Who's behind this site?
Hello! I'm Guylaine Spencer, a freelance travel writer, resident of Ontario, and sole owner of this web site. Yes, that's right, all of the reviews and descriptions on this site were written by me, a fellow traveller, just like you, NOT by a Public Relations firm.
I designed this web site with curious explorers in mind, and I put a lot of thought into writing each page. I want to give you more than just names and addresses and puffery. I want to give you the sights, sounds and smells of this place. As I travel around Ontario, I add more pages about my experiences. I hope you'll enjoy this site!
Come along with me and discover:
the thrilling adventure of getting up-close-and-personal with Niagara Falls Canada
the unspoiled natural beauty of Algonquin Park … a real retreat from the rat race!
the antique trompe l'oeil treasures of historic Castle Kilbride
the artistic masterpieces of Ottawa’s National Gallery of Canada
the tantalizing wines of an award-winning Niagara boutique-winery
the dazzling rhythm of Aboriginal dancers at the Grand River powwow
the hot sounds of free outdoor concerts by big name musical performers at Harbourfront Toronto
the small-town charm of Paris, Glen Williams and other secret treasures
... and MUCH, MUCH more.
Are you ready? Good! Let’s go!
