Toronto is a city that’s very special to me: back in 2004, when I was studying translation, I had the chance to go and live there for a year as an exchange student. My campus was in North York, a very elegant northern Toronto neighborhood where some of the most extravagant houses are built for the rich and famous. The main pavilion of the campus was itself an old and romantic manoir with a rose garden and a small forest surrounding it – exceptional for a location so close to downtown. While I was living in a humble dorm room, I was surrounded by beautiful places to visit, restaurants to try and shops to spend my money in.

Over the next years, E and I went back to Toronto regularly, for good time’s sakes but also because we grew to really love the city. This year, my ex-associate and very good friend Melanie and her family moved to a Western Toronto suburb so I took the opportunity to book a visit to the Queen City.
