From serene vistas to encounters with wildlife, starkly contrasted with the hustle and bustle of city life, Whelan perfectly showcases this great country.
For Canadian viewers, there's an inherent excitement in seeing Whelan approach one's hometown, bringing the journey closer to home and making the narrative even more relatable.
