As you may have noticed from our videos we enjoy eating, a lot. And we generally do quite a bit of research on food in preparation for a trip. Trying to find local specialties and restaurants doing something amazing or different. You might have already guessed our trip to Vancouver was no exception. We researched…

We’d walked past the stunning Vancouver Art Gallery housed in the former primary courthouse for Vancouver many times exploring downtown. We felt there was a chance we’d get to visit it and today was finally the day. Nicole is always our driving force to go visit a gallery, I’m usually reluctant. This time was no…

One of the things I had been looking forward to since we had decided on a Vancouver trip was finally going to happen. It seemed like the quintessential West Coast thing to do, even East Coast I suppose. But it’s slightly different on either coast as the West Coast shares it’s with Japan. I was…

One of the things we’ve come to appreciate on the West coast is the sometimes unpredictable weather. We always knew that Vancouver was famous for rain, but we didn’t realize how quickly the weather could change.  That was the case for our third Saturday in Vancouver. When we went to bed the night before the…

The big day that countless fans and one sleepless guy were waiting for had finally come. U2 kicked off their big concert tour to celebrate the 30th year anniversary of the release of their Joshua Tree album. We’d been in Vancouver for two weeks and we had to deal with U2’s incessant practicing that whole…

We have the habit of ignoring the immediate neighbourhood where we’re staying, whether it be a longer stay like this time, or even if it’s a short stay at a hotel. We always have this sense that we have to travel away to visit restaurants, shops or sights. It’s a weird habit I can’t really…

Our big Whistler excursion left us feeling pretty wasted the day after. Whistler was wonderful, we fully enjoyed the drive up with our various stops, and then Whistler itself. If you missed that two part episode check it out, episode 5. But after that long drive home in the dark and getting to bed pretty…

We had a great start to the day. The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. We’d been making our way up to Whistler in Episode 1, making 3 stops along the Sea to Sky Highway. We got to learn about mining at the Britannia Mine Museum and got to see a couple spectacular…

As soon as we settled on Vancouver as the destination for our first remote work experience I put Whistler on the must visit list. We both really enjoy mountainous scenery and were excited to compare our own country’s beauty with other beautiful spots we’ve visited such as Switzerland and the Japanese Alps. It was hard…

We were definitely settling into our lives in Vancouver by the midpoint of our first week. Getting up early to start my workday around 6am meant ending the day around 1-2pm, generally skipping lunch. On most days so far we’d get a workout in right after work, have lunch and then head out of the…
