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…
Vancouver in the winter can be cold, dark and wet but there is a plus and that’s Christmas in Vancouver BC. One of the best things about Christmas is the build-up to Christmas. That time when the Christmas markets are in full swing, there are Christmas lights in Vancouver which you can find all over…
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…

One of these mountains is Grouse Mountain (you can usually make out the wind turbine on the top!). Grouse Mountain Vancouver sits in between the Cypress ski area to the west where you’ll find Black Mountain…
Vancouverites love to cool down on the water in the summer. It’s not surprising since the city is surrounded by it. And, even though I’ve heard a dozen times that the water in the city is super dirty, I can assure you it’s far, far cleaner than The Thames and the beaches downtown pass water…
One of the best ways to get around Vancouver is by bike. It’s such a bike-friendly city with bike paths and lanes everywhere. Come summer you’ll see hundreds of people on their bikes as they go to or from work, meet up with friends or race around in pelotons. Whether you’re a Vancouver local or…
Biking Stanley Park is a bucket list Vancouver item and is something I’ve done countless times. Since I lived a 2 minute walk away from Stanley Park (and even closer by bike) for 6 years, I would spend my mornings or evenings getting a quick lap in. On these bike rides, the beauty of Stanley…
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…
