Canada is a vast country its hard to pin point the areas to explore whilst on exchange in this awesome country.
For me, I started with the known areas which surrounded Queens University on the East Coast of Canada.
Montreal
This is such a beautiful city!
So much culture, beautiful architecture (especially Old Montreal) and awesome food.
Climbing to the top of Mount Royal will give you a spectacular view of this breath taking city.
Ottawa
In a way can be compared to our Canberra. There is the parliament house, the canal, lots of museums and BEAVERTAILS (to eat – like a cross between a doughnut & a churro).
Ottawa is a lovely quant city & I definitely recommend visiting and having a look around.
Toronto
Dubbed the ‘mini’ New York of Canada there is a lot to see in this city. There is Rodgers centre if you’re looking to catch a game, the CN tower to view Toronto from a birds eye view & Yonge-Dundas square. There are also lots of shopping opportunities and great restaurants.
After my semester was over the opportunity to see the West Coast of Canada came along. I had always wanted to see the turquoise lakes that you see when your ‘Google Images’ Canada.
Vancouver
This is another great Canadian city. The amazing restaurants who all serve wonderful food, the suspension bridge & tree top walk & Stanley park are just a few things to do and see.
Whistler
In winter, this is a skiers paradise. In summer there is extreme BMX riding, a lovely quaint little village & some awesome night life. There are a lot of recreational activities such as canoeing, bungie jumping, zip lining & much much more.
Jasper & Banff
These are amazing national park areas!!!!! The wildlife you get to see is awesome, from bears to mouse, elk to mountain goats. Definitely a recommended trip for those who make the trip out to Canada. There are also an abundance of lakes around the area, Lake Medicine, Lake Bow & the most famous Lake Louise & its Fairmont Chateau.
There are sooooo many more opportunities to travel through Canada, as it is such a big country. During the winter you can travel further north & see the Great Northern Lights, see polar bears & experience a true northern winter.
Canada is definitely one of the most beautiful countries I have been able to experience.
