Toronto was a lot of fun. Because my hostel in Edmonton was really bad I paid a little more money for a room with only 4 people. The room turned out great! My new strategy for picking hostel rooms Is to never go for the cheapest room because it usually has rougher people in them. I met a scottish guy named Martin with the thickest accent I've ever heard. I'm naturally bad with accents so it was tough for me but he was a really cool guy. The CN tower was reaaally ...

I had a great time in Winnipeg visiting my sister Brice. We never really hung out as kids, her being 10 years older but the 4 days I've spent with her have really brought us closer. The Assinaboine river runs through Winnipeg and there is this little touristy place that's right in downtown Winnipeg on the river and it was very nice. I only ended up spending 1 day in Winnipeg and the rest of the time in Shilo, a military base outside of town where my sister lives....

I woke up in the morning feeling very sore after the 22km hike. After having breakfast at the hostel with tim and bart I headed down to the town of Jasper to explore the town until my train leaves.

Luckily the bank took them but it was quite a scare. After this I met up with one of the ...

I got on the train in Vancouver and after a long night trying to sleep in uncomfortable train seats i had a fairly decent first day of travel. I took lots of pictures and going through the rockies was really cool. I met a brazilian backpacker named Leo on the train and we talked for a while. My first hostel experience was really great. I was suprised that I was one of the only canadians in the hostel. The first night I was sitting at a table in the commonroom wit...
