I came here from Quebec City in 2015 not knowing a single person. No favourite spots, no go-to coffee order, no sense of the city at all. What I found was a place that rewards curiosity, one neighbourhood at a time, one recommendation at a time, one "you have to try this" moment at a time.

Calgary gets over 330 days of sunshine a year. That's not just a fun fact. It shapes the people, the pace, and the way the city feels to live in. Optimistic, outdoorsy, and genuinely warm.

A decade in, Calgary feels less like where I ended up and more like where I was always supposed to land. This page is my way of sharing that with you before you even arrive.
