Many travelers will follow the travel advice of a travel agent to travel UK cities in a very affordable manner. The advice they receive might recommend the best cities to stop in that offer low priced lodging locations that could put them up in a bed breakfast overnight or in a five star hotel that looks over the River Thames. After a good night’s sleep and a good meal under their belt, a traveler will be very thankful to the travel agent for giving such good advice.
The travel agent will also advise on the best travel routes to take to get to the United Kingdom. These routes might take them through the northern parts of Scotland where the traveler will really enjoy the short layovers for a change. While at that location they can enjoy duty free shopping and have a pint of Scottish lager too. The travel agent might have advised to limit quantities of ale consumed to low quantities until they are safely at their final destination.
Some travel agents can offer advice about holiday travel in the United Kingdom that could save a traveler a lot of time. They can tell them when the banks will be closed and where they can get currency exchanged. Banks of Scotland, England and Wales close for holidays and with some good advice about the hours of operation a Traveler is assured of never running out of cash that they need for lodging and miscellaneous living expenses.
Many cities post advice to travelers at major travel ports all over the city. A traveler might not have to rely on the advice of strangers to find their way through a city that they have never been to before. Many cities post maps at the entrance to subway stations that tell travelers what the names of all of the stops are along the routes that any smart traveler might take. Families can ensure that they stay together while they use these trains for shopping and can arrange a meeting point if they get separated at some point in the day.
A travel agent might provide good advice that travelers can use throughout the United Kingdom. The British telecom systems can be difficult to manage if a traveler does not have a good understanding about how country codes are used and what countries they are used for. A traveler is certainly going to want to make calls back to the United States and with some good advice, they will have plenty of British telecom phone cards that they can use to call Home and tell friends and family members the sights that they have been seeing.

Vancouver is a great city. It’s easily the most laid-back Canadian city; much more than cities like Toronto or Montreal. If you’re coming from the U.K., you’ll be glad to know Canada is quite British in culture, so the biggest thing to get used to is the fact we Canadians drive on the wrong side of the road.
There are areas of Vancouver to stay away from — the East End can be kind of rough and there are loads of junkies. Last time I was there I had the pleasure of watching a group of skinheads beating up on a poor newspaper box. Aside from that, you’ll be OK.
Kitalo, the West End, and Point Grey are all lovely areas of the city.
Enjoy your stay.

I know they make a lot of movies in Vancouver, Canada. Are you interested in being an "extra" for a start?

I think you should be aware that although Vancouver is a beautiful city, it is also a very expensive city. The Winter Olympics are coming so everything is pricey. The weather is great but rainy in the winter. I think you should consider farther inland or maybe another province. Alberta is good. No sales tax. And tons of work. So I guess you have to decide if climate and scenery are worth the price you have to pay. Plus the cost of gas is outrageous. lol. Hope this helped a bit.

Downtown Vancouver and Kitsilano and South Granville (between Granville Island and 16th Ave) and North Vancouver (near the Quay) are the areas that have the best and highest concentration of entertainment, shops, restaurants, and public transit services. True, it’s cheaper to live in Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Surrey but then you have to consider the time and money spent on commutting. Yes, do avoid East Vancouver (roughly east of Main Street) it is a dodgy neighbourhood. Websites for accomodation:

The retail, tourism, construction, and food industry is always looking for new recruits. The three local ski hills during the winter time are always looking for applicants: Grouse Mountain, Cypress Mountain and Mount Seymour. Here are some of the more popular online job classifieds:

Have you ever thought of working at Whister and Blackcomb resorts? It’s about an hour and a half’s drive north of Vancouver. Last year they had problems filling the 3,500 to 5,000 positions needed to run the resort. It’s popular all year round – in the summer people come here to golf, hike, fish, mountain bike, etc. The largest employer there is Intrawest. They usually have a 3 day job fair every October. And, a number of employers offer accomodation with employment.

Vancouver is awesome if you’re a pothead. Cambie and Hastings is where it’s at. Don’t go any further East, though. The warnings about the junkies and skinheads are true. Check out the New Amsterdam Cafe at 303 West Hastings. Make sure you head by Commercial Drive too, but most importantly – DO NOT MISS WRECK BEACH. UBC campus. Clothing optional hippie beach. Packed with thousands daily in the peak of summer. Happy travels!

Vancouver is a beautiful city, but it is pricey.
If you are looking at renting an apartment in downtown, you can expect to pay a minimum of $1000 per month for a cramped one bedroom with no extras.
Alternatively, you can rent in one of the surrounding cities and save some cash, and just commute every day to your jobs.
I personally live in Surrey, it’s close to most of the highways and bridges, and the rent isn’t totally stupid (yet)
