Sunday Canadian Travel Video – Whales and Icebergs in Newfoundland & Labrador
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...

Photo Du Jour – Time Lapse of a Halifax Sunset
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...

Canadian Money – How to Understand & Identify our Monopoly Bills
I’ve been stealthily hiding money from myself for a few weeks (which by the way is a passion of mine) and I have finally managed to scrounge up a fair collection of Canadian Bills to showcase here on my mega awesome Canadian Travel Blog. As a plaid wearing Canuck, I’m totally used to hearing all the jokes about Canadian Monopoly Money and how weird it looks beside “Benjamins”,...

Sunday Canadian Travel Video: The Northern Lights in the Northwest Territories
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...

Photo Du Jour – Brackley Beach, Prince Edward Island
I’m a bit behind on writing due to work and dealing with poor weather, which tends to stunt my motivation to be creative. This incredibly soggy weather that Halifax has been living through drove me north to Prince Edward Island last weekend. The sun decided to show me some love, which meant I could finally take a photo without being soaked. While dodging washed up jellyfish on the shores of...

Sunday Canadian Travel Video: A Saskatchewan Sunset
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...

What is a Canuck? The History behind the Canadian Nickname
Throughout my travels I’ve met people from all over the world. Many of whom proudly wore, or defiantly protested a nickname their countrys people have been given by another. While some of them can surely be seen as insults, many even approaching racism, when used tongue-in-cheek, you can’t help but smile. Calling a Canadian a Canuck is about 98% safe. I’m leaving 2% though in the off...

Travel Tip – Book Flights in Canada with Price Drop Protection
If you’re a frugal traveller such as myself, flights have and always will be one of the most expensive part of your travels. Unfortunately Canada has yet to produce any budget airlines like those in Europe & Australia. The most common travel tip I hear when it comes to flights is to “shop around”. However, by spending a few extra minutes on the internet you’ll soon find...

Canoeing and Island Camping in Kejimkujik National Park
Two and a half hours from Halifax, the metropolitan city centre of the entire Maritimes, lies a National park of outstanding beauty. Where lakes, islands, trees, rivers and streams converge and form the 404 square kilometer national park known as Kejimkujik National Park.

Need Inspiration to Travel In Canada? Check out the National Parks Project!
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...
