Canada From Coast to Coast – The Yukon




Well today I’m going to talk about the Yukon, so we’re still on the Western side of the country. The Yukon shares its western border with Alaska, and the landscape, terrain is wild and mountainous with more land than people. The first thing I think when I think of the Yukon is the Aurora Borealis also known as the Northern Lights, the wonder of it! Imagine getting to watch the sky dance! So the slogan for the Yukon is “Larger Than Life”, and really it does seem appropriate! You can get there by plane or boat, but most people road-trip….


Canada From Coast to Coast – The Gulf Islands, BC.




I’m still in BC I realize that, but it’s a big province with a lot to do and experience. And frankly this group of posts would be incomplete if I didn’t dedicate a post to our gulf islands and ferry routes. The Gulf Islands comprise of 15 islands, plus numerous small islets and reef areas. The forested Gulf Islands include Mayne, Galiano, Hornby, and Gabriola. The largest is Salt Spring, famed for its locavore-minded farmers, artisan producers, and organic vineyards. Wildlife, nature, coastal activities. For more details and information on the Gulf Island check out https://gulfislandstourism.com/ All the Islands I’m…


11 Gorgeous Hotels & Luxury Rentals – Whistler, BC




Having just finished Vancouver, BC, I thought that it was only fitting that I also cover Whistler, BC. The reality is that if you go to Vancouver, you’re going to want to go there as well for more than a day. Located in the spectacular Coast Mountains of British Columbia just two hours north of Vancouver, Whistler is Canada’s favourite year-round destination. There are two majestic mountains with a vibrant base Village, epic skiing and snowboarding, four championship golf courses, unbeatable shopping, restaurants and bars, accommodation to suit every budget, hiking trails, spas and arguably the best mountain bike park…


13 Fabulous Hotels – Vancouver, BC Canada




Well I’m back with another post covering British Columbia’s biggest city, Vancouver. We tend to refer the Lower Mainland as Vancouver, but the city itself is really not that big in square mileage. For the purposes of this post I am going only writing about Downtown Vancouver. I spent the majority of my adult life living in Vancouver, and it is truly a beautiful city with much to offer and do, from its nightlife to the endless outdoor activities, most of which you can do year round. One of my favourite parts of Vancouver is the Sea Wall, a stone…


9 Unforgettable Hotels & Venues – Tofino & Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, BC Canada




So now it’s time to cover the West Coast of Vancouver Island, as I mentioned in my Victoria post. Vancouver Island is a two hour ferry ride or 30 minute flight from the Lower Mainland (Vancouver). There are several airports to which you can fly if you’re aren’t driving. Please be aware that this is not a small little Island that you can zip around, in one day, from mile zero in Victoria to Port Hardy it’s 500km / 310 miles. And if you want to reach the very north end, I think there’s a forestry service road, for another…


13 Spectacular & Hotels & Venues – Victoria, BC Canada




It’s time I finally get to my home town, Victoria, BC. This is a favourite destination for millions of tourists and Canadians every year. And there’s nowhere else in Canada I’d live! It’s not only beautiful, but offers so much to do and experience. They don’t call it beautiful British Columbia for nothing. Oddly enough I’m not biased, I know, you don’t believe me, but I have lots of other places in the world that I love to travel to. However, I haven’t met anyone that doesn’t love it here. I’m going to cover Victoria and surrounding area (maximum a…
