I mean, sure, it’s not as population dense as the USA, or Mexico, but Canada is huge, your people are nice, you have some of the best entertainment companies on the planet (namely Cirque du Soleil and Pornhub), your natural resources and attractions are unbelievable and your actors are the best (especially the BSG/Chronicles of Riddick cast).
And yet, as an Italian with an international perspective (lived abroad for the last 16 years and visited the USA and South America repeatedly), I have been not “Canada-aware” for most of my life.
I get it that you are not boasting like your neighbors (and that alone makes you better than them imho), but how come that I was left to realize only today that the Manitoba flour I used to make pizza all my life takes its name from one of your provinces, while I know about all the shitty pizzas the US made up in a century.
Same thing goes for Latin American countries, even the ones I never visited, like Mexico or Argentina.
I shall visit soon and I hope you can take the chance to teach me more in the meanwhile.
You can do tourism wrong (as Italian cities do), and do it right, like Amsterdam started to do now. I was there in April last year and I was able to take pictures of the canals with no one in them but me effortlessly. They literally paid ads to tell British low cost flight tourists not to come visit.
It’s called self-care.
Yeah, Portugal also has a really big problem with tourism - we back here need a wakeup call fast.
Santorini is feeling the impacts of that over-tourism big time.
I’d agree, with my limited experience anyways. I’ve only left Canada once and it was a trip to Scotland, Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic.
All in one trip? That sounds like a fantastic holiday!
Sounds like hell to me, not being able to settle your mind in one city is something I abhor in tourism. Bringing that to country level is just criminal.
It was spread over 3 months. I agree anyways, it’s very stressful.
This was aging mother’s bucket list not really mine.
