Canada Travel Podcast with Nathan Beaulieu

Travelling in Canada means learning to read distance differently. The country is enormous, and almost everyone lives in a narrow band close to the United States border, so the landscape shifts from city to empty boreal forest without warning. The show follows Nathan Beaulieu as he moves through this geography slowly, settling somewhere long enough to understand how that place actually works. The host moves from the old port of Montreal to the river valley in Saskatoon, from the Rocky Mountain foothills near Calgary to the fishing stages of Bonavista, Newfoundland. He also spends time in Ottawa, the capital, where winter freezes the canal and summer brings a different kind of quiet. Each stop is connected by the route he takes to the next one. Seasons are the real clock. The same street in Ottawa appears under brown maple leaves and then under March slush, and a place he left in one state is a different place when he comes back. That slow return is how the show works: knowing somewhere properly takes months, not a stopover. Nathan Beaulieu lives in Canada and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Nathan is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?
