Bon Matin Reader,
Today I am talking about one of my favorite cities in the world, Montreal, QC, Canada.
But first, I want to flash back to about a year ago. A WhatsApp text group was busy with back-and-forths about an upcoming trip to Italy. A group of us Americans and Canadians were excited to get together and celebrate a friend's 50th. Houses in remote Italian towns were being booked, wine tastings and tours were getting reserved, and I had already started to think about what I was going to pack. (Yes, I am this person.)
Using points, we booked portions of our flights, and then new opportunities to add days to our trip had us celebrate another friend’s birthday in London and my birthday in Montreal—stitching together business class tickets along the way.
(Find out how I was able to do this)
This newsletter kicks off the trip that took us from Canada to England, then on to Italy, and finally Denmark.
Stop 1: Montreal
Montreal was never a city I thought about before I started dating a Canadian, and after I visited, I thought about all the things I had been missing all my life.
It isn’t just poutine and the best bagels on earth. It's something else. It's a pedestrian city that is full of life and late nights. There are a few cities I think I could relocate to, and Montreal tops that list. (If only the winter weren’t so long.)
I ❤️ Montreal so much. I could go on for days about how great the public transportation is, how phenomenal the food and wine are, and how European it feels.
If you are planning a trip to Montreal this year, please contact me. I have tons of recommendations.
