It was really cool, super and I mean SUPER nice people, everyone was helpful with question etc.. I loved the chill atmosphere even though it’s the city and there is always smt to do and definitely some good food to find

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, Solo travel
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

I would say Stoney creek is safe. Crime is low. I will walk around alone after dark if I have to but as a basic safety measure I tend to walk in groups at night. During the day I’ve never felt unsafe alone.

There are a lot of homeless people , most of them are harmless, but some are aggressive and unpredictable , you shouldn’t be alone during night time for sure. The subway is pretty messy as well , please make sure you are using uber during night time

It’s pretty safe just stay in the main areas like downtown and on broadway during the nights if you want to go out! There is homeless people downtown but if you ignore them and just keep on walking they will leave you alone

Almost traveler, cozy port city, love sports, so this city is safe and lovely. Also pub culture is so strong, people love local live music and beer until midnight but never crime. I love my city so much !!

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
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 ^-^

Hi fellow travellers! I’m an easygoing introvert living in one of the most beautiful cities in the country. I love to travel, laugh, eat good food, and learn about people from all over the world. I work from home as a freelance administrator and clothing tailor, and have many hobbies: sewing, cooking, gardening, watching movies (I love horror and world cinema), playing video games, dancing, crafting, hula hooping, reading/writing, DIY… the full ADHD experience. I live with my husband of 15 years and our little pug in a housing co-operative. I am currently learning Romanian with plans to visit in May 2027.

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.

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 friends 🙂 I'm a young teacher travelling around during the summers ✈️ I'm teaching French as a second language in Northern Canada. My students are indigenous from the Inuit nation ❄️ I'm a big enthousiast for solo-travelling, backpacking and adventures. Sometimes it's also very great to be able to connect more than the small talks in hostels 🤪 I can be quite introverted but I also very enjoy connecting and bonding with people. After all, it's all about balance !
