Vancouver Travel Vlog: what life is like in Canada & what to eat in Vancouver 2024

My Vancouver travel vlog consisted of a TON of eating and shopping in Vancouver, Canada! I went to Vancouver in 2021 but this time around we ate at new places :) Vancouver eats are delish and Vancouver has some of the best Asian food around (and that's coming from someone who lives in Los Angeles). In my travel vlog, I try to take you along with me as we eat some DELICIOUS Asian food!

I was born and raised in Vancouver and I loved this little tour. I enjoyed how beautiful you made it look. Sometimes Vancouver items take it for granted.

[@mayaleex3]

O Canada - ily 💕🇨🇦 hope you enjoy this travel vlog and seeing what life is like in Canada!

[@kevin19358]

I went to Vancouver for the 1st time last March, Stanley park and Chinatown (buy and eat Chinese food and it's so delicious and it's the best) is nice and awesome, but Gastown is dangerous, a lot of homeless on the street.

[@sherryinthemoment7338]

Oh Canada! So interesting to see my home city from a visitor's viewpoint.

[@wandabell2120]

"O Canada." Maya, thank you so very much for this video. I enjoyed it so very much! I have never had the priviledge of visiting Canada, however, you all made me feel as though I was there with you. God Bless and I hope to see you in the next one.

[@JCB671]

Haha if you want to visit Canada, you can visit India - it's the same thing

[@ClarissaRose]

O Canada! 😆 Thank you for this video and sharing these moments with us!!!!! Also that part where you came back for the camera was so cute lol!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@katiehamilton3915]

Oh Canada! this looked like such a fun girls trip! the little conversations had me chuckling more than once :) and that FOOD looked SO good!

[@abduong8]

Solid food choices! The rice roll and mango mochi spots are my all time favorites!

[@mayaleex3]

I’m still dreaming about it 🥲

First time watching your channel as a fellow Korean Christian and Vancouverite. It seems like you had a great time in my city. I've subscribed and liked your video. God bless!

[@roderickburns5151]

Hi Maya, beautiful video, so are you, Blessings to you and your family!!!!

[@thedisabledsocialworker]

I have Canadian family in BC. Aside from the fun chips, I am surprised you did not go for the classic Poutine! Also, for a "burger" joint, the White Spot was a childhood favorite of mine when I would visit my fam. So cool you got to see the country and how beautiful it is :).

[@mayaleex3]

Ahhh I tried it in my last Vancouver vlog so we wanted to hit more of the Asian food this time :)!! I’ll have to try a burger joint next time hehe

[@SOPHIADU-se9gl]

even though I lived in Vancouver you actually gave me some ideas on what to donor the weekend

[@anncheng784]

O Canada! I can't believe you came to my hometown :D I watch your videos every week. I live in Vancouver and work in Richmond so this video was so relatable!! You were definitely right to go to Lynn Canyon instead of Capilano Suspension, I think the trails are so much more natural there and the bridge is less scary--and of course it's free :) Next time you come you should try La forêt Cafe in Burnaby, it's easy to get to by transit and I think you would like the vibe :) God bless!

[@mayaleex3]

Awwww thank you so much for the rec!! I’m going to add it to my list hehe :3 I love Canada ❤

[@crossfitjohnathan9032]

This was the perfect thing to watch to destress after a long day right before bed. ☺️ O Canada!🤣

[@mayaleex3]

Goodnight 😴

[@urbtful]

So cool you also put your pre meal say grace time on your vlog. Bless yall.😇🙏🙏🙏

[@SchnuffiJames]

Thank you for visiting Canada, hope you had fun. As a home sick Canadian living abroad thanks. Come back.

[@mayaleex3]

Awww hope you get to come back and visit your home soon 🍁

[@tatianavelasco1335]

Another travel vlog! Love going to Richmond Public Market place so much, cannot wait to eat the asian food so so much

[@mayaleex3]

The Asian food was AH-MAZING 🥹 such hard working people, too!

[@moofeyy]

O Canada- going to Vancouver this weekend; will take some restaurants as recommendations! 😊

[@hafsa1723]

Love this type of video ❤😊

[@LifeInChroma]

Hi Maya 👋 I’m a Canadian too and I love Vancouver! We visit at least twice a year when we snag a flight deal as it is a short 1 hour flight.

[@rizzasanmateo4540]

Great food choices! I grew up in richmond and I’m surprised you went to richmond public market, that’s an OG spot!

[@mayaleex3]

Hei Hei Rice Roll was life changingly delicious! I want to go back and try all the other food stands there ❤

[@mayaleex3]

I heard that one is really good!! I’ll have to try that next timeeee

Hello! I'm Hailey, running a travel account from Vancouver :) I love your travel vlog of Vancouver❤

[@joelin70]

@2:25 - the Aritzia at Robson and Thurlow used to be one of the largest Starbucks locations in Vancouver about 10 years ago. FYI

[@mayaleex3]

Woooow!!

[@enkadude]

You Cali girls did good for being newbies to Lotus Land. I commend you on choosing Empire Dim Sum even though you only gave it a 6.5 😯 I think Rice Holic was a good find and ofc you cant go wrong with Miku salmon aburi. Oh yeah, great job not paying for ripoff Capilano Suspension Bridge.. well done ladies!

[@TerryPatterson-i4o]

Hopefully, I get to Vancouver one day. Looks beautiful!

[@reghvillena6372]

Wow! You're with Ms. Buildyourmoxie. Love it!

Just in time for a weekend trip to Vancouver ourselves… Thank you for sharing! By the way, what crossbody bag are you using? Seems like a good size for travel… Simple design, too!

[@mayaleex3]

I’m using Baggu :) I had the Uniqlo one which is slightly smaller and $14usd but the Baggu can fit my water bottle!

Very nice, now I need to go to Canada 😊

Make sure you bring cash because it has major shrinkflation

[@miyaelsewhere]

@@darlinspaces I love cash🤣

[@eleventree6668]

FYI, there is luggage storage service at the YVR, reasonable price.

[@mayaleex3]

Omgosh we should’ve done that 😭 in the states the luggage storage is so expensive

[@eleventree6668]

@@mayaleex3 they have it at the international arrival. Whenever you guys come to Vancouver again, check it out.

[@youaredoingwell_donotgiveup]

O Canada - love your videos

[@MzMBC-v5i]

Visit Steveston Village when in Richmond. Lots of great food and the best durian ice cream at B &P Ice Cream.

[@MegaMalik90]

What is the best Canadian food? Mango mochi and some Chinese takeaways, definitely.

[@mayaleex3]

Maybe poutine??
