However, sometimes all it takes is an outsider's perspective to remind us what makes Ontario worth exploring. Last week, a European tourist shared their spontaneous travel story across Ontario on Reddit, amassing dozens of comments and upvotes. While visiting Barrie, which the tourist chose to visit simply for its proximity to lakes on the map, they reached out for last-minute travel suggestions north of Toronto. The thread was met with an outpouring of local tips from Ontario residents who were excited to help the visitor make the most of their extended trip. The thread, which amassed over 200 upvotes, asked Toronto residents how they "cope" with weekend traffic, noting that the congestion was "the worst" they've seen anywhere.
