Hi I’m Karen. I’m 26 and from Canada. I’ve lived in Canada so I enjoy travelling to explore new cultures. I like movies, music, food, sightseeing, language exchange, shopping and art. I’ve travelled to a few countries as a teen and 3 times to Japan. I enjoy meeting new people so I’m always up to showing you around Vancouver if you visit.

I walked around most of the time. But the transportation is convenient here, bus, sky train, sea bus and some share bikes. It’s quite easy to get some tourists spots then. But for the other places which are far away from downtown, need a car will be much more easier.

Vancouver is awesome. We spent a week here, and I cannot recommend it enough. The skytrain makes travelling inexpensive, and there is do much to do. From the aquarium to the totem poles and even just walking around the city- its a beautiful spot suitable for anyone!
Posted: February 5, 2024Experienced: May, 2023Can’t imagine a more perfect place to do my first solo trip as a young female, felt so safe walking around on my own even at night (which I rarely ever feel safe doing) and the transit there is spectacular!
