Roaming Canada: Real trips, helpful tips, and everything in between.
Welcome to the heart of Roaming with Zinkie — where all my Canadian travel adventures come to life. From detailed itineraries and to planning tips and personal stories, this is where I share how I explore my own backyard as a full-time working Canadian.
Whether you're:
🧳 Dreaming up your next long weekend
🔍 Searching for hidden gems or ideas beyond what shows up in guidebooks
🗺️ Or just curious how I plan trips around a 9-to-5 life
You’ll find it all here.
Every post is built on real experience, with honest advice, practical info, and a whole lot of love for thoughtful travel. No pressure, just helpful, relatable stories to help you roam smarter (and stress less while you do).
