The butt of jokes for years on end, our northern neighbor is a friendly, safe, scenic, and delicious one. No long-haul flights needed, solo travelers from the U.S. could use Canada as even just a weekend away. Vancouver’s outdoor markets and fresh seafood is but one part of the culinary landscape with Quebec’s poutine (pictured) rounding out more easterly offerings. It is the eighth safest country in the world and boasts a calendar chock-full of food, wine, and art festivals (not to mention an extensive list of outdoor activities) like the British Columbia Shellfish Festival, Mondial de la Bierre in August, the Niagara Ice Wine Festival, maple festivals, and a wild blueberry festival on Prince Edward Island.
