Sea to Sky Gondola – A Magical and Transformative Experience

by Leave a Comment

To say that experiencing the Sea to Sky Gondola was a transformative experience, would be an understatement.

It’s hard not to feel all the things I most love feeling: alive, free, adventurous, exploratory, and joyful, when I’m spending time in nature. Doing so in a whole new setting over 800 metres above sea level (even higher than the Stawamus Chief trail I’d hiked a few years ago, which is nearby and can be seen from the top of the gondola and a viewing platform) increases those feelings ten-fold.

I really had a great day enjoying the trails, views, and delicious food that the Sea to Sky Gondola offers.

Read on to see why a trip to the Sea to Sky Gondola is a magical/transformative experience any time of the year. [Read more…]

Vancouver Winter Bucket List

by Leave a Comment

What is there to do in Vancouver during winter? With mild winters (compared to most of Canada), a large population of people who enjoy partaking in outdoor activities, and Whistler (the ski-bum capital of B.C.) so closeby, there are plenty of things to do outside during the winter months.

It may seem ironic that, despite having spent my teenage years in Calgary, Alberta—known for its crazy-cold winters—I haven’t really embraced winter sports or activities in the past.

As part of my goal to “embrace the season,” I’m going to really take full advantage of the winter season this year.

But, if you’re terrified of camping, I hope you’ll give it a try after you read this post.

Where to go Berry Picking in Vancouver

by Leave a Comment

Few things get me more excited about the long, hot days of summer more than the arrival of summer fruits at my local grocery stores and farmer’s markets. While I love buying fresh fruits from farmer’s markets a lot more than from big grocery stores, because I feel like I’m tasting all the love that went into growing the produce, there’s nothing quite like picking my own fruits from a farm.

I first experienced the joy of a U-Pick berry farm in London, Ontario while visiting a friend’s family. Everyone, including all the young children went out to pick strawberries. It was so much fun choosing each berry and placing it into my bucket. It was even more fun eating the freshly picked strawberries soon afterward — cut up and eaten with vegan vanilla ice cream.
