British Columbia — Travel Tips
- Although Vancouver is generally a safe city, visitors should avoid the notorious East Hastings area of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside
- Abbotsford International Airport has become an increasingly popular alternative to Vancouver International Airport, despite its lack of public transportation options
- Avoid venturing into British Columbia’s beautiful, yet dangerous, backcountry without an avalanche safety course or hiring an experienced guide
- Always keep your eyes peeled and ears open for cougars and bears in isolated wooded areas
