Have dreams, will travel.
Fishing as a recreational activity is enjoyed the world over. Canada is no exception. It's a popular pastime that brings travellers from all over to fish in our clear waters. The northernmost Canadian territory of Nunavut (capital city is Iqaluit) is a superb destination to cast a line and reel in some catches. The largest... Continue Reading →
Ontario is Canada's second largest province in area as well as the most populous. It is home to the capital city of Ottawa, a very large section of Niagara Falls (the Horeshoe Falls), and Drake's hometown of The 6 (that'd be Toronto). Ontario is also where you find the Bonnechere Caves. The Bonnechere Caves are... Continue Reading →
Canada's most easterly province of Newfoundland and Labrador, in the Atlantic region has a long history dating back 9,000 years with the Maritime Archaic people. Through the millenias other cultures thrived from the Dorset Culture to Beothuk Culture. Then Europeans arrived in the 16th century. Or so we though - until it was discovered that...

The Canadian Rocky Mountains are a sight to see. I myself have only seen them briefly on a short break in Canmore, AB during a long long bus ride. It truly was one of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen. That being said, I should really see more of this incredible mountain range... Continue Reading →
In addition to the Canada's 10 provinces there are 3 territories, with the Northwest Territories nestled between the Yukon and Nunavut in the north of the country. It is here in the NWT that you find the largest lakes found entirely in Canada: Great Bear Lake and Great Slave Lake. Today we will look at... Continue Reading →
Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula (official name is La Gaspésie) is one of the province's top places to visit and a stunning area for a memorable road trip. This large peninsula (31 000+ sq km / 11 000+ sq miles) runs along the southern shore of the St Lawrence River then juts out into the Gulf of St Lawrence.... Continue Reading →
I have to admit that even though I was born and raised in this country, learned much of the geography, and even embarked on a (painfully) long bus trip through five provinces, I don't know much about the sights of the province of Saskatchewan. Having spent a few days of my youth in the capital... Continue Reading →
The easternmost of the Canada’s Prairie provinces is Manitoba. It’s capital city is Winnipeg (also home of the Winnipeg Jets NHL hockey team). If you were to head north from Winnipeg for about 100 km/ 62 miles you would come upon Grand Beach on the banks of the Lake Winnipeg. I have heard of this beach years and years... Continue Reading →
Greater Vancouver has plenty of places to get outside to take in nature and get moving. They range from easy to challenging and of course everything in between. I’ll be making a couple posts about where to take to the trails soon. Until then I will share some of the photos I took several weeks... Continue Reading →
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. One of the most incredible (that I have yet to visit) is the Bay of Fundy /Baie de Fundy. Found straddling the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia on... Continue Reading →
If you head to Canada's Okanagan Valley you will come across a number of places to enjoy yourself in, especially if you like wine and fresh fruit. The climate of this area is prime for growing some of the tastiest fruit and delectable BC wines. I myself have been to Kelowna, Penticton, and the Naramata... Continue Reading →
The effects of this pandemic are far and long reaching, no doubt about that. We have all been affected in some way. With regards to travel, I don't doubt its future will be quite different. I myself expect that I won't be leaving Canada until well into 2021, pending the safety of travel by then.... Continue Reading →
