Canada

Welcome to my Canadian adventures – where crossing the northern border opened my heart to a country that feels familiar yet wonderfully foreign. From the moment I experienced my first “eh?” and discovered that Canadian politeness isn’t just a stereotype, I knew this vast, beautiful country would steal pieces of my American soul.
Here you’ll find honest guides from someone who’s fallen hard for everything from Montreal’s European charm to the Canadian Rockies’ jaw-dropping beauty. I share the seasonal strategies that helped me embrace minus-40 winters in Quebec City, the budget hacks that make the favorable exchange rate work in your favor, and the cultural discoveries that prove Canada offers experiences you simply can’t find anywhere else.
Whether you’re planning your first cross-border adventure, seeking the perfect hurricane season escape, or ready to discover why October in Canada might just be the most beautiful month on the continent, these stories will help you navigate the Great White North like someone who’s learned to love both poutine and proper healthcare.
From free wilderness experiences that rival expensive safaris to urban adventures in Toronto and Vancouver, I believe Canada isn’t just America’s friendly neighbor – it’s a travel destination that challenges everything you think you know about North American adventures.
