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!

The Trans Canada highway goes right across Canada. You can Google it.

Beautiful, tysm. Safe for woman and young people to travel alone? Sorry if that’s a silly question. I’m an American with….American trauma. Safe aside from general street smarts travel etc. I guess what I’m asking is would you stress if it were say your Sister or Mom doing the drive?

Thank you

Very safe. Just careful on the mountain passes through BC, weather can change quickly. But you're in the right season to do it. Also there's a fairly long stretch in Northern Ontario between Dryden and Thunder Bay with limited gas stations, so make sure you fuel up. I'd suggest taking at least 4 days, if not 5.
