A handful of sexy Canadian travel bloggers have banded together to partake in a sort of “travel blog roulette.” Basically I’m here to show you MY Canada…i.e. 5 things you should experience when you’re here. This is fun.

I was tagged by the lovely Kieran and Karin. Do you think they started dating just because their names match up? That’s true love.

I now bestow this honour upon Ayngelina Brogan, Jeff Bartlett, and Canucki Kate.

1. Sexy lumberjacks

Big axe-swingin’, beard-sportin’, plaid-wearin’ lumberjacks. This particular species of man tend to live further north, or at least in rural areas far from the congestion of cities. The exceptions might be Calgary and Edmonton, where the mountains are literally just around the corner.

2. Camping trips with campfires and guitars and beer and jumping from docks into lakes.

Just like what happens in pretty much every Molson Canadian commercial ever aired. (This one is my fave.)

3. Crazy epic landscapes coast to coast

AND THEN THE MOUNTAINS ARE LIKE THIS:

4. We have the oldest city in North America! Take THAT, everyone else!

Yes, St. John’s, Newfoundland. Which also happens to be where I live, which pretty much makes it the best place in the universe. Duh.

5. Poutine.

Ashton, the original poutine! a la Quebec City

Enough said.
