'The Next Step' star Victoria Baldesarra says there's no place like home, in Canada

'No matter where I've travelled in the world, there's no place like Canada.'' Victoria Baldesarra from 'The Next Step' says Canada is the only place to call home.

'We're so lucky to live in this beautiful country.'

Victoria Baldesarra has traveled around the globe, but for the 18-year-old star of The Next Step, there's no place like home.

Coming from a family of first generation Canadians, Baldesarra feels nothing but pride for this vast and diverse country. She and her family even visit the nation's capital to celebrate Canada Day every year.
