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)

Mr. Sushi

Simple neighbourhood sushi shop

The asparagus or mushroom rolls are ideal choices for vegans and vegetarians. For meat eaters, the beef teriyaki or spicy tuna and salmon rolls!

Angus T

Fun flavour croissants

My personal recommendations are the black sesame and earl grey croissants as they are pretty unique and not flavours you will find everywhere.

The Dominion Building

Standout piece of history

At the time, it was built in the finance district to house the Dominion Bank. When it was constructed, it was the tallest building in the British Empire.

Vancouver Library Rooftop

Garden and viewpoint

It has a calm, family friendly atmosphere, where children run around next to university students searching for study motivation in a different atmosphere.
