After spending a full year outside Canada, it feels so good to be back. Traveling is amazing, but coming back and feeling that sense of belonging is also pretty necessary. I couldn’t travel indefinitely and avoid Canada forever, I miss it too much. If you’ve ever traveled the world for an extended period of time and just came back home, you might very well relate to this. There are so many things I missed about Canada! 1) Flushing toilet paper in the toilet Half the world (and maybe even more) doesn’t flush toilet paper down the toilet. Instead, you have to …
7 Things I Really Missed About Canada
Stay fit on the road: Run for a cause
This post is part of the Stay Fit on the Road series. There’s nothing harder than trying to stay in shape while traveling around the world. Who wants to care about that extra plate of pasta you want to eat in Italy or that tacos in Mexico? You just want to taste what’s around you and even if you might walk a lot, it’s not always enough. Especially for digital nomads like Chris and I. Even though we live in exotic locations, the majority of our time is spent in front of the computer, trying to make a living. That’s …
Coming back home: Québec
The ten days we spent on Chris’ farm in Regina went by very fast. Too soon, we were hoping on a plane again, this time to my house in Québec. If you’ve never been there, it’s definitely a place to visit. I love this city so much, mostly because of how pretty it is. Between the walls of the Old City, history was made and that’s what I love about this place. Everything around you has been there for centuries already (well, almost everything). Unfortunately, since we were there at the beginning of the spring, there wasn’t any leaves in …
Coming back home: Regina
After three months in Costa Rica and another three in Mexico, it was time to stop home and visit our families. Chris and I also had some things to catch up on after half a year of traveling. That’s why our first stop in Canada was Regina, Saskatchewan. Let me tell you something about Saskatchewan: nobody knows either how to spell it or where it is. When someone asks us where we’re from in Canada, this is usually how it goes: Chris: I’m from Saskatchewan. Stranger: Cool. Virginie: And I’m from Québec. Stranger: OH! Québec, I love Québec, it’s such …
Ipads everywhere!
So we’re in Toronto right now, with some time to kill. We can’t get any wifi in the E terminal because of the invasion of the Ipads (there’s at least 500 of them everywhere) We can’t really do anything on them, so time to use our laptops! I was a bit tired, but taking a nap on those chairs is REALLY HARD. Chris seems to be fine, the only thing he wants before we leave is A&W. Probably not gonna happen, haven’t seen one in our terminal! Maybe in 3 months then?… 🙂
