Q & A
What would you have changed?
I would not go to Nanaimo in Vancouver Island and China Town in Vancouver.
Anything go wrong during the trip?
We could not rent a car on Vancouver Island. It was a bit annoying because public transport on the island is not well-developed.
How was the food?
I really enjoyed the bears in Port Moody (next to Vancouver) and in Distillery district in Toronto. The fish and chips in Victoria was really nice too.
What tips would you give a friend?
I would recommend my friend to rent a car on Vancouver island and in Banff. I also recommend using poparide if you do not have a driving licence.
Any surprises?
China Town was full of junkies and therefore not nice to visit. There is real drug problem.
Booking details?
Hostels and Airbnb are the cheapest way to find a place to sleep. You also have couchsurfing which is free but might be a bit dangerous if you are a girl traveling alone.
