    We spent Friday wandering the historic streets of We spent Friday wandering the historic streets of Lunenburg and Mahone Bay. Colorful buildings, old storefronts, harborside views, and the kind of little details you miss when you’re rushing from one place to the next. No big agenda. Just walking, looking, discovering and letting the towns unfold around us. We don’t always need an adventure to make a day memorable. Sometimes, it’s just a pretty street, a little curiosity, and nowhere else you need to be that makes the day great! #lunenberg #mahonebay #novascotia #slowroll
    This is your sign to book that Newfoundland trip. This is your sign to book that Newfoundland trip. By far one of our favorite places in North America! Great variety of things to do, animals to see. trails to hike, and some of the friendliest towns and people you’ll ever visit. Don’t forget a quick ferry ride to Labrador while you’re there. We just loved it. #outofoffice #lookingforasign #findyourhappy #intentionalliving #puffin

    Newfoundland sent us off with a little bit of ever Newfoundland sent us off with a little bit of everything! Our last couple of days around Argentia and Placentia: 🌧️ Weathered a storm 🦊 Saw a red fox ⚓️ Drove through mountains and valleys to Ship Harbour 🏰 Explored Castle Hill National Historic Site 🛳️ Boarded an overnight ferry for the 16-hour trip to Sydney, Nova Scotia The weather tested us, the fox surprised us, and the drive to Ship Harbour reminded us just how varied this landscape is. Castle Hill gave us a glimpse into centuries of history, and leaving by boat felt like the perfect goodbye to a place so deeply connected to the sea. We came looking for new places and experiences, and this summer Newfoundland delivered in both planned and completely unexpected ways. The weather wins some days. Wildlife makes surprise appearances. History runs so deep, with so many North America firsts. The landscape keeps changing. And the hardworking, kind people of Newfoundland welcomed us Come From Away travelers into their villages. We’re leaving with a lot of miles, even more memories, and a feeling that Newfoundland will stay with us for a very long time.
    Contender for bird baddie? The Northern Gannet! It Contender for bird baddie? The Northern Gannet! It can spot a meal and plunge-dive 100 feet reaching 60mph! How do they slice through the water without getting hurt? -Subcutaneous air sacs that protect their brain and chest -Neck muscles that lock their vertebrae -Nostrils inside their mouth to protect their lungs -Translucent 3rd eyelids for crash protection The momentum of the dive carries them up to 70 feet down. It’s amazing that even with wingspans reaching up to 6.5 feet (the largest seabird in North America) they can torpedo in like this. Also, they mate for life, are affectionate towards their partners, and return not just to the same area every year, but the same nest.#baddie #amazinganimals #needforspeed #newfoundland #birdlover
    What lies halfway between Mistaken Point and Cape What lies halfway between Mistaken Point and Cape Race? An off-the-beaten rode and some pouring rain that resulted in a pretty double rainbow and a jaw dropping sunset. Cape Race is a Marconi wireless telegraph location with a pretty lighthouse. They are known for receiving the Titanic distress signal since they were closest to where the ship hit the iceberg. The “unsinkable”ship that went from having 64 life boats in the plan to just 16 + 4 collapsible ones sank on its maiden voyage. The men at Cape Race aided in getting other ships there to help. Although many died, this ship forever changed safety standards for ships. Today’s life lesson is to stay positive. Rainbows often appear when you least expect them and need them most. #staypositive #rainbow #lighthouse #titanic #nowthatsboondocking

    Life is all about perspective isn’t it? You can’t Life is all about perspective isn’t it? You can’t help but feel young standing next to multi-celled fossils that are 300 million years older than the dinosaurs! Once famous for its many shipwrecks, Mistaken Point has become known for something more interesting. In the 1960s the fossilized remains of a community of marine creatures known collectively as Ediacaran biota were found on the cliffs of Mistaken Point. These organisms represent the first appearance of large and complex life on Earth around 570million years ago. That’s over 300 million years before the dinosaurs ruled the world! Imagine a thriving community of soft-bodied creatures without shells, bones, muscles or eyes that lived on a deep, dark, ocean floor and fed by filtering food from the sea water. Now, imagine that the community was suddenly wiped out, buried under tons of volcanic ash and dust. Its inhabitants trapped, entombed by the falling debris, neighbour next to neighbour, frozen together in time. Sounds a lot like Pompeii, Italy but this is also what happened at Mistaken Point. Tours are inexpensive but guided only and because the fossils cover the rocks it’s the only tour we’ve been on where you have to remove your shoes to see them. A really unique experience. #lifeperspective #foreveryoung #barefoot #guidedtour #keeplearning

Hope you are continuing to make the most of your summer as well since it isn’t over until 9/22. Sure, pumpkin spice is probably already available and Fall is a great time of year too but we’re over rushing through every season. Who’s with us? #takeitin #summer2026 #hike

Special thanks to fellow travelers The Hergotts (@paulhergott) for the great recommendation. #dolly #picnic #ferryland #lighthouse #simplelife

    Simply start where you are. You don’t need to buy Simply start where you are. You don’t need to buy an RV and spend all summer in Newfoundland to begin enjoying it. You can fly into St. John’s and in 3 days you can see: — Cabot Tower, Signal Hill for panoramic views of the city and Atlantic from high above the harbor —North Head Trail for a cliffside hike winding from the colorful neighborhood of The Battery. —Jellybean Row is perceived as one specific street wander downtown and you’ll find rainbow houses everywhere. — Quidi Vidi Village is a fishing outport tucked into a dramatic cove; grab an iceberg beer and lunch at Quidi Vidi Brewery —The Rooms is a combination provincial museum and art gallery, with stunning harbor views —The Colonial Building served as the home of the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly from 1850 to 1959 — The Basilica Cathedral of St. John the Baptist was the largest church in North America upon completion in 1855. —Don’t forget to have some great food and listen to live music. 📌 Best time to visit: June–September for icebergs, whales & festivals #startsmalldreambig #timeisprecious #travel #newfoundland #liveyourdreams
    In 6+ years of full time travel, we’ve learned tha In 6+ years of full time travel, we’ve learned that getting just a little bit off the well worn path brings the greatest joy. As an example, some of the best hiking in Newfoundland is along these rugged East Coast Trail of the Avalon Peninsula. Most people stop in the nearest city St John’s (and yes, you should) but these hikes are nearby! Similarly last year in Banff we found most people run from the shuttle to Lake Louise and grab their Instagram photo. It is sooo crowded. Should you go? Yes, but you can escape most of the crowd and see that stunning area without elbowing people out of your shot (LOL) if you’re willing to hike even 1 mile. It’s great to pick spots and take ideas from others that have been before you but travel, like life, is best when you put your own spin on it. You may start where everyone else does but you can carve your own unique path and that’s the beauty of it all. #avalonpeninsulanewfoundland #intentionalliving #findyourhappy #carveyourownpath
    Often the best way to understand a place is to wal Often the best way to understand a place is to walk through its past. Cupid and Brigus gave us a glimpse into Newfoundland’s English settlement history. Cupids (originally named Cuper’s Cove is the site of Canada’s first English colony. It was established in 1610 (after Jamestown, Virginia but before Plymouth Rock). Then we wandered through the pretty little town of Brigus with its well maintained 19th century English dwellings, winding streets, and quaint harbor. This is one of our favorite things about traveling is that we aren’t just going places, our curiosity leads us to places that explain who was here before us, how they lived, and how they shaped the area today. #intentionalliving #staycurious #historybuff #brigus #quainttowns

    Sometimes the best days are the ones you don’t pla Sometimes the best days are the ones you don’t plan around a big attraction. We stopped to explore the Mad Rock Trail, wandered through the scenery, and then found the perfect way to end the adventure at a local café with traditional fish cakes, beans and touton (Newfounland bread)with molasses. Those are the moments we’ve learned to make room for. You never know what you’ll discover when you’re willing to take the detour or simply stop long enough to enjoy a tiny moment during a regular day. #intentionalliving #simplemoments #tinyjoys
    A honk and a wave through Harbor Grace. This chur A honk and a wave through Harbor Grace. This church is massive and being repurposed. Maybe someday we will see what it becomes. I think this old ship ran aground and has never been moved. Then there’s the donation of this plane and a statue of Amelia Earhart and a gorgeous historic section of town. Wanted to understand what all this was but…moving on. #honkandawave #harbourgrace
    It doesn’t matter what state or Province you live It doesn’t matter what state or Province you live in, you’ll find diversity within your area. Colorado is known for the Rockies but did you know it also has the largest sand dunes in North America? Nebraska doesn’t just have flat grasslands, they have badlands, sand dunes, rivers and lakes. I could go on and on but you get the point. We did two hikes just 10 miles apart at Red Head Cove and Grates Cove. There were similarities sure but Red Head Cove had narrow trails that wound through trees at times, sea stacks, and the kind of quiet you only find at the end of the road. Grates Cove while still near the rugged shoreline was a hike through raw, windswept headland, and centuries-old stone rock fences built by hand to keep animals from eating the gardens that once grew here. Two hikes, two different moods, but both beautiful in their own way. Proving yet again you don’t have to go that far to appreciate all the beauty that’s out there. #all50states #naturemore #fairyhomes

    In July 1866, the first successful transatlantic t In July 1866, the first successful transatlantic telegraph cable was laid across the ocean floor between Ireland and Heart’s Content, Newfoundland — instantly linking Europe and North America for the first time in history. Messages that once took weeks by ship suddenly took minutes! After repeated failures in 1857–58, this success proved heavy armored cables could survive the crushing depths of the ocean floor, paving the way for the undersea cables that still connect us today. The key? Loading thousands of feet of cable onto a retrofitted luxury liner that was 700 feet long and five times the size of any other ship afloat. During the world wars, Heart’s Content boomed as a communications hub providing women who worked there equal pay and opportunities as men. The station operated for nearly 100 years before closing in 1965 — which is why all the original equipment is still on display, the room preserved almost exactly as it looked the day it shut down. One other place to visit here…the lovely lighthouse. #womeninhistory #telegraph #heartscontent #newfoundland #lighthouse
