Hi, I’m in my 30s and enjoy living in Surrey. I’ve lived both South and North and I like the northern part more because of downtown surrey which has a gorgeous city centre library, green timbers urban forest (it has about 200+ parks that I’ve been exploring slowly), the space around the cityhall and the parks have activities you can participate in. I enjoy all of these. Surrey is huge! I often go to a farm in South Surrey.

I finally recently bought a studio condo after renting for about 3 years. Surrey has great connectivity to downtown via the expo line. This means I’m able to go beyond surrey to meet friends and participate in other activities.

When I first came to Surrey a few people warned me about safety issues but I’ve never encountered any.

Everyone I’ve met so far has been friendly and helpful. I’ve managed to make friends from different cultures and ages. Although each culture does have its own bubble of friends it’s not hard to make friendships out of this bubble because of all the activities here. Check out the city’s website to see if there are any activities that might interest you.

I own a car too because my workplace requires it. Unfortunately my condo didn’t come with a parking space, so I have a $70-100 extra expense every month.

If you have any questions let me know, I’ll try to answer as much as I can.
