5 Things Vancouver: Selina Rajani

by Dan
Travel + Vancouver / February 18, 2010

Selina Rajani—the artist formerly known as Raincoast Books Senior Publicist—is 10-year veteran of the book business, now expanding her horizons as Communications Manager for Vancouver Opera.

What neighbourhood do you live in?
Yaletown. Home of many small dogs. (But that's okay, because they fit well in the small apartments).

What is the single best thing about living in Vancouver?
So much sushi, so little snow. I guess that's two things. But they're both the best.

What’s the one place everyone should visit?
A Terminal City Rollergirls rollerderby bout!

Who is your favourite Vancouver author?
Ivan E. Coyote

Where’s the best place for coffee?
Agro in Yaletown, with the Wicked on Hornby a close second.

What’s the most common misconception visitors have about Vancouver?
That it rains all the time, of course. And that everyone here snowboards. I tried to snowboard once. I tore two muscles that day. I will never snowboard again.

Bonus:
Why should people live in Vancouver and not just visit?
Maybe if more people come, we'll get more arts funding!

Thanks Selina!
