My current partner has a personal connection to Vancouver, as it’s where he went to school and where most of his family lives. My ex-husband was born and raised in Vancouver, and most of his family still lives there, so British Columbia is a place I’ve gotten the chance to visit often. Vancouver was my first taste of Canada, and it happens to be one of my favorite spots on the west coast of North America. You get a real sense of nature and pride of the Pacific Northwest in British Columbia.
