Happy Canadian Day

A few months ago I took a ride of a lifetime.

A friend had booked a Via Rail Canadian trip from Vancouver to Toronto.

I went along, because taking the train across this country had always been on my bucket list.

Now my friend had a Prestige room booked, but let’s get real, I booked a sleeper berth at the not so fancy other end of the train. Luckily I got to share his first-class perks along the way!

What I learned as we covered the miles was priceless.

I can show you some of the beautiful pictures. From our “Before 5am Club” where we would watch the sunrise from the Skyline Dome Car…

…to the stunning scenery that makes the country so astounding.

But for me it was the people.

The staff on board the train were all knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, funny and seemed to make it their mission to ensure our time on board was spectacular. Karine, Ben, David , Meredith, Dori and Kevin (not pictured) were the perfect team.

In a few hours they got to know us and framed the travel experience around our needs, hopes and wishes.

This was a reminder that we live in a astounding country… but the best part of it is us, the people… Canadians.

We make Canada number one in the world.

Huge thanks to Via Rail for reminding me the value of outstanding people.
