  • Sunday Canadian Travel Video – Full Mountie – Lonely Planet in Saskatchewan

    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…

  • Photo Du Jour – Sunsets, Power Lines, and Saskatchewan Silhouettes

    After being surrounded by the the tall (but increadibly awesome) trees of Ontario for a while, coming to Saskatchewan was a breathe of wide open air. I borrowed some family wheels and hit the road running. Touring this province is no easy task. Hours upon hours between stops, long and exhausting highways, and if you’re not…

  • Westbound to Ontario and Saskatchewan

    This weekend I won’t be featuring a Photo Du Jour nor a Travel Video. Breathe…I know. It sucks! But please, hold back those tears. I have a good reason. On Wednesday I fly out of Halifax for the next leg of my Canadian travels, and I’ve got some serious packing and preparation to do. I’ll…

  • Photo Du Jour – Hometown Sunset, Regina SK

    It’s been several months since I’ve been back home. This wet summer the maritimes has been having is making me crave the scorching hot dry summers of Saskatchewan. Which inspired me to share this image of my hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan. It was taken during sunset at Wascana Lake. I’m a big fan of silhouettes…

  • 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…

  • My 7 Links – La creme de la creme of I Backpack Canada!

    I’m doing a serious fist pump right now! I’ve been nominated by The Traveling Editor to partake in the very cool, very interesting, “7 links Project”. This little project was started by the folks at Trip Base, and its spread like wildfire throughout the travel blogging community. Google “My 7 Links” and you’ll know exactly…

  • My Guide to Food in Saskatchewan

    The mighty province of Saskatchewan, famously known for its boxy shape, flat lands, and its notorious habit for being spelt wrong by nearly everyone (including myself), is surprisingly full of a wide variety of food. While some of it is unique to Saskatchewan, much of the food has been accumulated and passed on from different cultures who’ve…

  • I Backpack Canada nominated for Saskatchewan Tourism Award of Excellence

    It appears karma is making me feel extra guilty for slowing my writing down. I Backpack Canada is one of the finalists for a Saskatchewan Tourism Award of Excellence. It looks like they filed me under Travel Media Award. Apparently all of those blog posts about my home province of Saskatchewan have caught the eye…

  • Ice Fishing Saskatchewans Last Mountain Lake

    My old man and I had been planning on getting some fishing in while I was home in Saskatchewan; however, the weather wasn’t behaving. Winds were gusting like crazy and causing the windchill to drop below -40 degrees celcius. Fortunate for me, the weather let up eventually, which gave us the opportunity to hurry out…
