FIRST TIME TRAVELLING TO VANCOUVER // 6-Day Travel Vlog (Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island)

[@wnose]

If you have a day to spare (and a car), I suggest packing a lunch and go nature exploring. Start at the Lynn Canyon Bridge (a free suspension bridge), then drive to Cleveland Dam. At the dam, walk down to salmon hatchery. If the timing is right, then you can even see the salmon spawn. If you're feeling energetic, the Grouse Grind is not far away. After that, drive on to Horseshoe Bay and explore a bit. The scenery is gorgeous. Then head north to Porteau Cove for more views. Shannon Falls is next and if Grouse Grind wasn't enough, you can hike up the Chief. (about 3+ hours). Finally, drive up to Tantalus lookout, then turn around and drive back to Vancouver. Try to time it so you can make it to the Quercus point in Murrin Provincial Park in time for sunset. The hike up there is pretty easy, takes about 30 minutes. So if sunset is 7, get started on the hike at 6pm. IMO, best sunset ever. Bring a flashlight because it'll be dark going down.

I just moved to Vancouver from Toronto on last Nov. for my retirement. I love this place very much. The weather is warmer than Toronto, and people are more friendly as well. Like your video. I will try to explore more beautiful places in BC. Take care.

[@AdultingwithAngela]

Yes, I hope you explore a lot of BC, it is beautiful!!

[@ej5000]

I'm from Toronto never been to Vancouver but I really want to go seems like such a chill place

[@janiceho6034]

Right choice

[@paulauyenaka2079]

Wow Angela your video was such a treat! The footage is gorgeous and the editing is awesome. You hit some great spots - and yes it rains here quite a bit! I especially love that you and your intrepid parents chose to share this adventure! And that you are foodies. Look forward to enjoying the rest of your videos. Thank you!

[@AdultingwithAngela]

Aww thank you Paula! You're so sweet :)

She makes my life better while watching her videos

[@AdultingwithAngela]

Haha thank you!

[@gardenofe12]

Thank you for visiting my city !! One day in Victoria is NOT enough !! You needs a minimum of 2-3 days even for us locals !! The ferry ⛴ itself costs over $100 one way so you need to make it worthwhile. Hope you had a great time on the Island for the day though.

[@AdultingwithAngela]

Yes, it was a lot of fun, but I would have loved to have stayed for longer. Do you have any other recommendations for Victoria?

[@claraeditacandini9001]

Just from the very first 3 minutes, I knew that your channel deserves more attention!! Hope you keep on uploading new videos!!

[@jacksonwong1408]

Great video! Its very awesome to see people really enjoy their time in Vancouver and on the island. As a Vancouverite who has been to most of the places (especially the Holiday Inn Colwood and taking the ferry a few times a month) in the video, it's definitely encouraging to me to appreciate the things that is everyday to me =)

[@AdultingwithAngela]

aw thanks for sharing jackson!

Hi Angela. I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful video! I actually used it as a guide for our road trip last February. We took the same ferry’s to and from Vancouver Island, had the double baked almond croissant at Thomas Haas (divine!), went to Lynn Canyon and even stayed at the same SureStay hotel. All great recommendations. Only major difference was that we had added Tofino to our itinerary, which was also fantastic. Thanks again!!

[@AdultingwithAngela]

Hi Marieke! Thank you so much for your kind words :) It makes me so happy to hear that my travels have inspired and helped others with their trips. I hope you had an amazing trip ❤️

Wow Angela you were only 10 mins from where i live In Parksville. You need to come back in the Summer and the goats will be on the roof! I love living in BC! I grew up in Surrey BC but I've also lived in Saskatchewan and Alberta then the North end of Vancouver Island before moving to Parksville BC.

[@michaelroy6630]

Great vid! Lots of things that even I as a Vancouverite haven't checked out yet. Also so beautiful to see different parts of the city at Christmas time: you've got me excited already even though it's 6 months away :P Glad you and your fam enjoyed our beautiful city!

[@brandonpeniuk]

Hey Angela, First off, Tacofino hits different. Once a year, I fly in from Calgary to Vancouver and take the ferry across to Victoria. I will be going to Van Island in May 2024. It's too bad you couldn't stay for longer in Victoria. Well, there is always next time. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Stay blessed.

She said she’s a student. She need to learn to make a few videos not jam everything together like this!!!!

how's the parking situation in the city? do you recommend using public transport or renting a car? thank you :)

Thank you so much for the video. I've never been to Vancouver and was planning a trip with the family. Do you recommend getting a rental car or is the public transit pretty good there? I heard that parking at the hotels are very expensive, and that's why I ask. Thanks in advance.

[@AdultingwithAngela]

Hi! Parking downtown is very expensive, but if your hotel has free parking, I would definitely recommend renting a car so that you can get to more places like I did. If not, the public transit system is not a bad option either :)
