First Take on Canadian Vanlife! 🇨🇦🚐 Nova Scotia - Canada’s ocean playground!

Striking up a conversation with total strangers is not the least bit unusual here in Canada (or in the U.S. for that matter). You might find it a bit less usual in big urban centres like Toronto or Montreal but still much more common than the U.K. or Europe. We just returned from a trip to Switzerland and the only strangers we had a casual conversation with were tourists from India and Australia.

glad you were on my recommended, I have lived in Nova Scotia my whole life (51 years) to me it is the most beautiful place to live, I love seeing it through fresh eyes! Thanks for taking us on your journey, you now have a new follower!

I’m so happy you are enjoying my home!!!!!!!!!! It makes me so happy to see people visiting our province. I wish you the best as you explore Canada. New sub ! Can’t wait to follow along❤

Welcome to our province! Next time you’re here come to the Northumberland strait, warmest waters north of the Carolinas and the sunrise trail is so beautiful!

Love your channel I live in Nova Scotia and thank you we do live in a beautiful province I live about 40 min from Peggy's Cove it is a beautiful area down there and around the coast.Safe travels enjoy Canada's Ocean playground

If the truck was picking up waste, it's a garbage truck. A dump truck is the UK's dumper / tipper truck. Welcome to Canada (and my current home, Nova Scotia). Hope you have a great tour. cheers

So glad you are enjoying your time here in Nova Scotia! Great video.

Ah! The proverbial cordiality in Atlantic Canada! My experience in Prince Edward Island. Coming in by sailboat and needing to do some repairs, a local man gave us the keys to his truck for the day so we could run errands! If and when you get to the Province of Québec (I don't know how long your trip will be), here are some interesting vistas in the Eastern part of Québec: - Bonaventure Island next to Percé: the world's largest colony of Northern gannets (Fou de bassan in French). To see them dive in the sea is impressive. You can visit the colony, but you probably can't bring your dog along. Bring nose plugs (the bird stench, reminiscent of wet dog smell times 10)! - Whale watching: all through Summer. on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence river (from Tadoussac and eastward). Several companies (from small rubber dinghies to large motor yachts). If you're unlucky, you'll ONLY see Belugas and seals. There are ferries at various points between the North and South shores of the St. Lawrence. - Cap Tourmente (just East of Québec City). Local stop of Snow geese on their fall migration South (end of September to early November). Thousands of geese at any one time. Snow geese are smaller that the more commonly known Canada geese. - picking wild blueberries in the Lac St-Jean (in August). Driving along the western side of the Saguenay fjord you'll get spectacular views (or from Québec City, you go through a Provincial park. Check the weather before you go. That road can get nasty in bad weather). Wild blueberries are much smaller than the commercial ones, but tastier. You can buy a 'plastic berry picker' to harvest more berries, quicker (~ $11 CAD).

Are you coming here to Prince Edward Island? There is a ferry from Pictou to PEI. Drive around the island and then take the bridge to New Brunswick. PEI is beautiful at this time of the year. Great video! I love Nova Scotia.

Wow that town is gorgeous. Can't help but smile at Edie living her best life 😄 I'm very jealous.

Glad you enjoyed your stay in this beautiful province.

Hope you guys had a really nice time! Pretty normal for us Maritime’s to say Hello etc. it’s a beautiful province. I am biased for sure having lived here from day one!

You can't miss Cape Breton!!

So glad I stumbled across your channel. I love seeing folks exploring my home town of Lunenburg. Safe travels, and can’t wait to follow along.

its called the western shore when you go to the bottom half of NS

So glad to see you enjoying NS :) Too bad you are not coming all the way to Cape Breton but I realize you can't squeeze-in every hidden gem:) Overland Sophia did beach camp about 30 mins from us - just saying since you referenced their recommendations LOL Loving your footage and how you balance our travel and scenery! Oh btw, for many camping/RV supplies don't hesitate to look up Princess Auto. They are across Canada too I think (like Canadian Tire) When you get to Ottawa Mountain Coop on Wellington street is also full of goodies. And another massive chain i Cabelas. In smaller communities Home Hardware stores are helpful too. They carry lots of specialized equipment even if not on their shelves you can always ask. Safe Travels!!! 🐾

The Van is a feast to stay/ sleep in. As always epic content Demi. Scenery next level. Thanks for sharing , greetings from South Africa

Welcome to Nova Scotia

Nova Scotians are really friendly. Newfoundlander’s even more. In Canada a dump truck hauls gravel and dirt. A garbage truck hauls garbage and picks it up from big bins in public places called dumpsters and garbage cans at the ends of peoples laneway

Thanks for the video
