I’ve written a lot about my girls’ trips, and quite a few have been with my girl, Lindsay. Together, we’d explored Laval, Oka, Canandaigua, Lanaudière-Mauricie, and every time we go, I’m reminded how good these escapes are for the soul. There’s something about having that one friend who knows your secrets, goes on emotional hikes with you, and shows up for the laughs, the coffee, and the chaos. She’s my ride-or-die travel buddy, and every trip together feels like a reset. This time, we took on the Tap and Cork Route in the Pontiac Region of Quebec, and tacked on some extra fun along the way.
