Marianna is originally from Australia, where she began her career in the travel industry.
It wasn’t until a work trip in 2019 that she had the chance to visit Western Canada, and it was love at first sight.
She went home, applied for a work visa, and the rest is history.
Since then, she has made Vancouver and the Sea to Sky corridor her home, spending the winter skiing and the summers hiking and camping.
When she’s not enjoying the great outdoors, Marianna loves to dance, cook, create, and, of course, travel!.
What is your favorite place in Canada?
The Sea to Sky Corridor. Even after living there for four years, I still think it’s the most beautiful place in the world. From amazing hiking in Squamish to world-class skiing and biking in Whistler and beautiful farmland in Pemberton, there is always something new to discover.
What is your best travel memory in Canada?
Visiting the Toronto Islands on a sunny fall day. Far fewer people than there would be in the summer months, yet still warm enough to enjoy the sandy beaches and dip your feet in the water, which made this Aussie very happy!
What one thing in Canada should you experience at least once in your life?
Spotting some of Canada’s unique wildlife. You don’t need to travel far to see whales, bears, eagles and deer, and it makes for a truly thrilling experience. Just make sure to respect the animals and keep a safe distance.
