Vancouver

Vancouver is the place to be Covid-Summer 2021. Travelling in Canada has become the cool thing to do and we are here for it 👏👏👏 There are so many beautiful wonders to explore from the coast to coast, and us Torontonians need OUT. Toronto has been in the longest lockdown ever… ever ever.. and we were desperate for an escape. We packed up our bags, dogs and Dom and made our way across the country for 2 weeks and honestly didn’t know if we were going to come home. The crisp air, blue skies, magical views of the ocean and snow covered mountain tops, and the healthy-outdoorsy lifestyle had us feeling refreshed. The lifestyle is just different than Toronto, and for the first time ever, I understood more how Vancouver is like Los Angeles and Toronto is like New York.

Excited for you to go enjoy the beach / park picnic, hiking world of Vancouver. Pack your hiking shoes, picnic blanket, and get ready to drink some epic wine and beer. ** My favourite wine was from A Sunday in August, which is sold and served at Juice Bar and Their There.

Because I know you’re going to ask, I’m going to slid this in here quick: RENT A CAR 100% and stay in either Kitsilano or Mt. Pleasant.

Going to save you from stories and toss in my recommendations for food (by neighbourhood), drinks and activities.
