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.

Calgary, Couple travel
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.

Edmonton
I’ve lived in Edmonton for over 10 years. I love Edmonton and no city is perfect but I’ve never truly felt unsafe. I think become a security guard may have helped with that but I’ve had no issues living here.

This bridge overlooking the lake was a bit dodgy, lots of people living underneath and I had a couple of men catcall me, if you’re walking towards Calgrary zoo perhaps take public transport instead, or walk an alternative route.

Historically associated with higher crime rates, though it has many families, schools, and community programs. Most residents live there without incident. Has higher rates of drug use, homelessness, and some street crime, particularly after dark.

I live here and have never felt unsafe and I have gone to the gym alone late at night (11pm-2am) on many occasions with no problems but that is only my personal experience I can’t speak for everybody!

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.
