Banff, Solo travel
One of the most beautiful places I've been to. In winter, Sunshine ski resort is the best place to be and in summer there's so manu beautiful hikes near by. The town is lively and people are sweet. There's so many activities to do and the nightlife is awesome (especially Sundays)

Volunteered here for four months and fell in love with that place. So many nature related activities and the town has an awesome community! I was there during the winter, wich meant a lot of rain but I got used to it. Haven’t been in summer but friends say it is incredible

Loved Montreal food is nice. People are nice friendly, downtown is amazing and old montreal at night is beautiful feels like Europe. Lazer show at night is beautiful. Cafes have asthetic vibes it was expensive but worth it.

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.

My trip to Toronto in June 2025 was one of my favorite travel experiences. I traveled with a friend, explored different neighborhoods, tried new restaurants, visited famous landmarks, and experienced the city’s multicultural atmosphere. The trip gave me a deeper appreciation for travel, local culture, and making lasting memories through new experiences.

Vancouver is great for anyone, from casual walks along the beach to live music. I recently went to a concert and had so much fun. The transit is great, and friendly people. Although it’s expensive, I recommend Granville island

Highly recommend, but it can be pricey (although worth it). Staying in the downtown area was amazing, although a bit busy. There’s lots of to do and it’s beautiful walking down by the waterfront. I didn’t have any safety concerns

Winkler
I feel completely safe living in Winkler. The crime rate is very low, and I have personally never run into any safety issues or concerning situations. On top of that, the people in the community are always very friendly, welcoming, and willing to help out.

Winnipeg is relatively safe, just ensure you keep your wits about you and avoid the North end. Please note there is a high homeless population and heavy drug use downtown. I would not recommend walking down Main Street alone.

Very safe overall, it’s just that one park I wouldn’t go there, if you have to walk by just walk on the other side of the road and you’ll honestly be fine. I used to go by a lot because there used to be a cat cafe on the other corner and there’s just weird people

Gatineau
Gatineau is a small city next to the Capital and it is generally very safe. Most of the reported cases of crime are family/spouse related abuse or high speed accidents. There is no gun violence to speak of and local transportation is decent.

If you're a woman, it's better to be in company. There are a lot of guys who start awkward conversations or knock on the windows you're sitting at. On the subway, I saw people openly smoking and drinking alcohol. I also passed a naked man. End another man shouted at me aggressively when I refused to give him my phone. It's a beautiful city, but

Really safe. It’s a student city because of the university campus. Lots of young people and not much crime. There’s so much beautiful things to see and fairly accessible for women. No real issues about safety in my opinion

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
