I grew up in Winnipeg, MB...a smaller, laid back, kinda slower paced kinda city. During my childhood and adolescent years, my parents would send my sister and I to Vancouver to visit our cousins and other fam during summer holidays. I have ALWAYS loved BC and always will. I'm thankful and proud to have called Vancouver home.
It's the pace of the city, the mountains, the beaches, the food, the culture, the shopping, everything!!!!
Vancouver wasn't only my home, it was my FIRST home away from home, from living in my parent's house. It was a milestone moving out to the coast. I had recently graduated with my degree and was ready to start my nursing career. I was fortunate enough to get a cute lil condo right in the heart of Vancouver. YALETOWN! Steps away from downtown, the beach, Granville Island....LOVED living there.
Vancouver is considered by many to be the best place to live on earth. Other than the high price of living there, IT REALLY IS THE BEST FUCKING PLACE TO LIVE.
I left (maybe just for the meantime) cause as they say. . .happiness is only real when shared. I have some great friends in Vancouver but I missed my immediate fam and Chris! I made the decision to come to Raleigh to take a new route in my career and of course be with mi amor and closer to his fam.
So, here's a visual of just SOME of the things I miss and love about Vancouver.
Starting with the view from my condo ( BC Place, parts of the water/science world) and my bathroom sink *tear*:
The mountains, especially Grouse cause I climbed that sunnovabitch a few times!
FOOOOOOOOOD!! The food in Vancouver is AMAZING. I've got some pics but go to vancouverslop.com instead!
Ok, pause. I'm a few glasses of vino in and trying to post pics is a lot more daunting of a task than I thought. Maybe I'll come back to this but for now. . .if you haven't been Vancouver, PLEASE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
