Vancouver

Thoughts- Vancouver has always been a city that has always fascinated me. It is surrounded by beauty in the mountains and ocean, and uses parks within in the city to create a sense of oneness with nature. I never have been in such a dense city but at the same time felt so connected with the natural world around me. It just doesn’t happen in places like New York or LA. Vancouver to me represents a balance of opposites…nature intermingling with the urban landscape. Grouse Mountain overshadowing Vancouver as a place where people can look to and be reminded of the beauty and importance of nature. Stanley Park as a park that is used as a place of escape and freedom from the cemented streets.

Fun Fact- According to Forbes magazine, Vancouver and Vienna have the third highest quality of living in the world
