Explore BC

Follow four travel bloggers—two teams of two—on a month-long adventure as they Explore BC and its many unique experiences.

Team Orca consists of Brendan and Rob, hailing from Rocky Mountain House and Ottawa, respectively. Both are seasoned world travellers and this will be the first time they’ll be meeting each other. Team Eagle is Dina and Ryan, a husband-and-wife duo from London, Ontario, who have visited more than 40 countries together since 2009, yet have never visited British Columbia.

Over the course of four weeks this summer, these four bloggers will attempt to experience much of what BC has to offer: everything from white-water rafting and whale watching to gliding and rock climbing; from winery tours and brewery tours to historic museums and aboriginal experiences. Be sure to follow the adventure on our Facebook page and have your say in where they go and what they do!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m an outdoors/adventure type of guy. However, when it comes to hiking, I think I found the perfect trail… and it doesn’t involve a whole lot of exercise.

In Nanaimo, British Columbia the famous food is a dessert bar called the Nanaimo Bar. In town, you can pick up a map and wander around town testing out the variations of the treat. The snack isn’t only available in food form either; you can pick up a Nanaimo Bar latte or have a Nanaimo Bar martini as well. Above, I have included an image of a deep fried Nanaimo Bar from a place in town called Pirate Chips.
