Canada Specialist

My passion for travel ignited during my university years, where I delved into American and Canadian literature, history, and culture.

After completing my studies, I set off on an adventure through India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Borneo, eventually making my way to Australia for a year. Upon my return, I joined Audley's Canada team, where I've been ever since. My first extensive Audley journey took me across Canada from west to east, immersing myself in the wildlife, rugged landscapes, and vibrant cities.

Since then, I've continued to explore, venturing off the beaten path into Québec Province and the Kootenay Rockies. My most recent trip was a road trip in Alaska and The Yukon, which truly felt like the final frontier. I was fortunate enough to see a lot of wildlife, too. My bucket-list travel experience in Canada was witnessing the polar bear migration in Churchill.

Quebec City

I recommend visiting - Québec City, Canada

Québec City is a real surprise. With a mix of French, British and Canadian influences in its architecture, history and culture it has so much to offer. Take time to meander through the cobbled streets, stop for a coffee or look out for the 'French' locations from Catch Me If You Can. One of the things I loved most is that all the buildings are protected and restored as they were in the 17th century. It's a little maze of streets; the best one I found was Rue du Trésor, an open-air gallery that translates as Treasure Street.

Abigail's Hotel, Victoria

I recommend staying at - Abigail's Hotel, Canada

Medium

Located just minutes from Victoria's quaint downtown area, this quiet boutique property has a small-town charm and homely atmosphere, which is echoed throughout this city on the south of Vancouver Island. It has gorgeous Tudoresque four-poster beds and wood-burning fireplaces, which make it very romantic. I loved the Ruby Room, which felt like being in an old English manor house only with the added touch of a Jacuzzi bath.

I'll never forget when…

I was lucky enough to take a seaplane from Vancouver to dine at Bowen Island, a nearby island that has all the rugged mountains, forests and seascapes that British Columbia is known for. It was such a scenic journey, flying over the entire city on a clear-blue afternoon before making our way across the water and wilderness to land in tiny Snug Cove on Bowen Island. We had a great pub meal with pristine forest on one side and the sun setting over the ocean on the other.
