Experience

I came on a road trip during the winter of 2019 and immediately fell in love with Quebec. I moved here three months later. Since then, my love for la Belle Province and Canada has only grown.
Passionate about the outdoors, whether it's summer or winter, I have a hard time staying still at home no matter the weather! If I'm not at the office, you'll find me in the middle of a lake kayaking, taking photos at the top of a mountain, or in the forest on a beautiful snowshoeing day!

My Picks and Travel Tips

What is my favorite destination in Canada?

The Canadian Rockies in Alberta are a true favourite of mine. Between the impressive mountains, the abundant wildlife, the turquoise lakes and that feeling of endless open space, I never get tired of it. It’s a region that both soothes and fascinates me, and one I always want to return to.

A tip for your trip here

Don’t plan everything down to the hour. Give yourself some time to follow your instincts. Sometimes, a simple unplanned stop along the way can make you discover beautiful landscapes you wouldn’t have noticed if you were rushing. After all, you’re on vacation!

What is my favorite season in Canada?

All our seasons here are very distinct, but if I had to choose I would say winter! I am always amazed by the season's first snowflakes. Watching our cities and landscapes transform under a thick white blanket is something magical. And then, hearing the sound of snow crunching under our feet is relaxing, don’t you think?

What souvenir to bring back from your trip here?

An illustration or an item from a local creator. Canada is full of artists and local makers who showcase our beautiful country through their art. Whether it’s posters, postcards, candles, or accessories, you'll take a little piece of home with you!

Don't forget to pack in your luggage:

A pair of binoculars! The Canadian wildlife is just waiting to be observed (while keeping your distance).

What is my dream trip?

I really love country music, line dancing, and anything related to western culture. So visiting Montana and Wyoming in the United States is exactly the kind of trip I dream about: experiencing the cowboy lifestyle on working ranches and exploring Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, which have been on my bucket list for years. (Is it obvious I may have watched a bit too much of the Yellowstone series? Oops!)
