For our first wedding anniversary, we spent a week in Canada, exploring the Van City and Whistler! We’ve been wanting to spend spring in Japan but they’re still not open to tourists due to the pandemic. I didn’t want to go too far either as we only had a week of vacation. So JP suggested Canada, a country we haven’t been to yet! Also, he’s been obsessed with snowboarding and wanted to go to Whistler.
I did some quick research on Vancouver and read they are the sushi capital of North America – that pretty much convinced me to go. Plus, the flights were not too expensive and they have their cherry blossoms also!
