New to my channel? Hi, I'm Josh Rimer - a gay travel vlogger/YouTuber, and TV host/producer! I visit a new gay-friendly destination every 2 weeks with my boyfriend Heath and we bring you along with us on our trips to help you figure out where you might like to go too!
Every Tuesday I upload a Travel Tuesday video where I show you everything we experienced during a day of our visit including the hotel, restaurants, and attractions. See the previous ones at
Every Thursday I upload a Hotel Hangout video from our hotel room where I tell you a story, collaborate with an LGBTQ local, or play a game with my boyfriend. See those at
I also have a 3 minute video called The Travel Tidbit which airs every day on OUTtv during (or in between) their regular programming. That TV channel reaches 1.2 million Canadians so if you live in Canada too you might have seen our travels during shows like RuPaul's Drag Race when my video takes over an entire commercial break! They also upload those on their YouTube channel at
Everything in this video was shot on my iPhone X! I'm a Team TELUS Advocate so they've got me covered with great gear and plans to document my travels and stay connected when I'm on the go!

Driving Oakbank, Manitoba, Canada
Oakbank is a small community in Manitoba, Canada located about 15 km east of the provincial capital Winnipeg, in the Rural Municipality of Springfield. It has a population of about 4,600 persons and serves as a dormitory town or bedroom community for Winnipeg, as a majority of the residents work in Winnipeg. Oakbank's rapid population growth is representative of small towns in the Winnipeg Capital Region, as two new housing developments are being expanded in the town.

Historical Quebec City
The many historical buildings and museums include Notre Dame Cathedral, the Information Center and the Musée du Québec (or the National Museum of Québec). Encircled by a three- mile-long stonewall, Québec Citys downtown core has been inhabited for 400 years, and still looks as it did during the French regime. You can stroll through narrow winding streets and hidden courtyards, discovering marvelous one-of-a-kind shops and delightful bistros. Fashionable streets are lined with buildings of diverse architectural styles.
Visiting the Hockey Hall Of Fame in Toronto Canada
Visiting the Hockey Hall Of Fame in Toronto Canada. There are certain things I miss about home more than others when traveling abroad. Aside from friends and family, I really miss hockey just as much as anything else. To understand how important hockey is to Canadians you need to look at examples of sports fanatic nations around the world. Hockey in Canada is the equivalent of soccer in Brazil, rugby in New Zealand and/or cricket in India.

Ice hockey was invented in Canada and we're very proud of our national sport; however, the game has truly become global in recent decades, now being played quite seriously around the world.
Visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada allows you to get glimpse into a hockey mad nation by entering its finest and more sacred shrine.
Inside you'll find collections of both vintage and modern sweaters, goalie masks, player equipment (including helmets, skates, gloves,etc) and displays dedicated the the legends who have played the game over the years.
My favorite part was the interactive zones where I had a chance to shoot pucks at a video screen goaltender, put on a mask and gloves attempting to stonewall Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier, and call the game from the broadcast section.
A theme room, dedicated to the Montreal Canadiens dressing room - Canada's most accomplished professional NHL hockey team - allows to wander around and sit down feeling as though you are part of the team.
Finally, having a chance to view Lord Stanley's Cup (The Stanley Cup) is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get up close to one of sport's great trophies.
Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame even if you're not a fan of hockey or sports in general. It is a glimpse into the Canadian psyche as much as anything else.
When visiting Toronto checking out the Hockey Hall of Fame should be a high priority.
Today is a very exciting day for me. I'm back in Canada and I'm visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame. For those of you who don't know, hockey is almost like a religion in Canada. People go crazy over it. I'm as big of a hockey fan as there is so I can't wait to take you inside and show you around.
Upon entering you'll notice many displays including vintage and modern goalie masks.
Collections are gathered for both stars of today's and those from past eras.
Including Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Wayne Gretzky and Maurice 'Rocket' Richard.
One of my favorite areas was the interactive zone where I got to shoot pucks at a screen with a video game goalie.
I eventually even scored! YEAH!
After I fended off shots from Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier by putting on a glove and blocker
My favorite part was the broadcast room where I got to call the game. Nash in on two defenders, makes a sick dangle. Oooh, what a goal! The crowd goes crazy!
Visiting the Montreal Canadiens dressing room was simply cool.
And who could forget getting a glimpse at the Stanley Cup. My favorite team the Chicago Blackhawks won it all last year.
I spent the rest of my time wandering around admiring hockey jerseys and vintage gear from all over the world. It has truly become a global sport.
Overall, it was an awesome way for me to spend an afternoon back home in Canada.
This is part of our Travel in Canada series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Canadian culture, Canadian arts, Canadian foods, Canadian religion and Canadian people.

San Diego Border Field State Park Hike
This unique and quirky California State Park is located at the southern coastal edge of San Diego, where the beach meets the border fence with Mexico. In this video, I hike from the entry gate at Monument Road, to the beach, and then along the beach to the border fence and border monument.
The Border Field State Park is a part of San Diego that very people see. It's a most bizarre area that is characterized by farms, horse ranches, and the border patrol. On the United States side of the border, there's really not much. However, Mexico is built right up to the border fence. The beach on the United States side is empty, and there are often signs that warn of contaminated water. On the Mexico side, the beach is always filled with people, having fun, laughing, swimming, etc. In addition to hiking to the monument, this park is also popular with bird watchers and horse riders because it is a part of the Tijuana River Estuarine Research Reserve.
Visiting the park can be a somewhat unwelcoming, but rewarding experience. Don't let the lack of a grand entry/welcome deter you. I think most people get to the locked entry gate and just turn away. Armed with the information here, and in this video you'll be able to make it to the monument and see a side of San Diego that most people never get to see.
