The name Little Me in Big Canada came from looking at pictures of my travels and realising just how small I looked against those vast landscapes. This is where I share the stories. From coast to coast.
By this time in my life in Canada, I had been in Vancouver for about a year, just long enough to become fully aware of how tough a place this city is to make friends. Of course I knew some people, but not enough to actually celebrate my birthday together. Because I was planning to…
It took something like 16 hours by bus to get from Saskatoon to Winnipeg. Back in Summer 2018, Greyhound buses were still running in the region, and they were the easiest way for my dad and me to make that leg of the trip while touring the country in a month. It was also almost…
It’s safe to say I had no expectations when I arrived in Moncton that summer of 2023, during my Atlantic-Coast-Digital-Nomad Summer. I had to give New Brunswick a go, and Moncton was the right hub between Halifax and PEI. It was also the right opportunity to finally visit the famous Hopewell Rocks nearby, a must-visit…
Canada rewards me with beauty because I make the effort to seek her out. That is what I am stubbornly convinced of. And this is what fuels my constant pursuit of wonder across the country. In September 2022, and freshly out of all the pandemic restrictions, I planned to visit Halifax over the Labour Day…
It’s an unfortunate thing to be dissociating while visiting the Rockies, such a beautiful place to be in, such a tragic coping mechanism to have. Travelling with friends or people in general tends to push me into a mode where I shut down, and that’s exactly what happened when I went for a week of…
The first time I tried to visit Prince Edward Island, it was cancelled last minute due to the damage left after Hurricane Fiona in autumn 2022. Almost a year later, I found myself in the front row of a bus from Moncton, crossing the Confederation Bridge and finally setting foot in Charlottetown, the Birthplace of…
My time in Saskatoon didn’t start the way I had planned it. In 2018, when I travelled across the country with my dad, the plan was to bus our way from Banff to the northern Saskatchewan city with Greyhound. The Alberta/Saskatchewan connection was run by a subcontractor, which had also ceased operations between the time…
When I lived in Vancouver circa 2021/2022, I went back to Vancouver Island with friends to show them this little gem of British Columbia: the Pacific Rim Trail and the famous village of Tofino. We camped in Ucluelet as accommodations in this area tend to be limited and way out of our budget, and drove…
I fell hard in love with Prince Edward County. Even before heading there, the more I found out about the place while preparing my trip, the more excited I got. Still on cloud nine from my road trip in Québec that same summer, I decided to take advantage of the low car rental prices from…
