Greater Toronto, Group travel
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

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 😬

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 !!

Waterloo is considered safe city, the only thing I would suggest is that stay away from forested trails from dusk to dawn, and walk away or get away from a person if they are intoxicated day and night.

St.Dam is incredibly peaceful, the most danger you get is the occasional person with an addiction and maybe some trespassing. (There are a lot of abandoned buildings) I'm very comfortable here, to the point I can go on a night walk alone and feel pretty okay.

Downtown Vancouver is usually very safe and has very limited crime. Any scarier/less safe areas are confined pretty much entirely to East Hastings Street. In daytime it’s not AS bad, but do not ever go there at night.

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 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.
