Why Less Can Be More

The most memorable trips often come from doing fewer things — not more.

Slower travel lets you:

• Spend real time in one place

• Discover spots locals actually love

• Travel without fighting traffic, lineups, or packed itineraries

Ontario’s strength isn’t just its landmarks — it’s the space between them.

When you slow down, you start noticing:

• Morning light on a quiet lake

• Small cafés that don’t advertise

• Trails that don’t trend — but stay with you

This is travel that restores, not exhausts.

Hidden Ontario: The Places You Don’t Find by Accident

Some of Ontario’s most memorable places don’t appear on “Top 10” lists.

They’re found down side roads, along quiet shorelines, in towns where the café owner still asks how your day is going — and where the best moments aren’t planned, they’re noticed.

This guide is about discovering hidden Ontario — places that don’t advertise loudly, but leave a lasting impression.

At MyFavs, we focus on places people actually return to — not because they’re famous, but because they feel right.

Local discoveries. Quiet favourites. Travel worth slowing down for

This guide is about traveling differently:

• Choosing timing over trends

• Experience over checklists

• Local insight over crowded highlights

At MyFavs, we don’t promote travel because it’s popular — we highlight places because they feel right.

Choosing Places by Season, Not Popularity

The same destination can feel completely different depending on when you go.

Instead of chasing peak season, consider:

• Spring for quiet hikes, waterfalls, and reopening towns

• Summer for local lakes, festivals, and day trips

• Fall for colour drives, cozy towns, and slower weekends

• Winter for cabins, snow-covered trails, and peaceful escapes

Seasonal travel lets you experience Ontario as it’s meant to be — not as it’s marketed.

At MyFavs, we curate destinations with seasonality in mind, so places feel special — not overrun.

Timing Changes Everything

Local Recommendations Matter

Most travel guides are driven by ads, promotions, or algorithms.

MyFavs works differently.

We feature places that:

• Are recommended by locals

• Have character, care, and consistency

• Feel personal, not transactional

We don’t sell rankings.
We don’t auction visibility.
And we don’t accept payment for placement.

If a place is featured, it’s because we’d confidently recommend it to friends or family.

That’s the difference.

Why We Don’t Use Sponsored Lists

Travel That Supports Communities

Travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about who you support along the way.

Choosing local experiences helps:

• Small businesses thrive year-round

• Communities preserve their identity

• Travel remain sustainable and meaningful

From independent inns to family-run outfitters, Ontario’s best experiences are often built by people who care deeply about where they live.

Travel this way doesn’t just feel better — it does better.
