I Backpack Canada

  • Updates from my life: A Moustache, A Marriage, and Too Much School!

    I was having a conversation with Jessica Bedford, the halifamous fashion blogger behind Haute.Halifax yesterday night about blogging. I was telling her how little I’ve had to write about as of lately. We both agreed we leave a lot of our personal lives out of our blogs and typically stick to the content. This got me thinking that…

  • The Sunday Canadian Travel Video: Fernie Alpine Resort

    Almost an entire month has gone by since my last post. Needless to say there hasn’t been a lot backpacking/travel going on in my life at the moment, which in turn has caused the amount of posts to putter down. Fortunately I’ve been keeping busy. School at the moment is going great, and I’m loving…

  • The Sunday Canadian Travel Video: Whistlers Nightlife

    There are two things everyone discovers upon checking out Whistler. First thing is how awesome the mountain is, winter or summer. The second thing they discover, is how awesome Whistlers nightlife is. See for yourself.

  • The Sunday Canadian Travel Video: A tour of the Canadiana Backpackers Inn

    Voted Top Hostel in North America, The Canadiana Backpackers Inn which is located in Toronto, Ontario is themed in all things Canuck.

Included in this list were heavy weights Lonely Planet, Gadling, Matador, Nomadic Matt and Travelling Greener. I follow a large…

In honour of the holidays and the loving idea that families should get along and just be good to one another, I’ve managed to find a cool family travel video. This Canadian Travel Video stars travel writer, Robin Esrock, from such…

  • Ogopogo – The Canadian Lake Monster

    Hidden deep within the chilly waters of Lake Okanagan, something lurks. Something big, something nasty, something…Jurassic. Or at least that’s what many in the area believe. Despite the lack of scientific evidence to back up these unique stories and sightings, people continue to gather around Lake Okanagan hoping to catch a glimpse of this ancient…

  • The Sunday Canadian Travel Video: Moose Travel Networks Big East Tour

    I’m embarrassed to admit that another week has gone by with very little writing done. However, I have some posts in the work, so fear not, something quasi-entertaining should be around the corner real soon. So to keep my feed active, and just because I love browsing videos. Here’s another Canadian Travel Video that shows…

    Sundays are typically a pretty boring day for me, so in a selfish bid to make Sundays a little more exciting in my eyes, and hopefully yours, I’ve decided to start scouring the tubes of the internet in order to find some inspirational Canadian Travel Videos. In this age, it isn’t hard to find travel…
