Edmonton Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Our trip across the endless prairie continued today. We headed west and went around the city of Regina and headed north toward Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. FYI: I consider this to be the best named city ever. We visited the Western Development Museum, which is a weird name for basically a museum about when the settlers came west. It's really odd loo...

I got off the train, said goodbye to Beth and started out on my own again.  I had slept through the whole night with a couple of brief interruptions.  Quickly to diverge from the topic, a piece of advice I have found on my trip.  Even if you want to travel by yourself across Canada there will be times when you will travel with someone else.  It ...

Surprised at the flat terrain--mostly small rolling hills and all farmland. The high was 49--brrrrrrr!
Spent 2 nights in Edmonton. Heard so much about the Edmonton Mall that we had to see it. The water park was huge with multiple heights of slides and a wave pool. There is also an ice rink, replica of the Santa Maria, an amusement park and e...

It's 9:42 on a beautiful sunny Edmonton morning and I'm sitting in bed, laptop in its proper position, drinking coffee and getting this damn blog set up. I'm thinking maybe I should get up and start to pack, given I must leave in less than three hours. Ah what the hell, I'm mostly ready. I'm only going for three months. I'll finish this coffee f...

The Hostel was quite big and had an activity on every night which we tried to participate in just to get to know some more people-which we did!! It took us 2 days to l...

Hey everyone! I thought I'd set up a blog for some updates on my travels over the coming summer to save me from having to send out mass e-mails every few days. The countdown is on! I only have three more exams in my first year of University, and in just 10 days Laura and I will be flying out to London! We're going to spend a few days there, then...

this morning i drove my mum to the airport. such a surreal experience, after all these years, to finally be the one staying put. the one who has regular everyday plans like hair appointments and lunch dates that extend past the departure date. seeing the view from the other side of the security gate glass, as someone you love places their carefu...

So this can be the official "start" to my adventure really; the booking of my plane ticket. My pass to the outside. I don't mean to sound like I feel caged here, by any means (cause to be truthful, home right now has never been so comforting to me) but still, out of Canada we'll say. Here's the itinerary thus far, according to major flights: Nov...
