O, beautiful BC.
75 KM
This extremely popular trail on Vancouver Island is for seasoned hikers and takes about a week to complete. It's a coastal trail with incredible views of the Island's wilderness.
*A note that this hike is only open seasonally.
6 KM together
These series of trails, found in Lighthouse Park near Vancouver, is great for those looking for a nice walk with gorgeous rainforest and coastal views. Don't miss the lighthouse (well, you can't really)!
17 KM
This day hike is good for intermediate-to-advanced hikers. The path can be steep, but you will be rewarded with pretty views from Bowen Island.
11 KM
Stawamus Chief Hike is a day hike near Squamish, BC. It's a fairly strenuous climb up the mountain, but there are three different peaks you can visit and the views of Howe Sound are worth it.
This did, at one point, strike me as a good idea.
The Battle of the Burger pittied six of the city's bars and restaurants against each other in a celebration of all things beefy (and a little bit porky, too).

Danny told BuzzFeed Life, "we thought it'd be great if we had a cool event where we pitch all these burgers against each other in a really friendly competition. There's going to be no losers here," he explained.

"A token's a vote," Hughes said. Each token costs £3 and pays for your burger. "But we wanted something to separate that from being all about footfall so we've asked three judges to come in and they wield 10 votes themselves. That gives people a bit of nose room to pip it at the post."

"They've all come at it wanting to win; they've all put some time into thinking about how they're going to do it," Hughes said.

“New York, I love you, but you’re bringing me down…”
"I was coming home from my friends place in Brooklyn late one night so there were only two other people in the subway car. This normal looking man in a suit came on and sat as close to me as physically possible and then told me to stand up and block him so he could change his outfit. I was so confused/scared but I went with it. When it was my stop he gave me a flashlight key chain and told me to be safe out in the world!"

"One time I saw this lady dressed entirely in green. She had green overalls, and green lipstick, and green hair and a green backpack. I sat next to her and she gave me a business card that read 'The Green Lady' with her email address and picture of her on it. I still have the card somewhere."

The best things couples can do in the capital for under a tenner
Cost: free (tips appreciated)
The nice people at Sandeman's offer a three hour tour of Dublin every day that doesn't cost a penny.
You meet at City Hall at either 11am or 2pm, and off you go around the city. You'll take in Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, Christ Church and St Stephen's Green, all the while learning about the history of the city, from Vikings to 1916 to er, U2.
Cost: free
Take advantage of the stunning green enclave on the outskirts of the city by cycling along its many dedicated paths. You'll see roaming deer, take in the President's gaff at Aras An Uachtarain, and if you bring a frisbee you can have the lolz in one of the wide open spaces. If you have a tenner between you, visit The Lo-Cal Kitchen (beside the race track) for coffee and some famous Paleo Chocolate Brownies (€2.40 each)
Cost: A couple of sambos
From wild swans to a tribute to Patrick Kavanagh, a ramble along the Grand Canal is an eye-opener (and great exercise). There are food markets dotted along it on Thursdays and Fridays if you have the cash to buy. Start at the Harold's Cross junction and wander all the way to the dock.
Cost: free
A beautiful and romantic setting, take a walk around the college's grounds and take in the gorgeous buildings. Best to visit in summer when the students are off and the weather is good, so you can stretch out on the lawn outside The Pav and relax.
Niagara Falls, Cinderella’s Castle at Disney World, and numerous landmarks across the country were lit up in celebration of marriage equality and Pride weekend!

HBO surveyed 2,000 adults, who say their favourite films and TV shows influence their next travel destination. And it turns out, they'd rather journey to Middle Earth than be in (Sex and) the City.

Or should that be… Loverpool? (Sorry.)
It may be a tad outside the city centre, but a short bus ride will whisk you away to a a picturesque, romantic setting. Particularly gorgeous in spring.
Yes, it may be known as a cinema (which is a decent date location in itself), but is by no means your average one. This place is home to creative exhibitions, and has a great cafe and bar to enjoy, even if you're not intent on watching a film.

There are plenty of shops and places to eat amidst the heritage of the docks, but it's genuinely a lovely place for wandering. Oh, and there's a gorgeous waterfront view.
