Vancouver feels like the best of city and wild. Mountains sit close and the water is always in view. The weather is mild. Winters can be rainy but not frozen. Summers are sun and beaches. I once biked the Stanley Park seawall and stopped in Gastown to work from a tiny cafe.
Most travellers enjoy the coffee scene and the easy access to hikes. For digital nomads the internet is solid and coworking spots are everywhere. There is a steady stream of meetups and friendly expat groups.
Rent is on the pricey side, so for some this will be amazing and for others it will sting the budget. Things to do are endless. Paddle in False Creek, ski up at Grouse Mountain, or join a beach volleyball game at Kitsilano on weekends. The vibe is relaxed but active. If you like nature with your laptop, Vancouver might be your kind of place.
