    Toronto was my home for two years when I was a student, and I fell in love with everything about it – even its winter. You’d be amazed at how the cold can grow on you.

    Must-do

    How could I not mention Niagara Falls ? They’re so overwhelming in size and sound, you simply must experience them in person.

    I recommend taking a boat cruise along the Niagara River – this will get you as close as possible to the falls. As you can imagine, you get pretty wet, so it’s a good idea to wear a raincoat.

    The Niagara region is also known for its icewine. I usually stop by a winery for a tasting tour on my way to the falls. I can pick up some bottles as souvenirs for friends and family, in addition to getting some Dutch courage from a glass or two before getting on the cruise.

    Korea Food in Toronto

    Must-eat

    The dining scene in downtown Toronto is very international, making it easy to find authentic Korean food whenever I’m craving it. The tteokbokki, or spicy Korean rice cake, from popular restaurant chain Sinjeon , is my personal favourite, as it’s perfect for warming you up. I love pairing tteokbokki with icewine: one is spicy and warm while the other is sweet and cold. Together they’re irresistible.

    Must-pack

    In Toronto’s chilly winters, a travel tumbler can prove very versatile. Plus, I like to think that if I’m holding my tumbler instead of having my hands in my pockets, I’m always ready to catch myself if I happen to slip on an icy street.
