Hello!
25.8-5.9.2016
It has been over a month when I arrived to Canada! Time flies and I feel super happy and blessed. English feels like first language for me now (even it's not fluent yet) and I feel more comfortable to write in english because speaking and writing in english is part of my daily life now.
I have had an amazing opportunity to travel around British Columbia since I arrived to Canada 25.8.
My counsellour Marlana has took me to experience so many awesome things.
She's the best and I feel so grateful!
I flew from New York to Calgary and from Calgary to Grande Prairie.
I didn't feel really well in last flight to Grande Prairie because plane was very small and there was lot of turbulence during a flight. At the same time I was excited and super tired (jet lag is weird combination, eh?) and have crossed so many time zones in four days that I threw up in a plane. :D
My wonderful counsellour Marlana Blouin was waiting me at the airport and we started our roadtrip adventure immediately driving to Hinton, Alberta in same day.
We stayed at a motel and started driving next day. We drove thought National Parks Jasper and Banff. Nature is so beautiful here: Rocky mountains, turquoise water, green forests and wildlife. Saw three bears!
We drove to Cranbrook to celebrate Marlanas cousins wedding. Venue was beautiful and wedding reception was outside near by mountains. Brides and grooms families stayed in a camping area near by venue and we slept there one night before wedding. I got to meet Marlanas whole family! We stayed in a tent and we had a big bonfire in a camping area.
I had lot of fun in the weddings! Canadians are super friendly and social.
We danced till 2am in a morning.
Next day we drove to Abbotsford to visit Marlanas husband Jason and his sisters family. I brought them some salmiakki and Fazerin sininen for souvenir. Thank you for everything, I had lot of fun with you Kent, Danet, Macie, Caleb, Oakley and Marnie! They were super welcoming, and they are awesome people with big heart. We celebrated Jasons birthday, had a game night, Once upon a time-marathon, played Mario Kart, went shopping, we visited in Storybooke (where Once upon a time was filmed) and had fun swimming in a pool in camping area!
Jason studies in Burnaby in BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology) and we visited there often and I got to experience small piece of a campus life!
We stayed 4 nights in van in camping area near by Jasons school. There was a swimming pool and hot tub in camping area so swam and just relaxed there couple times.
We spent one day in Vancouver. Oh how I loved that city! We visited in Stanley Park, crossed Capilano Suspension Bridge (super cool) and did Fly over Canada in Canada place. Fly over Canada was the coolest experience ever! It's virtual flying experience over Canada and in 15 minutes you get to see all the beautiful nature, cities and culture Canada has to offer. Almost cried (:D) because it was so amazing and made me appreciate and love Canada even more.
Macie, Marlana, Caleb and me playing super fun family game! ( + Tried to use selfiedtick)
We spend Labour day weekend in Seymour Arm, surrounded by beautiful nature without service with Marlana, Jason and Jasons childhood friends. We had so much fun! We roasted a pig, ate well and sat by the bonfire listening old records under thousand stars. It was so neat!
Next day we spent in a secret place which is amazing place! Water is so clear, sand is white, sun was shining and you can see the mountains. Jason showed me waterfalls and we went running. It was really cool!
Labour day Monday we started our trip home and said good bye to Jason who drove back to Burnaby. I had a blast and best road trip ever!
After 10 days and 4000 kilometers I finally arrived to my wonderful hometown Dawson Creek.
More about my life here in a next post!
