1 Year Living in Vancouver | MY Experience

Love this video, answered a lot of my questions !😊

FYI, all/most our electricity is generated by hydro power. We have one of the cheapest electricity around.

Nice shot of Mt Begbie in Revelstoke

Given the housing purchase costs here how do residents keep paying rent after they retire? Is there government assistance toward rent after retirement?

lived here all my life and still do. amazing city

It can also come down to preferences and one's personal situation. You need money to live there. A working person will struggle there. And it used to be a very British place, as the native-settler population for English Canada is English and Scottish. But now it's very Chinese, especially in the younger demographics. So if you're young and want to find a partner who is Chinese, or you love that culture and that scene, then it's for you. Otherwise, you may feel quite isolated and experience cultural clashes. We live among other people, not as individuals, and so it's a very significant aspect of life there.

After Trav retires .... he will go from trav4hockey to trav4travel

scuh a cool looking city, their soccer stadium is the best

snow is the shite as well... unless it really creates issues with travel

People are stupid , I am living in Alberta . Albertan always go to Vancouver and BC to enjoy sunshine , pick fruits and winery in summer time . We know vancouver is mild weather in Vancouver, only raining but better than snow storm all the time .

Great vid bud. Visited Vancouver many times and hoping to move there one day

Forgot to mention the PASSIONATE fans who almost burned the city down circa 2011

Hey Trav. Great video! I really enjoyed hearing about your experience and perspective on living in Vancouver. Pretty solid observations and superb b-roll! As a born and raised Vancouverite, I share your enthusiasm and optimism for this beautiful place. We aren't perfect, but we are darn close to it!

i've lived in vancouver since 1990, i think you've summarized the city pretty well. there's pros and cons to every place. p.s. when will you be signing with the canucks? 😉

I was planning on doing a Seattle/Vancouver trip in late September. Would you recommend I still do it? I’ve just been seeing a lot of videos on homelessness and drug problems in the city which is got me worried about enjoying the trip

truckers are organizing and going back to ottawa

Awesome video. Thanks! Lived here for a summer back in 2007. Visited again for a week in 2014. Still have more to explore. Beautiful city. A nice chill vibe. Very pricey but really - the rest of the country is quickly catching up. I’m in Ontario, not much better here. Also in London ontario - the violence, homeless, drugs, etc - EXTREMELY bad here. Over the past 5 years it’s been steadily getting out of control. Anyways, great points you make about the quality of life in van . great job trav!
Useless sidebar - Stanley park and coal harbour - can’t say enough. By far my fav area.

This douche bag is an Andrew Tate fanboy. In case you forgot Tate said “  women should ‘bear responsibility’ for being raped “.

Clickbaite videos, you really are in a fanasty world. I feel for the women who have to put up with you

I live 90 minutes down the highway in Chilliwack bro. Haha
Right on!

Trav4Tourist future...sums up Van pretty damn well!

Hello champ, from the uk, simple question really which would you recommend for citybreak Vancouver or Toronto ? Cheers

I love Vancouver! Seems like a really cool city! Hope you enjoy living there! I bet the Richmond Olympic Oval is super awesome!

Nice video. I guess you didn't get to check out Scotia Barn, facility in Burnaby with 8 ice rinks.

I think Surrey really gets a bad rep… like Vancouver, Surrey has some bad areas but also quite a few nice areas

Aren’t you signed to Watertown? Why are you wearing another team´s tuque? BTW, I agree VVR is the most beautiful city in North America.

As an es East Van Boy in the 90's i love van. One thing is Vans food is cheap... East Vaners pride ourselves in ethnic hoods that have to compete... so low low genuine viet, chinese, asian, italian, greek, spanish etc eats. Oh..and the music scene is historical. EVLocols.

You got a good year weather-wise, there are some summers where it still rains 10-15 days a month & the winter was real, with more snow than the city typically gets (where it is usually rain).

As soemone who lives in Montreal I will say I find Vancouver very interesting. I couldn't afford to live there but the mountains, the ocean, wow is that ever a nice view. Hope you enjoy your life there buddy, stay safe !

How do you transport your hockey gear to/from the hockey rink? Is it easy to lug all of your gear using public transportation?

Vancouver has been destroyed by the liberals and NDP rule over the last 30 years. Nothing but virtue signaling assholes. I'm glad I left and won't return.

Cool video

As an Aussie (but have goals of living in Europe) its a bit weird I've never heard someone call Canada part of North America but geographically its right...Ive just never thought of it that way

I didnt know that there was regulations around how tall buildings could be but it is beautiful that there is...

Thank you your videos are really informative and your sponsor made me giggle 🤣

the crime ain’t nothin like chiraq 🙏🙏🙏

The Couver needs to build an HSR underwater to Naniamo on Vancouver Island. Vancouver Island is big enough to develop and still have plenty of wild wilderness left.

Vancity is One of the best places to live in
San Fran being one of the Worst
# No5 Orange!!
Its Sunny now..Hasnt rained in a month lol
I wish we had a little more Snow in Nov and December
I have Snow tires and was born and raised here lol

What A VIDEO ✅ A beautiful place and one that I love to call home,, but nothing is perfect. FACTS
Great visuals and shots my man 🤙

Let’s get trav to 100k!!!

So basically the LA of Canada

Love you finally got to move to Vancouver! always hoped you move here and was super happy when you decided to call it home!

Hey Trav, want to let you know you’re starting to give me Anthony Bourdain vibes. Your main shtick is hockey and it’s always present in your videos, but you make awesome travel vlogs that are so informative and fun to watch!

Bourdain started just making food videos but slowly transitioned into travel vids with food always being the main driver throughout.

Just something I noticed! Keep it up man.

15 minute video and not a single mention of Victoria? Yes, she appears in a few shots, but of all the reasons to move there, she doesn't rate a mention? Son, you have much to lean about the double-X chromosome...

I visited Vancouver for 1 week and fell in love with the city!!!

Will you be doing a full in depth review of your warriors G6 lset ike you did with your hyperlight 2 set ?

I moved here from England in April and I think you’ve hit the nail on the head - the lifestyle, accessibility and scenery alone help me justify the cost and have had nothing but great weather so far. I have a 1 bedroom fully furnished with bills apartment for $2800 and the sad thing is I feel lucky to be paying that because it’s so tough to find a place that checks all the boxes. I haven’t experienced winter here yet of course but in no way do I regret this move so far!
Also first time commenting but I’ve watched your videos since the junior B days that I found when killing time working in a pro shop back home - keep the content coming Trav

bc-bring cash....you're a prairie pegger guy....

van has been destroyed! remember a great town not long ago

are you and Jamie Phillips still good friends?

As an American living in San Diego, I would rate Vancouver as the best city in North America, hands down! I have visited three times on vacation and if I win the lottery I will move there. Great video Trav, good luck this season!

Vancouver doesn't have that high of a population.
