Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Anyone who can recommend a driving school/package? I can see several websites such as Passmefast and Red Driving school, so not sure of how to select. I am a beginner so ideally I’d like some theory and many hours of driving lessons. I am based in East London. Cost is also a factor… the prices here are extortionate compared to my home country.
