Annika in Vancouver: September 2013

http://annikainvancouver.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 22, 2013. After living in this great city for 20 weeks I’m completely over the touristy stuff (ok that has been a while), I have done most things and seen most of it. I don’t feel guilty for bunch watching a series with my roommate on a rainy weekend. When it’s not raining I still go outside a lot since the options are endless. Kale-munching, yoga pant-wearing, seawall-running, Canuck-worshipping: Vancouver. Start saying “awesome”. Always be doing something healthy. Complain. A lot.

Annika in Vancouver: June 2013

http://annikainvancouver.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 23, 2013. I have been living in Vancouver for 7 weeks now and this city still amazes me, yes I’m in love, with Vancouver. When I was 13 years old, so 14 years ago I was watching this travel show about Vancouver and I decided that I would live there one day. Yep I have always worked hard for what I believed in and made it happen, I am a bit stubborn too. Sunday I went to the beach in Kitsilano with Sherry, I’m slowly exploring all Vancouver beaches. View from NW marine drive. Seattle, June 8-9.

Annika in Vancouver: August 2013

http://annikainvancouver.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 30, 2013. San Francisco 26-29 August 2013. It was so nice to see Janneke again after 4 months, we went to the city and did some, or a lot of shopping. The whole Victoria secret experience and very touristy the cable car. For more pictures check the tab pictures and the album San Francisco. Tuesday, we went to Alcatraz! Both of us agreed that this was definitely a highlight of our trip. It was sunny and hot downtown but once we arrived at the bridge we found out that the lonely planet was s...

Annika van der Meer: Whistler day 1

http://annikavandermeer.blogspot.com/2013/05/whistler-day-1.html

Annika van der Meer. Friday, May 17, 2013. I’m in Vancouver for exactly 2 weeks now, to read more on those stories see my Vancouver blog. So today was the first day of skiing with the Whistler mountain ski club. I skied with the FIS group and had a good time. The conditions were very soft due to some high temperatures over the last few weeks, but there still is plenty of snow left. Tomorrow GS skills testing we will see, I’m looking forward to another day on the hill! Annika van der Meer.

http://annikainvancouver.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 14, 2013. Weekends in Van (Vancouver for the not insiders ;) are so much fun, there is lots to do during the summer! Sunday I went to the beach and I met two Dutch couples, the first Dutch people I have met here. Tuesday I went to an open air movie in Stanley park with my neighbours Robyn and Nia, we watched the teenage mutant ninja turtles ;). I met a lot of new people. They have those movies every Tuesday so I'm going to catch some more, it was so much fun. And here we are at this weekend&...

Annika in Vancouver: Fogcouver

http://annikainvancouver.blogspot.com/2013/10/fogcouver.html

Friday, October 25, 2013. This past 9-10 days it has been Fogcouver. The city covered in a thick blanket of fog, totally in the spirit of Haloween ;). Well at least it is not raining and it allows for some pretty pictures, see this timelaps. What I have learned from Vancouver weather so far, it is pretty unpredictable, but in any case the city is beautiful. On my last post I had a ton of pictures and stories to share, so this is it for now. Exactly 25 weeks down and 16 days to go. Annika van der Meer.

Annika in Vancouver: October 2013

http://annikainvancouver.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 30, 2013. With only 2 weeks left I had one important thing left on my Vancouver bucket list, go up Grouse and watch the sunset. Last Sunday we got treated with some awesome weather, the fog is gone! So it was the ideal day to visit Grouse mountain, the peak of Vancouver. But Grouse is a lot closer to the city, so the city view is better and it is easier to reach. We got one ticket for the gondola for free, because I was in the wheelchair, always nice. The bears were at their fattest, c...
