Travel tips and cool things to do in Toronto
Welcome to my hometown! When I’m not travelling the world, you’ll find me in Toronto, enjoying this multi-cultural city’s great arts festivals, museums, parks and food. I’m always excited to share with visitors the best of what I know so this is where you’ll find all my blog posts for cool things to do in Toronto solo, where to stay,off-the-beaten path experiences, where to sauna, and more.
In 2024, a Forbes report called Toronto the 3rd safety city for tourists in the world. As a single woman, I generally feel safe out and about alone in Toronto. But use your common sense, trust your gut and the same safety precautions you would anywhere. (And if you need safety travel tips, I wrote a whole book!)
