What to do on the weekend?

The first weekend of May is around the corner! Are you ready yet? Well if you’re still looking for something to do, keep on reading cause I have some awesome suggestions for you! 😄

First off, you can join INTERNeX on Saturday where we’re going to watch a Whitecaps football game (or soccer for all you North Americans). Since most of us are European, we’ve kinda missed watching some games, so we thought why not go watch the Vancouver team! The tickets are actually not that expensive, around $36 each! We’re super excited and if you’re a fan of sports, you should definitely join as well!

Another thing that might be interesting to you if you’re a sports fan are the NHL playoffs that are currently happening. The Vancouver Canucks are still in the first round, but they only need one more win to go into the second round where they’ll have to play the Edmonton Oilers. The next game is today (Friday) at 4pm! The Canucks are actually hosting another public viewing event at Rogers Arena where you can watch the game together with lots of fans in the stadium! Tickets are only $15 and I feel like this is such a fun event where everyone can come together and celebrate with each other! Unfortunately, tickets are almost sold out already, but don’t worry there’s more awesome spots you can go to to watch the game! You can go to a bar with a couple of friends and watch the game there – I think literally every single bar in Vancouver is showing the games lol! Some of them even have huge screens and you watch the game together with other fans as well!

If you’re not really into sports, don’t worry I have some other ideas for you as well! Saturday is supposed to be fairly good weather, so I suggest going for a walk or hike! As most of you might know, my favourites for a more relaxed walk are Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park and Lighthouse Park! They’re all incredible options and all of them are super close to downtown. To be fair, Lighthouse Park is a little further out, but the views from there are amazing! It’s probably my favourite sunset spot in Vancouver cause it’s right by the water!
If you’re looking for more of a challenging hike, I suggest Lynn Canyon, Grouse Mountain, or Deep Cove. They all have amazing hiking trails, and especially Grouse and Deep Cove have awesome viewpoints! Of course at Lynn Canyon there’s the suspension bridge, which is always fun to see and makes for some great pictures!

Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have lots of fun and are able to enjoy the weekend! Fingers crossed for the Canucks and the Whitecaps!!

Toodles!

What to do on the weekend?

Are y’all excited for this weekend? It’s supposed to be pretty warm but not as sunny as the past few days. If you’re still looking for some ideas on what you can do, you’re in luck because I have some awesome suggestions for you!

Firstly, you can follow along for INTERNeX’s trip to Sasquatch Mountain! We’re super excited to spend the weekend in a cabin on the mountain and we actually have a private hot tub as well! 😄 We’re gonna play a bunch of super fun games and hang out! At Sasquatch there’s a bunch of awesome hiking trails that we’ll also be checking out. But not only do we have our own cabin, we also have our own car!! This means that we can also check out some things in the area – like Harrison Hot Springs! There’s actually a tulip festival there at the moment that we’re gonna go to! There’s an entire field full of tulips, which is probably THE spot for awesome pictures! We’re super excited for this trip and I cannot wait to tell you about it next Monday!! 😊

If you’re staying in Vancouver, I suggest going for a hike or walk and enjoying the sunshine! My favourite spots are Stanley Park and Lighthouse Park if you want a more relaxing walk and those are also awesome spots for sunsets!! If you’re looking for a bit more of a challenge, I suggest hiking one of the local mountains! You can check out Grouse Mountain, Burnaby Mountain or Cypress Mountain. They all have some pretty high-impact trails and the views are incredible and 100% worth it! There’s also Deep Cove and Mount Seymour. which little harder to access, but Deep Cove is for sure manageable via public transit!

Another great thing to do in Vancouver when the sun’s out is grabbing a drink and a snack – maybe at Tim Hortons for the real Canadian experience lol – and sitting outside. One of my favourite spots is Robson Square or Gastown. There’s actually a bunch of cafés in Gastown that are definitely worth checking out. You could also go to a beach and get ready for summer. There’s Sunset Beach, English Bay and Second Beach, which is great if you’re already in Stanley Park. They actually have drumming circles on second beach, so if you’re interested definitely check that put!

Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have lots of fun and are able to enjoy the nice weather. I can’t wait to hear about your awesome weekends next Pub Night!

What to do on the weekend?

Are y’all excited for a sunny weekend?? In case you’re still looking for some ideas on what to do, look no further because I have some awesome suggestions for you!

Firstly, you can join INTERNeX on our trip to Whistler! 😄 Whistler is a must-see while you’re in Vancouver and we’re doing a one day trip this Saturday! We’re super excited and you’re not gonna believe it but some of us are gonna do a bungee jump!! I know – crazy right?! But we’ll see how it goes and I’ll tell you all about it on Monday. Other than that we’re gonna take time to explore Whistler village. We’re also gonna check out the Whistler Museum and maybe the Public Library as well. If we have time, we might even head over to Lost Lake or Lakeside Park and go for a nice walk/hike! 😊

If you’d rather stay in Vancouver and not go too far away, I suggest going to a park or going on a hike! My favourite parks are Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park or Lighthouse Park. Stanley Park and Queen Elizabeth Park are both super close to downtown Vancouver and they’re perfect if you wanna go for a nice walk. Both of them actually have some cute rose gardens with loooots of blooming flowers, which really get you in the mood for spring! Lighthouse Park is probably my favourite spot for sunsets and since it’s supposed to be sunny this weekend, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to catch a beautiful sunset! 😍
If you’re looking for more of a hike, I suggest Lynn Canyon or one of the local mountains, like Burnaby Mountain or Grouse Mountain. Lynn Canyon has a suspension bridge and lots of hiking trails with beautiful waterfalls! Burnaby and Grouse Mountain also have lots of hiking trails and they both have and incredible view on downtown Vancouver! You can also watch the sunset from both mountaintops as well!

What are your plans for the weekend? Are you gonna spend some time outside, enjoying the sun? Are you gonna join us for Whistler or go on a hike? I can’t wait to hear all about it next Pub Night!

How was the easter weekend?

This past weekend was a loooong one and we did a bunch of fun stuff, so let me tell you all about it! 😄

Firstly, we went to the Bunny Café! 😍 Since it was Easter weekend, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to meet the easter bunnies – and let me tell you: it was the best idea ever! If you like bunnies or animals in general, you HAVE to go to this place! The bunnies are literally so adorable and they love to play. You get 1 hour of meeting the bunnies and a snack cup so you can feed them. Right now they actually have baby bunnies that are only a few weeks old and they’re super energetic lol! They love jumping on your lap and one of them actually thought our jeans were a snack as well lol! They also have some more chill bunnies that like to just sit or lay around and wait for snacks lol. So there’s definitely something for everyone! They’re also an actual ‘café’ and they’re 100% vegan. You can get some hot and cold drinks as well as snacks and delicious cakes!

After that, we went to the cherry blossom festival at David Lam Park. It was super nice to see all the beautiful trees (even though it was pretty crowded). They also had some lanterns and live performances of dancers, artists and musicians, which just gave the festival such a nice touch. They also have food trucks, but unfortunately the lines were pretty long. The weather was incredible and the cherry blossom trees definitely make for some awesome pictures! Also, David Lam Park is right by the water so the view from there is also really beautiful!

Since the weather was pretty nice, we wanted to go check out the sunset – and what better spot other than Lighthouse Park? You probably know by now that this is definitely one of my favourites because you get to go for a little walk, which is not too exhausting. Also, there’s beautiful views of the Lions Gate Bridge, Stanley Park, Downtown Vancouver and North Vancouver! The lighthouse is also really awesome and you can watch the sunset RIGHT by the water! I usually like to climb some of the rocks at the very front and watch the sun set on the horizon from there and it’s soooo beautiful every tine! Of course you have to have a little luck with the weather, but if it’s sunny you should be good! After that we did a little stop at Horseshoe Bay before going back, since it’s literally only 10-15 minutes by bus from Lighthouse Park.

What did you do this weekend? Did you do something easter-related? Did you spend some time outside? I can’t wait to hear about it next Pub Night!

What to do on the weekend?

Are y’all excited for the long weekend? This one is actually gonna be suuuuper long lol since Friday and Monday are both holidays! So if you’re still not sure on what to do, don’t worry I got you covered! Here are some awesome ideas!

First up, it’s Easter weekend, so you could join INTERNeX for a visit to the bunny café! 😀 They actually work together with Rabbitats and the bunnies are adoptable. I feel like Easter is the perfect time to visit these adorable Easter bunnies! 🙂 There’s different options for how long you can cuddle the bunnies and what kinds of snacks you can give them. They’re also an actual ‘café’ so you can also grab some drinks and snacks while you’re there!

Another thing that’s happening this weekend is the Cherry Blossom Festival at David Lam Park. INTERNeX is gonna go there on Saturday as well! This weekend is actually the start of it and it goes until the end of April. At the park, there’s a bunch of cherry trees that are blooming right now and let me tell you: this spot makes for some awesome pictures! Additionally, they also have “Cherry Blossoms After Dark” this weekend, so you can stay a little longer and admire all the beautiful trees after sunset!

The rest of the weekend until Monday is supposed to be really good weather, so I suggest going for a walk or hike! My favourites are Stanley Park, Lynn Canyon or Lighthouse Park (the best spot for sunsets)! All of these are not quite as difficult and perfect if you don’t have much time. If you’re looking for a bit more of a challenge though, I suggest Grouse Mountain, Deep Cove or Burnaby Mountain. They all have some pretty challenging hiking trails, but Deep Cove and Burnaby Mountain have some easier ones as well. They all have insanely beautiful views though!! Grouse Mountain and Burnaby Mountain both look at downtown but from opposite directions! From Grouse Mountain you see the coast, Stanley Park and the western part of Downtown Vancouver and from Burnaby Mountain you see the Vancouver Skyline, Stanley Park, and both the Lions Gate Bridge and the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge. Deep Cove has a really nice viewpoint called “Quarry Rock” as well, from which you can see the Simon Fraser University, the Burnaby Skyline and all of Deep Cove.

Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have fun and are able to enjoy the nice weather! Hopefully I’ll see you at one of our events and I can’t wait to hear about your weekend next Pub Night!

Toodles!
