I'd love to see NZ, probably not move there as my family is here, but
I'd love to visit. New Zealand is at least in the realm of possibility
one day.. maybe... unlike Canada (which I'd also love to see).

Northern Ontario, on the shore of Lake Superior or Lake Huron, is awesome. There are other parts that are also, I am sure, but those are the only
parts so far that I am familiar with. :)

I would love to see NZ also but the plane ride (and costs) would pretty much make it a no go.

I remember when I was driving from Muskoka to Calgary the sights from Thunder Bay to the Manitoba border were amazing. I have a picture of me on a shore of Lake Superior from that trip. Really make you appreciate just how big Ontario is.

We were warned to watch for moose once the sun went down and boy were they right. Driving along Hwy 1 and suddenly the forests looks like a Scooby Doo cartoon with all the eyes you could see looking back at you.

Side Note: That was the only speeding we got on the whole trip was along that route. They have some sneaky hiding spots along there.

One day I need to travel West from TB. As of now, I have only traveled
North and East from there. :)

LOL, that was the one thing I was disappointed with regarding that trip (as well as another trip through the UP of Michigan)... I was hoping to see wildlife like moose that I cannot see here in the wild at home. Instead
all I saw was deer, wild turkeys, and some remarkably nonaggressive Canada geese. And lots of squirrels.

I did get to see some baby wild turkeys, which I've not see here before,
and some birds that are not seen here, so it was not a complete
disappointment. And, of course, the one early morning I decided to go
hiking alone I did not run into any bear, which was good! :O :D

Being a foreigner, I did not want to do too much speeding. I figured they would catch me and then revoke my rights to visit. :( I would like to be
able to go back and see more. Every time I reached a passing siding, I
took to it quick so that all the speedy Canadians could get on by me. :)

It's also a reminder to occasionally be a tourist in your own area.
Which I should definitely do here, though COVID still makes various aspects harder. But I've still taken photos of the impressive looking churches and other old buildings.

One thing this pandemic has made me appreciate is travel. I always try to
take a lot of photos but have been a little frustrated when something
happens while I am driving and I cannot safely get a photo of it.

So, I now own an action camera that I can mount on the dash. The next time
my path is crossed by a wild turkey family, I will hopefully have some
decent footage of it. :)

I have also been planning a lot of trips I want to take over the coming
years. I would like to see more of my nation before I get too old. My
area is pretty, especially in spring and autumn, but there is a lot more to
see out there!
