5 MUST DO'S BEFORE LEAVING CANADA


  1. Registration of Canadians Abroad: The Government website

  1. Check Travel Advice and Advisory: Read necessary Visas needed (on Arrival or Ahead of time) and vaccinations

  1. Locate Embassies and Consulates: I normally do this for Foreign countries that English is not the main language. You can never be too prepared. 

  1. Make an Itinerary: Plan a very detailed itinerary (Send to Family and Friends). This includes Hotel, Flight times, any planned Excursions, Embassy and Consulate locations and contacts. 

  1. Inform Credit Companies: Notify credit card companies of your travels outside the Country. Most credit cards companies now do not require this action to be done as they have systems to prevent flagging when travelling. However, I rather be on the safe side.

The Grotto: Bruce Peninsula National Park

As seen in the above photograph you probably thought I was somewhere in the Caribbean. Nope! This would be the beautiful Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. Yes! Canada. I could not believe how crystal clear the water was, it made you want to just jump in. The Peninsula genuinely took me away. I forgot where I was but then remembered oh so quickly that yes I was in Canada. The water was freezing cold! It probably took about 8 minutes if not more for my body to adjust to bear the cold so that I could stay in the water longer. Currently, the park entrance is free to celebrate Canada 150. Which means you have to arrive early if wanting to visit the Grotto. Time slots are given for parking access inside the Grotto area know as Cyprus Lake and are given to first come first serve visitors. These parking passes last for 4 hours (be sure not to spend longer to avoid ticketing).  I arrived at the park exactly at 10 am and ended up getting a 5pm - 9pm parking pass to vi...

MY TWO DAY BACKPACKING TRIP TO NICARAGUA

In the spur of the moment while visiting Liberia, Costa Rica, my travel partner and I figured we should visit Nicaragua while being in Central America. Having no clue where to go and what to do, we knew we wanted to test the waters considering the distance between the two countries. As this would be my first time backpacking, we started to ask around from the moment we got to the resort the possibility of us backpacking to Nicaragua and how safe it would be. A bit skeptical on the answers we received, we decided to backpack to Nicaragua either way. Keep in mind, there is a tour that will take you into Nicaragua from Costa Rica and back. You have the option to spend the night or just purchase the Day tour. This tour will cost you around  $160 USD or more and that was way out of our budget. We both went with $100 CAD and we were able to sustain for the 2 days we were there including our transportation. Our Journey started on a Sunday morning. We caught our first ride to th...
