Stretching from coast to coast, the Trans-Canada Highway stitches together the vast landscapes of Canada. But it’s the British Columbia section that truly shines brightest. Take your time to drive this route: six days is ideal.

Day 1: Vancouver

The adventure begins in Vancouver, a playground for outdoor activities, with mountains, beaches and forests just moments from its urban core. Cycle the 6.6-mile seawall of Stanley Park—on one side you’ll have ancient rainforest; on the other, tall modern buildings reflect in the waters of the Burrard Inlet and English Bay.

Day 2: Fraser Valley

For the countryside appeal of the Fraser Valley, schedule a stop at Singletree Winery in Abbotsford, a family-owned property specializing in cool-climate wines. For lunch, try Restaurant 62 nearby, which features local food. Drive to Hope, and on arrival, film fans might recognize the picturesque small town as the backdrop in the movie Rambo: First Blood.

Day 3: Lytton

In the town of Lytton, you can tackle the water flowing very fast with Kumsheen Rafting Resort. Don’t miss the Lytton Chinese History Museum, recently rebuilt after a 2021 wildfire, which offers a deep dive into the vital contributions of early Chinese settlers to BC.

Day 4: Kamloops

Steep canyons (陡峭的峡谷) flatten out on the two-hour drive to Kamloops, known for its independent galleries. Don’t miss the Kamloopa Powwow, a summer celebration of native culture, music and dance.

Day 5: Revelstoke

Here, a local businessman spent decades painstakingly relocating abandoned buildings from the frontier era to create his own ghost town museum. Don’t miss the Nels Nelsen ski jump statue in Mount Revelstoke National Park, which shows respect to Canada’s winter sports athletes.

Day 6: Golden

Saving the best for last, the highway cuts a path through the greatness of Glacier National Park. Golden, a tiny town with big attractions, delivers an amazing finish. Feel your heart race by stepping onto the Golden Skybridge, Canada’s highest suspension bridge. Drive to the Meadows in the Sky Parkway, where springtime fields of flowering lupins and forget-me-nots explode in various colors.

After moving house for the 11th time, Barbara Iweins decided to take stock of her life—and everything in it.

Going from room to room, Iweins spent almost five years documenting every single object she owns, from loose Lego bricks and old key chains to remote controls and kitchen utensils. The resulting 12,795 images offer a true portrait of the Belgian photographer. All of the images were posted on social media and many users liked those images a lot.

While photographing her possessions, Iweins categorized them by color, material and the frequency with which they were used (from once a day to never). Her project provided plenty of insights, both surprising and amusing. Blue is the dominant color in her house accounting for 16% of all items, while 12% of her clothes are black. Of the items in her bathroom, 43% are made from plastic. Some 90% of the cables in her house are never used, and 19% of her books remain unread.

And while often ordinary, individual objects contain the stories of her life: The old novel she took from her father’s library when she was 16, the hospital bracelet she wore when giving birth. Over the years, Iweins spent an average of 15 hours a week on the project.
