This trip with my grandparents allowed me to revisit the beautiful city and really take in the culture all around me. I always thought Old Quebec was a lot different than the Canada I was used to seeing.

For some reason, I’d had an obsession with visiting Prince Edward Island since I was in high school.

Travel isn’t about running away from something. It’s about running toward something new and unexpected.

My grandparents have family all over North America, so when they invited my sister and I to take a couple of weeks to drive through New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ottawa to visit some family with them, I took the opportunity.
