Canada Road Trip Vlog | Driving from Ontario to British Columbia
Join us for an epic Canada Road Trip in this vlog as we highlight our journey driving from the Ontario to British Columbia as a family traveling with a dog. As one of our last major trips of 2018 it was an incredible opportunity to travel with Audrey's family and Togo the German Shepherd across Canada. Basically we all piled into a van and drove roughly 9 to 12 hours per day over 4 days to arrive in Alberta before spending a couple of nights with a family friend before making the brief crossing over to British Columbia. Overall, our journey looked like this:
Day 1 Driving in Ontario and staying overnight in a cabin
Day 2 Once again driving in Ontario and staying overnight in a cabin
Day 3 Driving out of Ontario crossing through Manitoba and staying overnight in Saskatchewan in an airbnb
Day 4 Driving from Saskatchewan in to Alberta and staying overnight with a friend
Day 5 Exploring Alberta (which we'll show in another video) and staying overnight with a friend
Day 6 Crossing from Alberta to British Columbia
Basically if you're looking to do a road trip like this across Canada you can make it from Ontario to British Columbia in four busy days or a more comfortable 5 days.

Canada Road Trip Vlog | Driving from Ontario to British Columbia Travel Video Transcript:
So here we have Togo he jumped in the car. He is ready for his road trip. Ready to see all of Canada. He looks so happy.
Well, good morning good morning. Good morning guys. We are kicking off this road trip. It is happening. It is happening. The plan. I feel like we haven't really explained it. We came up with the idea to do this last minute road trip with my family. With my parents with the dog. We're going to be driving from Ontario to BC. Yeah, British Columbia for those who don't know. Haha. British Columbia. Sam's home province. I haven't been there in over 10 years I'm so excited to go back. It is going to be fun. I've never been there before. It is going to be 4 days of driving to get there. We're going to show you guys the road trip and then once we get to BC we're going to be doing lots of hiking, visiting lakes, mountains, nature. It is going to be a good time and then on the way back we're planning to travel via the US if we can get across the boarder with this dog.
We want to hit the road. We've got three provinces in one day. It is very exciting. Want to name them all? We're leaving Ontario. We're going to Manitoba and then we're finishing off in Saskatchewan. We've got a lot of driving.
We are getting close to Regina. We like blasted through Manitoba. It took us two and half days to get through Ontario and just a few hours to get through Manitoba. Flat roads the whole way and yeah the scenery didn't really change. Like we started off with a little bit of forest as we crossed through Ontario into Manitoba and then it became flat like a pancake and it was mostly like farmland so it was a completely different change of scenery.
We are going to be continuing the road trip out to BC (British Columbia) so like yesterday we did a little bit of sightseeing around Alberta but now we're going to finish off strong so we have about three hours left to drive over across the Rockies.
I think we can say welcome to home sweet home. Where are we? Welcome to my home province of British Columbia guys. This is my first time in Invermere. It looks like a beautiful town and we're going to show you the house that we're staying in. This is going to be our little base as we explore BC and Alberta. The Rockies. But before we do that I've just got to show you how big the property is.
This is part of our Travel in Canada video series showcasing Canadian food, Canadian culture and Canadian cuisine.

Exploring British Columbia
If you haven't been to British Columbia, Canada, this short video will definitely wet your appetite.
Given its varied mountainous terrain and its coasts, lakes, rivers, and forests, British Columbia has long been enjoyed for pursuits like hiking and camping, rock climbing and mountaineering, hunting and fishing.
Water sports, both motorized and non-motorized, are enjoyed in many places. Sea kayaking opportunities abound on the British Columbia coast with its fjords. Whitewater rafting and kayaking are popular on many inland rivers. Sailing and sailboarding are widely enjoyed.
In winter, cross-country and telemark skiing are much enjoyed, and in recent decades high-quality downhill skiing has been developed in the Coast Mountain range and the Rockies, as well as in the southern areas of the Shuswap Highlands and the Columbia Mountains. Snowboarding has mushroomed in popularity since the early 1990s.
The 2010 Winter Olympics downhill events were held in Whistler Blackcomb area of the province, while the indoor events were conducted in the Vancouver area.
In Vancouver and Victoria (as well as some other cities), opportunities for joggers and bicyclists have been developed. Cross-country bike touring has been popular since the ten-speed bike became available many years ago. Since the advent of the more robust mountain bike, trails in more rugged and wild places have been developed for them.
Some of the province's retired rail beds have been converted and maintained for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. Longboarding is also a popular activity because of the hilly geography of the region. - wikipedia

Toronto, from the University to the College of Art and Design - Canada HD Travel Channel
The University of Toronto, founded in 1827 as a King's college, counts as one of the top Twenty of the world and has approx. 60.000 students, including 6,000 international. Particularly the medical faculty is famous for pioneering achievements in the field of the research over insulin and diabetes and for the development of the first cardiac pacemaker. Until now, the university has produced six Nobel prize winners
Victorian High Gothic style, architectural expression of all values of the British monarchy into pure culture; on this university campus one thinks to be in Great Britain, an impression to which you succumb in this country at most in Ottawa.
Squirrels seem to feel comfortable everywhere in Canada. Anyway one cannot describe them as a shy.
Between the University and Finance District is the parliament building of Ontario, formerly Upper Canada, built in 1886 in neo-Gothic style. Premier Whitney, in power from 1905 to 1914, laid the foundation for industrialization of Ontario by establishing the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission. However, he also split the country by regulation 17, which prohibited the teaching of French in the first three school years.
The Queens Park forms a last green barrier in front of the skyscrapers of the Downtown.
The Art Gallery of Toronto is one most important art collections of Canada. The adjacent Sharp Centre for Design of the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) is distinguished by its unique architecture, in vernacular called flying tabletop. In this quarter you find the oldest houses in the city.

Die 1827 als King's College gegründete Universität von Toronto zählt zu den Top-Twenty der Welt und hat ca. 60.000 Studenten, davon rund 6.000 Internationale. Besonders die medizinische Fakultät ist berühmt für Pionierleistungen auf dem Gebiet der Forschung über Insulin und Diabetes und für die Entwicklung des ersten Herzschrittmachers. Die Universität brachte bisher sechs Nobelpreisträger hervor.
Viktorianische Hochgotik, architektonischer Ausdruck aller Werte der britischen Monarchie in Reinkultur; auf diesem Universitätsgelände glaubt man, in Großbritannien zu sein -- ein Eindruck, dem man in diesem Land sonst allenfalls in Ottawa erliegt.
Eichhörnchen scheinen sich in Kanada überall wohl zu fühlen. Als scheu kann man sie jedenfalls nicht bezeichnen.

Premier Whitney, von 1905 bis 1914 an der Macht, legte den Grundstein zur Industrialisierung Ontarios durch die Gründung der Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. Allerdings spaltete er auch das Land durch die Regulation 17, die das Lehren von Französisch in den ersten drei Schuljahren verbot.
Der Queens Park bildet eine letzte grüne Barriere vor den Hochhäusern der Downtown.
Die Art Gallery of Toronto ist eine der bedeutendsten Kunstsammlungen Kanadas. Das daneben liegende Sharp Centre for Design des Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) zeichnet sich durch seine eigenwillige Architektur aus. Der Volksmund nennt es „Fliegende Tischplatte. In diesem Viertel stehen die ältesten Häuser der Stadt.

Thames Barrier - Great Attractions (United Kingdom)
Take a tour of Thames Barrier in United Kingdom -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Thames Barrier, located in London, is currently ranked second on the list of the World's Largest Moveable Flood Barrier's.
After the flood of 1953, which claimed the lives of around three hundred people, it was obvious that something needed to be done about the rising water problem; the Thames Barrier was the solution.
The flood barrier became operational in 1982 and was built to be of use until 2070.
Run and maintained by The Environment Agency, the barrier stretches across two hundred and fifty meters of the Thames River.
The most recent closure of the barriers was in November 9th, 2007 due to a large storm surge in the North Sea.
The lights reflecting off the waters at night help make this landmark a modern marvel worth visiting day or night.

10 Reasons to Visit Ukraine Travel Tips
Are you considering traveling to Ukraine? Come find out 10 reasons to visit Ukraine along with some of our best travel tips to make your trip to Ukraine as enjoyable as possible.
On a personal level, Ukraine was the most pleasantly surprising country we visited this year on tour across Europe. Not knowing what to expect and not having much time to prepare we arrived in Ukraine with fresh eyes while hitting the ground running.
Overall we visited Kiev and Lviv and left wanting to explore more of Ukraine. How expensive is Ukraine? Our top 10 reasons to visit Ukraine covers accommodation, food, attractions and transportation along with a slew of other travel tips.
10 Reasons to Visit Ukraine Travel Tips

-Groceries reasonably priced - we loved chocolate + wine
2) Ukraine is an Underrated Country to Visit
-We didn't encounter many other tourists - especially International visitors
-Attractions were not overrun and sometimes if we visited early enough on a weekday we had places to ourselves
-The only exception to that is churches because they're active places of worship
3) Safety

-We walked around with our cameras without any issues
-No hassles while walking around
-I went jogging at night in Kyiv
-Locals are out enjoying life - playing chess in parks, eating in restaurants and using public spaces for concerts
4) Friendliness of locals in Ukraine
-Really good and friendly service at restaurants (some English spoken most of the time)
-Great AirBNB hosts who both went above and beyond to help us
-Even with language barrier smiles aplenty
-As a travel tip for Ukraine learn to read the Cyrillic alphabet
5) Traditional Ukrainian Food in Kiev and Lviv
-Good local food scene - for all price points
-Typically Ukrainian cuisine is hearty and filling
-Some of our favorite Ukrainian food includes the following:
a) varenyky (dumplings)
b) banosh (polenta, bacon and sheep's cheese)
c) deruny (potato pancakes with sauce)
d) borscht
6) Thriving International Food Scene
-Georgian cuisine

7) Transportation
-awesome metro system in Kiev (grand stations and deep underground + affordable prices)
-deepest station in the world in Kyiv (5 minutes)
-great connections from airport to city center in Kyiv
-taking the train from Kiev to Lviv and it was efficient, on time and comfortable
8) Architecture in Ukraine
-interesting mix of a bit of Soviet but mostly ornate European architecture
-some parts look like they could belong in Paris or Buenos Aires and other parts are distinctly soviet
-painted in cheerful colors
9) Ukrainian Churches in Kyiv and Lviv
-Orthodox churches and monasteries in Kyiv - main attractions
-ornate and onion domes - impressive on inside and outside
-women need to cover up in Orthodox churches
-active places or prayer
-witnessed weddings in Lviv
Lviv features numerous types of churches
