Doing a big road trip to Banff and Jasper had been on our Canadian travel bucket list for years, and we’re so glad we were finally able to make it happen!

We drove up in mid-May, which is the perfect time during shoulder season, and stayed at the Fairmont Banff Springs and Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge with our small dog Theo. It was an incredibly romantic and adventurous trip, perfect for couples wanting a quintessential Canadian experience, especially if you’re travelling w ..read more

Portland, Oregon is one of our favourite cities to visit in the United States! Nestled in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, the “rose city” is laid back, incredibly lesbian friendly, and the kind of quirky destination that we love to hang out in for a few days. The people in Portland are friendly and inclusive, and it’s a city where lost arts seem to thrive. You’ll find incredible vintage shops for everything from clothes to furniture, independent record stores with wall to wall classic albums, old historic movie theatres still going strong, and an independent book store that takes up an entire ..read more

We’ve spent the past 22 months staying put here in BC, and we feel so incredibly lucky to be able to call this part of the world home. This has been the first time in the entire 10 years we’ve been together that we’ve stayed in one place for so long, and while we do miss travelling so much, it’s been really nice to take advantage of being home and rediscover this beautiful province. We are completely in love with the West Coast! Being near the water and the mountains is the most magical combination, and living here in Vancouver is the perfect blend of city life while being surrounded by nature ..read more

This fall we’ve been exploring a part of the province that we haven’t seen very much of, Vancouver Island! There is still so much for us to discover, but we really enjoyed travelling on the island this fall and spending some time in new places. One of our favourite new places is Sooke, BC! The town of Sooke is about an hour outside Victoria on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, and it’s a really wonderful change of pace from the city. We stayed at the Prestige Oceanfront Resort and it was absolutely gorgeous! Keep reading for more details on accommodations at the Prestige Oceanfront Resort ..read more

The Yukon Territory has been on our Canadian travel list for years, and we’ve always wanted to experience it during the winter so we’d have the opportunity to see the aurora! We’re so excited that we were finally able to make it up there, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon, is only a short 2.5 hour flight from Vancouver where we live. We flew up in mid-February and spent 5 days enjoying some incredible winter activities, including seeing the northern lights! We stayed at 2 different romantic, lesbian friendly resorts, and got to check out a lot o ..read more

We’ve always had huge dreams for Lez See The World. When we started this business, the number one thing that we kept coming back to was wanting to build something bigger than just the two of us. Our major goal has always been to tell queer stories, and build a community and an audience that celebrates queer women. It’s been nearly 6 years since the idea for Lez See The World was born, and we’re so proud of everything we’ve done so far! This past year was a really pivotal one for us, and we reached some very big goals. We secured more client projects than ever before, and increased our income f ..read more

The beautiful lakeside town of Osoyoos is in Canada’s only desert! Located in BC’s south Okanagan region, Osoyoos is about 5 hours east of Vancouver and is well known for its wineries, beaches, and unique desert climate. This was our first proper visit to the region and we had such a blast! Even though it was early fall it felt like a second summer while we were there. The sun was shining, the weather was warm, and we had perfect conditions for lots of sight seeing outdoors. This really is such a special part of the province and we highly recommend adding it to your BC travel list. Keep readin ..read more

One of the major highlights of our fall travels has been spending more time on Vancouver Island. The island is so big and so beautiful, and we’ve still barely scratched the surface. On this trip we focused our travels in Victoria and Sooke, and we were completely blown away by the town of Sooke. It’s just under an hour from the city of Victoria, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. It’s very quiet and incredibly charming, a great spot to visit if you’re looking for a unique island getaway! We spent the last few days of our trip at Sooke Point Ocean Cottage Resort, and it was incredible. Ke ..read more

The town of Golden is in the Canadian Rockies in eastern BC, about an 8 hour drive from Vancouver and a 4 hour drive from Calgary. The locals like to call it a small town with big adventures, and it couldn’t be more true! We were so impressed with everything this destination has to offer, and we had such a fun visit. With a gorgeous mountain resort, plenty of adventure activities, friendly people, and awesome local businesses, Golden really needs to go on your BC travel list.
