• I traveled to Vancouver, British Columbia, for the first time in May.
• I made mistakes during my three-day trip that I won't repeat on my next visit to the Canadian city.
• I regretted splurging on ride-share apps and booking all my hotels in the same neighborhood.

I shouldn't have spent $50 on a cab to my hotel when I landed in Vancouver, British Columbia.
