Vacationing abroad is too expensive. What are your favourite hidden gems in Canada?
Thanks to Trump’s Iran situation, the price of everything shot up overnight. I was already avoiding travel to the US and thinking about maybe Mexico or Cuba. But that was before things got messy there too. I checked out a few other destination options, but the prices are just unreal.
So now I’m thinking, forget it. I should explore my own country instead.
I ran the numbers, and even with higher gas prices, it’s still cheaper to road trip and camp. I’ve got a decent vacation fund saved up, and I’d rather spend it here and know I’m supporting the Canadian economy.
Right now, the only places on my list are:
- Banff
- Fogo Island
- Tofino
I’m curious what cool place you’d recommend. I know there are a ton of amazing hidden gems I’ve never heard of, and they probably don’t get the attention they deserve.
I love cool small towns, stunning scenery, national/provincial parks, camping, hiking, kayaking, amazing food, historical sites, tourist attractions, etc.
Literally open to anything. Where would you go if you had a few weeks free? Bonus points for being budget-friendly and/or including smart budget hacks.
