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, 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

Stoney Creek

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

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 ^-^
