This episode is about Toronto, Canada.

See Book A for addressing this challenge.

Find it on the website​​ at 5StepsToSoloTravel.com or on Amazon. It's a several-part series.

Toronto is another example of Step 3 travel, advanced solo travel. Other step 3 destinations in my Part B book include Banff, Whistler, and Vancouver.

 

Destination Deep‑Dive

Today's special destination is: 

Toronto, Canada, part two of two

 

You may arrive at Pearson airport, like I did, which was a lovely airport ranked high among international airports. I had the opportunity to experience the Priority Pass lounge both upon arrival and departure. If you have access, you'll likely enjoy it, even though the lounge was under construction. The city has a diverse mix of people from all around the world, along with a variety of flavors that come with it. Keep your eyes peeled and your nose smelling these scents.

 

Before I arrived, I booked my tour to Niagara Falls. Here are a few facts about Niagara Falls and why you might find it of interest

I registered in my hostel, got all of my bedding, food, and bag storage set up, and then took a nap since I had been up since about 5 AM. Afterward, I went down to the CN Tower, where there was almost no line late in the afternoon.  

 

Smart Move and Slip-up pairings

 

 So here I was in Toronto, and believe it or not, I lost my phone for the second time. Here's what happened. I went for a swim at the local community pool and changed back into my street clothes. I left the phone in the changing room at the pool. About 30 minutes after getting home, I realized I had left it there. So I went back and got it, but there was a little bit of panic in my life, so this was the end of my trip of 90 days, and I wasn't really as concerned as I would've been at the beginning of the journey, but it was concerning that I let my defenses down. I slipped up twice within a few days. Don't do what I did; keep your focus on the things that are most important to you. For me, that was my phone and my passport.

Where are you going? Let me know if I helped you travel.
