There are some beautiful views in Victoria, Canada.
  • I live in Victoria, British Columbia, in Canada, an idyllic town featured in many Hallmark movies.
  • A typical day in my life includes plenty of coffee, lots of movement, and time with friends. 
  • I also like popping into the local shops for food, books, and records. 

If you've ever watched a Hallmark movie, you may have seen my hometown, Victoria, British Columbia. With its charming, storybook-like setting, it's become a filming hotspot.

But I like to think of my hometown as a place where "Hallmark meets hipster."
