Canada

I had heard so many amazing stories about Canada from friends who lived in different parts of the country. Their experiences inspired me to see it for myself. After many years, and with the support and excitement of my partner, we decided to leave everything behind and take the leap.

We chose Banff National Park as our home for two summer seasons and Vancouver Island as our winter destination. Living in the heart of the Canadian Rockies sparked a deep love for hiking and scrambling. With countless trails and hiking options, it often felt like we had the mountains all to ourselves. Reaching the peaks and standing there brought a special magic that drew us deeper into these landscapes. We could spend decades exploring the possibilities.

Vancouver Island was equally incredible. While summer there must be beautiful, our winter stay was unforgettable. We were amazed by the lush rainforests and towering trees, which even outshone the Sequoias in the USA. Beautiful cliffs, countless little islands, and dense forests made this experience truly extraordinary.
