Headed Home – Episode 21

After four wonderful weeks living downtown Vancouver it was time to pack up and head home. It’s fair to say that we were both shocked at just how much we enjoyed our time in Vancouver. We knew we’d have a good time but we didn’t expect to both fall in love with the West coast…

Last Few Days – Episode 20

The trip is quickly coming to an end. Four weeks have flown by and we only have a few remaining days to explore and enjoy Vancouver. There is a list of things we still want to do and are going to have to make some tough decisions on what we will be able to fit…

Day in the Life – Episode 19

Normally we show you just the highlights of our day working remotely. Living in Vancouver working for a company in Toronto gives me great flexibility timezone wise, getting my work done in the morning, being able to close the laptop around 2pm to go our exploring. And that’s where we generally pick up the camera,…

Classical Chinese Garden – Episode 18

It’s not often on a trip to somewhere faraway that you have the opportunity for a do-over, but luckily for us we got the chance. Nicole loves Chinese gardens and there is a famous one in Vancouver, but unfortunately it’s been under repair during our visit. Because of that we passed on a visit earlier…

We’re Getting Smarter – Episode 17

The long weekend has been a busy one, definitely feeling like a looong weekend. For Monday, our long weekend bonus day, we decided to keep it chill and low-key and recharge a little bit. We were headed into our last week in Vancouver and wanted to make sure we’d have the energy to close out…

Returning to Stanley Park – Episode 16

Visiting the Vancouver Aquarium – Episode 15

As soon as we decided on Vancouver, literally 5 minutes after committing, my mind went to one specific spot. I’d wanted to go to this spot ever since I was a kid, watching an old CBC TV show called Danger Bay and going through a phase of wanting to be a marine biologist. I almost…

Easing into the Long Weekend – Episode 14

Not quite how you want to start a long weekend, but I was, a little on the rough side. Lack of quality sleep was catching up to me and after finishing my day of work I was done. It was a chore to get out there to explore Vancouver, but with Nicole’s help we made…

Looking Down From Grouse Mountain – Episode 13 Part 2

We had a good start to the day in episode 1 and after a great sushi lunch we were off to part two. We decided on another suggestion from our Airbnb host, a right of passage of sorts for adventurous Vancourites he said. It is also famously part of the training camp for Vancouver’s hockey…

Suspended Over Capilano – Episode 13 Part 1

Our time in Vancouver was quickly coming to an end and it was time to turn up our tourist activities. On this Thursday we did exactly that, taking a day off work and heading out to a few tourist spots on the North side of Vancouver. It was the reason we rented a car the…
