    We had NO IDEA how awesome Vancouver, Canada is! Great food, Asian influence, strong coffee, kind people, and today it was all topped off with beautiful fall weather! We spent the entire day biking around the city for the first time. We drove from our campsite in the middle of Vancouver to Stanley Island and drove along the beautiful coastline. Next we went to the Granville market for lunch and had a scary encounter in Chinatown. Lastly, we quickly checked out Gastown, then booked it home before the sunset on our bikes!

    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this RUclips channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

      Mr. Nate and Mrs. Kara, I agree that Vancouver is the best Canadian destination to visit. I'm so glad you guys visited there because you can't imagine how beautiful Vancouver is, not to mention what is it like to visit or live there. Personally, I visited there last year with my family and it was like being in the filming locations. I would nominate this vlog. In conclusion, I want to wish you, Nate and Kara, a very good luck on your upcoming journey vlog. 😃😉👍

      IKR! Anytime one of my AirBnB guests that stay with me ask about Chinatown I roll my eyes and clinch my teeth. It's always conflicting for me to explain cause locals know avoid it but without trying to discourage my traveling guests because they always read about it and want to explore that area. If anyone who is coming here to Vancouver honestly my advice is to skip Chinatown altogether just put it out of your mind the DTES (Downtown East Side) is no place for tourists or even us local residents to wonder around in. There are far better places to explore and enjoy!

      I wish Chinatown did something like paint the curbs so that people could know that if they no longer see a painted curb, they should turn around. Vancouver's Chinatown is FAMOUSLY near-impossible to navigate without getting turned around at Main and Hastings, even for BC locals.

    Hey guys! As someone who has grown up in Vancouver my entire life I am happy you got to experience the city on a nice sunny day. It truly is a wonderful place filled with a great community of people. But yes, we do have some lower income areas that you seemed to stumble apon. Vancouver's DTES (downtown east side) is one of the largest strips of poverty in all of north america. However it is a functioning community that has a relatively low crime rate and a strong sense of family. The reason for this area is largely due to other areas in Canada simply being too cold for homeless people to survive, therefore Vancouver's climate makes it somewhat livable. Just wanted to give a bit of background on the area, which I know can be a shock to tourists! Happy you got to visit this wonderful part of Canada.

    Knowing the distances involved between the north shore and Granville Island I'm impressed with how much ground you covered by bicycle in a few hours and still allowed time to stop for photos & videos. I'm also glad your visit coincided with the best part of the fall weather! Granville Island used to pure industry for the bulk of the 20th century, and when it was revitalized to what you see now it found a much appreciated second purpose that helped facilitate False Creek being cleaned up. There are occasions now when whales even venture into those waters. As for the Chinatown experience you likely didn't see the more interesting parts of Old Chinatown (as mentioned by others Richmond has surpassed this now) but it does have plenty of history. Chinatown and Gastown are separated by the downtown east side, which as you perhaps experienced does have an abundance of addicts, dealers, and street people coping with mental health issues. It's the poorest neighborhood in one of the wealthiest cities, but again as noted that doesn't mean there isn't an abundance of very kind and decent people there too. You'll have to make it back one day for a longer visit and to try some different food!

      I lived in metro Van for a couple of years. It was a dope little neighborhood just north of Hastings, just inside Burnaby. Hastings was pretty much my main route into the city.
      I was warned against spending much time off Hastings, especially around the east side, when I first got to town. I never had an issue, though.
      Believe me when I tell you that the sketchier parts of Vancouver are head and shoulders beyond safer than some of the neighborhoods in Atlanta I've lived in.
      Seriously, with some of the third world countries these two have waltzed through blissfully, I somehow highly doubt Chinatown is one of the sketchier areas they've been to. Also, the classic chinese garden is dope as AF.

    Sounds like you hit ground zero for the fentanyl crisis that has over taken North America. So sad.i like your analogy of the different places that Vancouver reminds you of! Lived there for 15 years. It truly is a fantastic city. Especially when the festivals are in full swing. The seasons also add another layer to its charm! So glad you are enjoying! ❤️🇨🇦🙏

Beautiful flight, no turbulence, it is a bit loud inside but man, you can't beat 35 mins, downtown to downtown. Fun fact, the luggage is stowed in the floats!
