Blog: i Backpack Canada - 25 April 2012
The other day I came across Travel Alberta’s incredible award-winning (Remember to Breathe) tourism video, which somehow or another brought me to browsing the videos of every provincial & territorial tourism board.

My 5 Favourite Beaches in Vancouver, British Columbia
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 11 April 2012
Vancouver has beaches. Lots of ‘em. Many people from afar tend to picture Canada as a year round frozen hell. That’s not the case, especially for Vancouver. The so called “California of the north” is filled with eager people craving to take in as much Vitamin D as they possibly can during the warm sunny months.

6 Moments In Time That Make Me Ashamed To Be Canadian
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 15 February 2012
Canada has an uncanny ability to be painted as a picturesque, romantic, eco-conscious and friendly nation. A nation filled with a mosaic of peoples, languages, cultures, and traditions. A nation where recycling is the norm, where people hold doors open for others, where assassins use pies instead of bullets, and where you can find a [...]6 Moments In Time That Make Me Ashamed To Be Canadian is a post from: I Backpack Canada

Exploring Canada’s Seaside with Kids
Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 28 September 2011
In my years of travel I’ve learned kids and water are usually a good combination. The kids don’t even necessarily have to be in it, just close enough to see it. Maybe it’s the sounds of water or the cries of seagulls. Whatever it is, I’ve found a new place that has it - Canada’s Steveston Village.

Lady in Victoria, BC
Blog: A Lady in London - 9 September 2011
The final destination on my Pacific Northwest tour was Victoria in British Columbia. I was excited to visit the capital of BC and explore a city about which I had heard so many good things. My ferry from Salt Spring Island to Swartz Bay arrived at 12:30pm and I hopped on a bus to Victoria. [...]

Lady on Salt Spring Island
Blog: A Lady in London - 8 September 2011
I’m a city girl. I may have grown up in a town with more horses than people, but ever since I left for college I have been addicted to the urban lifestyle. From Providence to Prague, San Francisco to San Diego, my city dwelling sometimes makes me forget important things like where my food comes [...]

Photo Du Jour – Kalamalka Lake in the Okanagan Valley
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 2 September 2011
I love coming across locations in Canada that break my preconceived ideas of what Canada “looks like”. It’s all too easy to sum up Canada as a big giant nation with mountains, lakes, some arctic regions, a few prairies and a whole bunch of trees. However, there’s many places across Canada that defy that notion.

6 Things I Learned Rafting the Kicking Horse River
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 22 June 2011
A white shuttle bus pulled in front of the doors of the SameSun Hostel in Banff. The doors clunked open. “Hello mate, ready for some rafting?” – Banff has got to be one of the only places in Canada where it’s totally normal to be greeted by an Aussie. We laughed and replied with a [...]6 Things I Learned Rafting the Kicking Horse River is a post from: I Backpack Canada

Blog: Vagabond3 - 17 June 2011
With only three and a half days in Vancouver, we had to pick and choose what we were going to be able to do, and today we sacrificed part of what brought us to the city in the first place. We skipped out on the morning session of TBEX to take a bike ride around Stanley Park and see a few sites that other bloggers had been talking about. As...

#TBEX Day 1

TBEX in Vancouver. If you’ve read my previous post, than you know how excited I am for this weekend. The new Vancouver Convention Center set the scene for a weekend of travel blog panels. Located right on the water and surrounded by beautiful glass buildings, it’s no wonder this area gets coined ‘City of Glass’. It reflects the water and scenery from the north shore mountains and adds to the...
