A scenic East Coast adventure from Montreal to the Cabot Trail If there’s one Canadian road trip that completely surprised us, it was Nova Scotia. We expected pretty coastal views and good seafood… but what we got was so much more : foggy ferry crossings, colorful fishing towns, gluten-free fish & chips wins (huge moment 😄), thrilling Sea-Doo rides, and hiking at sunset with possible moose sightings. In August 2021, the four of us packed into an SUV and drove from Montreal t

In July 2018 , we traveled to Banff  as a reward for my husband’s job. What started as a work-related trip quickly turned into an unforgettable Banff National Park summer vacation , filled with iconic hotels, outdoor adventures, and a road trip into British Columbia . By extending our stay, we were able to experience some of the best hikes in the Canadian Rockies and Columbia Valley. If you’re planning a Banff summer itinerary  and wondering whether it’s worth combining Alber

Our Unexpected Return Journey We hadn’t planned on driving back and the idea was to drop off the RV in BC and fly home. But then we asked if there was another one-way rental back to Toronto . How could we say no? It was already late afternoon when we picked up the second RV, so we headed to Squamish  and spent the night at the busiest Walmart parking lot we’ve ever seen. By morning, the sound of lawnmowers and the mountain view outside made for quite a contrast. Pinantan Lake

Our 16-Day Road Trip Across Canada After a few years off, we were ready for another one-way RV adventure. This time: Toronto to Vancouver in 16 days. It was 2020, a spontaneous decision, no campground reservations, no detailed plan. It was just us, our RV, and the open road. We picked up a shiny new A30 RV and hit the Trans-Canada Highway. The goal was to drive west quickly, but as always, the journey itself became the best part. We called her BigMac Agawa Bay : Sunset and

After our first RV trip from Whistler to Banff in 2016, we were hooked. So when we saw another one-way special from Fraserway RV , this time from Toronto to Halifax , we didn’t hesitate. We love that these deals let you try RVing without the huge rental cost, you just bring your luggage and sense of adventure. We took the train to Toronto and picked up our 30-foot RV. It was brand new and a little intimidating at first! But my husband’s calm driving quickly made me feel safe.

Every year, we look at the one-way RV specials  offered by Fraserway RV , and every year, we’re tempted. These deals are such a great way to explore Canada as it's inexpensive, flexible, and ideal for people like us who love camping, nature, and the freedom of the open road. We don’t mind long drives. We actually enjoy them, especially when we don’t have to set up tents, carry camping gear, or worry about the weather. With an RV, everything is right there with you. You can st

Remember seeing kangaroos in Australia? Well… you don’t actually have to go that far. There’s a little pocket of Vernon, BC, where kangaroos hop around too! Kangaroo Creek Farm — Australia Meets British Columbia We drove from Kelowna to Kangaroo Creek Farm , located just outside Vernon, and it instantly felt like a cheerful mini-version of an Australian wildlife park and right in the heart of the Okanagan. The farm is open from March to September  (closed October–February),

When people picture dramatic landscapes, they often think of New Zealand. But did you know British Columbia offers equally wild trails, turquoise alpine lakes, and post-hike swims? On our last trip to Whistler and the Sea-to-Sky region, we set out on some of the area’s most iconic hikes — from all-day treks like Garibaldi Lake  to quirky favorites like the Whistler Train Wreck Trail . If you’re planning to hike near Vancouver or Whistler, here’s our experience, plus tips to m
