Second largest country, highest number of inland lakes in the world and more than half the land is forest, perfect to lose yourself and be taken by the power of nature.

Growing up in Toronto is hard for me to say bad things about Canada, with such a large land mass its difficult to cover such a large space in a short amount of time, however over years I have visited the Pacific, Rockies and even the Atlantic Coast, so much still to be covered.

Canada boasts the largest unprotected boarder with the United States, and its climate drastically changes from east to west and north to south, from polar conditions to hot sticky summers in the south.

With 80 per cent of its farmland in the prairies coving 3/4 of arable land, it has a large mass of natural resources including oil, gas, coal and iron ore and is today one of the main exporters of food products in the world.

Canada's favourite past-time is living in the outdoors, camping and hiking, walks, sailing, skiing, cross country, picnics, swimming, BBQ's and so much more. Its one of the most active nations in the world, where people play and life is about experiencing and living the outdoor life.

Canada is also one of the most multicultural nations in the world, most of its citizens, including myself, come from else-where. Keep exploring, there is so much to see, choose Canada. Deciding on where to go first is the biggest challenge!
