With a cost of living to rival the surrounding mountains and a reputation as a cold, ‘no-fun’ city, it’s no surprise that many Vancouverites are calling the city quits.
I was one of them in 2019.
Full disclosure, my reason for leaving was primarily based on love. But that doesn’t mean that my decision wasn’t swayed by anything else.
For a long time, I was one of many Canadians that believed the grass was greener on the other side. I didn’t need much convincing when my then-boyfriend, now-husband asked if I would consider moving to his hometown in the UK.
