Itinerary Overview

Today, I'm going to tell you about a country where I lived for a year: Canada. We all know this huge country. On the other hand, some clichés persist as on its climate, we will see it in this article.

I had a wonderful year thanks to the open-mindedness and the mentality of its inhabitants. Moreover, the nature is luxuriant but for the most city-dwellers among you, life in some cities is very pleasant.

I'm going to talk about two different areas : the eastern part which is French speaking with Montreal (Quebec) and the western part, the British part, with Vancouver Island (British Columbia).

PS: Vancouver Island is absolutely not Vancouver. The latter is an Americanized city on the continent that has nothing to do with the island.

Q & A

    Maybe stay more in the nature and less in the city. But I’m a City Guy.

    Complicated! The best is self-cooking, for sure.

  • What tips would you give a friend?

    Do not hesitate to ask help to Canadian people. One of the most gentle population of Earth. Maybe you’ll end up sleeping in their house as their guest.

  • Packing tips?

    Couchsurfing works perfectly in Canada. Great country to do it.

  • Transportation Tips?

    Territory is huge, so be careful at your trajectory! Prepare-it in advance
