Canada is one of my favourite countries – and for good reason! I spent half of 2018 living in Vancouver and absolutely loved it. I first visited Canada in 2006 to see family in the Rockies, returned in 2008 to visit a friend near Toronto (I found cheap bus tickets to and from New York City, so why not?!) and eventually visited the west coast and Rockies again in 2016, which kickstarted my love for Vancouver and drew me back two years later.

Back in 2024, a devastating fire ripped through Jasper National Park. Canada is sadly no stranger to wildfires in the summer months, but this was different. A third of Jasper town was destroyed, and people lost homes, businesses and livelihoods. Nobody was unaffected. It’s because of this that I wanted to make sure I scheduled …
I’ve spent a lot of time watching the sea planes taking off and landing over Vancouver’s harbour, so I decided on this trip that I’d like to finally take a ride on one of them. The problem is, when I looked at Harbour Air’s website, I discovered that they also offer a scenic flight from …
It’s decided: the age-old question of if you could only travel to one country for the rest of your life, where would it be? Mine is Canada. I’ve spent a lot of time in Canada over the years; almost ten months of my life, in fact. In that time, I’ve mostly only seen BC and …
It took me a long, long time to go through all our photos from Canada when we got home in 2018. Six months, in fact. This is because we took over 120 photos of the Icefields Parkway ALONE. Not the lakes that we stopped at; just the mountains as we drove through this epic part …
I can never really decide if I want to do a year in review post until it gets to Christmas and I suddenly realise the year’s almost over and start looking back at what I’ve done, what’s happened and thinking about what’s going to happen. 2018 has been a really strange year for me. I …
A road trip in the Canadian Rockies in October was always going to be a risk. The last time I went to the Icefields Parkway, arguably one of the most beautiful scenic drives in the world, it was September and we had low clouds and rain on the way up the Icefields Parkway, and slightly …
I decided a few months ago that I’d quite like to paraglide in Canada. After all – the beautiful mountain vistas provide the perfect backdrop, and it would be my first time paragliding so I couldn’t think of a better place. I found out that you could paraglide from Grouse Mountain with spectacular views of …
I’m always excited to visit Banff. It might help that I have some awesome family there, but Banff in itself is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, so I’m lucky to have excuses to visit often (if 3 times in 12 years counts as often). But on this trip, we’d be …
I was always undecided about whether I would make it over to Vancouver Island. As someone who travels with the intention of gobbling up every place I can set foot on, I had to wonder why Victoria wasn’t screaming out to me. I mean, I didn’t not want to visit, and after all I’d had …
It’s no secret that I love Vancouver and feel extremely blessed to be living in one of the best cities in the world. So I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes Vancouver so great. It took me five days in 2016 to decide that I wanted to live here (actually, I think I made …
