Canada

Join MLMT in having the happiest few days of your life, in Canada.

Canada is a smile that never stops getting wider. It is a maple leaf looking out for you wherever you go. It is the sharp cut of the cold forcing you awake. But it is also the warm blanket put around you against a fireplace. It is adrenaline rush till the air gets rarer. It is a leap into the deepest oceans. It forces you out of your comfort zone. But it makes sure you are home. It is pubs filled with the greasiest grub and the best-drunk stories. It is everyone together singing at the worst of their voices, happy.

Canada will give you more experiences in one mile than any other country. Their love for hockey and adventure activities overtakes their passion for anything else. You will never have a calm moment here. Canada pushes you from one wave to another. You never want to leave.

Top Experiences

Bay of Fundy

This place is home to some of the most significant tides ever seen. It can go up to about 53-foot swing. This has caused the extreme tidal erosion that has shaped the weird looking coast. These pillared formations are Canada’s Takeshi’s castle. The Hopewell rocks really are something else.

Largest Jazz Festivals

Jazz is the pure expression of the new age. It is new, fresh and energetic every bit of its way. The dying art form has been giving a big leg up by festivals in Montreal. There are thousands of people coming together and designing music together.

A-list

The Toronto International Film Festival has a tradition of exhibiting and showcasing movies that later go onto becoming Oscar Nominees. This happens every September and has more than 500,000 people visiting. You can get to see these movies alongside some of the most prominent artists ever.

Cold War Museum

The worst of the cold war in the 60’s led to Canada building this underground bunker to house government officials and such in case of a nuclear breakout. There are three hundred rooms here which were never used but now are part of this museum.

Polar Season

Now those adorable but aloof Polar bears can be your friends. The months of October and November are the season to be in Churchill. Being able to view these polar bears against the tundra backdrop full of life is the view you want to capture with your eyes.

 

Travel Smart:

• Huge

The distances are seriously significant. It will take you to go from one place to the other more time than it will take you to reach Tartarus. Do not think you will be able to see all of Canada in one go. Try to enjoy your way through as much you can. Be in the present.

• Layers

Be prepared for all the weathers. It seems very obvious but here goes. Carry as many layers you possibly can. It can get really, really cold here. There can also be thunderstorms. Be informed and do not venture out anywhere without knowing the weather conditions.

• Couchsurfing

Accommodation here is not cheap. It can really drain you. Never heard of Couchsurfing? It is the site that allows you to check which of the locals are renting rooms or open for home stays. There are also people ready to give their couches for free. This is a miracle and has saved a lot of money for a lot of people.

• Travel Insurance

This is a prerequisite for all countries, but even more here. If you do break any bones or get into something, the costs of getting it treated are very high. So, you should have this just in case.
