Vancouver in Canada can best be described as the globe in a nutshell. How's that? The short answer is that the city simply has everything that a traveling person would like to experience.
Surrounded by coast, sea and the most beautiful mountains, Vancouver is filled with a skyline of glass skyscrapers you usually only see in movies. You would hardly believe it, but in the very same town, you have the opportunity to go to the beach or directly the opposite, namely to ski at some of the city's famous mountains.
Vancouver is not only for those who want a wildly vibrant city life with an amazing skyline, because there is also access to beautiful parks and natural areas where you can enjoy "the scenery" and feel zen with peace of body and mind.
As one of the few North American cities, Vancouver is super bike-friendly with about 1,300 kilometers of bike lanes in the city, which means you can easily get around to various bars, eateries, chinatown and all the incredible places Vancouver has to offer.

I was looking for a freemover stay abroad through Uniclub and I got some of the best service I have experienced. They took care of all the practicalities, and removed almost all the hassle of work it can be to apply for an exchange stay.

Had fantastic service and help throughout the process. Would definitely recommend
I am going to Australia for a semester, and before finding Uniclub the whole application seemed impossible. These guys are simply the best. They have the right answer for literally every question that you have. They are helpful, quick, with excellent service
Uniclub and Deni Isic, get my absolute warmest recommendation! I had a dream of coming to Japan that seemed distant and unmanageable, but Deni and the rest of Uniclub have helped me through the whole process.
I have just returned from my exchange stay in Ireland, which would not have been possible if it were not for Uniclub. If you are looking for an exchange as a freemover, then I can not recommend UniClub enough!
