People ask me, "so where are you from?" I never seem to know how to answer that question. The easier question for me to answer, normally posed by anyone who knows me, is "so where are you now?" The current answer is Calgary. Since I seem to have been fortunate enough to have lived in and traveled to some truly amazing parts of Canada, I decided to start this blog to begin to collect those bits of important information about a place that are normally overlooked in the tourism board marketing brochure.
I have often wondered what it must be like traveling to Canada from another country and trying to figure out were to stay, eat or spend your time. There are some reasonably good online sources of information for some places, but more often than not the search engine rankings are dominated by the big hotel chains, discount travel service providers, and unbearably dull municipal tourism sites.
My hope is that this blog will evolve to become a comprehensive guide to the best things to experience in Canada. No village is too small, no local attraction too insignificant not to be worth mentioning if you think it is worth a visit. I invite locals to share their knowledge of place, and visitors to express their recommendations, opinions and observations.
Now just where to put the first pin in the map...
