TRAVEL MINDSET · 03 Go Alone Stop waiting for someone to travel with. YOUR ADVENTURE. YOUR TIMELINE. I started travelling alonein my twenties… Waiting for everyone’s plans to align was a real mission.

If you’re planning a trip to Banff, chances are Lake Louise and Moraine Lake are already on your list and honestly, for good reason! Both sit within Banff National Park, part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site, and their turquoise water and dramatic mountain backdrops have made them famous worldwide.

I spent two months driving across Canada, and I saw just how wildly diverse this country is – mountains, coastlines, cities, badlands, endless prairies. I truly wouldn’t dismiss any of it. Every landscape had its own character, and every part of the journey gave me something different. But the Icefields Parkway was something else entirely….
Turquoise lakes, towering peaks, and glaciers tucked between rugged summits: the Canadian Rockies were one of the places I was most excited to explore on my summer road trip across Canada. These three days became one of my favourite parts of the journey. Snow-covered mountain ridges viewed from a helicopter flight over the Canadian Rockies….

TRAVEL MINDSET · 02 You Don’t Need to Quit Your Job to Travel More A different way to think about work, travel and the life you want to create.

Quebec City deserves at least two or three days, but some of the region’s most memorable landscapes lie beyond the city walls. Within a few hours, you can reach waterfalls, islands, mountain villages, national parks and some of the prettiest roads along the St. Lawrence River. The best day trips from Quebec City include Île…
If you have 2 days in Quebec City, you have enough time to explore Old Quebec, visit Montmorency Falls and experience a little of the countryside surrounding the city without racing from one attraction to the next. I live in Quebec City, and I designed this itinerary to follow a logical route. Day one takes…
