Oh, Canada. You truly are something else, a vast land of greenery and saltwater, rock and civilization, of natural beauty and hipster culture intertwined. Your people are not only environmentally-friendly, but also just friendly – thank you for letting me settle into your way of life for a few days.

Vancouver, in particular, is an ideal city of sorts; surrounded by mountains and ocean, it is the best of all worlds. Chloe and I roamed artsy streets dotted with coffee shops and vintage finds, hiked and biked the nature, and relaxed in the comfort of our cozy BnB. Though a quick trip, and not glamorous by any means, Vancouver was a place to remember.
