I saw that a lot of locals said do not go to Lee’s donuts. I think I’ll find a small donut shop.

@natureboy790I'm from Germany and I was in Vanvoucer (and Vancoucer Island) in June and miss it so much. Its so nice to see your video! :)
@franzi4288Was in Vancouver last fall and haven't stopped thinking about it since. Great video!
@Kweku0I am planning a visit to Vancouver and Toronto. I wanted to move from the U.S.
@JPho07Going here soon! Appreciate the thorough walkthrough
@wintonfThanks for sharing! I just got to Vancouver this week, and it's my first time in Canada. 5:25 the way this popped up HAHAHA. Honestly, one of the gems of solo travelling is the diabolical photos random people take for you 🤣
@Sharon-ym3koThe only big city in Canada I haven't explored. I even considered living there, as I visit Asia frequently and Vancouver is closer. If it weren't so expensive and rainy, I would definitely consider living there.
Great video!
Recently found your channel and I love how authentic and relatable you are 🙌🏽 subscribed!

@jusTimeout❤❤❤
@musika2507Very cool video. I’d like to go to Vancouver. I know I would like it even without having been there yet. I’m originally from San Francisco and now live in Los Angeles but I hear Vancouver is very similar to San Francisco in the sense. It’s very walkable and it has a lot of natural beauty and it’s very green. I love LA of course because of the weather and there’s a lot to do the beaches, etc. but we don’t have a lot of good green spaces and even Griffith Park, which is wonderful Isn’t really like big parks and other cities. I definitely think I could live in Vancouver and the cold wouldn’t bother me as much because I was used to that growing up in San Francisco and living there for many years now that I live in LA I’m more sensitive to cold weather the one thing is I don’t think I would like it raining most of the timeas I have depression and the sunshine really keeps me active and happy but it’s such a cool looking city.
@Everything-1987-r4lThis gave me weekend inspo for sure 🌞
@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeamhi Celine, i live in Vancouver as well and same as you don't have people to travel with. My vibes are same as you as i also travel alone but hesitate to shoot my video like you. Can i join you in Vancouver for a city tour little bit. thanks

@stephanielake11Must have felt so good to go back home after a few years and explore. I remember when I went back to Edmonton where I was originally from and born it was refreshing & to see all the changes in Edmonton from the last time I was there were overwhelming but refreshing. I imagine going back to Vancouver was refreshing and exciting for you. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Great Video Celine
@Mike_Fahmybest feeling rediscovering your home town after spending time away. thanks for taking us along on a mini tour of Vancouver. BLESS nice strangers who offer to take photos but I have never walked away with a good photo before 😆
