GREAT PARK QUEST

ABOUT THE BLOG

The Quest

I’m Brigitte. I seek adventure, I love to travel, and I’m always looking for a new challenge. Over the years, I’ve travelled the world and am now focusing on my own beautiful country: Canada. My most recent quest: to visit Canada’s 47 National Parks before 2027! I invite you to join me as I plan for my travels, learn about our parks and explore Canada’s natural treasures. It’s going to be a great adventure!
