My path 

 Canada
Vancouver

I am currently living in Canada since April 2003

My life & projects in this location:

Along with my wife, Sue, we set up our relocation2bc web site and a business that focuses on helping people research and make the move to British Columbia.

My occupation:

Realtor and relocation specialist. Oh and a lot more besides. Blog writer and photographer.

What I like about this destination:

This is one of the most beautiful and livable cities in the world. You have everything a decent city should have and more. The local ski mountains, the ocean and beaches make this a playground. It is very much a multi-cultural city and is welcoming to all newcomers.

What I don't like about this destination:

At first it took time to get used to the slower, relaxed pace of life. Business can be done very slowly, but always in a friendly laid-back way!
