Like The Best Road Trip from Vancouver for first time visitorsOctober 22, 2018 at 10:19 PM Best Road Trip from Vancouver, Canada
As residents of Vancouver, we’re often asked about things to see and do in Vancouver. One question we’ve been asked a lot recently is – what is the best road trip from Vancouver?
It’s a great question. You have plenty of options in British Columbia. Do you go east to the Okanagan Valley or west to Vancouver Island or north to Whistler and Pemberton?
In our opinion, British Columbia is one of the best places to visit in the world.

In Portuguese the word to eat is "comer".
