Spend on Experiences !!! Make memories all over the world...

Embarking on a road trip from Vancouver to Whistler along the scenic Sea to Sky Highway is an unforgettable experience that showcases the best of British Columbia's natural beauty and vibrant culture.

We began our journey at 9 am on 25th June, leaving Vancouver behind to embark on a breathtaking adventure. As we hit the open road, we were met with stunning coastal vistas, lush forests, and charming towns that dotted the landscape.

**Pit Stop 1: Shannon Falls Provincial Park**
Our first stop was Shannon Falls Provincial Park, where we marveled at the grandeur of Shannon Falls, cascading down the cliffs in all its splendor. The short hike to the viewing platform was well worth it, and the roaring waterfalls left us in awe of nature's power.

**Pit Stop 2: Britannia Mine Museum**
Next, we delved into British Columbia's mining history at the Britannia Mine Museum. Exploring the historic mine, we learned about the region's mining heritage and the challenges faced by early miners. The highlight was the thrilling underground tour, taking us deep into the heart of the mountain.

​Hi everyone, it's been a few weeks since I moved to Vancouver and I thought I'd share my observations and experiences so far. As a newcomer, I've had to adapt to the city's unique characteristics and learn how to navigate its quirks. Here are some of my observations:

1. Subdued Nightlife
One thing I noticed right away is that nightlife in Vancouver is typically more subdued compared to other big cities. This is likely due to the city's strict licensing and health & safety laws, which restrict standing in bars and limit capacity. While this might be a downside for some, I appreciate the city's focus on safety and responsible drinking.


2. High Homeless Population
Another thing I've noticed is the high homeless population in Vancouver. It's one of the mildest cities in Canada, so it attracts homeless individuals from all over the country. The area of East Hastings, where many of them congregate, is one of Vancouver's darker secrets. While it's disheartening to see so many people struggling, I'm also impressed by the city's efforts to provide support and resources for the homeless population.


3. Expensive Cost of Living
It's no secret that Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities to live in North America. The cost of living here is significantly higher than other Canadian cities, which can be a challenge for newcomers. However, I've found that there are ways to save money, such as taking advantage of free events and exploring the city on foot or bike instead of relying on cars.

Hi there, welcome to my blog!
It has been ages since I got back to writing. My desk is overlooking a wide window allowing sunlight to open my thoughts to be penned today.​

​I am here to share my journey of living in different cities around the world. I left my hometown in 2008 for studies and since then, I have stayed in 4 cities and called them my home. My present city is Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

​Starting a new life with my wife here wasn't an easy decision. I left my job in Nigeria, my comfortable life, and started to rebuild my life in a new city. It was a big step but one that we were excited to take. We have been wanting to live like this ever since.

The city of Vancouver has been so welcoming for us. I like the pace of life here. It is slow and rewarding at the same time. However, life is demanding too, and one should not let their nonchalant ways of life take over here. There is a very thin line between having a slow life and being laid back. It has been over a month now (at the time of writing this article), and I am still adjusting to the new city.
