If you like a city with an amazing night life and beautiful nature, then you need to take a trip to Vancouver, Canada! Check out all of my recommendations for when you visit! Stay tuned as I am actively updating this blog post.
BLOEDEL CONSERVATORY
Made it out to the Bloedel Conservatory on top of the Queen Elizabeth Park today! We walked around the greenhouse, took a ton of photos of parrots (coming to the blog soon) and then recreated some of my graduation photos near the flower area.
CAPILANO SUSPENSION BRIDGE
Oh Canada, why are you so beautiful? While you’re out there living your life, planning for tomorrow and partying make sure you take some time to enjoy the views. I know I definitely enjoyed this view as I was crossing the Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver!
ENGLISH BAY BEACH
If you were to ask my friends to describe me using 2 words, those words would probably be ‘photo’ and ‘yolo’ because I love taking pictures and because according to my cousin I’m the queen of YOLO (You Only Live Once) because I’m always down for an adventure.
One of my fave places in Vancouver is English Bay Beach because of all of the cool looking art pieces placed all over. One of my favorite places we visited in Vancouver was English Bay Beach because I love the ocean, and because there’s a ton to do here! We got frozen Popsicles, had lunch, walked around and explored.
My favorite part about taking photos like this is that I get more time to look at beautiful views like the bluest of waters at English Bay Beach in Vancouver! I can’t wait to go back to Canada, one of my favorite countries!
EXPLORE BEAUTIFUL CANADA
How beautiful is this? This flag made of flowers is one of the first things you see as cross the border into Canada from Washington.
EXPLORE BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER
I’m in love with where we are staying…because of the fact that we wake up to beautiful views every morning. We are on the 36th floor and feel blessed to be able to explore and learn a little more about this wonderful country. My first time in Canada was last July so I’m thinking of making an annual Canada trip each July. Check out more of the amazing views here.
HIKE GROUSE MOUNTAIN
In Vancouver, my friends and I decided to be ambitious and cross the Grouse Grind Hike off of our hiking bucket list. The Grouse Grind Hike is a trail on Grouse Mountain that is known to be one of the most difficult trails in Vancouver. Check out more of my experience here.
GRANVILLE ISLAND
I got the chance to walk around Granville Island a few weeks ago when I was in Vancouver and I’m totally missing all the boats, the fabulous weather, and the public market!
Have you ever seen a view while traveling that kind of makes you want to just move there? This was the view that did it for me in Vancouver! It’s also the view that inspired the blog post ‘A Million Reasons Why I Want To Move To Canada’ coming soon (the title will probably change lol). Seriously though, how serene is this? It was also perfect because as calm as this view from Stanley Park made us feel, the park was still buzzing with activity.
QUEEN ELIZABETH PARK
STANLEY PARK
I had the best time in Vancouver and cannot wait to return. I hope this post inspires you visit.
Thank you all for reading, and stay enthusiastic!
