No One Told Me Victoria Looked Like THIS

Welcome to Victoria, British Columbia — one of the most beautiful and underrated cities in Canada! 🇨🇦 In this episode, I take you through some of my favorite local spots that most tourists never see — because I actually used to live here for seven years!

👉 What we cover in this episode:

🌳 Beacon Hill Park – Home to peacocks, fall colors, and stunning ocean views.

🌊 Dallas Road – Victoria’s most beautiful seaside walk, perfect for dog lovers and runners.

☕ Cook Street Village – The heart of local life in Victoria, with cafés, boutiques, and small-town charm.

🍣 Taisho Sushi – One of the best takeout sushi spots in the city, known for its authentic Japanese-Korean flavors.

🍔 Big Wheel Burger – A Victoria institution with burgers and milkshakes that redefine “fast food.”

Along the way, I share stories from when I lived here — from marathon runs and frisbee golf to spotting wild peacocks outside my old apartment.

Whether you’re planning your first trip to Vancouver Island or rediscovering it as a local, this video will give you a fresh look at what makes Victoria one of the most livable and lovable cities in the world.
