Exploring Canada Together

From Ukraine to Canadian Highways
From Ukraine to Canadian Highways
We're Bohdan and Anna — a Ukrainian couple who moved to Canada with our dachshund Nika. Back home, we fell in love with driving between small towns. Here, we found a whole country made for road trips.
6,000 km That Started Everything
6,000 km That Started Everything
It began with drives between Sumy, Hlukhiv, and Balakliya to visit family. Then came a 6,000 km road trip through Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania — including the Transfăgărășan — and back. That trip made it clear: the road is where we feel most alive.
Slow Roads, No Rush, Just the Journey
Slow Roads, No Rush, Just the Journey
We pick the longer route over the faster one. We stop when something catches our eye. No schedules, no checklists — just the road, music, coffee, and whatever comes next.
The Guide We Wished We Had
The Guide We Wished We Had
Routes with real distances and costs. Places that are actually worth the drive. Road rules, park passes, pet-friendly stops — practical details that took us hours to find, so you don't have to.
Just Us, Nika, and the Car
Just Us, Nika, and the Car
Early mornings, wrong turns, gas station coffee, weather changes, and a dachshund who sleeps through every mountain pass. That's how every story on this site begins.

Why We Travel

A piece of our story

Back in Ukraine, our favorite thing was driving between towns — just us, the road, and hours of music. After moving to Canada, we found a country built for exactly that. Quiet lakes, mountain cabins, roads that go on forever. Now we chase those moments and write about them here.”

What I really like about this blog is that it feels authentic. It’s not just generic travel advice — you can tell these trips actually happened. I followed one of your British Columbia routes and everything was spot on. Highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys road trips and exploring Canada by car.
