Besides all the shopping scene in Vancouver, let us not forget about the Seattle Premium Outlet which is approximately 1 1/2 hour away from here!

When comes to shopping, I am a loner. I like the tactic of 'get-in & get-out'. Therefore, this past Saturday, out of impulse, I drove myself down to the Seattle Premium Outlet. I took out $500 USD and bravely went over to the US custom ...

The best way to get close and personal with Vancouver’s natural splendor is on a kayak. It’s quite a bit different than a canoe, yet it is safer. One of my first kayaking adventures brought me to Horseshoe Bay where my partner and I glided along the blue waters of the Sea to Sky Highway, all while enjoying the shore’s wildlife ...

You wake up Saturday morning to see the sun shining in a blue sky and you decide to go for a hike. You're not up for anything strenuous or too far away. Pacific Spirit Regional Park near UBC will do the trick.

It's a seeming endless network of trails that can take a half hour to walk or the better part of the day. It's basically a flat walk, so it's a great first ...

When most people think of Cypress Mountain, they think of skiing and snowboarding. But as summer approaches, and the sun finally breaks through the clouds, I suggest heading to Cypress for some hiking.

This past weekend, I took advantage of the half-overcast sky and headed to Cypress Mountain for a two-hour hike to Cypress Falls. With Dawn Hanna's trusty "Best Hikes and Walks of Southwestern B.C." in hand, my boyfriend and ...

I am not sure if I should write about 'not so good' restaurant reviews since my goal is to promote Vancouver. But I feel obligated to 'spread the words' if I do come across 'not so good' restaurants.

And today I must. The story is in the past few days I had been bed arrest due to an emergency surgery. Tired from staying indoor, and was well enough to walk a ...

The Bard will soon be back in town.

On the bill is: Timon of Athens, Taming of the Shrew, Julius Caesar, and Romeo and Juliet.

Like many cities, Vancouver's gay scene has a lot of actual venues specifically catering to the gay male population - men still earn more in general and tend to go out more often, thus supporting regular nightclubs and pubs.

There are however, a couple of major event companies that book ongoing lesbian oriented club nights and live music gigs. Check out these links below:

A trip to Bowen Island makes a fantastic excursion out of Vancouver, especially now the weather has improved.

Some of the most spectacular views can be seen from the North summit of Mt Gardner, as pictured above, but there is a fair hike before you can enjoy the scenery. From the ferry landing point at Snug Cove, it is around an 11km round trip to ...

Whistler Resort is set to construct a new lift. Unlike the Symphony Express Chair unveiled this year that opened up a thousand acres of new terrain, this one won't be to get up to a new set of runs. Instead, it will link the two mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb.  The "Peak to Peak Gondola" will set a height record, 415 metres (1,316 feet)  at its highest point, and run a length of 4.4 kilometres. The travel ...
