Everything I knew about Toronto I learned from HGTV. But a recent long weekend in the Eastern Canadian mecca of nearly 3 million helped me beef up my knowledge and spark a new urban crush. And given the U.S. election results, Drake’s hometown is looking better every day. A place of casual sophistication, Toronto just encourages free thinking, free moving and free learning.
A mix of modern and vintage, it’s like New York only smaller, cleaner, more friendly and more accessible. Over the course of three days I walked a dozen miles and experienced this city from the ground up, finding inspiration and opportunities for reflection at every turn. Check out my favorite views of Toronto, one of my new favorite cities.
