Meet like-minded people in Vancouver
On your own in Vancouver? Check in for the days you're there, say what you're open to, and other travellers and locals who chose to be seen can ask to join. They see your city, never your exact spot.
Vancouver offers solo travellers mountains, ocean and forest all within reach, with hiking, cycling and skiing close to the city. The vibe is relaxed and outdoorsy, with a strong food and craft beer scene. Travellers gather in Gastown, Kitsilano and around Stanley Park.
Meeting people in Vancouver: what works
- Stay near Gastown or downtown for hostels and easy access to transit.
- Cycle or walk the Stanley Park Seawall, one of the city's most popular activities.
- Join group hikes, such as the Grouse Grind or trails on the North Shore, often organised through Meetup.
- Explore Granville Island Public Market and Kitsilano Beach on sunny days.
Stay safe
Bring rain gear for the frequent wet weather, and check trail conditions and daylight hours before heading into the mountains.
Meet in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and never send money to someone you met online.
