Adventure | British Columbia
As our little family of three evolves, we have begun to explore what dipping our toes in travel looks like for us and decided to start where are hearts were already, with our best friends.
Visiting Nanaimo, British Columbia, along with other obvious places (Vancouver, Victoria, Coombs, Chemainus etc.), was a no-brainer. Our goal to experience the coast they live on and the landmarks that make up their lives was quite honestly the best place to start.
Standout moments/experiences
Lantzville Beach for a dip (it seemed essential to experience the Pacific Ocean)
Window Seat Books in Nanaimo (beautiful independent bookstore)
Horang - Korean-inspired restaurant bar - (the food was explosively good)
Sticky Rice Mango Bowl at Dumpling Drop in China Town in Victora
Butterfly world (we learned some things)
A ridiculous souvenir our daughter picked up in Coombs (it became a mascot of the trip)
The special moments together when we did nothing but talk, read, nap and muddle about.
I don’t need to travel to feel fulfilled or inspired, but I deeply enjoy living alongside those I love, and this adventure gave me all those values and then some.
