👋We’re Matt & Karla, a Canadian couple with two totally different backgrounds.
Matt is the “quintessentially Canadian”, born under the northern lights in Northern Alberta with family all over the country, whereas Karla is originally from Mexico City, bringing a totally fresh perspective to a country she has fallen in love with.
Over the past 10 years, we have travelled to 42 countries spanning six continents, which has given us the expertise to plan amazing trips and find memorable experiences.
In 2017, we decided to explore our own massive backyard with Road to 150, a 150-day #roadtrip across #Canada, witnessing the beauty and diversity of this country and sharing our experiences through video, pictures, social media, and articles. Since then, we’ve helped thousands of Canadians and travellers worldwide make the most of every Canadian experience.

It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos, guys. One day, during the Road to 150 journey, I was wondering to visit all those places as well and today, inspired by you, I can watch your videos again and remember the places I visited in Canada. Your work makes a difference in people’s lives, never forget that.

Reversing Falls is so named as we have the highesst tides in the world here in Saint John. When the tide is high, it actually pushes back up into the river, thus "reversing" the natural flow of the water. There are not actually any falls under the water. Just rocks. The power and volume of the tide, pushing against the river flow and rocks, creates the whirlpools and white water that you see :)

@MustDoCanada Жыл бұрын

That's what we thought too, but how we said it is how it's described in all the brochures they hand out at the tourism centre. It's sort of mentioned here too: skywalksaintjohn.com/reversing-falls-rapids-natural-wonder/

You forgot to mention WHY the falls reverse! Saint John is also home to the highest tides in the WORLD. The tides can change and drop so drastically that it causes the tides to swirl and reverse as a result. Also next to the NB Museum you could have gone into the Library which is one of the oldest libraries in Canada.

As someone who lives in northern new brunswick we are told that Saint john isn't worth visiting or living there. Right now it's one of the cheapest places to live in our province because with covid-19 most tourism area espically one of the best musems in new brunswick closed down. The malls are pretty empty compared to moncton and from people I know who lived there for university and stuff they said it was mentally draining place to live. I personally haven't been since I was like 8 but my moms dad lives there and even he doesn't reccomded it and he's lived there for over 30 years. Was surpised to see a video full of postitives lol

@MustDoCanada Жыл бұрын

I find there's always people who say that about where they live. There's people in Calgary who say its boring, and yet, it's often ranked 1st or 2nd best place to live in the country. Top 10 in the world. Local Winnipegers complain about it and we lived there for a summer and loved it.

@TSTait Жыл бұрын

I grew up near Saint John and then later in SJ. We moved to Toronto and then to Southern NB and I have to say Saint John is a terrific place to visit. There are lots of things to do/see, especially uptown and in the more historic areas. Yes, it’s a shame the museum is having some trouble with the building and funding but it isn’t the only thing to do or see. I still work in SJ and having spoken to (and see regularly) the Cruise Ship tourists in awe of the old city helps me appreciate what I take for granted. I’ve even had some tourists tell me it’s their favourite destination and plan their cruises on whether it stops in SJ and if it doesn’t they don’t book it. So, in conclusion, I would discredit SJ for being hit hard by Covid but commend their efforts to revitalize the city, specifically the Uptown area, and encouraging tourism.
