First time seeing your channel.. love seeing my country through someone else’s eyes. Good job with the historical info as well. East coast is known for its hospitality and friendliness. Hope that continues for you as you venture to the West. Safe travels, and welcome...bienvenue! 😊🇨🇦
Thank you! I know we'll find it hard to match the warm and friendliness of the Maritimes, you guys are one of a kind and it's a special place. We miss it already 💛
Welcome to Nova Scotia guys!! I'm from Manchester, moved to Canada 10 years ago, fell in love with Nova Scotia and I'm still here with my wife and our dog!! Enjoy your adventure!!
Happy Sunday! ✨ We are SO happy to be back filming and most of all, to be out in Canada, at the start of this road trip we've been dreaming of. Hope you enjoy this one, here's to new adventures! 🥳 🚐💨
Nova Scotian native here, a good way to reduce your food costs is to buy at grocery stores (Costco giving great deals) the markup at most eating establishments is making it increasingly difficult to travel efficiently across all the Atlantic provinces along with many other factors to include because of the inflating economy.
Welcome to Nova Scotia! I just found your channel but, will be subscribing!. Please watch for ticks, especially in taller grass and shrubs. Always do a tick check at the end of a hike on you and your doggo to help avoid contracting Lyme Disease.
Thanks so much Donald! And welcome! 🥳 Yes, we know how bad the ticks can be here and check the dogs, and ourselves, every day. They also have strong flea and tick tablets too 💛
Literally was hoping someone else had given the tick heads up already, I live in St. Margaret's Bay and the ticks are next level. Glad the fur children are protected. Enjoy Canada it is a stunning place, hope you see the beaches of PEI and the Mountains out west 💜
Ee thank you! Shame we're on opposite ends of the country but I'm sure the road trip gods will look down on us once again! Sending hugs and love to you both xx 🐾
My husband and I started watching your videos a few weeks ago. I had to do a double take when the title said Nova Scotia. We live in Cape Breton Island! Welcome!!
Love the new intro! Sorry to hear about your dad he will be proud of you for what you have achieved! Good to see you all back on the road, safe travels!
Loved the video, and loved even more that you were watching our video whilst eating lol, video inception!! Miss you guys so much 🥰🥰 loves seeing Martha and Sophia in the drone shots 😍😍 can't wait to see what's to come! And loved the wee slick outtro shot zooming out 👌👌
First time watching. You have a new subscriber. Welcome to Canada. Funny enough, I was just in Halifax helping my parents downsize. I live on the west coast of Canada now, but my parents lived in Boutilier's Point on St. Margaret's Bay for over 30 years. It is renowned for the legendary fog. My parents are originally from South Hampton. They are 89 now and have been together since they were 15. Moved to Canada in 56 after my dad had been stationed in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan with the RAF. I do hope you fall in love with our country as much as they did.
Aw I love seeing others visit our beautiful province! Such a lovely video. You've wonderfully captured the beauty Nova Scotia has to offer. Excited to see the rest of your adventure!
So glad I found your channel. I am a retired community nurse and I had the Peggy’s Cove Loop route visiting my patients many years ago. It’s one of the most beautiful places and I enjoyed the people and living in that province. I still live in Atlantic Canada (Newfoundland) which has it’s own unique beauty and history that is tied to South West England, Ireland and France back in the 1600’s and 1700’s through the cod fishery, trading in the West Indies for Rum molasses and sugar. I have discovered that many of my father’s line came from Devon. Because of the really high temperatures we have been experiencing this summer, sunny and 27 with a feel like or heat index of 35, and the fact that no matter where you go in the Maritimes you are not too far from a beach or a body of water, you will experience “The Fog” 😊. It usually burns off during the day with the sunshine. I hope you get to experience many of the delicacies of the Maritimes. Seafood is king. The chowders, lobster rolls, deep fried clams and many restaurants bake their own bread and dinner rolls. Lunnenberg was a place a friend and I would go for the day and visit all the craft shops and wander the streets, Chester and Mahone Bay also were favourite haunts of mine. Long before the hit tv show on The History channel, Oak Island was a mystery to all of us. There was a run down Inn that over looked Oak Island and several times I would sit in the parking lot and wonder where that pirate treasure was located. So happy to learn that you are enjoying your visit to my area of Canada, the east coast. My siblings and I grew up in New Brunswick and I hop you will also enjoy that province just as much. Have safe travels and enjoy.
Sorry I'm so late replying to this! We really would have loved to come to Newfoundland, but realised we would be in a rush. So we decided to come back when we can give it the time it deserves. Do you know where in Devon your father's line is from? Ben is from Plymouth and my dad's family go back to both Ireland and Devon, as far back as the 1500s! We had the best time in the Maritimes... such an underrated but incredibly beautiful part of the world with so much to offer! The food, the landscape, and don't get us started on the people 💛 We miss it already and we've been gone less than a week! xx
I just found your channel and after a brief overview and peak at my home, Nova Scotia, immediately subscribed. My wife and two girls, (13&16), have made it a part of each summer to explore a new part of Nova Scotia. It has so much coastline as you are likely learning. We really feel this MUST be one of the most beautiful parts of the Earth and there is still so much to sea! I feel the very shape of this piece of land as seen on a map or google Earth puts it even up there with Italy and the like. I'm happy and proud you both love it and hope you find it exceptionally clean and friendly. Not sure how long you are staying but if you have any questions or if we can help you while you are here, please let us know. We live in Dartmouth which was its own city across the bridges from Halifax until we all became a municipality a few years back. Love your dogs and digg your crib. By the way, Cape Breton Island is a whole different level of beauty and friendliness. The Cabot trail drive is simply beyond anything you will read about it or see in picture or video! Enjoy....look forward to following you. I follow several sailing channels but this is my first land one.
This is amazing! NS really is incredible, we've only seen the tiniest bit but agree with everything you say. The coastline is so intricate you could spend a lifetime exploring all the hidden coves and bays. And yes, it's SO clean! The people are incredibly friendly and it's just a joy to be here. The perfect place to start our big road trip 💛 We're making a figure-of-8 loop around the province and will of course be heading to Cape Breton, can't miss it! We also love sailing channels 😋 Who knows if a boat is on the cards one day... Sending love to you and your family, hope you enjoy the videos!
@@OverlandingSophia Thanx for a wonderful reply. I loved your new video today. My family and I were in the Yarmouth to Digby area same time you were and I had not seen so much fog as thoes few days on that coast! Rest assured your trip around your figure 8 shouldn't be as bad....I hope. Enjoy your stay....please drive defensively and cautiously.
The Cabot Trail isvery scenic to travel. Looking for the small roads that go inland on the trail which are usually gravel get you to some nice lakes and one to a waterfall to park at. those are the roads that we tend to see moose on. The park covers a bigslice of the trail but there is a campground if you need to pay for whatever reason on the top road at the North ed
So, so happy to see you two kids on the road in Canada!; (I live vicariously through you, you see). Really looking forward to understanding the financial side of a trip like yours - great idea. Happy, happy travels and stay safe!
Welcome to Canada! You should visit the lighthouse at the Masstown Market, it's not actually on the water, but it's a full blown lighthouse. And they have the best fish 'n chips in Nova Scotia. From there, a great trip is along the coast to Advocate. There are several lighthouses along there too. Cape Sharp, and Cape D'Or come to mind. And it's a great windy road, like the Cabot Trail but fewer people. Have a great trip!
So lovely to see you all back. I hope your wonderful adventure helps you grieve for your father, Sophia. Such a difficult time for you. Canada is a wonderful country. I lived in Alberta for 7 years. And yes the Canadians can be very friendly … sometimes too friendly. One took a liking to my husband and before I knew it, that was the end of my marriage!
Thanks so much Clare. He would be so proud of this trip and I know he's with us 🤍 Oh my, not the best experience for you! But I say good riddance! 😆 I'm sure you're now onto bigger and better things! 💕
This is the first video I have watched of your channel, and I really enjoyed it. We live on the south shore, and I would recommend as a dog owner, you go to a vets and have your dogs put on the proper medicine for heartworm, which they can get from the mosquitoes, and and a yearly shot and monthly medicine for the ticks. The ticks are just as bad in Ontario too, so please consider it, as it will help keep you all safe!
so good to see you've made it to Canada after a emotional couple of months.and really looking forward to watching this epic adventure. Canada is on my bucket.
I might have already said, If you can get 100% jungle deet, that is very good. It is what we relied on in the Amazon rain forest, Kenya, and several other countries. We used deet wipes, sprays and ankle and wrist bands. Good to see you back and to see the dogs.
Good to see you back in my favourite format! Everything sounds so exciting, this trip is going to be so epic. Please keep your narration over such beautiful views, I really love when you give additional info that way. Anyway this video was a good and fresh start for this adventure, good to see the doggos as well. 😂🐶 Missed and love you xx Jenny 💕
Jenny!! Hello! No plans to remove the narration just yet, I'm glad you appreciate it 🥰 Fresh videos, fresh adventures... hope you're strapped in tight for the ride 😃 Sending the biggest hug and all our love 💕 Hope you're having a wonderful, magic filled summer xx
Your impression of Canada will constantly change. Yes, it is huge, and you will find it is very different as you travel. As a Canadian who has visited many of these places it is great to revisit them with you.
Yes! Even driving from NS to NB felt completely different. The landscape, the houses. Can only imagine what it must be like driving across the whole country 💛

Welcome to Canada, glad you, the dogs and the van seem to have made it all in one piece. Just found your channel so catching up with some of your past adventures as well as the beginning of this one. Hope you get to make it out to western Canada, I'm just outside Vancouver and the scenery here is fantastic too. Again, welcome and safe travels.
Thanks so much Martin, and welcome to the channel! Hope you enjoy the catch up 🤗 We're hoping to make it out to Western Canada next year after we've done a loop of the States! xx
I have just recently come across your channel through researching our own potential overlanding journey. You are both so down to earth and a breath of fresh air to watch. Really enjoying your videos. Best of luck and keep up the great work!
Stunning scenery already. Great to see you back on the road. Wishing you exciting and safe travels ahead! We’re looking forward to following your journey 💛
Welcome to Canada! Hope you enjoy your trip. I am in Ontario but my brother had traveled east to Nova Scotia and fell in love with Truro in Nova Scotia. He said the waterfall there was amazingly beautiful. Hope you make your way there. Happy travels!!!
Hi there! Welcome to 🇨🇦 and to Halifax. I am from Halifax, born and raised. I am excited to find you. What a Fabulous thing you two are doing! Exciting! Safe travels, Iook forward to watching all of your posts. I have been across Canada from Mile one in Newfoundland to Mile one in Victoria, Vancouver Island British Columbia. I'm sure you will love all you see, do and the people you meet. Wishing you both all the Best! Cheers! 🤗❤️
Susan this comment made us smile so much! Thank you for the warm welcome to Nova Scotia. So far we love it here. Halifax was awesome by the way, such a cool city! Can't wait to see what else Canada has in store for us 🤗 💛
Welcome to Canada. I love the Maritimes, some of my best childhood vacations were spent there. My Dad towed our 20 foot caravan from the Southern most city in Ontario with stops all along the way.
Just found your channel... love it ! Heading to NS in a couple of weeks so thank you for all the cool info and video. Will be watching you on your journey... safe travels.
So great to see you guys back, and so super stoked to watch this journey unfold!! 🌟 the reel with your reunion with the hounds over on insta had us welling up!! enjoy guys x
Thanks so much guys, that reunion was the biggest relief! On both sides! Avidly watching your renovations, looks like you guys are doing amazing things. Give Crusoe a cuddle from me. Sending love 💛 xx
New subscriber from Nova Scotia. So glad you popped up on my screen. Enjoy your Canadian travels 💕…I think someone else may have mentioned ticks. Good to do a tick check nightly, they are nasty things. If you get a chance, where you’re going after Lunenburg - the valley. You’ll notice homes have carts with fresh veg at the end of their driveways with cans to pop a few dollars in. Direct from farmer and cheaper than the grocery store
Thank you so much for the wonderful recommendations and the kind words 💛 Nothing beats farm fresh veg! Will keep an eye out but we're far from Lunenburg/south coast now.. currently on he Bay of Fundy!
New subscriber here - your channel just came up in my feed. First, I’m sorry for your loss. I’m glad you’re here to enjoy our wonderful country, I hope our beautiful landscape helps you on your healing journey. While the obvious tourist locations are great, please enjoy the wonderful off the beaten path hospitality our country has to offer ✌️❤️🇨🇦
Hellooo from NE Alberta Canada, try Absorbing Jr. For the bites. It works great to alleviate the itch and swelling from mosquitoes! Love the history you provide in your episode. Just joined your channel! Safe travels!
So glad to see you back, I've missed you guys. What is the amazing music playing at the beginning what the fab driving beat? I'm really interested in the cost breakdown. I love the little villages with the colourful clap board walls. Wow the fog is awesome, so is the countryside, trees for as far as you can see. I'm so looking forward to your travels. Stay safe love Sue and Bryn xx
Thanks so much Sue! I can't remember the song off the top of my head but I'll find it for you 💛 The houses here are beautiful, likes something from a film! Such a beautiful part of the world, can't wait to show you more of it. Sending much love to you and Bryn xx
I just discovered your channel and subscribed. I live a 5 minute drive from the lighthouse in Baccaro. I grew up on an island with the tallest lighthouse in Eastern Canada which is located approximately 20 km west of Baccaro across the water. My father and both my grandfather's were lighthouse keepers. I still have a small off grid very simple cabin on that island.
Wow, that was fun to watch, so much packed into 20 minutes! Have followed for the last 30 months or so, Europe & Turkey were superb, but Canada looks like another level up and you've only just got started. Quality viewing, thankyou!
Well this made us smile, thank you so much for the kind words! Amazing you've been with us on all those adventures, and now you're here for the biggest one yet! 💛
Honestly I feel for you, I lost my mum on 31st May. My condolences, getting away to Canada is a great way to jsut be with your thoughts and feels. My Healing has come from taking my van and just being into the middle of no where. Sending love!! Glad you made it to Canada safely, Ive not been able to watch your content consistency but I like to check in when I can!
Hello my love! I'm so sorry to hear you lost your mum this year, sending you so much love as you heal through the grief 💞 I've also found being in the van has been medicine for the soul. It keeps me busy, but also gets me out in nature and it's just me and my little family to look out for, so we can be in our own little bubble. Sending you a big hug! xx 🤗 xx
I think the worst thing of grief is loneliness. I’ve been ok with being alone. But when you lose a loved one it just sinks in. Thank you for your comment response and you have the best set up supported by loved ones human or animal form and yay you made it to Canada x
Hey! Just found this video and I’m loving it! I’m from Nova Scotia (Halifax) and am really enjoying your perspective as a tourist. What great footage! I giggled a bit at your experience with the foghorn. I love falling asleep to that sound, but I guess it doesn’t have the same lulling effect when you’re up close and personal 🤣. At some point during your travels around the province, you must listen to a sea shanty called “Farewell To Nova Scotia”.. it’s a classic! Welcome to our little corner of Canada 🇨🇦❤️! I’m so proud to call it home 🥰.
Listening to it now as I reply to this, it's awesome! I love folk music. One side of my family go back to Galway in Ireland for generations and somewhere along the bloodline, I got passed a love for Celtic folk music especially 🍀 Can imagine listening to this in a pub on a cold winters night with a storm raging 🌊 I also liked the sound of the fog horn! It's a haunting sound.. Ben was going a bit mad with it though 😆
@@OverlandingSophia Nova Scotia is very rich culturally and with that comes a lot of Celtic folk music! Once you begin to near Cape Breton, you’ll notice that Scottish heritage dominates. (Also noteworthy are Acadian and First Nations influences).
For a true Nova Scotia pub song “Barrett’s Privateers” by Stan Rogers is really the classic of all classics. He’s literally a folk music hero here! You can go to any pub, request this song, and they will happily play it for you! People can be easily encouraged to sing along. I dare you to try it 😂.
@@OverlandingSophia Thanks for the video. I met a doctor working in Newfoundland who was originally from Dublin, Ireland. He told me that the people of Newfoundland were more Irish than he was! If you get to that province you'll enjoy a great culture of folk music and a great sense of humour. One band that has a long history there is 'Buddy Wasisname And The Other Fellers'. Another songwriter there is Ron Hynes who wrote and sang "Sonny's Dream". You might enjoy their music. Another folk music/country music hero from eastern Canada is Stompin' Tom Connors who hitchhiked and worked all across Canada, writing his songs about the places he saw and people he met. He was a major musical influence on many musicians in Canada; song examples: "The Hockey Song", "Sudbury Saturday Night", "Bud The Spud" (a song about PEI). Gordon Lightfoot wrote "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald", a true story of a ship sinking in Lake Superior (although, I think my favourite song of his is "If You Could Read My Mind"). Any songs by Stan Rogers are great, especially "The Mary Ellen Carter" ( I heard an interview with a sailor who had his ship sink at sea and he kept thinking the lyrics to this song as he was treading water, waiting to be rescued). You may be too late in the summer to attend the many folk music festivals across the country but you may find some in Ontario. When you reach Alberta you need to listen to "Someday Soon" by Ian and Sylvia. And if you reach Vancouver, B.C. "Summer Wages" by Ian Tyson. Here is a link to an animation of "The Blackfly Song" by Wade Hemsworth ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f389hIxZAOc.html and "The Logdrivers Waltz" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-upsZZ2s3xv8.html The NFB (National Film Board Of Canada) is a national treasure and you will find historical and contemporary film of Canadians and Canadian stories and animated entertainment.
I'm envious. I always wanted to do a Nova Scotia and Maritimes tour. I did get to Halifax and Peggy's Cove years ago on a train trip but never got to do a long tour and now that I'm 80, likely never will. I'll just have to do it vicariously following you.
Welcome to Canada Nova Scotia I grew up a mile from Peggy's Cove in Indian Harbour. After getting married I moved to Lunenburg County and have been here for 30 years. Just came across your channel today. Enjoy your visit.
Welcome to Canada! I wanted to share some mosquito repellent tips. For me the most effective repellent is a good strong bug spray, you want to make sure it has deet in it. You can find good ones at Canadian Tire, Walmart, Home Depot or amazon of course. There are bug/tick repellents for your furry child you may want to look into. Thermacells may be of interest to you as well but if there is a breeze, which there often is on the east coast, they may not work. Those can be found at the retailers mentioned above. Safe Travels! Youve got a new subscriber
Hello! Thanks so much for these recommendations. I did have a DEET bug spray, two in fact, that didn't work at all on those monsters. But since leaving St Margarets Bay I haven't been bitten! We are looking at getting a Thermacell though, think that would be a good back up. Thanks again for the tips, and hope you enjoy the videos. Welcome! 🥳
@@OverlandingSophia If you're looking for something to help post-bite, After-Bite (liquid roller) has been my go to as someone from the East Coast. It stops the itch almost immediately.
If somehow you ever come back this way to Lunenburg county, please consider checking out the Lahave River Ferry. It is a "cable ferry" and only a few dollars to take your vehicle across. Then consider Crescent beach which is only 5 to 7 km from the western side of the river, but on the ocean. That beach you can drive your van out onto and park for the whole day right on the water, along with many other people going there daily. Another beach to check out on the Eastern Side of the river but on the ocean is Hirtles Beach. Big waves and surfing usually at Hirtles. Also, about 55 km west from Lunenburg is a place called White Point Beach Resort. You can camp there with your camper right on or near the ocean. There is a great indoor resort there with a fancy restaurant, a bar with a one man band usually playing, and the bar also serves finger foods...and fish and chips. The waves are big at White point as well. The resort bar and restaurant is right on the ocean. If you are out on the deck, the waves are crashing onto the rocks below you. You can rent surf boards there and all the gear you need. Kayaks etc. are also available.
@@OverlandingSophia Might not exactly be on your way to Maine, but if you wouldn't mind a little detour, Fundy Trail Parkway is gorgeous and will bring you to St.Martin's sea caves which is also stunning. (And a nice place to park overnight to get early access to the caves) 😉
Thanks for a good video. Went over to NS to see relatives who live near Peggys Cove. Prior to that we went to PEI, to see a relative of my wife. Look out for the mud on PEI, when I retuned our hire car back at Halifax airport. One of the staff said "See you have been to PEI" as the car was coverd in red mud.
Not sure if you are aware, many years ago there was an horrific airliner crash in Peggy's Cove. My friend was a flight attendant and was called upon to support the families of those lost at sea in the crash. The people of the community rallied round them and did their best to house the families. It was so tragic and sad.
Well done you! As both a Canadian traveler who now lives in NS thanks. You did a lovely job. I can recommend 2 things for your travels: 1st double check for tics after your hikes always! and as for the mosquito bites, I have a much better solution than your ice cloth for the itch. Take a spoon pour boiling water (or as hot as you can handle without burning your skin) on it and then use the back side of the spoon to rub on the sites. It causes an endorphic reaction and sends healing cells to the area and no itch.. truly works everytime. I learned that while living in Ecuador for 8 years. Enjoy your journey.
Thank you SO much for the mozzie bite tip! I started using it when I had a couple of bites and the itch just disappeared! 🤩 Will forever be using that method!
Brilliant to see u guys back man. I follow a couple from Canada called vanwives who have just moved into a cabin from van life..cant wait to follow this trip
So funny...your video just popped up in my suggestions! I saw your van parked there by the ball field and wondered what your story was and here you are! I drove to Peggy's that day but it was too crowded...you were smart to go later! My niece is working on Bluenose this summer...nice to see it in your video 😊 Looking forward to watching your videos. Welcome to Nova Scotia!
Omg we love this!! Can't believe you saw us and then our video popped up - such a small world eh 💛 So cool that your niece is going to work on the Bluenose too! Next thing we'll be showing up at your work 😆
The woman waving you through at the 4-way stop sign is just SO Nova Scotia haha great video, I hope you got a glimpse of Cape Breton before leaving NS!
Welcome to beautiful Nova Scotia! I had a good chuckle over your mosquito saga (sorry I commiserate with you entirety), but the ticks are what you need to be watching out for, especially on your dogs.
This is so cool! I just came across your channel! I am from Nova Scotia (born and raised) and it is so interesting to see it from an outsiders point of view and you do your videos so well!
Great video, and I am impressed that you could sleep by the fog horn! Looking forward to following your trip through Canada. If you need any camping areas in New Brunswick just reach out. One clear view of the Bay of Fundy makes all the fog worth it. Enjoy!
I found it quite relaxing actually! In a weird way. It was driving Ben crazy though 😂 We’ve just had a quick trip through New Brunswick. Wish we could have stayed longer but what we saw was incredible 😍😍
Lovely to see you both back and the furries! Chesca, I saw your post on Facebook; I'm so sorry to hear the sad news of your Dad. My Mum passed away a year ago and I know how it hurts. Looks to be a spectacular start to your travels - love the lighthouses and stories that you're sharing. Sending love, Jane x
So sorry to hear about your mum Jane, sending you the biggest hug ❤️ Being back on the road is very healing, Canada has been a really beautiful place to start the adventure after what's happened. Friendly people, beautiful landscapes, van friendly, can't ask for much more 🤗 xxx
One of the many places I haven’t visited yet in Nova Scotia is the national park, Kejimkujik, which has ancient petroglyphs and is a national historic site for the Mi’qmaq people who were there for thousands of years before the Acadians.
Yay!!! welcome back guys. Loved this as always. Your descriptions are just beautiful Chesca. Got a little teary watching the Bluenose stuff too! Cant wait for next time x
Welcome to my beautiful province. I hope you enjoyed your visit. A dab of rubbing alcohol really helps to reduce the itch caused by fly/ mosquito bites.
I’m a voracious watcher of travel vlogs, so I don’t know how I’ve managed to miss your channel. And now you’re in my country! Love your style…subscribed.
I was trying to listen to you talking in the van.... But River sitting beside you was the draw.. Her expressions looking out, then glancing at you.. was so cool... So gorgeous. What I remember from hitchhiking to Nova Scotia many decades ago and staying a couple of nights with a family and to be polite having to go to mass with them on a Sunday.. The mass was in Irish. I'm Irish and had no idea that they spoke Irish there. It was the weirdest discovery! So sorry about the loss of your dad. I understand though about the special time and feeling around the time of his death that you describe. I felt similar experiences around my own dad's death.
Ah she steals the show doesn't she! Those eyes look into your soul 😂 What a cool and strange experience for you in NS! I know up near Cape Breton there's a really strong Irish culture here still 🍀 Thank you for sharing that about your dad too, I'm sorry you've also had to go through the loss. It's a tough one ❤️ Sending love xx
I grew up in Cape Breton Membertou and have a sibling in Peggy’s cove I just recently moved to florida 3 weeks ago, my home land is a beautiful place cheers guys
If you're still in Nova Scotia and out in nature, please be careful of ticks! It's always the first thing I see when I see people exploring the woods and tall grass, lol.
Thanks April! We're aware of the tick issue here and check the dogs, and us regularly! We also have a tick identifier so we know if it's the lyme disease carrying ones or not, the pups also have strong flea and tick tablets from Bravecto, so hopefully we will all be safe 💛
Thank you Alicia ❤️ It's been a tough time but coming out the other side now. Ready for some new horizons! How are you guys? Sounds like you've had some amazing trips in the camper! xx
Welcome to NS, Off the beaten path a little which is nice to see. Theres some beautiful beaches around Bacaro, Clarks Harbor, Yarmouth...nice white sand, with freezing water,lol.Fresh fish,Atlantic lobster, scallops are always around the Tri Counties.A local Acadian dish,"rappie pie" may be something you might want to try, especially if you get in the Clare area. Less mosquitos in the valley, less fog to. Safe travels.
Hello! Thank you for the warm welcome and the great suggestions. We stayed at a beach near Yarmouth... Bartlett's beach - so beautiful! Definitely need to try scallops while we're in Digby and will try and find somewhere that does a good Rappie Pie! 💛
What an awesome adventure. Welcome to Canada and to Nova Scotia, my home province. I'm now subscribed and will be watching your progress, to Argentina you say? Well done on the video and editing, etc. PS: get yourself a lot of bug spray ... some of it actually works. :) Cheers!!
Hey guys just found the channel and I love it. My wife and I and then the kids would travel to Nova Scotia every second year. My wife's family lives there in Glace Bay Cape Breton. I hope to follow you across Canada unless I get on the road myself. Hahahaha. Cheers 😘
Thanks for visiting our province. We live just 45 minutes west of Bacarro in a fishing village called West Pubnico Ouest, where you were last on the South Shore. Most of the residents are Acadiens, descendants of French settlers from the 17th and 18th centuries. Your weather observations are bang on. We like to say we have 2 seasons in this small part of Canada; fog (in the warmer times) and mud (when it’s cooler), both seasons highly influenced by the Gulf (of Mexico) Stream. Bon voyage et bonnes rendonnées.
Great video. Chesca so sorry to hear about your Dad. Lovely to see River in her pilot seat. Loving forward to following your adventure. They say Avon skin so soft is good for bites. As always 💕for River and Scout.
Thanks so much Jillian 💛 We already have five bottles of Skin So Soft but it did nothing on these bastards! Have now got two bottles of Canadian repellent and it kind of works but doesn't last for too long with me 😂 xx
Love Love Love Nova Scotia, so happy to see you traipse through it. Can't wait to get back there myself. I personally live in Oregon so the landscape in Nova Scotia is comfortable and familiar like Oregon. Stumbled onto your channel because of RU-vid suggestions. Here to stay. I'll be happy to welcome you to Oregon should you get to this coast.
We will definitely be on the way to Oregon! Probably next spring or summer! Thanks so much for watching, hope you enjoy the videos as we make our way over your neck of the woods 🥰💛
