Mark Lorenzo – My Discovery of Canada My story with Canada began in 2007, when I, a young journalist from Milan, received an unexpected offer to cover an international film festival in Toronto. A trip that was planned for just two weeks completely changed my life. Canada amazed me at first sight – boundless expanses, an amazing combination of nature and urbanism, people speaking different languages but united by some special, elusive Canadian spirit. After the festival, I decided to stay for another month, hitchhiking from Ontario to Quebec. Returning to Europe, I couldn't think about anything other than Canada. After six months, I quit my job, gathered my savings and returned, this time with a work visa. I started with a simple job as a guide for European tourists in Vancouver, gradually exploring the country far and wide. Today, after 16 years of living between two continents, I am considered one of the leading experts on Canada. I conduct signature tours of little-known routes, consult businesspeople planning to invest in the Canadian economy, and run a popular blog about life in this amazing country. From the icy expanses of the Yukon to the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, from multicultural Toronto to French-speaking Montreal – every corner of Canada holds its own stories, which I gladly share with everyone who dreams of discovering this country.

The national currency of Canada is the Canadian dollar (CAD). Below is an online calculator that you can use to calculate the value of the Canadian dollar in relation to the US dollar (USD).
