The American Who Keeps Coming Back
Travel has always been my escape from the rat race — and honestly, I enjoy the planning almost as much as being there. Researching destinations, mapping routes, finding that perfect mountain town or coastal stretch. It started in 1987 when a teenager crossed the border from the US into Montréal looking for a good time and ended up with a lifelong obsession.
I'd barely been outside the country. That first trip north changed everything. The scale of it, the wilderness, the way every region felt like a completely different country. I kept coming back — through college, through my twenties, through every phase of life. Over those years I've worked through the Rockies, the Maritimes, the St. Lawrence corridor, the Pacific coast.
I'm not a travel blogger. I have a regular tech day job. But Canada keeps pulling me back, and I finally decided to put everything I've learned into something useful — a site with real prices, honest opinions, video content from places I've actually been, and an AI trip planner that builds itineraries from decades of first-hand experience.
It's the site I wish had existed the first time I crossed that border in 1987. It just took this long to build it.
