HOW TO SPEND A PERFECT DAY IN CAMDEN, MAINE Until now, our limited knowledge of Maine consisted of getting from Nova Scotia to Millenocket to hike Mount Katahdin in Baxter State Park. We’ve done this, as a family, a total of 5 times now but have never ventured beyond so when the opportunity to explore…
What’s the most surreal place you’ve ever been? That’s the question we ask every traveler we meet. A little over a year ago, without knowing what we were doing, we launched this little blog having no idea how quickly it would evolve. Fast forward to today, and this is my full time gig…
*Sponsored Post* Since we started travelling together over 4 years ago, we’ve become bonafide road trip experts. We do at least two long-haul (more than 2,000km) road trips each year and dozens more shorter trips (less than 1,000 km). We’ve become proficient distance drivers, able to cover long distances with very few breaks and…
Pictou Island is a tiny little island in the Northumberland Straight just off the coast of Nova Scotia. It’s so small (just 7km long and 2.5km wide) and unknown that many people who have lived in Nova Scotia their entire lives have never even heard of it. Well, get ready to be amazed! GETTING…

The LaHave and Petite Riviere area…
As (almost) full time travel bloggers there are two phrases we hear just about daily. The first is, “Must be nice to get to travel all the time. I can’t afford that” and the other is, “How do you make money?”. That second question is odd to us, albeit valid since travel blogging for a…
If you’ve done any amount of travelling you’ve likely experienced a guided tour at one point or another. Tours range from historic walking tours that are just a couple of hours long to multi-week guided tours and, of course, the ever infamous booze cruise. Let’s be honest, we’ve all indulged in one (or ten) of…
We’ve spent the vast majority of the last year travelling around Nova Scotia and showing off everything our home province has to offer from food to adventure, accommodations to hiking trails and everything in between. In that time we’ve been invited further and further away from NS to visit other parts of our Country and…
Imagine the sound of a raging river, the song of the birds, the dirt beneath your feet and your heart pounding in your ears as you tackle a 48 degree incline along the coast. It’s amazing. It’s a thrill. It’s exhilarating and you feel on top of the world…until you feel the throbbing inside your…
This was our first visit to Mersey River Chalets and Nature Retreat and we were looking forward to an off-the-grid getaway. Located in Caledonia Nova Scotia, these chalets were a great place to spend the night – particularly after another big snowfall in Nova Scotia. CHECKING IN: MERSEY RIVER FIRST IMPRESSIONS As we drove in the…
