I just hit publish on my first post in Substack! It’s about my leap from Vancouver city life to chasing a dream of building a regenerative farm.
This is the start of my story—why I’m doing it, the vision I have, and how I’ll be sharing the ups and downs along the way.🌱

Why I’m leaving the city to grow a regenerative life.

Wreck Beach
My favorite beach in Vancouver so far. Stunning views all around, except from naked old mans walking around and throwing wooden spears through a sand volleyball court (Would totally be me as an old man, can't blame him).
This is a beautiful space and I could easily spend all day here. With the recent restrictions and warnings of huge amounts of ecoli, I would rather not go in the water tho.
The perfect mix of beach and forest that i always dreamed about.

Life in the city.
I still need to live the experience of city life and how that works and why it works like that here. I need that to compare and enjoy the life that I want in the future but also keeping in mind where i come from.
So far, I've experienced the free will of the city, good places, bad places, interesting art, cultural expressions, beautiful architecture, and the nightlife.

Spotted these boats cruising the Fraser River —such a chill scene with the water rippling and motors humming. I’m geeked out thinking about the engineering behind moving all that weight so smoothly, the driving of a human being able adapt to the movements of big machines on water and "parking" thousands of cutted trees on the edges of this river. I'm able to see this process on a random Monday with such stunning views.

Got some cool shots of random spots in downtown Vancouver—love how the city mixes chaos with those little green pockets. Snapped a few streets, some funky buildings, then there’s the library, with some cool rooftop views inside, and finally, the Gastown clock buzzing with people. 😄

Stunning views from Gladstone-Riverside Park! Being here feels unreal—calm washes over me as I pass the hours gazing at these landscapes. Even rainy days bring a fresh, beautiful vibe. Spotted a random shark cruising down the street.

Stumbled upon The Fraser River Trail, a peaceful haven! Nestled by a calm neighborhood with stunning houses, it’s lined with flowers and dotted with ducks. So few people, just nature’s quiet beauty—feeling truly blessed and inspired for my BC off-grid farm dream.

Discovered Riverwood Community Garden near the Fraser River, a hidden gem! With aprox 56 members, they save seeds for next year and have thoughtful rules for walking in. Inside, Davie the cat’s secret garden trails wind through stunning trees and flowers. I grabbed free kale from the harvest—pure community magic. Inspiring my BC off-grid farm dream! 🌱

Wandering Vancouver’s sidewalks—i like those dirt paths over concrete. The golden leaves and earthy feel spark joy and remind me of my off-grid permaculture goal in BC. 🌿

My first Vancouver nature dive when arriving! I was so surprised this was a 10 min walk and so close to Edmons Skytrain Station. Quick escape within the city to relax with the sound of the creek. 🌱

My very first pics arriving in Vancouver, where my 🇨🇦🍁 dream came true! Embracing the new city life, exploring green spaces, and soaking in inspiration for my off-grid permaculture farm. 🌱
