Our Short but Sweet Time in Vancouver, Vancouver, Canada

Vancouver: There’s hardly any other city in the world I heard more good things about. And if I look at surveys about quality of living in cities worldwide, Vancouver always is among the top places (competing with my home city Vienna). It’s also home of my far-related and lovely cousin Brianne.

Btw, Brianne is opening Vancouver’s first Zero Waste supermarket called Nada soon! I can’t wait to check it out next time and I’m suggesting you to do so too

And what’s better than a free place to stay? A place with a dog! This is Eddie, Brianne’s furry friend. He’s a real Hawaiian and funny character but he was rather unimpressed by our visit
