Love Glo Says Podcast

So interesting what Glo Says does in seeking out Vancouver’s hidden gems and talent. I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Glo Says at Maker Labs and enjoyed our interview and now learning more about what Vancouver has to offer from food, coffee, music, fashion and other talent in the Vancouver area.

Source for hidden gems for locals and visitors alike!

“Glo says” unearths some great local businesses, products and services, those hidden gems you don’t usually hear about, even as a local! As an expat, I can’t wait until I can get back to Vancouver to visit some of these places! Keep it up Gloria!
