How To Road Trip Across Canada Safely | My Drive From Toronto to Calgary

In this weeks video, I am sharing my personal experience and advice on how I safely made a road trip from Toronto to Calgary within Canada. I completed this road trip back in Oct 2020 with my sister. Prior to departing Toronto, we came up with a few strategies how to reduce the potential of an accident occurring along the trip. We made multiple stops in between from Toronto - Sault St Marie - Thunder Bay - Winnipeg - Moose Jaw - Calgary.
Best of luck to anyone that is planning a future road trip or move!

[@tasneembohra6239]

Hi Frank, did you carry any separate GPS/Navigation system ? Were you getting strong signals for Google Maps from your provider ? What would you recommend , we are planning to move to Calgary in August end. (with a baby :) )

[@FrankHuynh]

Hey! Just used Google maps on my phone - the periods where there were no signal is super short so I wouldn’t be too concern about that. There’s offline map download too I think!

[@tasneembohra6239]

@@FrankHuynh thank you ! And which provider you recommend ?

[@jessicacadenahuynh]

[@FrankHuynh]

Wow! Nice

[@mvincent1206]

I am planning a road trip from tor onto to Calgary in the coming Summer. I will be going with my wife but she does not have a driving licence. Is it too ambitious if i am the only one to drive for such a long trip? Which month is the best to start the trip? Can you give me some reference for all the stops from Toronto to Calgary? Thanks!

[@FrankHuynh]

Depends on person. I would say for an average person it’s a little bit of long drive that I personally wouldn’t want to do alone. Honestly I just took the trans Canada the whole day and tried to stop at every Costco that was about 3 hours away to fill up and break. Best month would be fall because of the colour of leaves changing and it won’t be too hot or any snow on road.

[@noniemousze]

Hello there! Im planning to do a long drive from Toronto to Saskatoon. I am just curious what route did you use, and where are the points you stopped for rest/gasoline. I am a solo female, so Infos about safest rest stops would really help! Thanksss!!! ✨✨✨

[@FrankHuynh]

Hey! i just used my phone GPS and followed the trans canada highway

[@glorian5732]

Not sure if you've already taken your trip, but the 2 of us drove from Toronto to Edmonton and split driving. Our first leg was to Thunder Bay, and we stayed at Days Inn and Suites by Wyndham Thunder Bay. This is a 15hr drive, if you're driving alone you may want to stop at Sault St Marie like the vid suggests. As far as gas stations, they pop up pretty often and signs will tell you. Second leg we drove another 15hrs to Moose Jaw and was a very plain drive. Less gas stations, and they may look like they're closed when they're not (just no heavy traffic) so we filled up basically every time it got close to half.

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

Gonna be doing Calgary to NS soon...

[@FrankHuynh]

nice drive safe man

[@GagandeepSingh-kc3gf]

Montreal to Calgary is it possible with uhaul?

[@FrankHuynh]

Probably, but sounds like quite a drive. And to manage all of it sounds stressful to me at least :/

[@EdMens]

👍great, I made this trip 5yrs ago and never went back. Hit me up

[@FrankHuynh]

That's awesome!
