canuck's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

canuck

I am currently a Vancouver chick but don't let my name and location fool you, I was born in Canada but my mum is American. Thus I enjoy duality and the ability to travel, live and work all over most of North America. Plus, I travel a lot. I mean a lot!! I have been from the North Pole to the South Pole and many places in between. And I still have so much more I have to see. I only post places I have been to, so I can attest to the fact that at a minimum I am impressed or amazed by what I saw or experienced.
