British Columbia is the western-most province of Canada, it borders the province of Alberta to the East, the territory of Yukon to the North, the U.S states of Washington and Idaho to the South, the Pacific Coast to the West - and the U.S state of Alaska to the Northwest.

British Columbia has been a travel destination since the gold rush of the 1850's, and British Columbia can still be viewed today as the world's goldmine for scenery, panoramic views, and the beautiful, natural landscapes and widespread, diverse wildlife.

Accommodation in B.C ranges from couch-surfing (which is an excellent way of meeting local people who know a lot about the area), hostels - for meeting some international travellers, bed and breakfast establishments - for the family touch, and everything from a basic hotel right up to five-star luxury hotels.
