Adventuring in Canada: A Fresh Perspective
This week’s guest wants you to see Canada in a way you never have before.
Adventuring is back and better than ever. As borders open up, more people are beginning to consider where they should go next. We too are equally excited about the journeys ahead, celebrating it all with new episodes of our podcast, Let’s Go Together, which highlights how travel transforms our perspectives of the world.
Meet Brian McIntosh
In our latest episode, Edwards chats with travel influencer and adventure traveler Brian McIntosh about his journeys to remote destinations and exploring the breathtaking Canadian backcountry.
Experiencing the Depths of Nature
“When I first started traveling, I was really all about the all-inclusive vacations, the partying, the sightseeing of course, but I was doing a lot of touristy stuff. Then I just got tired of it. I was seeing the same images online all the time,” McIntosh reflects. “And although those images are online all the time for a reason, because those experiences are great and memorable, I just felt like I was missing something. I needed to dive deeper.”
And deeper he went, into the wilderness, sharing with his followers just how spectacular Mother Nature really is throughout Canada. He highlights various cultures and landscapes that might surprise many travelers.
Unique Canadian Experiences
“Out in Quebec, you have Nordic spas,” he mentions. “Quebec is the closest you’ll ever get to Europe without going to Europe. There’s a completely different culture here. Most people don’t even know that there’s a desert in Canada. We have beautiful Caribbean-type sand in Ontario. No one really knows that this exists. You have the locals that know, but as a whole, no one really knows. So I’m just happy to be able to put my spin on Canada, give it a fresh outlook, a fresh perspective, and put a little bit of respect on Canada’s name and the travel industry.”
