My Plan to Explore Canada and Beyond
As winter approaches, I find myself at a crossroads. For a while now, I’ve been feeling the need to break away from the confines of the city, from the routine of traditional work.
The idea of remote work has been tugging at me, but the constant changes make it hard to settle into something sustainable. So, I’ve decided to take a big gamble: a travel journey that will allow me to see more of the world, starting right here in Canada.
Why Canada First?
Before I leave the country for good, I realized that there are parts of Canada I haven’t experienced yet. From the vibrant cities to the most remote areas, this country holds so many stories. I want to take my time to discover both the beautiful and the challenging aspects of life here—places often overlooked by tourists or travelers.
I plan to visit different provinces, sleep in various areas, and even stay with people who are often unseen by society, like those in homeless communities. I want to truly understand what life is like in every corner of the country, capturing both the struggles and the beauty that exist side by side.
The Plan
This journey will be difficult during the winter months, so I’m using this time to prepare. Once the weather starts to warm up, I will begin traveling across Canada, province by province. The final stop will be Alberta, where I hope my efforts will culminate in the funds and following I need to take the next step—leaving Canada.
I’ll be documenting my entire experience through my YouTube channel, social media, and my website, getitjay.com. My goal is to raise enough through blogging, remote work, and other ventures so that when the journey across Canada is complete, I’ll be ready to move on to my next destination.
What’s Next?
Although I have a destination in mind, I won’t reveal it just yet. There’s still a world of possibilities out there, and while my plan is to leave Canada, I want to explore all my options before settling on a final destination. For now, my focus is on seeing this country, growing my blog, and sharing my experiences with all of you.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey—whether through my videos, articles, or posts—and who knows, maybe it’ll inspire you to take a leap and explore your own backyard before heading out into the world.
