British Columbia
British Columbia is my home and the most Western province of Canada. It is a huge area of land known for its diversity of landscapes and geography, stunning natural beauty and outdoor adventures. There are cosmopolitan cities like Vancouver, Kelowna, as well as stunning hiking and mountain ranges, coastal rainforests, picturesque lakes, desert, wineries, and forests. Truly there is something for everyone!

My experience in British Columbia
I am a born and raised Canadian and have lived in both Alberta close to the Canadian Rockies and Northern BC as a child.
Although I have been living in Vancouver, BC’s major city, since 2015, I still love discovering the local gems in Vancouver, as well as the tourist hot spots including Stanley Park
When certain world events started in 2020, I embraced the opportunity to travel locally. I can honestly say that I have travelled through BC from the very southern border of BC and the USA, across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, and up to the very northern border with the Arctic.
Of course I absolutely love the coast and the vibe in Tofino and the Pacific Rim, and I also love finding lesser known destinations like a hidden Lava bed full of waterfalls and hotsprings in Northern BC.
I am not exaggerating when I say I feel like I could spend my entire life travelling throughout BC and still not see everything!
