Home in Vancouver

After a ton of travel in 2025, I’m back in Vancouver for the winter! A few Vancouver facts for those of you who’ve yet to visit:

• Vancouver is so geographically dramatic that people regularly forget it’s a city and not a national park with Wi-Fi.
• It has one of the mildest winters in Canada, which residents proudly mention while quietly forgetting the nine straight months of rain.
• Real estate prices are high enough that “ocean view” often means “if you lean out the window and squint between two condos.”
• Vancouverites will happily drive two hours to hike a mountain, then complain bitterly about a 15-minute commute.
• The city has been “discovered” so many times (gold rushers, hippies, film crews, tech workers) that no one is entirely sure who was here first – or who can still afford to be.
