About me

About me
I’m Rebecca, and in 2023, I moved back to my home city of Vancouver after spending four years teaching English in Madrid, Spain. I discovered my passion for travel after my first girl guide trip at age fifteen and recently managed to complete my goal of visiting thirty countries before turning thirty. I love adventures both abroad and at home and exploring the suburbs of cities for hidden gems.

When I can’t escape to the next country on my to - visit list, I enjoy reading, hunting for street art and unique architecture, board games, and improving my Spanish.

Why Vancouver?
Vancouver has everything you need - a great selection of restaurants, the mountains, the beach, and the opportunity for various leisure activities. There is always something going on, whether it's a new restaurant opening, plays, or concerts.

My spots (21)

Fun Alley

A hidden colourful hangout spot

Benches to sit on and watered plants show that Fun Alley was designed as a place for people to hang out, not just a place to glance at and keep going.

Grounds for Coffee

Best cinnamon buns in the city

While they are a cafe selling coffee and various baked goods, the main reason people come through the doors is to get one of their delicious cinnamon buns.
