My experience in Canada
For those who know me, it comes as no surprise that Western Canada is my favorite place on Earth. In 2018, I fulfilled a childhood dream of experiencing the Canadian Rockies with Moraine Lake serving as the centerpiece of that dream.
Since then, I’ve returned to Western Canada nearly ten times, each road trip spanning at least a week or longer. While Canada is a vast country filled with endless landscapes, you’ll quickly notice my bias: I am always drawn back to the mountains.
From the towering peaks of the Rockies and Coastal Mountains to the turquoise lakes, glaciers, and endless hiking trails, Western Canada continues to inspire me with every visit. I hope you’ll find inspiration to explore and help protect this incredible corner of the world, just as I have. Safe travels!
