Outdoor activities
Vancouver is a 365 holiday resort. During the winter it rains, there is less than 1 week under 0° C. But the mountains are covered in snow. At 40 minutes by public transportation there is Groose Mountain and at 1.5 hours, Whistler, a Olympic resort.
During the summer, the activities are so numerous, that I need to use categories:
Water
Paddling is very popular, I am afraid it might be bad for the back

The size of this post is proportional to the love of the city
In almost one month, 2 Airbnbs (blue), 3 couchsurfing (green), 3 “1000 stars” (red), greenhouse (orange). I slept almost in each part of Vancouver.
It’s such a diverse city ! ocean, mountain, forest surround it. So many populations: more than 30% are from Hong Kong and mainland China mostly in Richmond, 100.000 Iranians and British in West Vancouver, Indians in Burnaby, East Europe in Surrey. This ethnical concentration is not a good thing, but it’s about to improve. The downtown is pretty mixed.
