In March 2015, Dr. Randal Olson , A Computer Science & Engineering Ph.D. at Michigan State University organized what he called “the absolute US road trip”, thanks to a fancy formula he came up with. HuffPo Canada felt shafted, and asked if he could use said formula the true North. Being a man of science he obliged, and came up with this. A 16,226 km road trip across Canada that would take approximately 32 days to complete, assuming you stick to 6 hours of driving each day. Photo by Dr. Randal OlsonAs you can imagine, if you plan on stopping to tour certain areas, expect that time to increase. While Nunavut may not have been included (lack of road access to that part of Canada) I think this road trip hits just about everything you could possibly ask for in a tour of Canada. Great work Randy!

Road Trip Stops Include:

British Columbia

Alberta

Saskatchewan

Manitoba

Yukon

Northwest Territories

Ontario

Quebec

New Brunswick

Nova Scotia

P.E.I.

150 Things To Do In Canada

I'm pleased to announce my first ebook is available on Amazon Kindle. In honour of Canada's 150th Anniversary, I wanted to highlight my favourite things to do in each province and territory across Canada.

This ebook is super affordable as this is my first attempt at an ebook, and I'm hoping it will encourage people to flip through it before their summer travels across Canada. Please leave a positive review if you find it useful! I'm pulling late nights at the moment working on another ebook which is set to release before summer. Stay tuned!
