Have dreams, will travel.
Seeing as Canada is the world's second largest country by landmass it is going to have some varied and cool natural places to wander in.

I could not let "Q" go by without showcasing Quebec, "la belle province". On my list of places to see in my own country is the province's capital of the same name: Quebec City/Ville de Québec (or simply Quebec) and it's annual winter festival of Carnaval de Quebec.
