Do you know what it feels like to stand on a cliff edge, with the icy Atlantic crashing below you, and have the distinct sensation that beyond that horizon there’s truly nothing left? That you’re at the very edge of the world \u2014 and yet it’s breathtakingly beautiful? That’s exactly how Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I felt when we first arrived in St. John’s Canada, on the island of Newfoundland. It was late afternoon, the sun was pushing through that trademark Newfoundland fog, and we were driving downhill towards the harbour. And then we saw them \u2014 the colourful houses. Rows of yellow, pink, turquoise, and orange facades, as if someone had tipped a giant box of jelly beans along the narrow streets. In that moment, I knew I was going to fall in love with this little city.<\/strong> \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. John’s is the capital of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador and one of the oldest cities in North America. It’s rugged, windswept, often shrouded in fog \u2014 and absolutely enchanting. It’s a place where wild nature meets a surprisingly vibrant cultural scene, where in June you can spot 12,000-year-old icebergs from Greenland drifting past the coast and in July watch humpback whales at arm’s reach. And in the evening? You head to George Street, which reportedly has the most bars per square foot in all of North America. As I say \u2014 the edge of the world, but definitely not boring. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newfoundlanders (locals are called “Newfies” and they wear it with pride) are some of the friendliest people we’ve ever met on our travels. Every other person will stop you, ask where you’re from, and launch into a story about their grandfather who fished for cod. And you just stand there, understanding about half of it because the Newfoundland accent is a chapter in itself, but somehow feeling completely at home. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n
