MOVING TO CANADA
All about moving to Toronto, studying at Schulich and exploring the country
In 2019 I moved to Canada to study in the IMBA program at the Schulich School of Business. Relocating has been a journey of many ups and downs that I’ve put together in this section, to offer information, experience, and hope to anyone who is making the decision to move countries.
Read on, for a student’s perspective on life in Canada, working your way into an incredible job and stories from travels and trials in this fair country.
Stumbling Around The World
Hi! I’m Nikita Butalia:)
Let’s Stumble Around The World Together
Welcome to Stumbling Around Delhi! I’m Nikita Butalia and you’re about to join my journey of discovery that began around my home city of New Delhi but ended up around the world. A passion for travel and endless wanderlust led to a massive appetite for travel that’s never satiated since. Here’s to inspiration from sunsets, mountain tops and late night city lights. Happy reading!

The one thing I said before driving to Blue Mountain for my birthday was “I’ll do anything as long as it’s not a hike”
Welllll we hiked. But it was downhill and I loved every bit of it!
If you’re interested in a mini-hike at Blue Mountain, just take the gondola to the top of the hill and choose the “Cascade” hike (you’ll find it on the map) - it’s downhill and you’d be waking along a stream 🌿

We cut my birthday cake on the beach in Collingwood 😍 (anyone see a random person’s legs in the background? 😂)
So lucky to have an incredible bunch of friends who went above & beyond to make my birthday a big hit! 💕
Shoutout to @mommyliubakes for this beautiful piece of art that tasted sooo damn incredible! 😍 Love supporting small businesses, specially those who create something this beautiful. If you live in Toronto & need a custom cake - they are truly exceptional! 😊

📍Colonel Samuel Smith Park: Bike trail, picnic by the water, a view of the Toronto skyline, glowing orange sunset and a bunch of fun individuals para sailing in the distance 😍
Nowhere to go this summer, so we’re exploring parks around the city 🌳

There’s something so cozy about small town cottages hidden behind manicured trees. One of my fav things to do at Niagara-on-the-Lake: admire other peoples’ houses & add them to my “one day” wish list ♥️🤪

What’s the most underrated spot you’ve visited in Toronto so far?
This one’s mine - it’s a tiny creek along a trail in Etobicoke. Imagine having such a beautiful spot in the middle of the city, barely a 5 min walk from the nearest parking. Toronto you’re full of surprises!

Weekend hike at Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, an hour’s drive from #NorthYork.
The drive through #Ontario countryside was so beautiful and the towns of Orangeville and Mono are so cute!
It was the only place we could visit without a reservation, so it’s ideal for spur of the moment plans.
The leaves haven’t returned to the trees yet, so visiting a couple weeks later might make the experience a lot more scenic.
Difficulty level: Zero. Felt like a walk in the park (quite literally).

Dreamy cocktail hour ☁️ Heart goes out to Toronto’s small businesses, who’ve had to invest in so much infrastructure in order to comply with changing government safety requirements. And after all that, they’ve had to shut down again within days of reopening. Tiny note to #supportlocal wherever possible & help keep them afloat ♥️

Drove to Etobicoke Lakeshore last weekend for a picnic in the sun. Couldn’t believe how accessible the lake was; barely populated, located right next to a patch of bright green gardens and swans floating by (no joke) in close proximity.
There’s nooo spot in the city that’s as ideal for a sunset walk as this one. And in such a cozy neighbourhood too!
