When it comes to polite and welcoming locals, Vancouver has to be one of the nicest places I've traveled to. Growing up in the states, (SF Bay Area to be exact) you're lucky if people don't run you down if you try to pick up something you drop. So when I witnessed someone drop their food and almost simultaneously a group of strangers began helping clean up the mess, I was blown away. Besides this crazy experience, the city has some really amazing views and a surprisingly live nightlife. I want to take another visit but its cold often and I'm not built for that type of weather.
If you are looking for an adventure then you're in for a treat when visiting Paris. The city is not very big which makes getting around that much easier. There are so many historical landmarks and museums to visit, even getting lost is a great time. I can say this from first hand experience. If you have a trip coming up, try to plan a day full of activities because it won't be hard to get from point A to point B. Some of my favorite activities were tours of The Eiffel tower, the Louvre Museum, and Musee D'orsay. I really wanted to check out the Catacombs of Paris with all the skulls in the underground ossuaries but we weren't able to squeeze it in. There are plenty of good food spots around these landmarks too.
The History of PR was really awesome to learn about. They have parts of Old San Juan that date back to the 16th century! We went on a Rum tour throughout the historical district and it legit felt like going in a time machine. The El Yunque Rain Forest had a ton of history dating back to the slave era. We learned they even had plants imported from India to help them track runaway slaves. If you're looking for some fun at night, La Placita is the place to be. The entire island has some amazing energy and I look forward to revisiting.
