Travel Diary Canada – BC Museum & Butchart Gardens
It’s time for the final post about my trip to Canada! I’d be a little sad to end it if I wasn’t about to fly to New York. In this post I’ll be sharing the pics I took at the British Columbia Museum and then the Butchart Gardens. Starting off with this amazing smoothie bowl that I got from a place called JUSU inside of a building called The Atrium. After that I headed to the museum to see all of the exhibits. I’d definitely recommend a visit there if you are anything like me and enjoy some nerdy history facts. Although, it wasn’t all boring facts. There were plenty…

Travel Diary Canada – Victoria BC: Craigdarroch Castle
Hey again. I’ve nearly finished up with all of the travel posts from Victoria, BC but I’ve still got a few things to share. I’m also really excited about some news I’ll be sharing really soon. So in this post I’m sharing a little about the Craigdarroch Castle. If you saw my post about Hatley Castle then you might remember me talking about the connection between the two castles. Hatley Castle was built by James Dunsmuir, the son of Robert Dunsmuir who built Craigdarroch Castle. There’s quite an bit of history tied into both of these structures, considering how young they are on a world history scale. Upon entering Craigdarroch you…

Travel Diary Canada – Victoria, BC: Castles, Gardens, &…..X-men?
Now I’m sharing some of the photos I took on the third day of my travels. This day was probably the most adventurous of them all, simply for the fact that I opted to use public transportation in an unfamiliar city. I rode the bus towards the outside of the city to pay a visit to the famous Hatley Castle. Let’s just say that after everything I had to do a little walking to get to where I was going, but the good news is that I got there. Oh, but the bad news is that I forgot my camera’s SD card so all of these photos were in…

Travel Diary Canada – Victoria BC: Whale Tales + Fisherman’s Wharf
What’s up my friend? I’m still in Victoria and I wanted to share about another one of the days that I spent here. So the day started out with a little bit of window shopping and exploring the city. Then I found a great place to grab something to eat. I was in the mood for sushi and I tried something I’ve never even heard of before, yam sushi. It was actually so good! It also had some avocado and cucumber too. Super yummy! After that I headed to the bay area and took a ferry boat over to the fisherman’s wharf. It’s a small little port community of floating…

Travel Diary Canada – Victoria, BC: City Sights + Chinatown
Time to share a little about my trip to Victoria! Wanna know a random bit of trivia about Gringalicious? Since we’re all known by usernames here on Steemit you probably didn’t know that my name is actually Victoria. That’s right, so this trip could also be titled Victoria in Victoria, haha. Everything so far has been amazing. Starting with the hotel. I’m staying at the Mariott Inner Harbor and the staff has been so kind. The room is super comfortable and accommodating. My goodness, they even give you q-tips, cotton balls, and fluffy white robes. Not that those are incredibly unusual items but my point is that they care about…

Travel Video! Victoria, British Columbia
Hey again! So I know it’s been a bit since my last post and I’m sorry about that. I’ve been doing quite a bit organizing and sorting through all the photos and video from my recent travels to Victoria, BC. I had such and amazing time there and I’ve got so many photos to share…..but first I wanted you to be the first to see my first travel video. I’m not a pro by any means. (Seriously, this was largely a “figure-it-out-as-you-go” project). I’ve been meaning to break into the video world though and I’m just so excited to share this even if it’s not one hundred percent perfect. I’ll…
