About RoadTripAcrossCanada.ca
Hi there! I’m Emilie — your road trip-planning bestie.
I’m the founder of RoadTripAcrossCanada.ca and LoveLifeAbroad.com, and I’m obsessed with helping families plan unforgettable adventures across Canada.
As a family travel expert (and a total road trip lover), I focus on helping women and moms (because, let’s be honest, we are usually the family planners) plan stress-free, fun-filled road trips with their families.
With my two boys, I’ve been road-tripping across Canada since they were babies. I’ve done the research, made the mistakes, and found the hidden gems — now I’m here to share it all with you. My goal? To help you spend less time planning and more time making memories with my ready-to-go, detailed itineraries.
Why I Started This Website
Born and raised in Quebec (yup, I’m a proud French-Canadian), I married an anglophone, and together we’ve lived in Canada, the USA, and France.
In 2020, we sold almost everything to travel the world — but life had other plans 🤒. With just a few belongings left and a car fully packed, we hit the road and drove across Canada for the very first time. What started as a temporary trip turned into a life-changing adventure, as we ended up settling in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies (where we still live today!).
That cross-country journey made me realize how much I wanted to help other families experience Canada — without the overwhelming task of planning everything from scratch. And so, RoadTripAcrossCanada.ca was born.
What You’ll Find Here
This website is all about travelling across Canada and exploring our incredible country, whether you’re planning:
✅ An epic cross-country road trip
✅ A weekend city getaway
✅ A deep dive into Western Canada & the Rockies (my specialty!)
While I create content for all types of travellers, I always have families in mind. So you won’t see a lot of 10-km hikes or fancy Michelin restaurants here — just practical, family-friendly tips, itineraries, and real advice that works when you have kids in tow.
Why Trust Me?
I’m not just a blogger — I’m a born and raised Canadian who’s actually driven across the country multiple times (including one wild trip solo with my two kids). I’ve even taken the legendary train ride from Toronto to Vancouver.
On top of that, I work as a travel writer and content creator for destinations across Canada, which means the places I recommend are ones I’ve actually visited with my family. Real stories, real experiences — no generic lists here.
Fun fact: Before jumping into the tourism world, I was a Mechanical Engineer working as a machine safety officer. So, yes — my itineraries are safe, tested, and mom-approved. 😜
What Matters to Me
🌍 Sustainability — I love encouraging slow travel, supporting local, and choosing eco-friendly options when possible.
👨👩👧👦 Family Connection — I believe travel isn’t just about the places you visit, but the moments you create together.
🚗 Adventure for All — You don’t need a huge budget or perfect plans — you just need a sense of adventure and a willingness to hit the road.
