Vlog #1 - Going to Montréal, QC, Canada
What's up, ladies and gentledudes? Surprisingly, today is my first vlogging day! And for the first time, I have chosen to film a vlog about my road trip to Montréal, Canada. Come and experience my journey to Montréal, and enjoy the funny fails that happened on the way (e.g. the time I opened the curtain and....I think I'm spoiling too much.) I've travelled millions of times to Montréal, and it has never been so interesting than this time.

TORONTO - bus tour and harbor cruise
Toronto is a great city to which I keep returning every single year due to it's amazing location. On this occasion I took a tour which allowed me to visit it by bus and also to tour it's islands located in the harbor near the small airport.
Both tours were impressive and due to the 'crazy' weather announced for that day (with terrible storms in some part of Toronto) we decided to first take the harbor cruise which I would highly recommend for everybody to do; later on we did the bus tour which took us north, right near Casa Loma, which I visited in the past.... and everything in between.
Check my other videos taken during this September 2018 trip in this beautiful part of the world, taking you through different locations in Ottawa and in between and back to Toronto with further stops in Detroit, USA at several very impressive places.
And I sincerely hope all this information was of some help to you.
For more information and related reviews check my pages on TripAdvisor where I have thousands of reviews, pictures etc:
Thank you for bearing with me whilst learning how to make my very first videos and set up everything: I am my worst enemy and criticised my every single step for not making it better in a 'pure perfection' state. Thank you everyone for taking the time to check this.
