Things I Still Hope to Discover

I Want To...

Know Canada Better

I want to slowly explore every province and territory, learning its history, meeting its people, and discovering the places that don't always make the travel brochures.

Follow History

Museums.
Historic villages.
Old churches.
Abandoned places.
Stories that explain how we became who we are.

Walk Through Nature

Old forests.
Waterfalls.
Rock formations.
Prairies.
Salt marshes.
The Canadian Shield.
The places that remind me how old this country really is.

Experience Culture

Live theatre.
Local festivals.
Powwows.
Music.
Markets.
Christmas markets.
The places where communities gather.

Meet Wildlife

Whales.
Polar bears.
Puffins.
Dolphins.
The birds that stop long enough for me to notice them.

Travel Slowly

Road trips.
Train journeys.
Ferries.
Ocean cruises.
Stopping because something looks interesting instead of rushing to the next destination.

Above all, I want to stay curious.
Some dreams will take me across the country. Others may only take me across town. I've learned that the size of the adventure matters less than the willingness to notice it.
