Happy New Year adventure seekers! I hope you all enjoyed a nice holiday season with family and friends and that everyone is on the mend! Santa brought me a beach house for Christmas this year and I am over the moon with excitement. Located in Back Harbour, on North Twillingate Island, my new home overlooks spectacular Notre Dame Bay and the famed “Iceberg Alley” sea route. In the Springtime I will able to watch icebergs float by from the comfort of my shed with wood stove. In fact, Twillingate is known as the iceberg capital of the world and tourists travel to the East Coast Province each Spring and Summer to try and catch a glimpse of the icy bergs as the float down the coast of NL from Greenland and Canada’s Arctic. I look forward to all the New Year has in store!

The last few weeks have been extremely busy as I moved across the Province and got settled in! We had a light snowfall for Christmas but lots of wind!! However, in true adventure seeker fashion I did not let the hurricane force winds and icy gales keep me inside - I bundled up in layers, stuck on my crampons and headed out on the many coastal hiking trails for some fresh salty ocean air. Back Harbour is also known for incredible sunsets over the wild North Atlantic Ocean. Throughout the holiday season I was blessed with many spectacular sunsets and sunrises as well-this place is a magical adventure seeker paradise and I’m so grateful to call it home. Lots of room for adventurous guests and looking forward to sharing more about my inspiration for the beach house and future plans!

Finally, I was fortunate to fit in a quick road trip to the town of Gander to catch the last show of The Irish Descendants Christmas tour at The Gander Arts and Culture Centre. Special Thank you to frontman and musician Con O’Brien for the lovely invite. It was an extra special holiday show series featuring Mark Manning and Aaron Collis from local folk band Rum Ragged. It was fantastic and a must see Christmas show when visiting beautiful NL during December.
