Falling for Canada: A Vegan Traveler’s Autumn in Ottawa | Brighde Reed
Description
After wrapping up an unforgettable World Vegan Travel trip in Croatia, Brighde and Seb swap turquoise seas for golden forests as they embark on an autumn road trip through Eastern Canada. From vegan poutine in Ottawa to peaceful cabin mornings in Quebec’s lake country, and from the magic of Gatineau Park to a rejuvenating day at Spa Nordik, this episode is a love letter to Canada in the fall.
As Brighde shares her reflections on the journey — while in the middle of her Canadian citizenship process — she takes us through stunning landscapes, meaningful cultural moments, and some of the best vegan food the country has to offer.
If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing Canada’s famous fall colours, soaking in forest hot tubs, or discovering how travel can make you feel more at home in the world, this episode is for you.
