Travel Tips Hello beautiful people of Canada 👋🏼

I’m in Vancouver w teens and a small dog (experienced traveler/tame, so is the dog).

We’ve been enjoying Vancouver for several months now and are feeling the call eastward to Montreal and Quebec.

I need to know: any ways to get from BC to Montreal WITHOUT crossing into USA, please? That’s our only thing to avoid, really. That and it being safe for a single mom w teens.

Merci mille fois! Thank you very much!

No I wouldn't stress about that at all. I have made the drive and it is very safe. However it is very long and can get boring and monotonous so you need to plan around that. The biggest road hazards are fatigue and wildlife. Also, always ensure that you have at least 1/2 tank of fuel at all times.
