I thought it might be appropriate to give my final thoughts on the whole Summer Holiday I had in Vancouver. Plus it's somewhere to start for people randomly passing by.
I was thinking about this after the Skydive actually. This whole working holiday trip I did. I absolutely loved it. When I first arrived, I will admit, I was somewhat nervous. Didn't know what to expect, what to feel... when to wake up! It was scary. However, after what feels like not a long enough time there. I can definitely say that it is something that I will never regret. I believe that my fellow travellers will agree with me on this. To anyone that is thinking about travelling by themselves, or with people to a different place, but is unsure. Just do it. You've got nothing to lose. If it doesn't work out you can go back home, but to be honest, that will be very unlikely. More likely that you will have the time of your life. Even with the few bad things that happened to me (Not knowing where to go on the first day, Bike stolen!), I will always be happy that I decided to do something completely different, and go to Vancouver.
If you are by yourself, don't worry about that, It's just like starting at university when going to a youth hostel. Nobody really knows anyone, so everyone likes to get to know each other, and in no time at all, you know lots off people. I have many great memories of places I've seen and random things that I did with people there (Moose Tour, Whale watching in Victoria, Grouse Grind, Pretending we know Kung Fu, Fireworks, messing about with workmates). I made many friends for life (fellow Working Tourists, and native Canadians) and will sincerely miss them. Of course I now have many places to go where there will be someone that I know! Also, I am very happy with the leaving present that I got. A "Dyl-hat". Very cool. Thank you! You know who you are. (That would be for the hat, and just being yourselves.)
Before I left, I realised that it was going to be weird going back to England as I felt like my life in Vancouver was now home. Well the time to leave had come, and so I would be leaving one home for what felt like another home, with a different life.
Well, apparently the weather becomes a lot like Manchester anyway; Very Rainy! So I won't be missing much then! haha.
Byebye Rainy Vancouver. We shall meet again sometime. I will make sure of it.
