My father's subscription to National Geographic brought the captiv ..read more

Over two decades ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Newfoundland and ever since, I’ve longed to come back. I vividly remember disembarking the ferry where I was greeted with large, ancient rock formations that towered over me like skyscrapers. It felt like an entirely different country to me.

While many fellow Canadians often boast about its beautiful counterpart provinces, for reasons I can’t quite understand, Newfoundland often gets overlooked. I've just landed after many years, and let me te ..read more
