• You have to ask yourself, why do we torture ourselves by choosing to live in cities? We say that we’re disconnected when we go into the wild, but really we’re disconnected when we go into towns and cities.
• Jasper is the real deal. Completely mountainy, completely wild.
• If you think you’ve seen a grizzly bear, you’ve probably seen a black bear.

· I certainly understand the appeal of Vancouver.
· Vancouver is a true port town. It’s not like the rest of the “West”.
· The Japanese food — sushi, ramen — is 5 stars.
· To people that keep telling me Vancouver housing is over-priced, my AirBnb has a fig tree and two palm trees in her backyard. So.

· There is something so satisfying about passing through a mountain range. It’s like you’ve found a loophole in the system.
· The railroads really did shape Canada western Canada.
· It’s fun to see remnants of the Old West.
· Once you realize that you’re still in Canada, Osoyoos is unreal.
· And of course, I could easily live in the Okanagan.

· Calgary is not that interesting. 2/10. Would not buy again.
· Banff is…nice? I mean, it’s nice. It’s nice.
· The Banff Springs Hotel was certainly something.
· Most ghost stories just reek of inauthenticity.
· The best way to experience a place is by walking/hiking or biking, and you just can’t do that in Calgary.
· I have nothing else.
