The Story Behind A Typical
This isn’t the kind of Vancouver guide you’ll find in a travel brochure. A Typical was created to share the places that capture the city’s real comfort and charm — the coffee shops where people linger, the secondhand corners full of character, the spots you stumble on that make you feel at home.
Here you won’t find a checklist of must-sees or the usual tourist stops. Instead, you’ll discover the everyday places that make Vancouver feel alive — the quiet corners, the cozy favorites, the stories tucked between the busy streets.

I am a 27 year-old born and raised in Vancouver. I’ve always loved exploring the city, not by chasing what’s popular, but by noticing the little things that give each neighborhood its soul. Writing A Typical is my way of sharing those finds with you, so you can experience Vancouver the way locals live it.
A Typical is about connecting with the city.
Noticing the character tucked into side streets, the warmth of familiar spots
and the people bring it to life. We hope this blog encourages you to
slow down, look around, and enjoy the charm in the everyday.
