I have been to Vancouver at least 3 times, but I "lost" or did not take photos from my visit.

Every visit for Vancouver was for hockey and nothing else. Vancouver is a very nice and clean city, but no Toronto 🦉. The city probably cleaned up because of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final riots 😂.

Aside from hockey, Vancouver is nothing short of fun. If you are not a Canucks fan, which is probably a lot of Vancouverites after Quinn Hughes got traded, then Vancouver is a great place to live. I have very fond memories of watching the 2018 World Junior Championship and skiing Grouse Mountain. Skiing Whistler is up there in my bucket list.

I have a strong feeling that I will find myself back in Vancouver again. There's no doubt in my mind that I will enjoy my next experience too. I got friends to visit in Vancouver now. How lucky am I?
