How I keep myself busy as try to keep work to a minimum? Well here's some of my Fav Chill Haunts like to hang out in Vancouver/Vansterdam/Hongcouver area! Sept 17 2017
As U can usually find me hanging at a couple of these places most months of the year! Tho mostly love da summer to hang out cuz can chill longer! (As like to smoke a doobie & meditate) Cuz usually by myself unfortunately due to my stupidity as have little patience & a big mouth! So basically being a jerk to many of my now ex-good friends! Lol Tho many good friends have also moved away! Who I miss!!
While in da winter been traveling a bit & volunteering! But been thinking this year may try my hand at writing (myb starting by writing short articles about my life experiences, etc) & also working out a bit more! Insha'allah Also like to hang out & cook a meal (with the few friends have left) at my place to enjoy their company! As think they seem to kinda enjoy coming by to chill!!
Prob my fave place to chill is Beer Island during da Day or Night any time of year! So am attaching some pics of this chill spot both during da day & at night!

U shud check it out (or join me) for the light show but bring Ur own music & I'll bring da weed! Lol Hell Beer Island is the most awesome n peaceful place in da lower mainland!! Plus its close to both my place & downtown so can bike, walk or bus there quickly!

Have to go thru the Down town East Side (DTES) to get to Crab Park! I took my daughter's boyfriend (who's from England) there this summer! He'd never seen down & out guys hanging around places like that before! Yeah the peep's bark is worse than their bite / look worse than they actually are! As he kinda labelled the area as "Sketchy Ville" & the corner of East Hastings & Main as "Sketchy Corner"!

Heck if I'm biking and down at Crab Park I'm also usually on my way to 3rd Beach! But shit who wants to go thru downtown via Gastown, Sky Train Station & the Convention Center!

Cuz when I bike I enjoy listening to my headphones after enjoying a doobie! So I bike on the side street Waterfront Road underneath the Sky Train walkway & Convention Center http://vancouver.street-map.ca/waterfront-road/ to join the bike path to by Coal Harbor to Stanley Park! Tho dislike biking on this bike path as have to be really careful of the many tourists! Who don't watch where they're walking & even more the tourists renting & riding bikes! So when get to Stanley Park I follow dirt trails thru the park rather than take the tourist laden Stanley Park seawall trail! http://vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-culture/stanley-park-trails.aspx

When go to Wreck Beach I usually take my bike on the bus cuz a long distance west against the wind to UBC! Then on my way home I ride my bike east via Spanish Bank, Jericho Beach, Kitsalano Beach, Granville Island stopping at Beer Island to chill & smoke a doobie! Plus at a few other stops along the way so it can sometimes take me up to 2 - 3 hrs to finally reach home in Mt Pleasant! lol

Plus Cool Places around BC encountered on a road trip couple yrs ago! Shit cudnt do it again this past summer cuz unfort a couple problems! Like crazy wild fires thru out BC & some problems with my truck! But will do & see again guarantee! insha'allah
While my fav mode of transportation is biking tho have a cool older pickup which use to go on road trips n camping! Tho the transit system in Vancouver is pretty cool day & late into da night too! Plus heck also dont mind walking too plus do enjoy hiking!
But think starting next year may expand my biking experiences more by myb combining it with road trips & camping cuz usually out tripping around on my own!

Hell the following article confirmed my feelings why love places like listed! Cuz they can actually help keep us sane & keep our shit together in Life! Insha'allah As my sista always asks "And, did you get outta town this weekend? Just read this article on forest bathing, aka shinrin-yoku."
Its why I often go to North Vancouver to hike thru the forest! Cuz the forest and nature have a calming healing effect which is far more than just folk wisdom! So try to enjoy a bit of quiet (?) by getting into nature!! **A very Special Place to read about & go to as wud even volunteer to take U there cuz its very chill to do it!**
BTW The week of Sept 24 - 30 2017 was National Forest Week so do some Forest Bathing!
