Oh Canada, how much we love you! You’re welcoming, diverse, accessible, affordable and truly beautiful!

*well, since we are unable to share this CBC feature we decided to share it in this format.

Looking for the best vacation spots in Canada? Our fellow Canadians have some great ideas for you!

This year, many people have decided to spend their travel dollars in Canada, given tensions with our friends south of the border, the popular CBC radio show, The Current, set out to build a Canadian travel guide.

Loyal listeners sent more than 2,000 suggestions of places to visit, which they whittled down to a shortlist of 20 destinations. Here are the top 10. Look today’s article to see them all.

Note that Destination Canada and the provincial and territorial tourism offices also have great websites, should you want to explore more regions and sites.

Happy holiday planning! 🇨🇦

*Oh, personal favourites are close to our home(s), Tofino and Québec. The beautiful Maritime provinces are also very unique. You can’t beat the genuine and friendly hospitality!

Attention ladies, female adventurers and trekking enthusiasts! We must tell you again about this empowering adventure.

Yukon-based sustainable adventure and trekking specialist, Terre Boréale in launching a “Women-Only” Wilderness Trekking Adventure along the historic and stunning Dempster Highway, July 11–20, 2025

This epic 8-day trek cuts through one of North America’s last truly wild frontiers—stretching deep into the Arctic landscape, beyond the Arctic Circle. It offers spectacular views of the tundra, soaring peaks (glowing under the midnight sun) and the pristine beauty of the Tombstone Territorial Park which offers a surreal natural escape. It offers a world few have seen. Amazing food and comfortable accomodation is part of the adventure too!

Led by skilled and experienced female guides with deep wilderness knowledge, this small-group journey is designed to empower women through shared adventure, connection, and discovery. Women feel safe, supported, and deeply inspired in their company.

Ladies, this is your time!
Go explore on your own and see how good you’ll feel!

The world is ditching the US for Canada and we are thrilled to welcoming visitors with open arms and hearts. 🇨🇦 🫶

Rising costs, visa uncertainty and the Trump effect are leading holidaymakers to consider switching the US for its northern neighbour. Could this be its time to shine?

The solo female travel market is the biggest in the industry worlwide.

There are plenty of destinations to chose from so why not consider Peru?

Solo female travel offers freedom, empowerment, and personal growth—and Peru is an incredible place to experience all of that.

From breathtaking landscapes to rich cultural experiences, here’s why Peru (and one of my clients, Alpaca Expeditions) is a great choice for women.

1. Supportive & Safe Guided Adventures
*Trekking to Machu Picchu with Alpaca Expedition means you’re never truly alone, their local female guides ensure a safe and supportive journey, with a women led team dedicated to comfort smd safety.
*Small group tours allow for camaraderie with like-minded travelers while still enjoying the independence of solo travel.

2. Confidence-Boosting Challenges
*Trekking the Salkantay Trail can be challenging but it’s an empowering achievement that builds confidence and resilience.
*Overcoming high-altitude hikes and rugged terrain is a rewarding experience that proves your strength and capability.

3. Authentic Cultural Connections
*Meet Indigenous communities, learn from Quechua women weavers, and experience Andean traditions firsthand.
*Traveling solo often leads to deeper cultural immersion, as locals are more likely to engage in meaningful conversations.

4. Ethical & Female-Friendly Travel
*Alpaca Expeditions is committed to responsible tourism, supporting local communities and employing female porters—one of the few tour operators in Peru to do so.

5. Hassle-Free Planning & Local Expertise
*Traveling solo doesn’t mean planning alone—operators take care of logistics, permits, and accommodations so you can focus on the experience.
*Solo travelers often appreciate guided treks for added security and peace of mind in remote areas.

6. A Welcoming & Diverse Travel Community
*Peru attracts adventurous travelers from around the world, making it easy to connect with fellow hikers and make new friends along the way

7. A Life-altering Experience
*Standing at Machu Picchu after days of trekking is an unforgettable moment of accomplishment, made even more special when experienced on your own terms.
*Solo female travelers often describe their journey in Peru as life-aftering—an experience that fosters confidence building, independence, self-discovery, and a deeper appreciation for the world.

We did it—and we had a blast!

Our small but mighty Vancouver RCGS Fellow delegation took the plunge into the frigid Pacific Ocean today.

A huge thank you to Canadian Geographic for organizing this meaningful initiative—for the love of Canada, Canadian Geographic and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s research and educational initiatives, including the .

Looking for travel inspiration? Check out this fantastic list of lesser-known destinations!

Fellow Canadians, take note—beautiful Newfoundland and Haida Gwaii are featured on the list. Something to consider as many of us are exploring alternative travel plans.

From bubblegum-coloured lakes in Australia to a solar-powered safari camp in Botswana, these are BBC journalists' top destinations this year.

Who doesn’t like Rick Steve?
Fun read!

Travel writer Rick Steves’ adventures on the Hippie Trail from Istanbul to Kathmandu made him think differently about the world. He says others should seek out mind-expanding travel, too.

Like many other small 🇨🇦businesses across the nation, we are deeply concerned about the current state of affairs with our southern neighbor—our biggest trade partner and friend. In these unsettling times, we believe it’s more important than ever for Canadians to stand together.

I’d like to encourage friends to consider spending their holiday budget within our great country—we have so much to offer from coast to coast to coast. Now is the time to support Canadian adventure providers and operators by exploring closer to home or, if you prefer, anywhere but south of the border for now. Of course, Mexico remains a great ally and destination.

We are currently working with incredible clients based in BC, the Yukon and on Canada’s East Coast. Let me know if you’d like to learn more about them—or feel free to check out my posts.

I appreciate, respect, and love my American friends, relatives, industry colleagues, and the tourism operators I currently collaborate with, and I sincerely hope you understand our stance.

What strange times we live in! Let’s hope this doesn’t last too long. 🙏🇨🇦
