Hey hey, now I know 
The perfect balance of nature and city: Van City
Mind you, I am not a native to this city, let alone this province. 1 year ago I decided to move here on my own. That's right, I finished college and after a summer abroad I decided upon coming back that I needed to go out west. Why Vancouver? (granted, I didn't know about the pretentiousness, the crowds, the super high costs and the laughable living situations) Vancouver because of the enticing nature trails, captivating mountainous views, abundance of forests, natural waters and the busy spontaneous lifestyle of downtown.
When you're tired of your busy, fun van city lifestyle, you can always get away for a day or two to countless of captivating destinations.
Strawberry Point, where camping is permitted right on the beach next to the water
TBH I don't know where this is because there are so many nice looking points nearby, but it was on the way back to the city not far from the bridge
Cat Lake (meow)
Yes, it rains a lot here but with a city like this with so much to do, you'll get over it. So whether you want to chill at home, go out and get some delicious grub (which there is plenty of), go clubbing, go dancing, go shopping, go hiking, go running, go skiing, go boarding, go swimming, game, gamble- YOU CAN DO IT ALL here in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I'll be welcoming you here soon, eh
