A Local’s Guide To The Perfect Summer Weekend In Whistler
How To Spend A Summer Weekend In Whistler – 4-Day Itinerary Welcome to Whistler, nature’s playground and home to North America’s largest ski resort. During the months of November through to April Whistler is a winter wonderland, and in the summer it becomes a Mountain Paradise. Since moving to Canada three years ago I’ve tried Skiing, Snowmobiling, Snowshoeing & Ice Fishing during the winter months. I’ve discovered although I enjoy all those activities, my body simply doesn’t! I get cold – like really cold during the winter months due to bad blood flow. So once the summer rolls around I get super excited for all the hiking, sunbathing, camping and…

Visiting The Picturesque Town Of Quebec City
I recently came back from a 5-day trip to Montreal to visit my friend Laura. I was really eager to get in a visit to Quebec City. After much searching online, I made the decision to book a guided tour. You can get to Quebec City via bus and train but it costs the exact same as booking a one-day tour. Maybe the cost of a bus or train would be worth it if you were staying for a few days but I only had time for a day trip. Our tour was supposed to start at 8am; we were put behind by 30 minutes because the hotel shuttle was…

A City Girl Eats: Montreal, Quebec
A City Girl Eats: Montreal This past month I visited Montreal for the first time. I was pretty excited to see what Quebec offers in terms of food and I was not disappointed. Poutine I’d never heard of poutine and had no idea what it was when I first moved to Canada. I guess it’s just like cheesey chips and gravy, for anyone who’s from the UK. But poutine is different, it’s cheese curds and they have to be fresh! If they don’t squeak in your mouth, it’s not a good poutine. After waiting two years to try my first poutine I finally did so in Quebec, and it was…

My First Camping Trip In Tofino, Vancouver Island
Located on the west side of Vancouver Island, Tofino is Canada’s surf capital. Tofino boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes and beaches. I’d never heard of Tofino before, until my friend moved there for summer. I spent four days exploring the coastal town. Our first stop was the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal, we were taking the ferry to Nanaimo. I’d took this trip on foot once before to meet Matt’s parent’s and we were lucky enough to see a pod of Orca in the ocean. Our ferry journey was relatively calm but no Orca’s this time. Driving through Vancouver Island was incredible. I was bummed we didn’t have more…
