Went for a Christmas vacation with family and it was delightful. The Victorian architecture was beautiful and the highlight of the trip was definitely the Butchart Gardens. It was decorated with lights for the holidays and it was a great time despite heavy rainfall that day

I cannot say this is an exciting city. Even though it’s the biggest city in Canada, it feels like a small city with not so much sights to see. Things are expensive, so be prepared to spend a lot. The diversity and authenticity in different foods are great. People here seem unhappy. Safety-wise, it’s okay. I wouldn’t walk around alone late at night.

Vancouver is a great city to eat authentic Chinese food. It may be even more Chinese food than what they have in Hong Kong. The city has a good public transportation system that can access to more nature sites. Only thing is, some streets around Chinatown is very sketchy.

I think Montreal is a pretty safe city, i have lived my whole life in montreal; the metro system is used by a big part of the population, especially students and people working downtown, so it is always busy and there are security and police walking around often. Going out as a teenager girl very rarely felt unsafe and tho in the last couple of years the number of homeless people has gone up, incident are generally not aimed towards the travelers on the metro.

Overall it's safe and very student friendly. You find multicultural food restaurants. There are few places like Wyandotte street where you see alot of homeless people on drugs. Just be careful in that area. The rest all is safe.

Barrie has certain areas with unhoused people/beggars, no different than any other city. Otherwise, it's pretty safe. I'm located in the South end of Barrie, in a very family-oriented neighborhood, which is very safe.

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
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 (especially steak), 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
I enjoy both relaxing beach trips and discovering places rich in history. Museums, churches, impressive architecture, beautiful views, and great food are must-haves for me. When I travel, I really like to experience a place—discovering the local culture and taking the time to observe and understand. I’m here to share meaningful travel experiences, with respect and good vibes!
