From mountain-top yoga in the Canadian Rockies to an epic train journey across the country aboard The Canadian. From deep in the silent forests of British Columbia to the pinnacle of man-made heights at the top of the CN Tower in Toronto. From the cascading waters of Niagara Falls to frozen art at Quebec’s world famous Ice Hotel. This summer, I’m exploring Canada — and writing about it with my Indian readers in mind. Naturally, I will write about my journeys so that every reader will (I hope) be inspired to visit this vast and magnificent land. I will include the information you need to turn your dream of visiting Canada into a reality. Look for this message, below.

I’ve lived in Canada almost my entire life. I was born in Canada, as were both my parents, three of my grandparents and lots of great and great-great grandparents. I love this country for the magnificence of the wilderness, the unique northern culture, the friendliness of the people … and so many more reasons, some as-yet-undiscovered. So please come along with me as I explore my home and native land.
