    Happy you included my neck of the woods in your travel. The financial district, my workhood; and I take the UP train into the office. My stop is Weston - last stop before Pearson.
    Should you do Toronto again, places to explore: Distillery District. Niagara On The Lake. Stratford. A separate trip to Ottawa / Montreal would be great. Thanks for sharing!!

    Wish you had experienced more of Niagara, there’s so much more to do! Also, the surrounding areas have great things to see as well! Winery definitively a great thing your next trip, and so sorry you had a meal that was just “meh” because Canada can DO food! There’s a great guy, Suresh Dosh, find him, follow him for SO many hidden gems! Hotel wise, Delta is great, Harbourcastle is a great place with lake views and quiet night! Hope you come back soon!

    Great video. I grew up near Toronto and lived in the suburbs for awhile. Glad you like Niagara. I like your format for this video - good quality video with music showing the highlights and then you talk about it later. I like that better than a lot of UA-camrs who just talk all the time over the video highlights. I am also a solo traveller - 2 years straight now.

The reason Why I asked i saw a Flight attendant put her luggage against door to keep it open and inspect her room, as a person that have travel along I was wondering if this was something that people do? Love love yr Music very nice and relaxing!! The Falls was BEAUTIFUL❤

    • @2b_hopeful
      @2b_hopeful Рік тому

      I do. Learned that a couple decades ago. Whether solo or traveling w/ others, someone holds the door while the other checks the room. And thoroughly clean bathroom surfaces and never use comforters or top bedding. Only the sheets. Many hotels don't clean comforters or top bedding and many hotels you can tell.

    As culturally diverse as canada is i would not want to live there.
    Visiting is all i will do
    Tim hortons coffee is AMAZING.
    There is a pastry that is unique to canada called a "butter tart" that was flipping amazing.
    And yes their maple syrup is very good. Iv had very good maple yrup from upstate new york and canada still won.
    Um a history traveler as well.

    Yikes . Why do we need to hear political views when traveling??? 😢😢😢. Can’t we just enjoy our vacations.

      I feel people outside the US assume that’s all we talk about. Or care about. It’s actually extremely taboo and disrespectful to speak on politics. For his sake, Lia probably should have told him not to do that! Lol I would give him 0 stars 😂😂

    How come you don't talk to the cemera and provide commentary when you film the places you go? I've seen a few "travel vlogs" like this and I just don't get it. The whole point of travel vlogs is to get your opinions when you visit places as you're there.

    I don't know why that Uber driver thought expressing his feelings about U.S. politics was even appropriate. You're good because I would've told him politely to just drive! Just remember most Trump worshipers are also racists so that's why I would've politely told him to just drive. I sure hope your evaluation of his services reflected your displeasure of his political talk.
