A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles, as travel writer Tim Cahill said. As a Pacific Northwest writer who frequently travels to Canada, I couldn’t agree more.
Living barely an hour south of the Canadian border, I’ve had the pleasure of hopping the 49th parallel countless times. The real magic of crossing that line is not just the immediate sense of spaciousness, but the feeling of a familiar, open-hearted welcome. For me, the true measure of a great trip isn’t the checklist of sights I see, but the souls I connect with, and my neighbours to the north rarely disappoint.
