Wether that is in the mountains, within the city or inside the endless coffee shops around town; everyone is welcome to Wander Vancouver.
Our goal is to connect the community and motivate them to go explore the beauty. We want to help everyone in the Vancouver area meet people with similar interests and locate fun hikes and other activities, photography hotspots and adventures to fill their day with wonder.

The Backstory
Wander Vancouver was created by Carl-Eric Blanchet, a local visionary and adventure addict who wanted to bring the people of Vancouver together and build a one-stop database for adventure. The big idea was to create a platform to connect the people of this beautiful city and make it easy to find others who share similar interests while providing them with wandering ideas and information on all locations in the greater Vancouver area.
Carl's goal went into fruition when he started featuring artists on the instagram account Β @wandervancouverΒ in January of 2017 and the quest to build a community began. Fast forward to 2019, after dedicating endless hours to this project, the Wander Vancouver website is live and contains a real community building platform as well as a growing database of activities / locations in and around Vancouver, BC.
