Canada Travel Blogs

A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Fourth of July in Montreal North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

005

So instead of writing all the minute details of every trip I take I think I'll make this more of a photo journal. Life as a student is hectic to say the least, so I'll post my photos and give some explanations here and there! Sound good? Great! My friend Aias and I wanted to do something fun for the fourth of July weekend this year. We originally thought of driving to Chicago, hear some good blues and explore the city. I had never been before so it sounded like a great plan. One night I got a message from him [View Full Entry]

Toron'do North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto

Photo 12

Before anything is said - oh my god, canada is COLD. I wear everything i own and shiver, the locals are still wearing shorts whilst daring to mention the word 'mild' - and this is still the fall, first snow due 14th then onto -35 degrees! thank god i just landed back in NY! I didn't see a moose, and the handsome mounties must have been on vacation, but i didn't exactly go camping with the bears either (can you imagine!) Landed finally after several cancelled flights due to weather in the apple, the flight was fine, especially with my good [View Full Entry]

Sun setting over Stanley Park in the Fall North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver » Stanley Park

Ben carving a pumpkin

Today, our last day in Vancouver, was a warm, sunny Sunday. We picnicked with Ally then spent the afternoon wandering around Stanley park capturing all the beautiful autumn colours as the sunset over the city. Last night was halloween so we followed tradition and carved some pumpkins, dressed up in gory outfits and bought the biggest, baddest box of fireworks we could find. The city was screaming with fireworks going off in every street, fire-truck sirens in the background and the wafting smell of gunpowder. It was a warm night so we had a few drinks, Anna (Ally's housemate) cooked us [View Full Entry]

There is reality in here somewhere.... North America » Canada » Ontario » Ottawa

No hindsight for twenty twenty at this stage but so far this is what we anticipate in a naive and dreamlike at best Hollywood meets Outward bound scenario: Day one...Siem Reap to Beng Mela temple (or close) The mileage for day one has us a bit spooked. Sixty-five KM may not be all that long to some but we are thinking that we need to keep the mileage closer to a 40-50km/day range. We will spend what is left of the daylight seeing what was once a resting location for kings traveling from Angkor Wat to the Great Preah Khan. Dinner [View Full Entry]

Sonora - Wild Luxury North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver Island

Big Resort
First impression: wow!

It's been a long time coming, but it's finally time to dust off the travel blog; engage the choke, give the pull-cord a couple tugs, give gas and fire 'er up! It's good to be unemployed again and looking forward to some amazing travels ahead! But first we thought we would throw down a little Sonora Blog to celebrate the last 6 months of employment in the rugged luxury known as Sonora Resort...(www.sonoraresort.com) After returning from Africa in January it was a lengthy interview process securing our positions at Sonroa Resort. But after many phone calls, a trip to Richmond and [View Full Entry]

A James Bay Interlude by Theresa North America » Canada » Ontario » Moose Factory

Hi Everyone! I'm up near James Bay, a few hundred kilometers south east from Dave in Churchill! My work has taken me to this pretty little place on an island in the middle of the Moose River and just a boat ride away from Moosonee where my plane landed. The Moose River drains into the James Bay. The landscape is the Hudson's Bay Lowlands and muskeg forests. The island itself and the neighbouring islands are prone to erosion because of the sandy, silty ground. Many fossils are found up here, as is the odd diamond. The diamond mine, De Beers, is [View Full Entry]

Testing Testing .. 1, 2, 3 North America » Canada » Ontario

Desk at Work
for when my travels are tough...a simple reminder of the alternative ;)

So This is what it feels like to write a blog... I have to admit, I have a new found respect for people that write entertaining blogs. I've never been the type to keep a journal, or write down and share my thoughts or feelings, so this should be interesting. Anyway, world tour starts in 5 days - next time I write one of these hopefully I will have something entertaining to write. Over and out. [View Full Entry]
