Being a poor college student, I don't get many chances to travel to a lot of different places, let alone outside the country. So when spring break came around, my roommate and I decided to save our money and take a trip to Canada instead of Florida or the Bahamas. We booked the hotel and drove six hours to the border, plus an additional two hours to get to our main destination: Toronto. Let me first say this, Toronto is SO much bigger than I could have ever imagined; I basically felt like I was in the Canadian version of New York City. Also, I would highly recommend not bringing your car and either flying or busing because Toronto's parking situation is absolutely atrocious and you'll end up cutting off your right arm just to pay for the ridiculous daily rates at parking meters and the lots. But once you empty your pockets of all the Canadian currency that you don't have, go check out the Tim Horton's, which I don't have anywhere near Maryland but their donuts are to die for, and a little cafe called Second Cup. This little place has the best dang cup of coffee that I've tasted, and it's cheaper and cuter than Starbucks (sorry guys, I still love you, though!). But when you're not eating, which is really hard because that's honestly all I found myself doing, I would highly suggest walking everywhere. You get a much better look at the entire city, you find hidden little places to shop in or buy food, and you really embrace the Toronto lifestyle as a whole. It's an amazing and beautiful city that should be at the top of everyone's travel list because it is totally and utterly worth the trip.
