Welcome,
I am going to share with you part of the journey of what it has been like to move to the city of Vancouver, that is welcoming the world in the year to come.
It has been awesome!
First of all, people I love you....and at the same time, BC is absolutely beautiful.
To live in a city, where you can take a short ride in the car, and hike a mountain, well that is for me. It is filled with activity of sports, art and culture. Especially in the summer, you are not short of any arrange of festivals to attend.
hmmm sailing...boat cruise...beaches!

To share a bit of the journey, I moved out west to follow my passion and dreams. I wanted to reach the world, and with the olympics, I recognized this as an opportunity to do so. However, I have been pleasantly surprised at how much of a journey was really in store for me!
Near the beginning of my arrival, I attended the Chinese New year, as this was what I love to do: attend events of cultural experience, where people come together.
A few days later, I was gifted with the opportunity to visit a friend in the interior BC. I spent 8 days skiing in the mountains...hottubbing... true west coast vacation living :)
When I returned, the events of Cultural Olympiad had taken effect. These are events that were organized for a 2 month duration, to experience the culture that we had, that would be ready to showcase to the world, when the world arrives for the olympic experience.
I went to various aboriginal events, in which I experienced aboriginal cultural stories, and drumming....there was also an array of music, art, photography, poetry,....events of creative imagination!
For the next half year, I experienced the city, the vibes...and many inspiring events in between. Activism, Concerts, Festivals..I have connected with so many people who appreciate life from such a beautiful level.
:)
