It’s a prime location for a city break as well as a jumping off point for outdoor activities in the nearby mountains, waterfalls and beaches. However, when planning a trip, it can be a bit difficult to figure out what …
So, if you’ve been around for a minute, you’ll know that at the end of 2020, I relocated to Montreal to finally reunite with my boyfriend after months of ongoing border closures.
