— Once Upon A Time In Vancouver is a lifestyle blog by Navroop, an avid dreamer writing to you from unceded Coast Salish territories —

Growing up I always had a fascination with photography, seeing stunning imagery displayed in moving ways while flipping through magazines and watching inspiring cinematography. After picking up the camera myself and eventually letting my mind run far with dreams of what I wanted to make, I became absolutely captivated by the world of creating.

Over the years I’ve found my inspiration through the glimmering blues and greens of British Columbia’s nature scene. And so, I started sharing the allure of Vancouver and its surrounding areas on Instagram in 2012. After no time at all, I became ‘Once Upon A Time In Vancouver’, writing an ever-growing love letter to my total gem of a home. Since then, my passion for sharing just lakes and mountains has bloomed because — let’s be honest — I love to spend hours experimenting in the kitchen, diving into skincare, and reflecting on life & the world, too!

So, with a heart enamored by creating beautiful things, I cannot wait for you to follow along as I share my travels, delicious food, self care tips, beauty bits & bobs, and whatever else I’m dabbling in!
