It was love at first sight when I first visited Vancouver in 2000. Since then, this vibrant city has become my home—I’ve lived, studied, and worked here for over 25 years. As a tour guide since 2018, I’ve enjoyed sharing Vancouver’s natural beauty and cultural richness with visitors worldwide. When not guiding, I teach business and HR as a university professor at the University of Canada West, bringing local insights and global perspectives into the classroom. Join me on a tour that goes beyond the usual—whether you’re looking for scenic outdoor adventures, cultural gems, or off-the-beaten-path experiences, I’d love to show you the Vancouver I fell in love with. I’m also a travel writer and have published work. 📰 Read my travel features in Montecristo Magazine and The Toronto Star. https://montecristomagazine.com/travel/spending-the-day-of-the-dead-in-mexico-city https://www.thestar.com/life/travel/2015/04/23/mythical-world-of-gabriel-garcia-marquez-becomes-a-reality.html All my tours are available using various transportation options to suit your group’s needs: 🚇 Public transportation – explore like a local 🚴‍♀️ E-bikes – take advantage of the city’s extensive network of dedicated bike lanes 🚗 Electric sedan – a comfortable 4-door option for small groups 🚙 Cadillac SUV – accommodates up to 5 passengers in style 🚐 Mercedes Van – ideal for groups of up to 12 passengers 🚌 Tour bus options – available for larger groups of 19, 27, or 55 passengers Let me know your preference, and I’ll tailor the experience accordingly!
