Looking for a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life here in Canada? A great travel option that’s often overlooked is Amtrak. Their expansive train routes through Canada and the US offer fantastic travel options that promise relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable experiences.

Heading off on your next adventure? Before you jet off, taking the necessary steps to protect yourself and your travel investment is crucial. In a world filled with numerous travel insurance options, exercising healthy caution is ideal and ensures you don’t fall victim to potential scams.

It’s no surprise that cruising is a popular travel choice among Canadians. Multiple destinations in one trip, first-class meals, endless activities, and live shows at your fingertips – what’s not to love? 

Planning a trip? Like everything, the cost of travel has increased exponentially over the past few years. So, how do Canadians cut costs and make the most of their travel budgets? Read on to find out.

Over the past several months, thousands of travellers have faced baggage delays and losses all over the world. I myself experienced the frustration of landing in Rome without our checked luggage—which didn’t arrive until 2 days later. When you don’t have your personal belongings with you, it’s not a relaxing start to what’s meant to be a relaxing vacation!

Whether you’re a certified over-packer or a tech-savvy traveller who owns the latest smart luggage, learning how to pack your carry-on like a pro has some serious benefits. Not only does it help you avoid costly baggage fees, but you’ll also save time getting through security!

Travelling can be a great opportunity to see the world, but it can also have some negative effects on the environment. The world is experiencing what is considered a climate emergency. The United Nations announced that global temperatures are rising at abnormal rates and are getting close to what scientists warned would be “an unacceptable risk.” This doesn’t mean you should stop travelling altogether.

Now that changes in international travel restrictions have made it easier for Canadians to go on vacations abroad during the pandemic, you might risk running into this familiar, yet nerve-wracking scenario: you’ve booked your flight, accommodation, all your activities and restaurant reservations for your upcoming trip… only to realize that your passport, although technically not expired, isn’t valid!

New year decade, new you! Not only is it an opportune time to look back at the past few years, but also to look forward. Perhaps some of your resolutions for 2020 involve you living a more environmentally-sustainable lifestyle.

Summer’s on its way! And after months of winter weather, we’re so ready to get outside and enjoy those long lazy days and sultry nights. Although we’re stoked for beach time, camping trips and extra long weekends, we’re especially looking forward to summer music festivals.
