The Serenity of Vancouver’s Outdoors
What do you love about where you live?
Nestled on the west coast of Canada is the vibrant city of Vancouver, a place I am fortunate enough to call home. Renowned for its accessibility to nature, one can drive just 30 minutes from the heart of the city and be greeted by the vast wilderness. The proximity to the ocean is yet another marvel, with ferries offering passage to Vancouver Island where one can encounter the wonder of local wildlife.
As one ventures further north, the hustle and bustle gradually fade, replaced by the tranquility of lesser-populated areas. Among the many gems I’ve discovered, a recent favorite is a secluded natural hot spring. Immersed in its warmth, I find solace gazing up at a starlit sky, accompanied by the gentle lull of a nearby river. It’s a sanctuary where the heart finds peace.
Set deep within the mountains, the cacophony of city life feels worlds away. There, mornings aren’t signaled by blaring sirens or honking cars, but by the soft rustling of leaves and the melodies of birdsong. While urban life has its conveniences, it often lacks genuine moments of reprieve. For me, the epitome of luxury isn’t found amidst the concrete jungles, but in being enveloped by nature – sipping wine with elegance, basking in a hot spring, and losing oneself in the symphony of the wild.
I’ve visited Vancouver before. It’s such an amazing place. Unfortunately we only had a few days there before we boarded our cruise, but I’d love to return and spend more time there.
So you visited on a cruise🚢. I’m aware that many cruise tourists come there. Are there any places that left a lasting impression on you? Also, did you go to places like Alaska on the cruise?
Our Alaska cruise began in Vancouver, so we only spent a day there before boarding the ship. I just remember loving the vibe of the city. I can see why people love living there
I love Vancouver! A beautiful city and place to live!
