Where Are We Now?
Vancouver Prepares to Host the FIFA World Cup
We live in Vancouver and the city is changing so much as it prepares to host FIFA World Cup 26. Fences are up all around BC Place, road closures are creating tons of traffic, Skytrain access to BC Place is changing, and hotel prices are even more expensive than usual. There are also some impacts to the city and its residents that you might not have thought of. But with all these negatives, there are also hints of fun things to come, like Science World being turned into one giant soccer ball, preparations for the viewing parties at the PNE and Granville Island, and preparing the fan zones.
Welcome!
Hello!
We're Chris and Emilie, and we slow travel around the world. We rent apartments in big cities, spend time in rural areas, hike, and camp - all with a goal of experiencing everyday life in new places. We plan our own schedule, keep costs low, and stay flexible, so if we enjoy a place, we can stay longer.
