Canadian Tire Road Trip Essentials Giveaway
I love road trips of all kinds, whether it’s taking off to the Sunshine Coast for a night on a weekend or packing up and heading east to chase sunrises over the Rockies. Great tunes on the radio, snacks in the console, windows down, photo ops in the review mirror, spotting wildlife, playing eye-spy with road signs, and most of all getting to a place that’s anywhere but home.
