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❤

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

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!

You can't miss Cape Breton!!

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

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).

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

Glad you enjoyed your stay in this beautiful province.

Welcome to Nova Scotia

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.

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

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

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!

Thanks for sharing never been there thanks breathtaking scenery take care ❤💯💯

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

You missed the Valley of NS ...so many good fruits and veggies ...world famous strawberries and blueberries. Come back soon!

Thanks for the video

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.

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

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!!! 🐾

Beautiful video ... fantastically edited and truly shows the beauty of Canada and your adventures. 🙏

Great to see your travels in Canada, am so jealous. Take care John & Mayo

Hi Demi, what a joy to see our girl with the smiling eyes. Another lighthouse - I love lighthouses!!! Edie seems so excited with everything. Love to see her looking around taking it all in!! Luneberg (?spelling) is an amazing place, and I love the buildings, so colourful! I agree with what you said about living in a small space. You don't have to be messy, or grubby or eat junk in a van - unless it's the way you live normally. You live just the same as what is normal for you - except maybe a few less clothes, and no clutter - hehe! What beautiful scenes you wake up to, I live in the great Australian outback, and understand in how wonderful it is to be far from the hustle and bustle most take for normal! As always you have done a wonderful job sharing this time with us all. Be blessed, and take care. 😊❤👩‍🦽

What a beautiful part of Canada! Everything in Lunenburg was soooooooo colorful.

The east coast really has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Glad you are enjoying some good east coast hospitality.

We were just there on June 10th, with family; beautiful town

Your video showed up in my recommended videos list and KZfaq got it right. Wasn't long before I hit subscribe and then the notifications bell so I won't miss future videos. Hope you have an awesome day

Oh wow my favourite place in Canada. I lived in Pictou when I was a kid. 12 years ago we did a 21 day tour of Nova Scotia. If you go to lunenburg look out for Bluenose and visit the maritime museum. When you get to the bay of Fundy go to Annapolis Royal and the old wooden fortress. It’s stunning and full of history

So contact by phone to verify a Canada post office that is in an area you are visiting if they will accept Amazon packages, make sure to get the physical address of the post office.

If you find your way up to the north shore, Jost Wines and Blue Sea Beach would be great stops. We have 50 acres here minutes from Blue Sea Beach, if you needed a place for an evening. We have water and septic hook up for visiting family and friends. Enjoy your time in Nova Scotia.

So happy to hear you are enjoying our Canadian hospitality eh. Curious about how got your van over here. Steve (68yrs) Manitoba

I love your puppy. ❤

While you spent the night at Baccaro point, you no doubt noticed the large radar tower not far from the lighthouse. There used to be an RCAF radar base there. The road you drove out to the lighthouse on takes a sharp turn that would have skirted the periphery fence before arriving at the light.

Be very careful on your travels with ticks!! Nasty little bugs that can give you Lyme disease if you get bitten by certain ones…….your puppy too, but he can get medication to protect him….. still somewhat of a new thing here, and extremely wide spread now. You are never more than an hour from the coast in this province! Hope you enjoyed everything….

Lots of vineyards around Wolfville

Have fun.....enjoy the rest

if you can go to St. Andrews in New Brunswick with ocean from camping in town.

There are lots of free roadside "fresh water springs" in Nova Scotia. Just ask some locals. There is one near Baddeck, in Cape Bretton. Likely dozens on the island. There is one near Thorburn, NS, one called Mt Thom Spring between New Glasgow and Truro. There are also lots of water falls to see in Nova Scotia. Hope you make it to PEI.

I wish I could provide you some advice on your RV hook up. I doubt you will find anything in a regular store as you are probably one of a handful of people in the entire country that might need to do what you’re doing! That said, maybe you could call ahead to an RV dealer down the road where you’re planning to go and ask them to order what you need and pick it up when you get there. Good luck! If you crack that nut let us know what you did. I’d be curious to know how it all works out!

I hope you get over to Newfoundland. If you think NS is friendly....... Newfoundland is 10 x more.❤

Hey, welcome to Canada and Nova Scotia. I’m in Wolfville. A great university town ( there are tons here) how did you do with the storm? Let us know if you need anything.

I dont know why but that sea looked a tad nippy ! Wonder if michael packed a bodyboard ? dem rockin out to tom petty , nice one , muchos luv from rutland !

You found some wonderful places to park, despite the rude awakening of the foghorn 😂

Great views and video!! How was the swim?!

Prince Edward Island - you really missed out!

Welcome to Nova Scotia. Céad míle fáilte

Lots of sand beaches along that coast

Asking if "all the Canadians" are the same in the remote eastern provinces as the rest of Canada is as strangely naive as asking if the folks of the Orkney islands are the same as the average Londoner 😂😂 can't wait for you to hit the province of Québec then! 🙃 🇨🇦

Great videos 🙂 Keep it up! My ears would thank you if you bought a better mic though, and normalize the sound level across the entire video 😉

just curious,is your van a rental or did you have it shipped over from the UK..look forward to more of your vids..

Are you not going to visit PEI? You will be missing the best part of Atlantic Canada.

It would have been a Garbage truck I expect. Really like your videos...ex scouser.

4:06 who is it?

Are you planning to come west too?

Please turn camera around so we can see the view while your talking

Maybe garbage truck

Canada 101... The further EAST you go, the friendlier the people... The further WEST you go, the more violent crimes you get. The middle point seems to be the Ontario/Manitoba border... The most socialized province is Quebec, the least, is Alberta (and it's little brown-nosing puppy, Saskatchewan). Last point... The nicest drivers are in New Brunswick, and the WORST are probably in Quebec (especially the nasty old-age drivers)... I live there and I bike a lot. Those old people swear like lumberjacks and give me the finger all the time, when I'm following the laws and they AREN'T !!!
