A big right of passage for many recent graduates, high school or university, is a trip across Europe. The big appeal of the iconic backpacking trip is the ease of travel between countries thanks to the EU and the EuroRail.
Young Canadians now have that opportunity right in their own backyard with a new option from Via Rail offering unlimited travel across Canada for 60 consecutive days.

Some perks of the EuroRail-like pass include free wifi on the trains, outlets to charge your gadgets and an increase in the baggage limit. Passengers can now bring two large bags of 50 pounds each so pack all the shoes you want.
The offer is valid for 60 consecutive days between May 1 and August 31, 2019.
