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

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!

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 .

Langley is safe for all visitors and offers lots of open spaces with easy access to transportation, local dining, parks and shops. There's some development in a few areas so be aware of construction sites when navigating from place to place.

It’s all pretty much fine, as long as you’re staying aware of your surroundings. That said, Queen and Parliament is a bit sketchy all times of day, along with most of Parkdale at night. Head down, eyes up, no earbuds, phone in your bag. It’s

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.
