Canada: the True North Strong and Free

Of course,  I am a little biased when it comes to the beautiful country of Canada! I was born there, in a city 3 hours east of Calgary.  Medicine Hat, Alberta was the place, but B.C. is home. I spent most of my growing up years in metro Vancouver. I consider it my hometown, and miss it greatly

If you don't know it already, Canada has been named 2017 "Country of the Year"by Lonely Planet.  I was so thrilled Canada received this vote, it has so many amazing destinations to visit.

In this post , I am sharing my travel photography from western Canada: Vancouver BC, Whistler, and Banff. These breathtaking sights are some of the best in the world!
