Photographer and skateboarder Norma Ibarra shares her Travel Playbook for Vancouver, a city that holds a special place in her heart.
Listen
Granville Island
Island
Vancouver, BC, Canada
"I love going to Granville Island. It’s a classic spot that I usually take my friends whenever they come to visit, because it’s by the water, but you also get the market where you can buy food, crafts, souvenirs, art and photos. It’s a lot of things you can experience, all in one place."

Lynn Canyon Park
Tourist Attraction
3663 Park Rd, North Vancouver, BC V7J 3K2, Canada
"I used to live in North Vancouver, so I used to go to Lynn Canyon a lot. Whenever someone comes to visit me, I like to take them to the classic places like Lynn Canyon."
Norma IBARRA
The University of British Columbia
University
Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada
"The UBC University is a very classic place to skateboard around, so that’s another place that we skateboarders usually go to."
Norma IBARRA
Lighthouse Park
Park
4902 Beacon Ln, West Vancouver, BC V7W 1K5, Canada
"Stanley Park is a classic, but I would say Lighthouse Park, which is a little bit more remote, is a hidden gem. You get to be by the water and beautiful landscapes."
