After staying a month and a half with Saira, Syed and the kids i can truly say they have been the highlight of my trip out to Canada. Their warm family atmosphere made me feel like one of the family as soon as I arrived. We shared some great times, making pizza, playing board games, scavenger hunts + fun days out ! Their house is always full of laughter, i'm so appreciative of Saira and Syed for welcoming me into their home. Days off were super flexible, I went to Victoria, whale watching and local trails. I'm really going to miss this family, they will hold a space in my heart - safe travels!
