Find yourself on a captivating and unique odyssey into the nature and culture of Newfoundland and Labrador, designed especially for the discerning global traveler.
I love this place -- every inch of it, every outport and bay and quiet cove; every cliff and rock and turn in the road, and I love sharing what's special and wonderful and unique about it: the quality of the light on a summer morning; the sound of waves gently lapping on sand or crashing against a rocky shore; the smell of a sun-warmed berry patch or a grove of spruces in the mist. The sea is part of the way of life here, there are small boats made by the hand of a master, simply built but with an elegance of line that will take your breath away. There's music handed down through generations from early settlers who made their way across an expanse of sea; their stories are shared by descendants who've consciously kept them alive and vivid. I believe in serendipity, and in letting my life be changed by this remarkable place and its people; if you're open to being part of that adventure, let me share my Newfoundland and Labrador with you.
Your travel will be customized -- arranged just for you, and based on your interests and preferred accommodations: hotels, inns, or bed-and-breakfasts. Stay for a few days, a week or more; the choice is yours. Transportation and sightseeing are provided, and meals can be included if you wish. Picture yourself here!
