since moving to British Columbia I’ve developed a bit of an obsession with trestles. I don’t even think I knew what they were before I moved to Canada. But now? Now if I know there’s a trestle in the area I’m desperate to go visit. The Myra Canyon trestles and the Ladner Creek trestle are…
Summer in Vancouver came and went in a flash. All of a sudden we’re back to rain. But we’ve still got time before the snow comes to get in some fall hikes in Vancouver! Hiking in the forests and the mountains (on clearer days) is one of the best things to do in Vancouver in…
When I moved to BC my obsession with trestles began. So far I’ve ticked off the Ladner Creek trestle and now the Myra Canyon trestles. I’d tried to visit these last November but the snow had already fallen and the road was closed so we had to postpone it. This summer I returned with some…
I went to the Okanagan area of BC a few times before I actually did any wine tasting. That’s strange since the Okanagan valley BC is famed for its wine. The best BC wines, and indeed some of the best Canadian wine, come from the Okanagan. One Labour Day weekend I decided to go on…
If there’s one thing that I’ve learnt about camping in Canada, it’s that you can’t expect to rock up at a campsite in the summer and expect there to be a space. This is especially true when you try and camp in Banff, Jasper and Yoho National Parks in the summer. Securing a camping spot…
