Salut, j’ai 38 ans et j’ai le privilège de parcourir les coins les plus séduisants de Vancouver, cette ville qui ne cesse de m’éblouir. En tant que globe-trotter invétéré, chaque rue, chaque parc, chaque café ici a une anecdote à me raconter. Je suis, en effet, ce qu’on pourrait appeler un explorateur urbain, toujours prêt à dénicher les meilleurs spots, les endroits insolites et les perles rares.
