hi lizzy, while you’re here in canada i hope you are able to also take some time to learn about our first nations, iniut and meti people. this thursday is national day for truth and reconciliation and i am sure you’ll see things about it on the news or online. a great place to start is learning about the ‘land acknowledgment’ of the city you are in at the time and learning about the indigenous peoples whose land it is. there are so many beautiful indigenous cultures in canada and it’s up to us to learn about them. ❤️ i hope you enjoy the rest of your stay!
Fo really popular, booked-up restaurants, like the one you mentioned, it sometimes works to take the earliest possible reservation, or if they don’t take them, go right when they open. Five or five-thirty is often available, also you get great, fresh service and food, and your choice of the daily specials, fish, etc., that can sell out by 7:30. I just have a full, late breakfast, then skip lunch, to be hungry early. This has often got us into the best restaurants when nothing else worked.
This vlog made my entire week!!! SO incredible seeing you out travelling after 18 months of essentially lockdown vlogs. You already seem so creatively refreshed and it's wonderful to see. Please keep these vlogs up if you have the energy! Enjoy Toronto and NYC xxx
I live in Vancouver and it was so heartening to see you experience my city with fresh perspective! Also Massy books is the absolute best bookstore in the city and I know about the very kind man who works there that you mentioned. I’m glad you enjoyed this city, hope Toronto is just as exciting 💕
Lovely vlog, Lizzy! Thankyou for taking us on your travels to these beautiful cities! It would be amazing to see you come out to California one day, especially the San Francisco Bay Area, Marin County, and the Bay Area backroads of beautiful wine country such as Sonoma, Calistoga, Napa, St. Helena, etc.. xx
Wow! So many memories have washed over me seeing vancouver sights with courtney barnett in the background. I listened to a sea of split peas on repeat when i lived there in 2014/2015
I'm glad you enjoyed Vancouver! Even as a Vancouverite, I've never been lucky enough to get a table at Ask For Luigi either. It's no reservation and as you mentioned has very few seats. It was lovely to see the city through your lens. Safe travels east!
Loved this! I've never been to Vancouver but am moving in December and it's so exciting to see what it's like and get a feel of the city. So glad you enjoyed it, best of luck with the rest of your travels!
Loved this video, Lizzy, I lived in Canada for just over a year and was in Vancouver this time last year, so it brought back some lovely memories. Can I recommend you pick up Frying Plantain by Zalika Reid-Benta? Its a coming of age story about a girl growing up in Toronto's Little Jamaica neighbourhood. I worked for the publisher and this was one of my favourites! Enjoy the rest of your trip x
Yaay, have been looking forward to this since the last video! Always love your vlogs, you just have a way of capturing and seeing things that I loove!!🍂🧡I know already that I will love it and I am only 2 min in
You’re very brave to travel alone. I’m so scared to do things by myself. Maybe because I’m from Chicago where you basically need to keep your head on a swivel.
This is making me want to move to Vancouver, the climate there looks a lot more attractive than the UK. My friends that live there have told me it's super hard to find a job because most Canadians want to live there and it's also incredibly expensive (more than London apparently?) I'm wondering if this time around travelling alone has been much different compared to when you went to Japan? How's Luigi doing is he staying in a pet hotel? p.s: sorry for all the questions
I live in a suburb of Vancouver. It rains just as much as UK I think (depending on part of UK). It’s crazy expensive for housing. Not sure how $$ it is compared to London. But 1 bedroom suite 45 min drive from downtown will cost you $1200-$1500 per month. Shortage of places to rent too.
hey! I'm from Vancouver, lived in London for 10 years. London has a lot more jobs and more opportunities to work at big well-known companies (and big start up scene!) and vancouver is smaller, so will have less to choose from. Depends on your industry but for mine (tech/fashion) I think there is more opportunity in London. Obviously, life is much more than your work. I prefer 5+ weeks of holiday in London, my friends in Vancouver really struggle with 10 days holiday. I've been told it gets better when you are more "established" or work for yourself. I prefer arts and culture so London is my city, but if your idea of fun is skiing/hiking/golfing/camping and want to be closer to nature, Vancouver is a good way to go. Rent seems about the same, but I think the difference in London is that people will live further out from the city (better public transport) and that is the norm. I'm biased as I grew up in vancouver city centre so have a hard time picturing myself moving back and living outside of town. Weather wise they are pretty similar, but Vancouver has developed more extreme weather in the last 10 years due to climate change. In the past we would never have snow in the winter, and the forest fires/heatwaves in the summer were not as extreme. Political climate i'm more positive about Canada Long answer but i've had a lot of time to think about this! There are some other things i cant stand about vancouver hence why i dont live there, but those are super personal bias haha. Anyway I hope this helps, let me know if you have other questions
@@sophiespice Wow! Thank you so much for your detailed response, I really appreciate it! By climate I mainly meant an actual & smoother summer haha, I have quite a few friends that live in the Quebec region and even there they get sun most of the summer... Don't get me wrong I love London for its diversity, opportunities and atmosphere but the lack of sunshine is beginning to weigh on me... and by that I don't necessarily mean sunshine=hot weather.
@@_giraffed this summer was brutal right?? I went back to Vancouver in July and it was 29 degrees with beautiful sun for two whole weeks. Went to a tiny remote island for part of it and it was just…so good and so different. I think in London, even if it is sunny it doesn’t feel as nice. Walking around city streets in the sun isn’t the same as looking out onto water, walking on the beach, etc. I’ll choose beach to beer garden any day. Seriously if you want to know any specifics just reach out!! More than happy to help
It was lovely to see my city through your eyes. I used to live in London and I always compare Vancouver to London. I really should celebrate each city for what they offer me.
Love this Lizzy! I legit feel like I got out and about with you and such a beautiful glimpse of Vancouver. I love that you found some "unexpected" joy💜
me and my partner saw you last week near Gastown when we were visiting. I didn't want to interpret your trip (my partner actually recognized you first!). Hope you will enjoy Toronto - it is for sure colder and less green haha
Loving all these recommendations in the comments like they really make me want to go too 😍 Not sure what I was expecting but Vancouver looks kind of Bay Area, some of those bay scenes look just like the views of the bay here 💜 I visited Anacortes (at Canadian/US border) this summer but it looked very Pacific Northwest LOTS of evergreens etc Hailing from the Marin County California🤚🏾
Someday come to San Francisco and Marin County, just across the Golden Gate Bridge. We have the redwoods of Muir Woods National Monument, and a huge, wild and beautiful coast and forest area, called the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. There is lots of great culture here, too. We, your Marinite followers, think you would love it.
I have family in Vancouver and lived there for 2 years. I had an apartment on Alberni St near coal harbour and on comox st near English bay. So many fun things to do in Vancouver :)
Off sort of question but how do you possibly pack all that you buy. I am in the midst of traveling and if I go buying too much I cannot fit it all in my already full and crammed luggage! And yes isn’t Vancouver beautiful! All of Canada is, it’s a beautiful country!
When planning a trip to Vancouver decades ago, everyone told me to have afternoon tea at the Empress hotel, that it is one of the best outside of England. I don’t know if that’s still the case, but it might be worth a google of reviews, if they’re great, you need a reservation, I think.
hi lizzy, while you’re here in canada i hope you are able to also take some time to learn about our first nations, iniut and meti people. this thursday is national day for truth and reconciliation and i am sure you’ll see things about it on the news or online. a great place to start is learning about the ‘land acknowledgment’ of the city you are in at the time and learning about the indigenous peoples whose land it is. there are so many beautiful indigenous cultures in canada and it’s up to us to learn about them. ❤️ i hope you enjoy the rest of your stay!
yes! I agree. @lizzyhadfield I hope you also buy more books by indigenous writers. Seven Fallen Feathers really struck me.

She’s in Vancouver. We’re big on our First Nations culture.
@@es4666 yes, but she's not from vancouver or canada so she may not have known to look in to this and i wanted to mention it.
imagine buying a million pound house then going travelling until it's renovated. what a life.

Are you in Vancouver alone? I find people who travel far away alone so admirable

I know you're headed to my hometown (Toronto) next, really looking forward to looking at my city through your lens!

thank you lizzy for posting even whilst on your travels! xx
cannot begin to tell you how much joy seeing Shoppers Drug Mart in the background gave me
Loved this! I've never been to Vancouver but am moving in December and it's so exciting to see what it's like and get a feel of the city. So glad you enjoyed it, best of luck with the rest of your travels!
So fun and interesting! You make me want to go to Vancouver. And you look gorgeous in every shot as always.
Best to you on your journey, enjoyed your walk in Vancouver….Music score is so cool! 😎 See you soon!

So uplifting ! Love watching Lizzy !

As a Vancouverite, thank you for visiting my city and sharing Vancouver through your lens. :)
i live in vancouver and watch your videos, its so weird to see you in places i go everyday rather than the uk! love your content!
It was lovely to see my city through your eyes. I used to live in London and I always compare Vancouver to London. I really should celebrate each city for what they offer me.
one of the best places! so glad you got to explore 💚
Loved it! Can’t wait to see Toronto. I’m based in the States and have been feeling oh so pulled to visit our friends up north.
Stopped re-watching your Japan vlogs to watch this❤️
Love this Lizzy! I legit feel like I got out and about with you and such a beautiful glimpse of Vancouver. I love that you found some "unexpected" joy💜

SAfe travels Lizzy, can't wait to see where you are in NYC, its my hometown:)). xxJ
loved this, it really inspired me to book a solo trip to a new city! hope you enjoy the rest of your trip Lizzy.
Your shot of the coffee cup on a bench with a maple leaf on it looks like the perfect Canadian thumbnail shot!
Legitimately thought the first 43 seconds of this video was a tourism ad… hahaha but a VIBEY one at that!! So excited for your travel vlogs Lizzy 💙💙💙
me and my partner saw you last week near Gastown when we were visiting. I didn't want to interpret your trip (my partner actually recognized you first!). Hope you will enjoy Toronto - it is for sure colder and less green haha
Absolutely loved this vlog!
The OVER story is a really good book.

Lovely vlog! Need to visit Canada 😍
Safe travels Lizzy! X
So cool Lizzy. I hope one day I can go to Vancouver
That cheeky … unexpected comment at the end 😉
I'm from Toronto! Hope you enjoy the city :)
Heart Berries is so good.
i wish there was more of you actually doing things instead of you just telling what you did or what you were going to do
Off sort of question but how do you possibly pack all that you buy. I am in the midst of traveling and if I go buying too much I cannot fit it all in my already full and crammed luggage! And yes isn’t Vancouver beautiful! All of Canada is, it’s a beautiful country!

The Empress hotel is in Victoria not Vancouver
Wish you would bring light to what's happening at Fairy Creek while you're in Vancouver
Lizzy you need to go to Aritzia! It is a Canadian brand and has beautiful clothes, totally your aesthetic!
If I had that much money, I would adopt like 5 kids and give them a good life.
I hope someone recommended Douglas Coupland!
Looks just like San Francisco!
But with more trees🙂I’m a San Franciscan, too.
