PS … Considering Relocating? Let’s Talk. Not only has Vancouver been voted best city in the world to live in (did you catch that?! BEST city in the world!) but its location, nestled on the Pacific Coast surrounded by endless ocean inlets and cragged mountain peaks makes the landscape breath taking.  The EIU study that ranked Vancouver the number one city in the world to live in assessed nearly 40 indicators judging stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.  Boasting world class restaurants, resorts, skiing that surpasses that of Aspen, the runner ups in the competition were Vienna, Geneva and Austria.
