Category Archives: The Americas I’ve started a new series on the blog called the Monthly Wrap-up. In it, you’ll learn the number of kilometers we’ve driven, what we’ve been up to this month, a description and map of our exact route, noteworthy camping spots, a few highlights, what we expect the next month to hold for us  Though I have spent little of my adult life in my home nation of Canada, I assumed travel here would be less eye-opening, less illuminating, and less educational. Instead, traveling in Canada has been just as – and perhaps more – revealing than travel abroad. With my traveler eyes set on myself and my own culture, these last few weeks have been a thoroughly unique travel experience.  Bruno gets his introduction to Canadian culture as he is put to the challenge of becoming an Honorary Maritimer. In the meantime, seeing my own country from Bruno’s eyes gives me an insight into my own preconceived notions of what is “normal” and what is actually “cultural.”  I spent an entire summer at my parents’ home in New Brunswick, Canada. At first, it was just the parents and I. Then, Bruno arrived. And finally, my brother came too! It was a full house and a full summer, and to do it all justice, this post includes a heck of a lot of photos! Thanks for an amazing summer to everyone who was part of it!!  Totoyaya, our beloved camper van, has arrived in Canada! This practical post describes the ins and outs of the process of getting her from Europe to North America on a ferry, and gives an overall opinion on our experience with Seabridge Motorhome Shipping Company. |
