Vancouver surprised me.
All in one trip, I was able to eat incredible food, experience different cultures, and still feel like you're breathing easier than you did at home.
A few things that stood out during my visit:
✨ Granville Island Public Market — if you haven't been, put it on your list. Fresh everything, local artists, and some of the best people-watching in the city
✨ The seawall walk around Stanley Park — I've done this multiple times and it never gets old. Go around 4-5pm when the light hits just right
✨ Gastown's charm — yes, it's touristy, but there's real history here and the cobblestone streets genuinely feel like stepping back in time
If you've been to Vancouver, what's your must-do spot? And if you haven't — what's holding you back?
