This trip went over 2 Months, i drove 17.500 Kilometers, visited 5 Provinces (Canada), 16 States (USA), 26 Cities, a couple of Provincial-/National Parks and a lot of awesome people! It was overall an insane time i don't ever want to miss. If anyone ever had the thought if such a trip is worth it, yes it is! You get to know yourself better and you appreciate freedom a bit more.

Unvergessliches Abenteuer im Prince Albert Nationalpark!
Die erste Etappe auf meinem Trip quer durch Kanada war der Prince Albert Nationalpark. Leider lief nichts alles wie geplant und die Stimmung war nicht die Beste
Prince Albert National Park
Some nice hiking trails but mostly forest flatland. Wouldn't recommend to drive up here if you are not in the near area anyway.

Das erste Highlight auf der Reise, Saskatoon
Saskatoon in Saskatchewan ist eine Stadt, die meines Erachtens Großstadt mit ruhigem Gemeindeleben verbindet. Eine Reise wert, wenn man in der Nähe ist.
View from Broadway Bridge
The "city of bridges". You get a nice view from the Broadway Bridge on the Marriott Hotel!
Kiwanis Memorial Park
Nice little park to walk along the South Saskatchewan River. Really nice atmosphere in summer times.
Western Development Museum
One of the four Western Development Museums. This one tells the Saskatchewan story from the beginning of settlement to the present.

Moose Jaw, eine Perle im Nichts von Saskatchewan.
Ein Abstecher nach Moose Jaw war ursprünglich nicht geplant. Doch die Reise dorthin hat sich gelohnt! Definitiv eine Empfehlung, solltet ihr in der Gegend sein.
Western Development Museum
One of the four Western Development Museums. This one is all about the history of transportation in Saskatoon. Definitely worth a visit!
Tunnels of Moose Jaw
The tunnels is an attraction about the history of Moose Jaw. You can either choose to her about Chinese immigrants or Al Capone. Would give it a go
Moose Jaw - Saskatechwan
I don't know why but i fell in love with this little town. It was beautiful in the summer times and had an awesome atmosphere. Not much to do tho.

Regina, die Hauptstadt Saskatchewans
Ein Abstecher in die Hauptstadt Saskatchewans, Regina. Die Reise hier her, falls ihr euch fragt, ob diese sich lohnt, lohnt sich nicht. Regina war enttäuschend.
Regina city center
Sadly not worth a visit. If you think about taking a stop here, don't. Nothing to see and the city is not beautiful at all.

Work and Travel Kanada - viel Sonne in Winnipeg, Manitoba!
In WInnipeg hat uns die Sonne mehr als verwöhnt! Nach einem ereignisreichen Aufenthalt mussten wir unsere weitere Route ändern und flexibel sein.
Winnipeg Museum for Human Rights
Worth a visit when you are in Winnipeg. Each floor has it's own topic about Canadas history of Human Rights.

Not like the MLB but watching some local sports and getting some stadium food is always a good idea!
Legislative Building
Stunning Legislative Building of Manitoba with a nice little park where you can relax a little bit.

The city has a lot of nature surrounding. Especially in the summer you can enjoy a lot of outdoor activities. Watch out tho, lots of mosquitoes!!!

New York Yankees (MLB)
Guess there is nothing more domestic than watching a Yankees' game when you are in New York. Crazy expensive to get drinks and food tho.
View from Empire Statue Building
You should go up before a little bit before the sun goes down so you can enjoy the day view and the night view.
M&M's world
Don't think there is anything to say about the time square or the surrounding area. Always a good time to just sit down and enjoy the moment.
Statue of Liberty
Cruise to the statue of liberty and Ellis Island. Always crazy busy but kind of a must do when you visit New York. Stunning view on the city.

View on the city from Mont Royal
You can find the Mont Royal in the heart of the city. Really nice when you go up to watch the sunset or just enjoy the view on the city. Kinda busy
Mount Royal Cross
It is basically just a huge cross in the middle of nowhere so if you are already on the mountain you can walk to it. If not, don't.
Kathedrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde
Even if you are not interested in religion, the architecture of the building is worth a visit!

Rue du Petit Champlain
Such a beautiful little area with lots of restaurants and small shops. A must go in Quebec City!
Quebec City Centre
No words needed. Quebec city is by far the most beautiful city in Canada! When you are travelling the east side you need to spend some time there!
Jeanne d'Arc Garden
The whole surrounding area is stunning. The nature and the view over the water is besides the city itself one of the most beautiful things there.
