well, here started my travels and after missing my first flight in london (good start isn't it?!) i arrived in toronto after 48 hours in planes and on airports. i travelled through ontario and quebec for about a month and was visiting old friends of the family mogensen and did some awesome couchsurfing as well. after being invited back to ottawa for thanksgiving i went on a greyhound bus which took me right through to banff, alberta - 3 days non-stop. the first sight of the rockies completely blew my mind. never in my life have i seen anything that beautiful. after a lot of hiking and mountaineering i left the rockies for whistler. i should here live the last three months of my stay in canada. and it should turn out to be absolutely awesome. it was quite stressful to get accommodation and a job while one million other seasonaires were looking for the same things. but finally everything worked out, opening day came and the fun started. the daily routine from now on was: get up early, snowboard all day, be late for work, have free staff meal, get paid well and choose nightly activities after the amount of energy left. it was tough to leave this place but i had my plans and those were to explore more than only one country. a short stay in vancouver made the end of my stay in the country that should prove itself to be my absolute favorite. oh, canada!
