TOP 10 DON’TS WHEN CROSSING THE US AND CANADA BORDER
1. SHUT UP! PART 1.DON’T TRY TO BE FUNNY.
Border guards are not your friends, and it’s highly unlikely that they moonlight as talent scouts for comedy clubs. This is the wrong moment to make a buddy or tell jokes. Stay respectful and succinct and save the complaints for the drive away from the checkpoint.
2. SHUT UP! PART 2. DON’T DISCLOSE MORE THAN YOU’RE ASKED.
Answer all of the guard’s questions, but avoid getting chatty about your plans if you don’t have to. Thinking of catching up on some work on your laptop a little during your vacation, for example? Don’t mention that. There is no such thing as an American working holiday visa, although there are plenty of options for working holidays in Canada, or for Canadians travelling to other parts of the world. If you’re going to the U.S, however, best to say that your laptop is just for fantasy sports and YouTube. Planning a trip to propose to your girlfriend? Congratulations. But...
3. EVEN YOUR SEX LIFE MATTERS.DON’T MENTION THAT YOU’RE PLANNING TO MARRY A CITIZEN OR RESIDENT OF ANOTHER COUNTRY WHEN YOU’RE ENTERING IT.
Even if you’re in the middle of the appropriate application process, talking about your romantic attachments will not warm the hearts of the border guards and it will get you flagged as a potential risk for illegal immigration. This goes for crossing the US and Canadian border in either direction. Say that you’re visiting “a friend” and save the flaunting of your ring for the day when you’re married or your citizenship and residency information is fully settled.
4. DEVELOP A “CREATIVE VOCABULARY.”DON’T BE IN A RUSH TO EXPLAIN EVERY DETAIL ABOUT THE GOODS YOU’RE BRINGING WITH YOU, BUT KNOW THE RISKS OF INCOMPLETE DISCLOSURE
It can be mighty tempting to try to bring a few extra items back from your trip without declaring them. You can push the limits of the personal exemption (see above for the exact amounts), or you can declare the extras and pay the duties. If you’re pushing it, try to describe dollar values using words like “approximately,” “about,” or “around” if you’re just above the personal exemption limits. Remove the tags, and ditch the shopping bags and receipts. If you are searched and the agents find something that you haven’t declared, it’s most likely that you’ll be delayed and that you’ll have to pay the duty. Hey, people forget the things they buy all the time, right? Mistakes can happen. If you push it too far, however, and you get caught making a false declaration crossing to Canada, you might also have your goods seized or you might have to pay a penalty that’s an extra 25-80% of the goods’ value. The worst case scenario is that you’ll lose the goods permanently and have your vehicle impounded. You’ll also almost certainly find yourself subject to more intense scrutiny at future crossings. Getting caught with small amounts over the limit shouldn’t have lasting repercussions, unless you’re busted repeatedly. Now you know the risks. Govern yourself accordingly. Bonus tip: Never try to conceal anything you just bought at the duty-free shop. They take your name and license plate number and their database is coordinated with the border guards on each side, so lying in this case makes for a guaranteed delay. Don’t do it.
5. A CRIMINAL MIND, IT’S ALL I’VE EVER KNOWN.DON’T LIE ABOUT YOUR CRIMINAL PAST.
If you have run into legal trouble, check to see if it’s serious enough to prevent you from travelling. Each country has its own regulations on this, and most countries reserve the right to deny anyone the right to entry for any reason. If you are denied entry crossing from Canada to US, consider applying for a US Entry Waiver. If you are worried you can’t enter Canada from the US, consider getting a temporary resident permit. The process rules and process for both the US Entry Waiver and the TRP can be complicated and difficult, so you can always seek help.
Tours from the Road - Carcross, Yukon
They (who are they?) say that the Carcross Desert is the smallest in the world! Whoa!
It's all the way up in the mighty Yukon, so just in case you don't get the chance to visit, let Eileen and I take you on a tour!!!
THE YUKON, CANADA - PART 2
From hiking to beautiful viewpoints to walking around the world's smallest desert to catching the train to Alaska, there is so much to see and do in the Yukon.
While I was in the Yukon as a part of the Canadian tourist boards City Bloggers Programme, I really wanted to immerse myself in what makes this such a unique part of the country.
What I experienced was a place like no other in North America, one that so laid back with a raw natural beauty that's so rare to find these days. For me, I loved going on little hikes and ending up at an incredible viewpoint with lakes and mountains all around.
Also, I really enjoyed walking around the little village of Carcross, one of the few First Native tribes you can still find in Canada. And just on the edge of town is Carcross Desert, the world's smallest desert!
To finish things off, I also caught the train from Fraser in the Yukon to Skagway in Alaska , one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world taking you through the snowy mountains.
If you haven't seen it already, this is what I got up to in part 1 of my trip to the Yukon -

YUKON ROAD TRIP - Driving The Golden Circle Route
We spent 7 days driving the world famous Golden Circle Route in the Yukon, one of the best road trips in Canada.
Starting in Whitehorse we headed to Haines Junction, using the beautiful Mount Logan Lodge as our base and hiking around the area. One of the highlights was taking a scenic flight over Kluane National Park!
Afterwards it was onto Haines in Alaska. This part of the drive is stunning, and we had the chance to see grizzly bears feeding on salmon in one of the local rivers.
Across to Skagway, we jumped onboard the historical White Pass and Yukon Route train high into the mountains. Leaving Skagway was like driving across another planet, and we landed in Carcross and stayed at the Southern Lakes Resort.
After exploring the First Nations art in town and wandering around the Carcross Desert, it was time to finish our trip back in Whitehorse.
Thanks to Destination Canada and Travel Yukon for hosting us on our trip to the country.

A Desert In Canada? Adventure #18
My trip to Farewell Canyon. Located in the Chilcotin region of British Columbia Canada, Farewell Canyon is an incredible place to hike, spend the day and enjoy the amazing landscape. With the beautiful green river flowing past, the grass lands all around and the large sand dune in the middle, you will feel like you are in a different part of the world.

6,100 Mile Road Trip Across the US and Canada
After living abroad, I decided to focus more on real life connections and exploring the outdoors more. So, I went on a 6,100 mile road trip across the US and Canada with my friend Damien. We hiked over 175 miles across six national parks including Badlands, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Olympic National Park, Jasper and Banff.
