Vancouver would be the final stop on our cross-Canadian Contiki trip.

It had been a long three weeks, but it was full of adventure and I was really bummed that it was coming to an end. 

The drive from Whistler to Sun Peaks was a long but gorgeous one.

Our Contiki bus hit the road, and immediately I knew that day’s activity would be watching the scenery. We lost phone signal as soon as we drove into the Rocky Mountains, forcing everyone to talk to one another.

I was so excited when the plane landed in Vancouver and our Canadian Contiki tour would continue through the West Coast.

I’ve been to Vancouver and Victoria before, but was so looking forward to driving through the Rocky Mountains and seeing a whole other side to my country!

We happened upon a ton of great brunch places in British Columbia, so of course, I need to share those with you.

It was so nice to have someone by my side through all the adventures, but it was also reassuring to know that I had everything organized.

The first part of our couple’s trip to British Columbia meant a few days to ourselves exploring Vancouver – a place neither my partner nor I had been to before.
