I suppose, I should’ve warned young Harin! There are two kinds of people in this world. One who are not afraid to explore the unknown and the other who plans and organizes their every move. I embarked on one such journey, yet again, with a quest for a better life into the unknown, to the Land of Opportunities: The Great White North - Canada! My Canadian journey started earlier this decade, in 2011 and this roller-coaster of a journey still continues to surprise me with all its highs and lows, scholarships and graduation, total acceptances to silly rejections, joys and heartbreaks to love and deceit, making new friends and enduring challenges of an explorer escaping the mundane. What else could a nomad do? Be resilient, look back in the eye, shrug off the challenges, smile and continue to walk forward in your journey of life, exploring work opportunities as means to travel? Few people are blessed to plan and organize their trips on a, not so limited, budget. However, millennial's born and raised outside the northern hemisphere, especially coming in from the supposedly poor “third world” countries, usually are left to count their blessings; blessings to travel to Canada, lucky to have escaped ‘n’ number of challenges and with promises of a lifetime journey. Canada is not just the land of opportunities, but a destination of Choice. Choosing the antithesis, POTUS, a little south to the Canadian borders, certainly made this journey to the promised land simpler for young millennial's around the globe, in search of work life balance, better lives for their kids and for some, to earn means to live, travel and celebrate the quality of life. Canada is one of the largest countries and its coast to coast beauty, is envied around the world and source of pride for everyday Canadians, just like its Maple Syrup and Ice Hockey. The feel of 4 weathers in a day (at least in some parts of Canada), the tranquil Pacific Ocean waters, panoramic ski friendly Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, the vast untamed landscapes of Yukon with northern lights and Igloo’s of the North-West Territories certainly makes this journey enticing! The chilly, sunny, ski scenic sunrises of Calgary are craved for by skiers, the power of water and abundant wind turbines shaping the landscapes of northern Alberta, with Jasper National Park of northern Alberta as its epicenter are adored by the homebodies, wanting an escape into the wilderness. Canada’s multiculturalism and Toronto’s “PRIDE” and being home to natural wonder of Niagara Falls and its regions’ unique “Ice Wine” epitomizes everything Canada. Add a weekend getaway exploring the iconic European architectures of Quebec City and Montreal reminds of royalty. The authentic medieval France experience in the Acadian provinces of New Brunswick and the Magnetic “Magic” Hill and walking on the Atlantic Ocean floor is an experience of a lifetime. Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island has tons of natural beauty as they continue to embrace diversity. Newfoundland and Labrador is a country in itself with St John’s as the gateway to Northern America and one of the most historical cities of the Western hemisphere. In these past 9 years I got to live, work and play in Canada with its diverse, multicultural and liberal approach of exploring a true global society. As I sit and write this on the holy Lhukw’lhukw’ayten territory of indigenous people, where the bark gets peeled in spring, is the Squamish place name for the area “Burnaby mountain” in mainland Vancouver, I’m reminiscing my Canadian journey. Earning a diploma, winning multiple scholarships, volunteering 2000+ hours learning skills and making friends, teaching toddlers in a school, young adults at a community college, learning Canadian history from baby boomers and seniors at hospitals. It has been one life-changing trip – purpose of most millennial travels? It gives me immense strength and hope to continue to step forward into the unknown, writing this article, impressing, maybe enticing readers, with a wish to also get an opportunity, resources and most importantly, a visa, Oh to explore the beauty that is Canada! Maybe an opportunity to tell them, there are usually two kinds of people: One ventures into the unknown, and the other plans.
