There hasn’t been a whole lot changed on my website in a while. The last big updates were including larger images on the homepage, the introduction of photo essays, and some subtle changes in terms of background textures. While there’s plenty of photos to browse and enough content to read to keep you busy for weeks, the one thing I always felt was lacking on I Backpack Canada was video.I was... read more

There are few relationships that go as deep as those between America and Canada. Which is why I highly recommend if you’re going to be backpacking Canada, you’d be a fool not to consider backpacking America as well. I stumbled upon this video yesterday after spending a full day working through another weekend (Who does that!?). The beautiful scenery and strong words remind me that us Canadians,... read more
Sunday Canadian Travel Video: What is Canada to the United States of America?
Nov 6, 2011 
It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve managed to find a video I wanted to share. Totally my bad, I’ve been pretty preoccupied trying to sort out the next couple months of my life. To say I’ve been busy would be the biggest understatement of the decade. Thankfully there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and once I get through the next 6 weeks, my life will be a lot more simple.... read more
Sunday Canadian Travel Video – Full Mountie – Lonely Planet in Saskatchewan
Oct 16, 2011 
I recently stayed at this incredible new hostel in Toronto called Planet Traveler. (A proper review is coming). To sumarize the stay. It’s incredible! Modern, eco friendly, and best of all has an amazing view of downtown Toronto from their rooftop patio & lounge. While I was catching up on photo edits & some serious amounts of writing I decided to test the limits of my gorillapod & setup... read more
Sunday Canadian Travel Video – Toronto Skyline Timelapse
Oct 2, 2011 
Ontario blew my mind. Those four words have been repeated countless times in the last week. I’ve been editing photos, video, and squeezing in writing as often as I can in order to show everyone what exactly I mean by that. I finally managed to find time to quickly edit this time lapse video of the Ontario Scenery. This time lapse was taken from the Dorset Scenic Lookout Tower. It’s located on... read more

I’ve been on a real west coast stint as of lately with Fridays photo of Vancouvers Skyline and countless posts in the last couple months about British Columbia. So just to be consistent, I’ve decided to share a video by Tourism Canada of one of my favourite locations in Canada. Tofino is a surf town at its very core, and its a great stop for backpackers. There’s a couple Hostels in town,... read more

For the last year or so, my redheaded friend from Newfoundland (Candice Does The World) has been bugging me to come for a visit to explore the rock in the Atlantic that she calls home. There’s been a few occasions where I had the flight setup online, all I had left to do was fill out the payment details. It seems like I let the purchase time out all the time; however, one of these days that will... read more

I was doing some writing last night along the Halifax boardwalk and decided to test out a new app I had recently purchased from the iTunes store. I found an old barnacle shell and propped my iPhone up on the slanted bench and proceeded to record for just over an hour. I know that this is technically in “Video” format, but it was shot using all stills. I am honestly pretty surprised with the... read more
Photo Du Jour – Time Lapse of a Halifax Sunset
Aug 14, 2011 
While I have yet to make the long and arduous journey up to the North West Territories, I’ve found myself going through videos and photos of some of the sights and sounds of the region for years. One of my favourite natural wonders of the north is the Aurora Borealis. This video gives you a brief glimpse at the colours & shapes you may see in the skies of Northern Canada. High 5′s go out to... read more

One of the things I miss most about my home province of Saskatchewan is catching the famous Saskatchewan sunsets. There’s a reason why they call this province the “Land of the Living Skies”. Matthew Garand managed to capture a piece of that, so hats off to him for that. Despite the beauty of this time lapse, videos don’t do these sunsets justice. Experiencing a Saskatchewan Sunset,... read more

The other day I was browsing online looking for Matt Mays tour schedule, knowing he typically plays in Halifax during the summer. While on his website I saw a banner for The National Parks Project that he was involved in. Curious as to why I’d never heard of it, I clicked. I was then greeted by a welcoming voice, breathtaking video, and a fancy user interface. Consider my attention grabbed.Between... read more

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 every day of it in the Digital Media & Graphic Design program. I’ve been taking on... read more

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

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 off some of my favourite parts of Canada on a popular party roadtrip... read more

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 videos on the internet, however a lot of them seem to lack a certain “gusta” that... read more

A couple things you need to know before watching this video. 1. Matt Mays is the cats pajamas. 2. Sam Roberts is the bee’s knees. So if you haven’t heard of either them for some reason, hit up iTunes and check them out. They’re some of the few true blue rockers left in the music industry these days, and they pull it off with grace and 100% sheer awesomeness. Matt Mays‘... read more

I’m not sure if any of you have seen this video yet, but if you were one of the millions of people around the globe who were watching every minute of Olympic coverage then you need to see this. This video montage done by Stephen Brunt just about sums up the feeling that we as Canadians were feeling during the Olympics. I don’t get shook up that easy, but this montage gives me the shivers.... read more
