Welcome to Vancouver, British Columbia, one of the most stunning cities in Canada! As a Vancouver local who has been living here for six years, I have had the opportunity to explore the best neighbourhoods, restaurants, Vancouver’s top attractions, and, of course, places to stay. I know how challenging it can be to find the…
Before we caught the ferry back home we stopped by Cliff Gilker park in Roberts Creek. Not far from Gibson, Cliff Gilker park is the perfect spot for a woodland walk or a short trail run. There are plenty of waterfalls throughout the park as it’s pretty low in elevation so great for all abilities….
Smugglers Cover Sechelt is a beautiful Marine Park on the Sunshine Coast in BC. It was one of my favourite mornings on our long weekend trip to BC’s Sunshine Coast which was full of hiking and kayaking. The coastline is beautiful and one of the prettiest places we visited was Smuggler Cove Marine Park. We…
Visiting the Skookumchuck Narrows is one of the best things to do on the Sunshine Coast BC. It’s such a unique thing to see and is a highlight of our trip to this part of the Sunshine Coast. At Skookumchuck Rapids, twice a day the waters become rapids which people kayak on. The rapids are…
When you get off the ferry at Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast one of the closest hikes is Soames Hill. Hiking is one of the best things to do on the Sunshine Coast and this is a great easy hike with some impressive views. This 2.6 km loop, located in Shirley Macey Park, gives you…

However, one…
The Sunshine Coast BC is surprisingly close to downtown Vancouver. Just a 40 minute ferry across from Horseshoe Bay and you’re on the Sunshine Coast where everything moves a little slower and there are lakes and provincial parks all over the place. We spent our Easter weekend exploring the Sunshine Coast and I’m sure we’ll…
Getaway from Vancouver for a day with this spring road trip itinerary. This is the route I followed on a Sunday road trip with a friend. There are additional ideas at the bottom of this post for more things to do in the Fraser Valley if you’d like to spend a little longer there. See…
The Othello Tunnels are just north of Hope (about 1.5 hours east of Vancouver) and are a super cool BC attraction to visit. Visiting the Othello Tunnels is a great day trip from Vancouver when combined with the Chilliwack Tulip Festival and the Ladner Creek Bridge Trestle. My husband and I had driven past them…
The Kennedy Falls hike in North Vancouver is ideal if you’re looking for things to do on a rainy day in Vancouver. Since you’re in the forest most of the time, you’re pretty protected by the drizzle that characterised this part of Canada from October onwards. It’s also a great option if you’re looking for…
