Us Newfoundlanders like to add dressing/stuffing so my poutine is curds, gravy, stuffing and just a little leftover bacon from breakfast 😂

As a Nova Scotian (born in Newfoundland), I came to BC for a two-week honeymoon and somehow ended up leaving with a province-sized crush.

Over the past two weeks, we stayed near the city and in a small town on Vancouver Island, and every place we visited left an impression. We crossed the suspension bridge, rode the Sea to Sky Gondola, explored the coastline, and packed as much sightseeing as we could into our trip.

One thing that genuinely amazed me was the public transit. Everything seemed to be on time, easy to understand, and simple to navigate (something that can be a challenge back home in Halifax.) The people we met were incredibly friendly, and I may or may not have developed a slight addiction to Blenz Coffee along the way.

What started as a honeymoon has turned into something more. For the first time, my husband and I have found ourselves seriously talking about the possibility of making BC our forever home someday.

There is still so much we didn’t get to see, but that’s just another reason to come back. This province has some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever experienced, and I already know this won’t be our last visit.

Thank you, BC, for the memories and for making it very difficult to board my flight home.

Here are a few of my favourite photos from the trip. 📸

Right before the Barrington / Upper Water St intersection.
Avoid the area if possible, traffic is being directed up Amalamek Way.

From what we can see, everyone is okay (cannot confirm it but that’s what it looks like to us.)
