    As some of my recent Vancouver focused videos have been doing well such as; 6 Things I wish I knew Before Moving to Vancouver, Why are people leaving Vancouver? 10 Things to Know Before moving to Canada, and Which part of Vancouver should you move to? I've been looking to make some more videos about the city! If there are any specific videos YOU want to see about Vancouver, make sure to leave them in the comments below!!People love life hack videos, so what's better than combining my city and youtube channel with a lifehacks video? People have been asking me for tips about moving to vancouver, tips and tricks to live in vancouver, tips for living in canada, tips for moving to canada, tips for living in vancouver, how to move to vancouver, how to move to vancouver, what to do in vancouver, things to do in vancouver, is vancouver a good place to live, should i move to vancouver, and many more related questions.And by making videos like these I am answer and suggest answers to the frequently asked questions!After living in Vancouver for 2 years I figured it was a good time to SHARE some of the things I wish I knew before moving to VANCOUVER BC, CANADA. If any of you guys are from Vancouver and have something to add onto the list, I'd love to hear it! 💯If you are someone looking to find out more "insider knowledge" from someone who lives in Vancouver, make sure to Subscribe as I have a Vancouver based video every week or so !!I'd appreciate any support on this video as it was a real time investment, and I'm happy with how it turned out~I know Canada is a highly sought after place these days for living. That's why so many people are interested and suggest these videos. The common questions I usually get and try to answer are along the lines of; Should i move to canada? should i move to canada in 2021? should i still move to canada? is canada a good place to live? is living in canada nice? is living in canada good? is canada a good place to live 2021? what you should know before moving to canada, what should i know before moving to canada? things i wish i knew before moving to canada, should i move to canada or the us? how to move to canada? how to relocate to canada? is it hard to move to canada?

    Thanks for these Vancouver vids, Adam. I'm looking to move from the UK to the Vancouver/Greater Vancouver area in the next few years so these kinds of guides are so useful. Would love to see more of the Greater Van area and Sea-to-Sky corridor. Have been a few times as one of my best mates has been a Whistler local for about 15 years but seeing around places like Squamish and even the Tri-City area would be very cool. Also a video on dog friendly places//parks would be awesome, too. Cheers.

The scenery is intense and being a popular tourist destination British Columbia and Vancouver Island have way too much to offer to be covered in less than a half hour.

    I started texting the bus several years ago, but have upgraded to just using their website on smartphone. Same sort of deal, but you can see how many and how often they are coming. Or preplan a trip. Isn't it just $6 for the compass card, not $20? I have the Keychain and have it on autoload, for when I need to take transit. I didn't know about the flush app, that's awesome, for someone with an autoimmune disease... gonna download it. Thanks for the tips :) Also will be checking out the renting app, what a great idea to not have to buy anything you probably won't use a lot!!

  • @focusedeye
    @focusedeye Před 3 lety +4

    Re: Compass Cards. Users purchase a Compass card for a $6 refundable deposit, then load it with stored value. The $6 deposit can be used temporarily if a rider forgets to maintain enough stored value, but the value on the card must be replenished above $6 before the next trip or they will not be able to tap in. A reloadable monthly one-zone adult Compass Card in Metro Vancouver costs $98. That's the cheapest way to travel, and it only works for those who live relatively close to work or school. A two-zone pass sets an adult transit rider back $131 and a three-zone adult pass costs $177. Got rid of my last vehicle in 2010 and been a monthly transit pass (aka Compass Card) ever since.

  • @lunaromamusic

    There is a fee for using the pay parking app. I think it is 0.35 per transaction. Also, I think if you pay cash for the bus you don't get to transfer and must pay again at each leg of the trip.

    Regarding Facebook groups - there's a great group called Vancouver Girls Ask where you can ask any old question (probably a male one somewhere, too). Also, most Vancouver neighbourhoods has a "Buy Nothing" page where people list free things they'd like to give away and you can ask if anyone has a thing you would like for free.

      Marpole area. It’s full of old people so it’s quiet. It’s not super exciting and not many grocers in walking distance but it’s close to the train and transit!

    Does 9 am to 6 pm parking means that parking is free after 6 pm with no limit on duration? I see on PayByPhone 9 am to 6 pm for downtown area. So, am I permitted to park after 6 pm? And I don’t need to pay for parking after 6 pm at those PayByPhone spots?
