First time backpacker here, any advice?

Question

Planning to visit Canada and am really excited but have never backpacked before so if there are any experienced backpackers out there maybe you can share your knowledge and wisdom with a first timer. Any do's and don'ts you could share?

If you're visiting Canada, you simply have to check out Toronto. It's not typically a backpacker's place, but it's the world's most multicultural city, with a small town atmosphere in a big metropolis setting. Backpackers can visit on the cheap, by staying at hostels, and at many cultural restaurants from which to each. Even if you're not into museums and galleries (the "cultured" places), backpackers can still sightsee, travel to Niagara Falls, and just take in the "feeling" of life from the people of Toronto.
