    Great video mate. I think this has been one of the true positives and silver linings of the pandemics. It's important we look for those things at times like this. The pandemic has really made people slow all the way down and stop for a moment. We spend so much of our lives taking 'home' for granted, not appreciating what is on the doorstep. Ottawa looks amazing to me!

      Josh Edwards it really opened my eyes to how much we take for granted and taught me that adventure and travel is applicable to wherever you are, not just when you fly across the pond. Appreciate the kind comment my friend and would love to show you around this city down the line!

    I personally found Ottawa very boring, mostly anti-social, too governmental, lack of attractions as such no wonderland, big zoos, harsh cold weathers, etc., and this is coming from a very social extroverted guy who likes to be a fun welcoming guy.

      @@shumayelkhan8154 not the best places bro. I'm not so sure about the other two but in general Canada lacks a social environment. I've heard from my second cousin that when he went to Calgary for engineer job it was a very conservative city, mostly work orieted, lacks social life, very toronto like with its buildings though, and their maybe a few nice destination trips their but not much. When it comes to dating life I would advise aiming for South America, Dubai, Greece, etc.

    Very boring since the pandemic and since the Ottawa Senators are not a playoff contender anymore, no CFL and no festivals. I find it's kind of fun to ride an e-bike in Ottawa since there's plenty of bike path. My favorite part about Ottawa would be Canada day, not with virtual.

    No, Ottawa IS boring. And you said it, it's the boring people who make up 99% of the city's population who are causing many including myself to vow to never live nor return to it. The conservative mindset is exhausting. It's unfortunate as I watched your entire video and appreciate the effort you put to outline the nice hotspots but at the end, reality check, Ottawa is a boring city.
