vancouver city beautiful Place. very nice amazing video👍💯💖😍 delicious foods😋👍💯
Very nice video. Love the variety in your A and B roll.
It's been so long since I've been back to Vancouver, almost 25 years! Were planning on going through there in late July on a long circle from Portland to Yellowstone and through Canada. You've done Vancouver proud with your video and given me some great ideas on new places to go. Thanks for another awesome video, Christine! ❤
+Jay Dollarhide I'm jealous! Sounds like it'll be fun road tripping. It’s for outside the city if you get a chance. Nature is super gorgeous there.
Yer giving future tourists a excellent view of my hometown, thank you so much!
I've been staying in vancouver for five months! I really enjoyed your video. Thx! 😀😀
Congrats on 5 months👍! Did you find an apartment? 😃
My office is right on Granville Street and it's so fascinating seeing it from a tourist's perspective! Love your videos - hope you enjoyed Vancity :)
I just went there last month, I love it there !
Welcome to Vancouver. Enjoy your Vlog.
Super helpful I went to Van city last summer and I loved it. Would've been nice to have watched this guide before hand.
Vancouver is such a great place to visit. We use to live downtown and our favourite place to walk around was Stanley Park. Thank you for sharing!
Such a beautiful city you lived in!
Definitely going to visit Vancouver this year! I’m from Toronto, and I’ve always wanted to go
Absolutely enjoyed your video! Must visit Vancouver some day! 😀
The gun that goes off every night at 9:00 PM really is a small cannon. I live beside Stanley Park and can see (and hear) it from my balcony. Its official name is the Nine o' Clock Gun and it even has its own Twitter account. He tweets a single word every night at 9PM: BOOM! True story.
That's awesome- it's own twitter account!!! I wonder why 9pm though?
GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa - the timing is mostly historical but the reason they fired it was to allow ships to synchronize their chronometers.
Fascinating Manny. First time I’m hearing about something like that. I’m sure the US must’ve had their version maybe but cool Van preserves the tradition.
So basically a carbon copy of the Halifax Cannon?
And it is called The 9 O'Clock Gun...original huh
Wonderfully filmed; feels so calm and collected watching.
Great video...I ❤️ Vancouver! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for filming Vancouver! I miss my hometown
That Canyon is very verdant. I've never seen a forest that green before. Fairy grass is what it is!
Tim Hortons is good but it’s more like a Starbucks but if you go to North Vancouver you can find this amazing doughnut shop called Harmony’s Doughnuts far better than Tim Hortons in my opinion. Further more in Deep Cove there is another excellent doughnut place called Honeys Doughnuts. Finally in Vancouver you can find two more tourists attractions one is the Vancouver Aquarium and another is Science World which looks like a big globe. Sorry for the long comment, I understand you can’t visit all of Vancouver in just a few days. To the person reading this comment thank you! I hope you are having a great day!
Thanks for sharing this!!! It will be helpful for others. 😃💕
I heard the aquarium has a rehab program for marine life- it was something I wish I had time to explore.
Just a small correction: First Nations is the term for our indigenous peoples across the country (other than Métis and Inuit), not a specific tribe or nation. 👍🏻
Thanks for your correction Bernadette! I❤ . I'll make that correction in my written travel blog guide.
WRONG, THE TERM IS ESKIMO
I just caught that too.
Great video. Vancouver is only bucket list.
I'm on the other part of globe. Never been in Canada. Don't know why, but I love Vancouver from the videos and write ups. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for the tour and hopefully you come back during the summer.
I hear summer is wonderful in Vancouver. Wish I were there for the Richmond festival right now, though! That would be my bucket list.
First of all, I appreciate the time it took you to bring this video to viewers like me. The first part of the video reminds me of your EPIC Canadian road trip. I'll have to check out your blog to read more about the trip and where you went. I do like the cross-promotion you are doing for your blog here. Again, thank you. Great video!
+Ryan Stevens All part of the same flight ticket with the exception I got to extend my stay!
yeah, I try to put a city guide blog post out - there’s specific details of who I used, where I stayed, admission, how to get there, etc. etc.
+Ryan Stevens Thanks! Vancouver BC was my hub for the Arctic trip - upon my return I requested an extendee layover in Vancouver
Occasionally I get comments asking for trip guide details. Viewers forget to check description boxes for links to related guides.
Wow, Vancouver looks like such an interesting place to visit. Looks like it was cold when you visited. The mountain areas look so peaceful and green. Would love to visit! Nice video! I 🌸😁
I took the same tour you took when I was in Vancouver! So pretty
My husband and I visited Vancouver two years ago and we visited many places that you did on this trip. I find Vancouver very similar to San Francisco(as you mentioned), and it felt like "home". Great video, thanks Christine.
Happy 2021, C! Watching this video again provides me with a few ideas and new places to introduce to you the next time you're in town. 👍🏽
Aww definitely! Looking forward to visiting Vancouver when things open up again!!! I enjoyed my time there and was nice to finally meet in person😃
It's great that you enjoyed Vancouver. It is great to come back during the summer
Haha I love your profile pic
Fetus Brendon is an experience
summertime is the best in van
Very informative, thank you
Travelling to Vancouver in 2 days, thanks for the video!
How was/is it :D!?
How was it?! I'm going in November!
@@yelisbetlucero9955 I go in 11 days 😁 Wishing you all the best for your trip
@@JeandrePetzer have fun!!! If you don't mind let me know how it goes! I'm nervous about transportation over there!
Wonderful to see what you managed to explore and sample here during your visit. I'm glad the weather did not dampen your enthusiasm! Hawaiians actually played vital roles in BC history, going back to the late 1700's - early 1800s, and there's areas like Fort Langley and Kanaka Creek in Maple Ridge (less than an hour outside of Vancouver) that have historical plaques commemorating this.
Been to many of the places you showed but thanks for the additional great ideas.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR VIDEO, Excellent Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great tips!! I hope we get to explore our city like this again sometime soon.
I never knew I needed a Japadog in my life till this video! I think I shall put Vancouver on the future travel wish list! Those suspension bridges freak me out just a little bit...
Hey, hey the first truck in Hawaii is gonna be bomb! You want in??? Lol. 🤙🏾
haha this is an awesome video. I've wondered what Vancouver was all about.
Loved it and I used to live in Lynn Valley near the Canyon for many years. When I first moved to Vancouver in 1996, Lynn Canyon was not very busy and was really just for locals. However, because it got mentioned in a guidebook at some point it is now so popular that it is impossible to find a parking spot in the summer time. ....and yes, I have seen bears all around that area in the daytime - but never a cougar - they are around but the only time you see one will be the last time you see one!
i'am going to vancouver and saw your video it will help me a lot thank you for nice content :)
Have fun! Check out my blog- it has a written van travel guide with more detailed information. 😉
@@grrrltraveler i will check thank youu ❤️
Your video is informative and interesting, plz continue.
Glad you enjoyed Mihir!
Yay! You were here!!
Quote of the day: "I can feel my thighs growing right now, this is so good!" LOL Vancouver is on my bucket list to travel to and watching this keeps it there. Thanks!
+C Smiggee lol If you're planning- this time of year is awesome. Richmond food festival is going on and the foods are insanely innovative.
Also following up from your Community feedback- you had good stuff to think about. Feel free to send your ideas- contact on my YT About page or on website. 👍
Thanks for sharing very nice tour
Thanks for watching Nyla
Thank you so much for the recommendation of Landsea Tours. I have booked their Vancouver Delights tour and Sunset Dinner Cruise because of you! So excited ✌
Cool! I did a quick review on my blog guide. They won't hold your hand and time can feel hurried in some areas. But they cover a massive amount within a day on that delights tour! Lmk how the sunset Cruise goes.
Try to experience some of the iconic foods if you get the chance! 😃
@@grrrltraveler Hey! My trip went great, and thank you again for the LandSea Tours recommendation. We covered so much ground on just the first day (i.imgur.com/tZIFaRt.png
Nice video! I am new to Vancouver and this video will be helpful for me. I'll be checking out those places to try to make my own videos. Thanks a lot :)
I live in the valley now and never go there anymore...big trip down memory lane... thanks :)
City energy is different from burbs and parking must be a challenge. It's how I'd feel about downtown Honolulu or Waikiki.😆
I'm so so confused on why your view count is so low :( it makes me so sad. I'm still here watching, never miss a video ♡
Thanks for watching! Makes me very sad too. 🙁
Maybe coz most people go directly to Facebook now instead of RUclips - she should repost old videos with low views more often. Timing the posting on FB is also tricky - I only hv time to watch videos late at night (esp long ones like hers) so if she posted earlier in the day, it would be all the way at the bottom of my FB feed which I may not get too b4 I fall asleep.
I took a short nap after dinner 😁 so I’m wide awake now & would be binging on her older videos tonight. All her food reviews r making me so hungry tho 😩
I think you got it all in this video!
You know Fred, there was even more that I could've edited in, but it was long as it was and intensive edit (pre assistant)- shhh
It was a tight edit. I will watch again.
You are very lovely love your reactions and commentary! I am looking for videos to send to a friend and yours are perfect thank you
Thanks- so glad you enjoyed!
I've stayed in several hostels around Canada and US, never had a bad experience in my 50 and 60s.
Love it. Next time go to main street!
Krista, perhaps the trick is deciding which *part* of Main Street to begin. 😉
That tune, you mentioned, sounds like the alien spaceship from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
How are you not getting MORE views and LIKES on this video? Are people just ignorant about the amount of quality work this is? Can I do anything to help?
Thanks.❤️ You can help me by sharing with travel interested friends and online travel communities you're in! Get more travelers here. 😃
It’s not out of ignorance. For me, I only get to watch YT videos if I see her post on FB (but I’m following so many FB groups that I don’t get to see all new posts!!) And sometimes, even if I see her post - I may skip watching the videos ‘coz I know her vids hv a lot of content so they would be too long for the amount of time I hv on certain times esp. during daytime.!
For any one that just wants to tour around on the cheap , you can use the sky train which takes you from the sea bus terminal downtown out to the suburbs including vancouvers largest mall on those dark wet days, and to many bus stations which give access to many parks, beaches fresh water and ocean , lakes rivers , hiking trails, also seattle is close by , you can also take the city bus to the ferry terminal , then on a ferry boat to victoria bc which is a 1 hour 40 minute boat ride, then catch another city bus to down town victoria ,
Thanks for sharing @squamishfish!!
@@grrrltraveler no problem, also a another part of metro Vancouver has the largest east Indian community outside of India the place is called surrey, but like the rest of metro Vancouver you can go any where and get multi cultural food korean, filipino , Vietnamese, Japanese, and European, this is what makes vancouver great for cuisine, over half of the 2.8 million is Asian
Super show!!! I am from New Delhi
I HAVE DELHI BELLY
Thanks for the video. I'm new here and travelling solo from Ireland, so i'm gonna try to experience these things as well! Any tips for solo travelling in Vancouver?
I’m an American who misses traveling. Watching travel vlogs is the next best thing. I visited Toronto back in the summer of 2019 and had a blast. Once I’m able to travel again, I’d like to visit Canada’s other great city.
Overall, I enjoyed this. I just wish that you slowed down and let the viewers stop and smell the roses. It seemed like you were rushing from place to place.
Give us more Christine!
Great video summary for a first brush of city and area!
0:28 The Private Residences at Hotel Georgia. It seems a number out-of-town actors stay in the condos there while they're filming series in the area. I learned that from Instagram. 😎
1:11 That Starbucks Reserve Bar (West Pender/Granville) used to be Tip Top, a men's clothing store ☕️
2:50 Aaaaaaaaand you’ve just summarized why there’s a lot of filming in Vancouver. That, and the appropriate (im)balance between our respective currencies.
6:25 Construction of the Lions Gate Bridge was financed by the Guinness family: Sláinte! 🍺
14:40 “… and moist. Under that canopy? Very, very moist.” 🌲
15:10 He looks awfully familiar, and I dare say, more awful than familiar … 😬
18:30 Tim Horton was a hockey player who began his NHL career with the Toronto Maple Leafs. In the midst of his playing career with the Leafs, he opened the first eponymous donut shop in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario.
19:10 Entering public circulation in November 2018, Viola Desmond is the first African-Canadian person and the first Canadian woman to appear on Canadian currency.
+Henry Lee Lol. Watching the footage as I edit it I realize that you’re quite a historian Henry! I am copy and pasting this for my blog guide on the city. This is all great stuff! 🙏🙏🙏
@@grrrltraveler You're very welcome, Christine. Please come back soon, and we'll discover some more about the area. 😎
When are you coming to Ottawa....the capital? lol show you around!used to live in Van....miss it so much
What is the name of the bakery with those delicious looking cupcakes at the beginning of the video? Those sweets look so good!
It will be one of the vendors listed in this video. 😋
I like you video but I need a question how much is the hotel you staying 👍Thanks 👍
I got a very nice and affordable hotel on the pier. You guys should check it out !
This woman definitely knows what she's doing
Just a small correction: First Nations is the term for our indigenous peoples across the country (other than Métis and Inuit), not a specific tribe or nation.
Great video by the way Quay is pronounced "key"
yes, in British English ... in American English is "kuei" ... please, a Vancouver citizen who help us! :)
I've been to most of these places
i live here do u
Hi Christine! thanks for share! just one question...When did you record your video exactly? (november, december?)
Dec on my way back from my Arctic Ocean BC trip. 😁
@@grrrltraveler thanks Christine!
For me it's the other way around. The older I get, the more I seeks for party hostels!
Pretty clean in some places maybe. Not the suburbs and certainly not East Hastings
Is it raining? Looks a bit cloudy for mid summer.
+Dream Walker Dec after my Arctic trip
Dream Walker
Actually...it was almost Christmas time.
okay now I am severely curious. How many years ago did you record this vlog?
+ht3oldnavy what were the last 2 countries I traveled and ask yourself how many people are editing ALL the footage I film on them.
Do the math.
@@grrrltraveler If memory serves me right your last two were including this one was USA alaska ( then there was india). and to the best of my faded memory your the only person doing your editing, producing, travelling, explorations, opening doors to wondrous new worlds while I make sure I wear a helmet before you blow my mind. I ask because two "easter eggs" you showed that had me scratching my temple.
It was last Dec by the looks. I live Downtown and one of the buildings that was under construction is still being worked on. So I’d say 99% last Dec 2018
I've been living here in Vancouver almost in my entire life. I don't see anything that's what so enjoyable about it.
Seems like most if these blogs do not mention costs of what they see, do & eat. Granted prices constantly change but costs is what matters most of the time that's why people watch for info for basis. Yeah, It's nice to see sights but will it break my bank account to visit ?
I want to go to Canada. is it Hard?
Should have went down to Tower beach and see all the old WW2 towers.... lol
🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
😍😘🤗👏👏👍👍
Quay is pronounced "key" one of those odd words :P
Top things to do in Vancvouer- 1. Get Naked on Wreck Beach 2. Smoke Drugs on East Hastings .... and repeat. That's literally all I did living there for 20 years.
05:09 😂😂
Wish I had thighs that could react like that. Beyonce body in one serving.
Isn't RUclips a brilliant invention you can just sit in your armchair in the north east of England and see places which you will probably never see in your lifetime
@Max Drew well I wasn't on about that like but I suppose you have a point but I was just talking about people in general
summon jerky
Are you Native American?
wanted to see more or the city not the visitor.
You forgot "file a police report after your car is broken into".
Hey!!! When are you gonna settle down and get married!!???

Why do I think Asian Women are So Beautiful.
Sorry, too many shots of you.
Count the Asians?
TOO MANY CHINESE PEOPLE IN VANCOUVER
@@fartknocker132 send them back.
@@aguafria9565 I DON'T KNOW HOW.
I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherland, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. I'm so sorry for Canada. Canadian and Canadian Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe or the United States. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beach. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country. Canada is the best place in the world.
