Cool Canada

If you are looking for a unique and incredible travel experience then Canada is the place to go, Victoria British Columbia is called the garden city of Canada; it has a refreshing ocean climate and is the reason why flowers grow there all year long. The natural beauty it possesses attracts several million tourists from all over the globe year in and year out, it has so many wonderful features to share with the world however many people are simply unaware of where it is because of its location on the south tip of Vancouver Island (the main picture is of a place in Victoria BC) this is a shame as they are really missing out on a lovely city. I felt privileged to be able to witness it's natural beauty for myself, out of all the places in Canada (and it is a very big place, in fact it is the world's second largest country - only second to Russia) my favorite would have to be Quebec it is most famously known for having one of the best mountains in Canada for winter activities such as skiing and snowboarding (that was the main reason i came to Canada for the snowboarding). The mountain i am talking of is called Mt. Tremblant and is a busy metropolis due to it being a very popular tourist spot plus is open 365 days a year with activities for both summer and winter months, it is easily accessible due to being in a central location to most of Canada, plus the fact of the Trudeau International Airport is only a hour or two away.

The busiest time of the year is of course during the winter months and this is because of the World Class skiing and snowboarding experience you can enjoy here, there are almost 100 runs at Tremblant with plenty of lifts for easy access. You will also be able to enjoy acres upon acres of the most awesome rails, ramps, halfpipes and a superpipe, so it is a real adventure packed place (had to mention the extra add ons for the runs here). It was a real surprise for me to find this gem as i was not expecting it to have so many extra features, i could quite happily have stayed there for at least a year just playing on the pipes, ramps and rails without even hitting any of the full runs. There are plenty of other activities that you can enjoy while in Tremblant during the winter which include cross country skiing, tubing, snowshoeing, skating, ice climbing, dog sledding, curling, horseback riding, helicopter tours, snowmobiling, sleigh rides, paintball and many other fun and adventurous activities. It is a highly family orientated kind of resort which was nice as there was not only serious adventure seekers but a mix of different levels of skills from beginner to expert which allowed for a comfortable atmosphere plus some real funny moments to watch with the beginner's falling over and crashing while going through there learning curve. It also had instructors that you could hire if it was your first time and of course for the children, i learnt so many more things here about boarding tricks and tips from watching and chatting to the other's on the stunt part of the runs (i was is snowboarding heaven).

All the Canadians i met were very friendly and extremely open minded which was refreshing, there all so laid back i guess this is due to the size of there country as they have plenty of room to maneuver and therefore are not living on top of one another. The population of Canada is around 30 million, and this 30 million or so people live within a 10 million square kilometers of which around 800,000 square kilometers is water, Niagara Falls being part of that which is a absolutely spectacular sight to see and behold (so it has a huge land mass) full of tree's, mountains, city's, and lakes. Canada is surrounded by 3 oceans, the Arctic, the Atlantic, and the Pacific, the capital is Ottawa and the climate varies across the country; from extreme cold -32 Celsius up to a average of 26 Celsius it all depends on what time of year it is and in which part of this huge and wonderfully beautiful country you are in. I would say if you spent a whole year in Canada you would of only explored 20% of it at the most. I adored Canada and would most definitely return here one day if given the time and chance, therefore i could not say a single bad thing about it neither recommended it highly enough for anyone to go and explore for them selves.
