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

Victoria, Couple travel
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've been to Canada for a whole year to work and travel. It was amazing! The people were so nice and helpful all the time and the nature is just amazing! I would recommend to buy a car though, so you can experience the country even better since public transfer is good but limited outside the cities 😬

Lake Louise, Solo travel
I visited Lake Louise in late March and it was absolutely stunning! I was lucky enough to get a sunny day where I could see the mountains, the lake was still frozen so I walked on the surface which was so cool to experience. Definitely worth a visit, just make sure you get a park pass in the information center!

Winnipeg
Winnipeg feels generally safe, but the areas to be conscious of are downtown during the night and the north end area (day and night). Also would avoid public transportation during the late evening and night.

Safety in Montreal varies a lot depending on neighborhood. Plateau Mont Royal, Villeray, Mile End, feel very safe compared to my references (London, Marseille, Reunion, Paris), but some neighborhoods can feel very rough. The city centre around Berri-Uqam for example, can make you feel very uneasy with drug use and homelessness, although I’ve never witnessed violence myself there, but I wouldn’t feel safe there if I visited for the first time.

it is mostly safe here, there is some creeps at night but most will leave you alone if you tell them to, the homeless will mostly leave you alone, if anything youll just get guys that percist giving you a ride.

Very safe throughout the day. Just take a little extra care during the night time around Downtown because of alot of drug addicts Most of them are located in Downtown so that’s the only area to be cautious .

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! When I am between the two, I stay with my family in my hometown of Calgary. I’m a very social person at heart but can sometimes take a minute to get out of my shell. My favourite part of traveling is meeting new friends around the world, so I’m thrilled to be on this app! I am usually able to host in Calgary and am almost always free to meet up and do activities in Calgary or Canmore/Banff! 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!! I am coming to Europe for the first time at the end of March! I’ll be there for 2-3 months with almost no plan aside from slowly making my way from west to east! If you’re around, send me a message :D
