Living On "The Rock" For 1 Month


Monthly Update!

July has come and gone...time flies in wild places!

We started this month with a bang, celebrating Canada Day with a firework send-off as we put our RV on a 7-hour boat ride from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland.

Throughout the month we explored the western side of “the rock” and had the most amazing time hiking in Gros Morne National Park, seeing icebergs at the northernmost point in Lanse aux Meadows, watching whales breach in Twillingate, and photographing puffins on the Bonavista Peninsula.

Newfoundland has quickly become one of our favorite destinations. It is a hidden gem that is perfect for the RV adventurer. We have been sharing our iceberg sightings, and whale and puffin encounters on Instagram to showcase the island's beauty and wildlife.

Over the next few months, we will be building out a comprehensive travel guide to Atlantic Canada, including information on RVing, hiking, and things to see and do in New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island... so stay tuned!

If you have anything specific you are curious about or would like us to make sure we include in our guides, be sure to reach out and let us know!

Travel can be transformative when it is done mindfully and intentionally. Instead of looking at your itinerary as things to check off of a list, consider instead how you can use your time to connect with the world and people around you.

How would the impact of your travels change if you focused on the quality of your experiences rather than the quantity?

Mindfully,

Alyssa & Zach


Travel Tip: International RVing

Traveling across international borders with your RV can feel daunting. Previously we shared some tips for a smooth border crossing between the U.S. and Canada, and this month we are sharing some additional things to keep in mind when traveling abroad within North America by RV or car!

  • Insurance: Check with your insurance provider about driving in the country you are visiting. We were able to get a Canadian Non-Resident interprovincial motor vehicle liability card to have on hand while traveling.
  • Make sure you take some time to familiarize yourself with road signs and speeds. It was an adjustment getting used to km/hour!
  • Check with your cell provider about your plan. Our T-Mobile plan works for calling and texting in Canada, as well as Mexico without extra charges. For mobile internet, your cell-based plans may not work or may face harsh data caps, but Starlink worked wonders for us and is billed regionally if you are on the RV plan (which includes all of North America)

This month we also continued to build out our library of articles on our best RV Tips and Resources, our favorite RV Travel Destinations, and added to our in-depth guides to Acadia National Park. Check out what's new below!
