Canadian Rockies Travel Guide | Canada's Most Beautiful Place To Visit
Join us for this Canadian Rockies travel guide as we explore one of Canada's most beautiful places to visit. The big reason we took a road trip from Ontario to Alberta and British Columbia was to see the Rocky Mountains. For Audrey's parents, especially her Dad, it has been a dream to see this beautiful part of Canada for decades. With a chance to finally do it we were all thrilled to visit the Canadian Rockies together as a family with Togo the German Shepherd. The following is everywhere we visited in and around the Canadian Rockies including most of our time spent in Banff National Park and Kootenay National Park in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia:
1) Getting our park passes at Banff National Park for the whole family
2) Exploring the town of Banff including hiking the Bow River Trail and the Banff Springs Hotel
3) Visiting the nearby town of Canmore to walk along Policeman’s Creek Boardwalk Trail
4) Visiting Cascade Ponds where Audrey's sister got married
5) Exploring Lake Minnewanka where you can hike, kayak or canoe
6) Driving through Kootenay Provincial Park
7) Hiking to visit the Paint Pots to visit the pools
8) Visiting the incredibly beautiful Lake Moraine
9) Visiting world famous Lake Louise
10) Hiking the Old Coach Trail in between Radium Hot Springs and Dry Gulch
11) Relaxing at Windermere Lake
12) Checking out the famous Continental Divide
13) Visiting Kananaskis Country to visit Upper Kananaskis Lake and Lower Kananaskis Lake

Canadian Rockies Travel Guide | Canada's Most Beautiful Place To Visit Video Transcript:
Welcome to the Canadian Rockies! In the last video we showed you the 4-and-a-half day car journey from Ontario, but now it’s time to jump into the sightseeing.
We had 1 full week in the Rockies, splitting our time between both Alberta and British Columbia, and all of our days were spent hiking in woods, visiting the lakes, and just enjoying being surrounded by nature.
This was a family road trip with our trusty family dog Togo in tow, so we’re going to be sharing with you our adventure in what may well be the most beautiful part of Canada!
The Bow River trail is just a few steps from downtown Banff and it follows the riverside.
From there, we walked over to the Banff Springs Hotel. This historic hotel opened up in 1888 it’s one of Canada's grand railway hotels built by the Canadian Pacific Railway. We continued over to Canmore.
From there, we drove over to Lake Minnewanka, which has more of a bluer hue in comparison to the other turquoise and emerald lakes in the Rockies. Lake Minnewanka is a glacial lake 21 kilometres in length, making it the 2nd longest lake in the Rockies. It’s a hub for water activity like boat cruises, kayaking, canoeing, and well, it’s beautiful.
Later that day we drove to Moraine Lake, which is another glacially fed lake. It has a brilliant blue-green colour due to light refracting off the rock sediments, and like most destinations in the Rockies, this one was another stunner.
The views from the shore of Lake Louise were nothing short of stunning, we had Victoria Glacier perfectly framed by mountains on either side, and then the brilliant glacial waters with dotted with red canoes.
Our final destination in the Rockies was Kananaskis Country where we visited Lower Kananaskis Lake and Upper Kananaskis Lake.
The real highlight was finally spotting some wildlife just as we were leaving for the day.
And that’s a wrap for our Rockies Road Trip! We still have lots left to see of our home country, but we can honestly say this is one of the most beautiful destinations in all of Canada.
We hope you guys got a few ideas of places to visit on your trip.
Wishing you happy travels and see you next time!
This is part of our Travel in Canada video series showcasing Canadian food, Canadian culture and Canadian cuisine.

Best Ski Resorts for late season SNOW & spring SKING | Travel Nfx
Book Your Hotel at very cheap Price - 10 Best Ski Resorts for late season snow & spring skiing
Afraid you might have missed your chance to hit the slopes this year? Fear not! Here are 10 of the best resorts still open if you're looking for some late season ski action, plus tips on spring (and summer) skiing...
Why go skiing in spring-summer?
It's cheaper. Late season is low season, so lift passes and accommodation cost considerably less than during mid-winter. Read more of our tips on how to save on ski holidays here.
It’s quieter. Skiing and snowboarding in late season means fewer people on the slopes, and less chance of lift queues.
It’s sunnier! (Generally-speaking) expect more sun, longer daylight hours, and longer lift opening times; enjoy the bbqs and beer drinking that takes place on the sun terraces of slope-side cafes and bars. However, it's not uncommon to get heavy snow even in May, so always come prepared for cold weather!
Tips for late season trips
Head high, or head north. The higher the altitude of the ski area, the colder it is, and therefore the longer the snow lasts, so ideally, aim for resorts that have skiing at 2000m or above.
If the resort incorporates a glacier, even better, as this may mean that skiing is possible almost all year round – albeit on limited terrain and short pistes.
Keep an eye on snow depths which can vary considerably from year to year and can make all the difference between a short or long ski season. Check your chosen resort’s website for the latest.
Top 10 late season ski resorts
1. Val Thorens, France
As Europe’s highest ski resort, most of the skiing here is over 2000m, which means the snow keeps cooler for longer and the lifts keep running until early May. Part of the huge Three Valleys ski area, Val Thorens is an excellent bet for good snow conditions even late in the season. You won't run out of alternative activities either: from mountain biking on the snow to paragliding way above it. LibreEnvol Paragliding School is located at Chalet Caron in Val Thorens and offers tandem paragliding from the top of the Boismint run. Looking for somewhere off the beaten slope? We've rounded up some of the best kept secrets in ski holidays to France.
2. Riksgransen, Sweden
Lying 200km above the Arctic Circle on the border with Norway, Riksgransen is one of the world’s most northerly ski resorts and offers the opportunity to ski in the Land of the Midnight Sun, as the days barely get dark in the summer. The best conditions are found later in the season, the lifts here don’t stop running until the end of June and people have been known to ski in shorts! Grab a self-catered stay at Katterjokk Apartments near the Katterjåkk Train Station and you'll be less than 500 metres from the slopes.
3. Åre, Sweden
Sweden’s number one resort, which also claims to be northern Europe’s largest and most advanced, Åre boasts a season that starts in November and lasts until May. With 100 pistes to enjoy plus night skiing too, Åre is a popular choice for late season skiing. Unwind at the Fjällgården Spa and you can lounge in an outdoor hot tub at 556 metres, overlooking the valley and the frozen Åresjön Lake. Bringing your own skis?
4. Tignes, France
A ski resort with a glacier, winter sports enthusiasts can continue skiing until early May in the main resort at Tignes. Summer skiing on the glacier then starts in June, which offers an impressive 20kms of runs and a vertical drop of over 750m. Tignes is split into three areas but if you're looking for on-hand après-ski drinks, The Marmot Arms in Le Lac is a fun choice with plenty of Happy Hour deals, just next to the Palafour chairlift.
5. Zermatt, Switzerland
This famous Swiss ski resort within sight of the mighty Matterhorn has lifts that take you up to 3899m, and offers skiing till early May before the summer skiing begins on the glacier, meaning that Zermatt is one of the few, truly year-round ski destinations in the world. As a result, the car-free town centre is always full of bustling Alpine atmosphere, with a good range of restaurant and accommodation options. If you're coming by road, park in the village of Tasch, 5 miles away and catch the free shuttle.
6. Saas Fee, Switzerland
With a ski area that sits between 1800m and 3500m and has access to a glacier, Sass Fee offers late-season skiers plenty of snow, whilst at the same time has the chocolate-box charm not always found in other high-altitude resorts. Found near the Italian border, it's also home to Switzerland's highest restaurant, DrehrestaurantAllalin at Mittelallalin (catch the Metro Alpin from Saas Fee) which revolves to give you a ever-changing panorama of mountains as you sip your glühwein, and even claims a view as far as Milan on a clear day.
7. Livigno, Italy
8. Gassan, Japan
9. Whistler-Blackcomb, Canada
10. Mammoth, California

TOP 5 PLACES TO VISIT IN SWITZERLAND - TICINO || Zak Longo & Hannah Rathbun
A few months back we were invited to Switzerland by the Swiss Tourism Board @MySwitzerland. They asked us to pick two regions we wanted to visit. After some research we decided that Ticino, Switzerland (The Italian speaking part) would be our first stop!
Here are the Top 5 Places to visit in Ticino, Switzerland.
We spent four days exploring Ticino, and it's beautiful lakes, and mountains. We started off in the beautiful town of Lake Lugano. It's like Lake Como's prettier cousin. Then the next day- we headed to Lake Locarno, which was also a beautiful lake, and cool little town. We took the bus from Locarno up the mountain all the way to a small town called Sogno. We enjoyed the mountain view, and a couple bowls of pasta. Then from there- we took the bus back down to Valle Verzasca. This was my favorite part of Ticino by far! Valle Verzasca is a fresh water Alpine river that runs between the mountains. It is a popular spot for people to come and relax, and swim. Highly recommended if you visit Ticino!
Then- on our final days we explored the capital of Ticino- a town called Bellinzona which is famous for it's beautiful castles that surround, and overlook the city.
We fell in love with Switzerland, and can't wait to show you Zürich next! If you enjoyed this video please leave a LIKE & SUBSCRIBE.
Also let us know where we should visit next in the comments!
Big thank you to Switzerland Tourism, and Ticino Turismo for having us!

Quebec City part 1

The most beautiful village in Italy - Santa Maddalena, Tirol Dolomites
We decided to knockoff a few months in a very unusual place for digital nomads. While most rub shoulders (and who knows what else) among countless other nomads all over S.E. Asia, we elected to to venture off in complete disconnect 'bliss': the Italian/Austrian border, in the Tyrol region of northern Italy.

Video footage recorded using my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. I know. Embarrassing. Not to worry, significant improvements in gear, and editing will come in later videos.
About Us:
I'm PJ. My partner, inspiration, trainer, chef, and moral compass, Risa, are what we (reluctantly) refer to as, digital nomads. I say, reluctantly, as I've been living the digital nomad lifestyle for about 15 years now (long before the term was coined, and became the cheesy trend it is today. It seems that everyone these days on vacation with a laptop, a pina colada next to them, Avicii on their headphones, and a dozen memory sticks filled with selfies now considers themselves a (don't forget the hashtag) digital nomad.
I started out at age 19. I quit my job at the time, to focus on the then still relatively unknown arbitrage business model as applied on eBay. Long story short, I saw an opportunity, invested all I had in it (time + money) and by my early 20s, I no longer had any interest in returning to Canada (where I grew up). I bounced mostly around Asia, for many years (all the usual nomad hotspots: Thailand, Vietnam, S. Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, with a preference for Japan (lived all over Japan, from Tokyo, to the most remote Japanese islands in the Pacific).
In late 2013, one of my returns to Tokyo, I met a captivating young woman, Risa, who helped me to re-calibrate my high-flyin', rock-star lifestyle and regain focus. Within a few months of meeting, she elected to quit her job in Tokyo and joined me on this nomadic journey. This channel, will document our perpetual traveller lifestyle. It's not always easy, it's not always fun. There are highs and lows. Sometimes money is very tight, other times it seems like it's the least of our worries. But when done right, the digital nomad lifestyle is a journey unlike any other.
Over the last few years, we generally stay off the beaten path and instead venture into areas seldom spoken about in digital nomad circles. You won't see us visiting Bali, Saigon, or Bangkok. Been there, got the SIM card, and still feel a bit hungover.
As we travel, we focus on personal growth, on disconnecting, unlearning, and thus thriving. We attempt to engage in philanthropy when we can. We respect the cultures kind enough to allow us to visit their land and their homes.
Feel free to send us feedback, comments, suggestions. Thank you for taking an interest in our journey. More videos of exotic places, stories, and people, will be uploaded weekly. As a demonstration of my gratitude to you for taking an interest in us, I will continue improving the quality of the content I create for you on a regular basis.
PJ, and Risa
