Kayaking in Vancouver



sea-kayak-152.jpg
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 ...

Stomp @ Center for Performing Art



I just had surgery and am currently ordered by my doctor and my fiancé to stay in bed which is a perfect time to catch up on my writing.

Pre-surgery we had a chance to catch the show STOMP at the Center for Performing Art. I was super excited to see STOMP again. The first time I "enjoyed" STOMP was at a super small theatre in New York and it ...

Girl/Girl: Best Lesbian Club Events



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 ...
