Discover Ottawa through Dave and Deb's eyes

Globe-trotting nomads Dave and Deb have been sharing useful travel advice and beautiful imagery on their award-winning blog since 2007. The Ontario-based couple complement their written work with entertaining videos of their experiences. They’re passionate about getting immersed in a destination’s culture and energy, which is why they often visit Ottawa during Winterlude for snow and ice fun, and in the summer for water activities. They love the many tasty options in the Byward Market area and having cocktails and gourmet hot dogs at Tavern on the Falls overlooking the Ottawa River.
