The Populist is the insider's guide to what's happening in all the international cities.
The most popular lists to explore where to stay, what to eat and where to party.
For both tourists and locals who want to know their city better.
OUR STORY
The Populist was created in 2015 in Vancouver, Canada as a visual city guide to inspire and bring people together through the best food, entertainment and like-minded lifestyles.
Almost a decade and a pandemic later, the world has changed and is much more nomadic, so instead of focusing on just one city - we're hanging out in all of them. Wherever the fun is, The Populist is there to show you the best things to do.
We want to inspire everyone to enjoy life to its fullest.
THE CREW (Yin-Yang)

Rebecca grew up in the Film and TV Industry and was subjected to the magic from a young age.
