Day Trips on Vancouver Island
After several weeks exploring California and a brief stop back in Vancouver, I decided to spend the month of May on Vancouver Island. I’d spent a weekend in Victoria back in November and had realised I definitely wanted to come…
Capilano River Park Hike | Vancouver
Winter in Vancouver is very rainy and grey, a fact I’ve come to accept. So when the sun came out on weekday off work, it was time to make the most of it. A lot of the higher altitude hikes…
Christmas Events in Vancouver
This year I had Christmas away from home for the very first time in my life. Having only moved to Canada in October, it was just too soon to be spending money on (expensive) flights home. Christmas is one of…

After my month on Vancouver Island, I returned to the mainland once more. Just in time for lots of visitors to arrive! I had a week back in Vancouver, first with my parents before they went to explore the island…
A Week in San Francisco, California
The final stop on my travels through California was a week-long stay in San Francisco. I also tacked on a weekend in Napa Valley too, which I nearly made into a separate post. But since it was only one day…
