FML Adventures is a Canadian tour company that offers a wide range of tours between Halifax to Vancouver, which is tailored towards 19-35 year old backpackers. The trips are for people who want to experience the best of Canada’s forests, mountains, and lakes from coast to coast.

Lisa and Alex speak about how her trip last year went, some of her favourite hidden gems in Canada off the tourist track, and how she's pivoting during the pandemic to offer shorter trips to local wineries around Southern Ontario. Enjoy!
