Vancouver is home to some great cafes – if you know where to look. With a chain outlet on nearly every corner, finding somewhere with a bit of character can be tough. But it’s worth it.
Vancouver is such a photographic city – especially when the weather is good. It’s a very scenic destination and so I’ve gone a tad crazy on Instagram. Enjoy my favourite pictures from my Canadian home.
Stanley Park is a 1000-acre playground on the fringes of downtown Vancouver. Enjoy my favourite pictures from popular running routes along the picturesque Seawall and park trails. Oh and there’s squirrels.
For weeks people have been asking how I feel about being in Vancouver. For a while, my answer (when I had one) wasn’t very positive. Returning to “real life” was hard, and it took me a while to accept it.
Expectations are a funny thing, especially when travelling. But what happens when you have no idea what’s around the corner, therefore no expectations? In my experience, it’s led to some of the best moments of my travels so far.

My little SGTC tea cup has travelled about 5000km since leaving Vancouver three weeks ago. Actually so have I. Funny that. But once we touched down at St. John’s Airport in Newfoundland, my teacup and I found a new way to travel: by car. I hadn’t driven since…
Never have I spent a chilly evening toasting marshmellows in the living room of a hostel. But then I didn’t find Lead Cove Hostel to be an ordinary hostel. As a seasoned hostel guest, I’ve become accustomed to the whole routine: check in, get wifi code, find bunk,…
Another wet and foggy day in Newfoundland. This comes after the island has received two weeks of glorious weather, so I’m told by the locals. Thanks. Today I’m returning to St. John’s, but I don’t want to double up on the route I took yesterday so I head…
