I visited Calgary by accident, just had a 3 day layover but it turned out amazing. It was during canadas national day and stempede festival, so the whole city was really festive and the vibes were great! I didnt really had any expectations but im really glad I had a chance to have this experience.

Went camping in Canada with a camper van to explore the country better. Was a very fun experience. Got to see lots of different places and meet great people. Saw lots of small towns with charm. Not too crowded.

Calgary
This bridge overlooking the lake was a bit dodgy, lots of people living underneath and I had a couple of men catcall me, if you’re walking towards Calgrary zoo perhaps take public transport instead, or walk an alternative route.

Historically associated with higher crime rates, though it has many families, schools, and community programs. Most residents live there without incident. Has higher rates of drug use, homelessness, and some street crime, particularly after dark.

I live here and have never felt unsafe and I have gone to the gym alone late at night (11pm-2am) on many occasions with no problems but that is only my personal experience I can’t speak for everybody!

Overall it's a fairly servant town that has a little bit of teenage Hooligans who might drive a bit too fast a little bit of drug problems near the city hall area. Overall I think that Ajax is extremely safe I've never felt threatened or really had any major problems during the day. I think as you get closer to Oshawa there are more problems

About me
Heloooo Hi! My name is May, I’m 20 years old and currently studying Hospitality and Tourism Management. I grew up in Toronto but I’ve always been curious about the world and different ways of living, which is why I love traveling. I grew up helping in my family’s restaurant from a young age, which taught me a lot about hospitality, hard work, and connecting with people. Because of that, I’m very comfortable adapting to new environments and meeting people from different backgrounds. I’ve been lucky to travel to a few places already, including Egypt, Ireland, Malaysia, Japan, and China, and I recently spent time studying in Kosovo. Experiences like that made me realize how much I enjoy learning about cultures, food, and everyday life in different countries. I’m someone who is very positive, curious, and open to new experiences. I love animals, nature, good food, and meaningful conversations. I’m also really interested in sustainability, farms, and learning practical skills that connect people more to the land and where their food comes from.

About me
Hi girls! I’m Marin - I was raised in the Canadian Rockies & foothills and I now spend my summers working in Banff National Park and my winters traveling the world! I spent most of my childhood in Calgary but now in the off-season I live in Okotoks (20 mins south of Calgary). Usually, April-October you’ll find me in Banff, then November-March I’ll either be abroad or in Okotoks. My favourite part of traveling is meeting new friends around the world, so I’m thrilled to be on this app! If you’re visiting Calgary or Canmore/Banff, send me a message! I’d love to meet up :)) If I’m not busy I can also sometimes offer rides to the mountains, to the airport, or just around the city if you’re wanted to see more of the place! I have more hobbies than I can count, ranging from making stained glass and embroidery art, to partying and playing video games. I also love to hike and be in nature! To be honest I’m perfectly happy to do almost anything & it’s very difficult for me to be bored. I’d love to meet you and make some fun memories together!! Send me a message :D

Hey there! I'm Annie! I’m into travel, nature, self-development, and meeting people who are curious, kind, and doing life in their own way. I love a bit of adventure, but I’m also very happy with coffee, a walk, and a real conversation. I am a business and embodiment mentor who works online. So as long as I have a wifi signal, I have a fair amount of freedom.

About me
Salam (Peace)! Mariam here :) I love making new connections and I take any opportunity to say hi to strangers. I think as a Muslim gal I feel a sense of responsibility to break stereotypes and let the world know how fun and free we are, and I think that's where my extrovertness comes from hahaha. I love sewing and I might have too much fabric but honestly one can never have enough fabric (i didn't make the rule). In this life I've been blessed with an incredible mother and 3 crazy brothers who always have my back so I have been living life to the fullest and I am so grateful~ I live in one of the most beautiful places on earth and I can never get tired of witnessing stunning sunsets literally everyday!! I hope to make use this platform to make some international connections. Looking forward to meeting you strangers ^-^

About me
Just your regular Canadian Dirtbabe, feral introvert. I enjoy connecting through shared experiences, swimming, hikes, camping, good food, and live music! Nature is my medicine, also where I source a lot of food. I spend a lot of time searching out fresh Springs and hot Springs. I like to exit society for extended periods of time in the forest.
