Final Word: Which Destination Has The Best Canadians?

There are many things that are instantly familiar to the frequent world explorer, like souvenir stands, orange tiled buildings, and dogs with really fat nipples. But there’s one travel inevitability that anyone who’s ever ventured further than their backyard will recognize: Canadians.

These fixtures of of the travel world can be found in every museum, hostel and UNESCO site from Quebec to Queensland. We’ve all encountered countless of these inquisitive world ambassadors of joviality, but the question remains: which travel destination has the best Canadians? Of course it depends on what you’re looking for, but we’ve compiled a list below to help you decide where to journey to find the Canadian that’s right for you.

Barcelona

If you’re looking for a more stylish and hip Canadian, this is the city for you. Chic fashion, trendy haristyles, and a slight air of dismissiveness when they ask you if they can help you with your bags, these are the Canadians you’ll want to introduce to your friends back home to get a reaction. Who knows, after your stay in this Catalan capital you might even be one of those people who comes home and pronounces the city “Barc-Eh?-lona”.

Rio De Janeiro

This bustling seaside metropolis boasts some of the most exotic Canadians on earth, and that’s saying a lot if you’ve been to Can”ada”cun. If you like your Canadians with an appetite for the wild, a knack for surfing, and some serious ability on the dance floor (which they’ll refer to, adorably, as the “New Friend Platform”), the Marvelous city is one you’ll go “loonie” for.

Costa Rica

If you’re looking for a more eco-conscious, biodiverse Canadian, look no further than the verdant jungles of Costa Rica. Book a Canadian-watching tour or set off on your own to see these beauties in a stunning environment. Keep an eye out for their distinctive markings (a polo tucked into khaki shorts) and be sure to listen for their unmistakable call (openly discussing when Drake will host SNL next). Take photos all you want, but keep in mind that Costa Rican Canadians are protected and poaching is punishable by a lengthy penalty box sentence.

Canada

There’s nothing quite like the genuine article. Like water fresh from a spring in the Swiss alps, or a cold bag of milk from the grocery store, the Canadians in Canada are a crisp, refreshing, vitamin-B-rich blend of civility and outgoingness. True, they lack some of the exciting flourishes of other further-flung Canadian variants, but the mold had to be made somewhere. There’s nothing wrong with flipping the radio to the oldies station now and again.

Everyone will have their personal favorite, but it’s really hard to go wrong! And you can always rest easy knowing that regardless of where you decide to go, there will be Canadians there. And they’ll stand on guard for you.
