Name 3 things we’ve gotta do when we visit Nova Scotia:

1. Kayaking in St Ann’s Bay
2. Hike the North River Falls- Highest in NS
3. Party at the Red Shoe in Mabou then go lobster fishing but not in that order

What makes Nova Scotia such a special place on earth for you?

I do not have to lock my doors and live in fear like some countries do. You can walk on a beach any season and go for miles being the only soul there. The water is also accessible to everyone. You can drink the water from the streams. I could go on forever
Solitude, friendly, spectacularly beautiful, great music, great people.
