I love domestic travel.

Don’t get me wrong, I also like to get my passport stamped.

But there’s something fun and cool about spending your vacation time locally or regionally.

It’s fun because you don’t waste your days off travelling or recovering from jetlag.

It’s cool because you can buck travel trends and mainstays for off-the-beaten track destinations that offer exceptional experiences—often without super-premium price tags or other tourist-trap pitfalls.

My home province of British Columbia is blessed with an abundance of awesome outdoorsy destinations—from the world renowned, like Whistler or Tofino; to regional faves like Golden or Kelowna.

I’ve recently discovered—or should I say rediscovered—a place in BC that offers quiet trails, serene lakes, epic snowfall and all the other things that make our outdoors amazing.

Plus, there’s ample places to stay, it’s easy to get to and the prices are low.

And it’s hiding right in plain sight.

Have you considered Prince George?

Today, my guest is Colin Carson, CEO of Tourism Prince George.

And he’s about to blow your mind and re-introduce you to the BC city you thought you knew.
