Canada

snow on cars

I have been in Canada for almost 3 years, but it feels like more than five years of experience. In the beginning, I could not imagine how beautiful and cold this country could be. I came in fall, the most beautiful season. I love how the leaves on the trees change colours and the weather is chilly and comfortable. My family and I enjoy going up north a lot because I think there is so much beauty and magic. When I saw and felt the snow in winter, it was so magical because I had just seen the snow in movies, and I needed to feel and see the snow in person.

My wife is from Canada, but she does not like snow, cold and winter. It is difficult to make plans in the winter with her because I know when it is too cold, she says no. Sometimes she just tries to do some activities in the cold to spend time with her family. I love snowstorms, and freezing rain is my favourite. I love hiking with my son and my dogs and feeling the snow under my shoes. I do not like to skate too much, but I love skiing. I can’t believe how many animals I can see in the winter. It is as if they are having a party everywhere. Spring is not my one of my favourite seasons, but I can have some fun days as well. Everyone loves summer, but for me, it is not very interesting because in my country, it is summer all year long, and I hate hot weather. More than 25 degrees is just too much for me.

In conclusion, I love all the beautiful seasons in Canada. They are magical for me because in my country we don’t have all four seasons.
