I'm Tiana, 25 years old and live in Vancouver, BC. I was born and raised in Toronto and moved out on a whim 2 years ago and it was the best decision ever!

* My first solo trip was when I was 21 and travelled around Europe for 3.5 months. Since then 90% of my trips are solo and it's a great chance to meet others!
* I went vegetarian 4 years ago but now i'd consider myself more of a pescatarian 
* I have the biggest sweet tooth, I will never turn down dessert 
* I work for an insurance company but I went to school for tourism and hospitality
* I used to be a city girl but now I find the most peace when hiking in mountains 

Now it's your turn, let's hear a fun fact! πŸ₯°

When I moved to Vancouver 2 years ago, hannah pick When I moved to Vancouver 2 years ago, hannah picked me up from the airport and one of our first conversations in the uber to my new home was doing the hike to Panorama Ridge. I told her that it has been on my list for a while and I definitely wanted to do it next summer. As summer quickly approached I soon came to realize I was not in the physical or mental shape to do the hike of summer 2021 despite getting permits for 2 weekends in a row. 
This year, I was determined to try and hike every weekend in the summer to get my body ready for what I knew would be the hardest hike I would do to date. The first week of August we set out with a renewed optimism and confidence of doing this together. 
Let me tell you, 30kms of hiking with an elevation of 1,600m is no joke. It was tough, by the end our legs and feet were in agony. 
As I descended that last switch back to the parking lot, I had tears in my eyes. I finished this epic hike that looked so far out of reach last summer. 
This is all to say that if you have a dream, all you need is practice and a hell of a lot of determination to see it through πŸ™ŒπŸ» You got this!!

Top Graffiti Places to Visit in Toronto

I have lived in Toronto my whole life and we have a really cool graffiti scene downtown. I’m not sure why it took so long for me to go explore all the amazing work around the city. I’m going to show you where to go to see the top 5 graffiti places in Toronto to up your Instagram game!

graffiti places in Toronto
  • Rush Lane

The most popular place in Toronto to see interesting art is Graffiti Alley. Located just West of Queen and Spadina, this lane way is filled with colorful art. It is definitely a highlight of things to do when visiting Toronto. The Queen West neighborhood is a cool district with lots of cool cafes and vintage shops. You can spend hours wandering around, it’s one of my favourite places!

art murals in toronto

  • 408 Queen Street West

On the side of the Cameron house on Queen Street West you will come across the bright mural above. There are 2 side by side and one is right side up and the other is up side down. The story behind this mural is that the artist back in the 1980’s spent his days at the Cameron house after getting evicted from his apartment and on one sunny afternoon he said to himself “This is paradise”.

  • 474 Richmond Street West

Right off of graffiti alley we came across this new mural that was painted recently by the hair studio “Love is in the Hair”. This art is all about positivity and love and it definitely brought a smile to my face.

Toronto we don't take naps mural

  • 101 Spadina Ave

If you want to see some cool 3-D graffiti and enjoy a delicious coffee while you’re at it than Strange Love Coffee is the place. On the outside wall of the coffee shop you will find the Toronto sign and underneath it says “we don’t take naps”. I’m not sure what that’s about since I definitely take naps! If you visit when they are open be sure to ask them!

All you need is love mural in Toronto
Angel Wings at Calii Love in Toronto
  • 367 King Street West

A great place toΒ enjoy a poke bowl, smoothie and some pretty artwork is Calii Love on King Street. On the outside of their store they have 5 different artworks you can take photos with. Here you will find the very popular wings that are blowing up all over social media!

I hope you find this guide helpful to find all the best graffiti places in Toronto and if you discover any more be sure to let me know, happy exploring!
