Canada From Coast to Coast – Nunavut




Nunavut is the Canadian Arctic, and I think it’s fair to say that not many Canadians have never been, nor are they likely to go. Partially because there are no roads, I mean none that will take you there, you can only get there by air or sea, and secondly about 90% of us live along the Canada/US border, so we tend to head south or leave the country. Unfortunately, to get to up to Nunavut is not easy, there are limited numbers of flights with only 3 airlines to possibly get you there. That being said, it would be…


Canada From Coast to Coast – The Northwest Territories




Well we’ve moved on from the prairies, or should I say UP to Northern Canada. If you though British Columbia was wild, I think this takes it to another level. Living up here is not for the faint of heart, and certainly not for city girls like myself who prefer major European cities. Northern Canada is like its own country, and I think it’s fair to say that very few of us ever get there. Not because there isn’t a part of us that doesn’t think about it, but well like I said, it’s not like going to Paris. The…


Canada From Coast to Coast – Manitoba




Manitoba, the last of our Prairie provinces. In some ways you’d think they are all the same, but really they aren’t. Alberta has the Rockies and cattle, Saskatchewan lakes and farmland (the heart of our breadbasket) and Manitoba has farming the Canadian Shield and Churchill right on the Hudson’s Bay, with all its polar bears and beluga whales. Full disclosure, I spent almost 2 full years in Winnipeg, MB, and well, I only lasted 2 years…it’s either outrageously hot or crazy cold. Well that was my experience anyway, plus I missed the mountains, not because I’m a climb them kind…


Canada From Coast to Coast – Saskatchewan




Well we’ve moved on, and are now fully and officially in the Prairies, without a mountain in sight. Admittedly I’ve only spent time in Regina, and driven through on my way to and from the Coast, however, there is something beautiful about endless fields of wheat swaying in those warm prairie winds. Saskatchewan – best known for its two major cities of Saskatoon and Regina but you’ll find great food and drink, shopping, museums and even nightlife in many of their other cities. Are you a lover of camping? Then you’ll love their 35 provincial parks and two National parks,…


Canada From Coast to Coast – Banff, Jasper & The Columbia Icefields




Okay, I’m still in Alberta, I know! But really I think there is so much more to discuss when it comes to the Canadian Rockies, whether you’re on the BC side or the Alberta side. We are sticking to the Alberta side as I want to give you more details on the three following National parks. I doubt there isn’t anyone that hasn’t heard about Banff or Jasper, but so often if we aren’t going there, we don’t really know much more about a place, so I’m here to feed your imagination and inspire you. I may even throw in…
