Our Gear:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

I visited nova Scotia to pick up a pup. One dog turned into 2 dogs and a farm. i now reside in Nova Scotia the best move I made

To put into perspective how big Canada is, keep in mind that St. John's (east coast) is closer to Dublin, Ireland than it is to Vancouver (west coast)

I was at the Vancouver international airport and, as I was leaving, another canuck was entering. I said, "after you." She said, "no-no, after you." "Sorry, please no, after you, " I replied. "Thank you so much, " she said.
At this point an American tourist who'd been watching this burst into riotous laughter exclaiming that that was the most Canadian thing he'd ever seen. This happens all the time here... I think about his reaction every time it does now.

I feel like 90% of people watching this are Canadian

The hockey love is not exaggerated. The 4 seasons in Canada are pre-season, regular season, post-season, and off season.

"there's a TIm Horton's across the street" No, dude, there are 10 Tim Horton's across the street

I'll never forget this moment in the Québec province... I was just walking through a mall and saw a teenager open the door to leave. Despite the fact that I was far away from her, she saw me, and held the door the whole time I was walking towards it! It was weird as I'm used to people just leaving and not noticing people behind them. It made me so happy to choose Canada as a place to vacation in. :-)

Hello to fellow Canadians watching this. I hope you're doing well and having a great day or night!

Take it from a Canadian, if you come here and end up visiting a Canadian's house, TAKE OFF YOUR GODDAMN SHOES! In Canada, it's super disrespectful to wear your shoes in someone's house.

Another “shocking” thing about Canada:

Every city is COMPLETELY different, with different overall culture, pastimes, personality etc... (apart from the love of hockey and having a Tim Hortons in plain view to your left AND to your right).

Every city is like visiting a different country. The landscape is completely different, the food is different and personality of the city is different.

We can’t answer “what’s it like in Canada?”

I was in Miami on the beach, a couple of beach bros asked me if we lived in Igloos ? I answered yes of course we do and we inject maple sirop in to our veins like heroin .

[christophercoombs]

further to your point about how everything ties into hockey, Tim Horton was a Hockey player

[Olemrac]

I drove across Canada from southern Ontario to Vancouver Island. It took me 3 days just to get out of Ontario my god

[alessandrogiacomelli]

Lived in Canada one year and I’m in love with this country oh my gosh. One thing that shocked me is people not judging you. I come from Italy and in many European countries people tend to be unfriendly.... love Canada

[beccasmama]

Thank you from a Canadian for telling everyone about our beautiful country. :D <3

"which beer is the best? ask a local!" shows child

We Canadians are super nice because we gave our mean side to the wild geese!
