Banff xoxo

Dear Banff,

You don't know me. I am more of a secret admirer.

I have picked up your travel book in Barnes and Noble, only to put it down for a more "glamorous" / European option. I admit, I was taken in by the other books. Their promises of the Mediterranean Sea, warm sun, and rolling green hills. I don't know why, but at the time I didn't take you seriously because you're like... Canada.

Now, before any of my Canadian-loving readers get offended, I must state how truly wrong I was to overlook this hidden gem. Sometimes I take for granted all the beauty that is over here on this side of the pond; Canada and United States alike.

Anyway, upon further research, I find that I may not be able to stay away too much longer. I feel I am right on the cusp of traveling to your beautiful and awe-inspiring location before you are exploited and over-publicized. I mean, I know you are popular amongst more imaginative travelers than I. After all, I had to have heard about you, Banff, from someone or some website - but I feel that you are still elusive to the general public

(yeah, I just classified myself as a superior traveler. what are you going to do about it?) :)

So Banff.

Why must I cross the border into your super welcoming country with your super handsome president?

For that, I must refer to pictures that I have NOT taken (aka rely on internet photos, which I try to avoid like the plague) :

I paid for both these photos, so take them in dammit.

I meeeeeeean...

The mountains are calling and I must answer, you know?

So, yeah.

I'm going.

I just need to figure out when and how, but those are only small inconveniences.

No biggie.

Again, sorry Banff, for being initially dismissive of your gem of an adventure. I promise to commit an upcoming excursion to you and only you. It looks like you have a lot to offer, so I am really excited.

And hopefully this love letter also makes up for me judging you for being Canadian.

I love Canada, eh?

And Drake.

Skål xx
