Grocery stores are a favorite stop for us too, no matter where we travel. It's a really underrated way to get a feel for the day to day life of a new place.

I'm a born and raised Newfoundlander. My Father was actually born and raised in Ireland, so you've obviously seen the Irish influence. Our province is visually stunning and there's nothing like it. Thanks for showcasing and I'm very happy you enjoyed it!

[robichag]

Thank your for pronouncing Newfoundland properly!!! ❤

I am Canadian and have visited most of the provinces. I visited Nfld for the first time this summer. We loved it! So beautiful. If you visit be ready for lots of rain and fog. In spite of this, we still very much enjoyed our trip.

Thank you so much for exposing us to these majestic locations that many of us wouldn't know about. Truely beautiful. 🌿

The best people that Canada has to offer reside on the East Coast. Glad you enjoyed your stay !

[discoveringnlwithkevin]

There is so much to love about our island, thank you for showcasing some of that!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Newfoundland. Have been 3 times, we can drive from Boston area. Happy to see this, you are showing me some hikes that would be new to us. Excellent video!

[wagonwheels]

I am so glad you both enjoyed western Newfoundland! This made me smile so much being from western Newfoundland. Fun fact, on the Port au Port peninsula, my great grandfather from France escaped his navy vessel to start his life here, and that’s how my family and so many other western Newfoundlandlers are here

[garystanley]

You two are the only couple travel videos that I enjoy! Know one else comes close!

[dylanbrandt]

Another day of living vicariously through you guys, thank you!

[lshwadchuck]

Glad I found you. I'm a 72-year old armchair traveler and I love your joie de vivre. My mother was a Newfoundlander, I grew up on boiled dinner. Excellent photography and you're both relaxed on camera.

[MyThomas]

Loved this video so much! Western Newfoundland is one of my favorite trips in the world! Can go over and over and never tire of it. You picked a great grocery store too - Coleman's is my go to on my trips there :)

I was born in Newfoundland & have not been able to get back as often as I'd like. Love Jiggs dinner. Best served with some cooking liquid from the pot and yellow mustard for the meat & potato. Also loving the videos of the beautiful scenery!

[jaymesquires]

I’m from St.John’s, NL, currently living in Halifax, NS. I’m so happy to see you are enjoying Newfoundland. If you go to St John’s make sure you stop in for amazing food at The Nook and Cannery!

This is one of the best videos that I have seen of Newfoundland.

[maiaohe]

What a spectacular place. I loved the hiking portions. Looking forward to next Sunday.

Thanks for sharing! I took notes. I remember seeing a show on PBS about Newfoundland & Labrador. The scenery on it, as well as your video, make this seem like an epic, must visit place.
