What to Do and Where to Stay in Quebec with Kids

If you’re keeping up with our travel vlogs, then you know that we walked and ate our way through Montreal. Well just after Montreal, we hopped on a train to Quebec and started our adventure there! The train was really the first adventure. I’m convinced it’s one of the easiest ways to travel with a bunch of young kids. I’d first learned about this fun way to travel through Canada from Anthony Bourdain. His episodes on Montreal and Quebec were some of my favorites, so we took inspiration from him throughout our trip.

The Three Pillars of Business Copy with Zimmerman's In-House Copywriter

Between Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and my website, I share about my business on a ton of platforms. I have a system that keeps it from being too much, but I know 99% of my students feel overwhelmed by the thought of keeping up with their businesses on every platform. It can feel complicated and time-consuming until you strip away all the excess, “best practices,” and algorithm hacking and realize that your purpose, regardless of the platform, couldn’t be clearer: to communicate who you are and what you do. It’s that simple!
