ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ต.ค. 2021
- In last week's episode, I flew to Newfoundland to begin a 10-week cross-Canada journey, and I got screeched in to get things started. But today, on day 2 of the journey, I spend my first 24 hours in St. John's and see what Newfoundland is REALLY like. Now, the only thing I missed out on is speaking to more locals, but guess what? That's all coming up in the next 3 episodes! So stay tuned for that and make sure to subscribe to be the first to watch.
Enjoy!

I went to Newfoundland this summer and I fell in love with the province, the people, the local music and the food. The scenery is spectacular. It is the most beautiful place on earth and I traveled a lot.
I’m from Ontario, and I have lived my entire life there. I had always wanted to do my masters degree, so, in 2013, when I finally decided to apply for it, I decided on Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) because the masters program I wanted to do is well-known at MUN, one of my friends studied at MUN (in a different program than mine, but she kept raving about how great the school is), and because I had never been to Newfoundland, so I thought, why not apply to MUN. It was a “why not” moment when I decided on MUN. It was the absolutely best decision I ever made regarding my academic life and in my life in general.
I got to live in St. John’s for 2 years, and I experienced so many incredible things such as getting screeched in at Christian’s, seeing Great Big Sea perform on George Street, going to Cape Spear and Signal Hill many times, seeing all of the beautifully coloured houses, getting the best cod I had ever had at the Duke of Duckworth (this is a restaurant in a alley way, which is common in St. John’s), seeing puffins and whales on a boat tour, seeing the capelin rolling at Middle Cove, seeing what I would consider the most beautiful thing on earth, icebergs, and so many more things.
If you have never been to Newfoundland, it is a must see. The people are incredibly nice, and it is just an amazing province. Fogo Island is wonderful, Gander is great, Bay Bulls is awesome, and all in all, St. John’s just felt like home.
What a great tribute to my hometown of st.john's! It's really nice to see people enjoy it as much as I do. Proud newfie right here!
Same! I’m from st.johns two!
You definitely captured a perfect song at the pub that night! Ron Hynes' Sonny's Dream is a Newfoundland staple! Hoping you got to have a feed of Jiggs Dinner before you left the island!!
Wow thanks for giving me the song’s name Gill! It has been added to my playlist. Sadly no Jiggs Dinner was received 😔
@@Sprouht Oh no!!! Next time!
@@Sprouht meh. It’s just boiled everything. Stick with the seafood
@@Sprouht can you message me please
@@Sprouht you should do a hunting episode sometime
Bagel Cafe is one of the best places to eat here. Give The Celtic Hearth a shot too if you ever come back they're 24/7, I usually find myself there at like 2-3am lol
Damn, you live in Newfoundland man?
I used to work there, I love there food but they deep fry there bacon which makes it pretty greasy
Funny actually I used to work at both places! I love the wings at Celtic!
Yes it’s so good there
I agree with both recommendations, though Iliked the Bagel Cafe more. Service at the Celtic Hearth was not great.
Great video. Thanks for capturing our beautiful province the way you did. Glad you guys enjoyed yourself!
This is so nice!😀 I felt all warm and fuzzy throughout the whole video💜! I haven't really traveled a whole lot so it is nice to see what other ppl think about our little island🥰!
I am so proud to be from here, and to live here. It’s so nice watching other people come from away and enjoy the things I get to enjoy everyday but sometimes forget to appreciate 💗
It’s funny to see a travel vlogger visit the place you grew up. Glad to see you were havin’ a time.
Thanks Angelique!
Great video, glad to see NL getting recognized. Definitely recommend doing the hiking trails we have out by Corner Brook like man in the mountain or going further and seeing bottle cove
Love that you loved it here 🤗
I moved from Toronto to St. John's in 2013 and it was exactly what my tired bones needed. It's a different pace here.
I moved from Toronto to Newfoundland to and there is alot of differences if u ask me
@@pumpkin4755 may I ask the good differences? I think I wanna transfer too from Toronto to NL😊
"Watching a sunset and having a beer with a great firend" - best statement in the whole video. There is nothing that contains more truth than this sentence. Great vid again, enjoy the time Will, it is unique. Keep it up! 😀
You got that right! Thanks so much Volker. I’m soaking up every second of it💪🏻
I live about 5 min away from that beach, my house has a lovely view of the bay facing the sunsets from our patio. Whenever I travel to bigger cities it makes me aware of how remote we really are, but I love it here and traveling makes me appreciate it even more ❤
Your showcase Newfoundland exactly as it's lived here!! Well done Will :)
Thanks so much Kevin! Glad I could impress ;)
I'm so glad this popped up on my TH-cam feed (and that it's a recent video, too!). I enjoyed watching it immensely. I moved to the St. John's area when I was a teen, so this brought back memories of when I experienced NL culture for the first time. It was a lot of fun watching your experiences.
You have a new subscriber. Wonderful storytelling.
So cool seeing you explore all these amazing places. I got to travel around Canada and had an amazing time, It’s great watching you do the same. Amazing video!
Thanks so much Nathan!
My first visit to Newfoundland was in Spring 2019. The food was amazing, the people were friendly, and the scenery was just amazing. I had an awesome experience, and I really want to return.
This made me so homesick. Enjoy your time there! It’s such a beautiful province and so much to explore. I can’t wait for the day I can move back to The Rock! Vacationing is never enough these days. I miss home so much, even after 22 years. ❤️
Time to come back and gather around your baby Cubs!
Me too
Are there a lot of jobs there?
I love my home, but watching others enjoy it makes me love it even more! :) Great job! I hope you enjoyed your time here!
love that you started in my home town... and toutons are definitely one of my favorites.. definitely recommend making them again.. my family makes homemade bread and uses the leftover dough to make them and all you gotta do is fry them , I also recommend trying them with butter and brown sugar as a more sweeter flavour..
Love to see the rock get some love. Glad you enjoyed the trip my man!
i love this, thank you for enjoying staying at my province it’s amazing here ❤️
Even as a newfie im definitely missing out on a lot of experiences here haha
Glad to have you here for your journey!
I am definitely following your trip to NFNL! I am excited to see what you do there!!! (Can you do a video talking about budgets or like what to do in a budget? )
Loves it! Lol
Thank you for showcasing our beautiful province so nicely ❤️
It seems I found the perfect channel to know a little bit more about the Great Canada ! Yay!!! I love St. John's vibe !!! Thank you and greetings from Colombia ;)
Proud Newfoundlander here! Looking forward to seeing the rest of this series
Hey guys! I really enjoyed this video. You guys are a hoot but I also learned a lot about St Johns. Will be watching your other videos. Thanks!
You definitely hit all the highlights for sure! Amazing work with the videos!
Thanks Anthony!
Dude, I'm loving this series! I so want to try the beer looks amazingly good.
Hey where u guys where at topsail beach just behind u there’s this big mountain at the top of that there is a really nice viewing place where u could probably get the best sunset experience In St. John’s. Sick video too keep it up.
I was born and raised in Newfoundland, best place ever!!!! You could not get lost because all neighbour's knew you and where you lived. I did not live in St. John's but along the Atlantic Ocean!!! Enjoy your travels!!
amazing video! I've explored numerous locations in Newfoundland, and I absolutely adore this province.
Excellent video guys! I am a Newfoundlander and you did many of the things and went to many of the places I get to enjoy regularly. So glad you had a good time and the weather offered you its best! Next time come back for Whale and Ice Berg season if you didn't catch any this time round :)
Thanks for giving light to our province!
My dude, i'm so glad you got to experience Newfoundland, and you've captured the essence of the island perfectly. You even pronounced everything perfectly! Don't forget to come back to visit!
Thanks so much Andre!
The day I decided to move back to NL, I saw this video on TH-cam! I forgot to go back and watch it, so here I am now!! Beautiful video so far, thanks for sharing 😊
Hope you enjoyed it here man alot of beautiful places here to see
Awesome video, great shots and storyline.. loving it… It’s a mindset…
Great video! Great sights! Thank you!
I don't miss any episode and I Still look forward to the next one. I really enjoy to see you two in action... It isso sooooo fun!
Thank you so much Rodrigo!
Great video! I just wish it was longer. I’m an Aussie who’s never been east of Saskatoon in Canada but would love to visit Newfoundland. Something about those remote areas, the people, the food and drink is really enticing.
I was born in St.John's, thank you for showcasing my home
I'm sorry that it took me this long to watch your unique view of this amazing trip across Canada. I'm now subscribed.
Thank you for doing St Johns justice and making this
Fantastic video. Definitely showcased some of the best things to do in an around the city. Best of luck on your future adventures. Cheers.
Thanks so much captain!

Hey Will I just came across your channel and I love your storytelling ability. New sub can’t wait to see where the journey takes us both
sounds like you are fitting in just fine!! you'll leave but you'll be back....
Love the attitude and positive energy!
Veo tus videos para aprender y mejorar mi comprensión del inglés y aparta aprendo mucho con lo que nos compartes.
This makes me miss home! St John's is my favorite place on earth!
What an amazing looking place! Great video man!
Topsail beach is a 5 minute drive from my home and I’ve been blessed my entire life to have grown up and lived in such a beautiful place. Those mountains that you can see in this video overlooking topsail beach is called topsail bluff, the view from there on a summers evening is something else.
That’s so very beautiful vlog of the beautiful place #Newfoundland
Amazing YOU!
Looking forward to your next video.
Glad you enjoyed our lovely little rock! Hope the rest of your trip is just as eventful!
Thanks so much!
AMAZING VIDEO WILL!
Congrats man, this is some heartwarming stuff ❤️
Thanks Alex! Appreciate you man
Best video of NL yet. The west coast of the island ,however, is the most beautiful.
You never really know how great it is to live here until u see someone visit here you forget how great we have it here
Glad you are enjoying it. I'm enjoying seeing my home through your eyes.
I’m glad I could bring that to you, Mike!
I was just here a couple weeks ago. Newfoundland/ St. John’s is such an incredible place!
Wonderful job love the video
I’m glad you loved your time here in my hometown :)
Great vid guys.
Just found your channel. love the vibes. Have a safe trip!!
*I just got back from my first trip to St. John’s, Newfoundland. I made a TH-cam video about our vacation and our trip was amazing! We went to signal Hill, Cape Spear, saw whales from the beach 😮 got Screeched In, saw a concert. I see you were at O’Reilly’s pub we were there, too. 🍻🎤🎸 thanks for the great video!*
Proud to wake up here everyday and call it my home! Everyone is welcome to come visit and stay a while.
I was too, but made the mistake of leaving and can’t get back…21 years of sorrow. Hurts every day.
please william go out from new founland the huracan fiona its going be there pretty soon
Glad you had a time in our neck of the woods
Amazing video. Keep on keeping on. 💯
Wonderful place indeed thanks for sharing
Topsail Beach is right on my doorstep. Moved to Newfoundland from the UK eight years ago and love it here. If you have time, you should go to Topsail Bluff on the hill behind you for an even more amazing view of the sunset.
I love when people visit my hometown:D Thankyou
Being on the beach and being the first person to see the sunrise in North America is special. Love the colorful houses of St. John's.
That it is Steve!
Thank you guys!
Love these guys! Keep it up.
Thanks man!
Thanks for the video Will, as always it’s a good set ;)
Thank you so much man!
Nice to see you having a beer at Topsail Beach, I'm from that area and have had many fires and beer there. Glade you enjoyed it, but too bad no one there helped you pronounce Topsail lol
The large mountain bluff behind you is topsail bluff up there is my favourite spot in the world, so glad you guys made it out to topsail beach though its an awesome spot!
Spoken by a true Newfie! It is nice that we get these visitors but they would never imagine the true nature of Newfoundlanders and the Giormous hearts we wear on our sleeves and our willingness to go above and beyond for anyone at all... City folk ..well they are just a different breed, its every man for himself lol None the less it is nice to see outsiders showing an interest always!!!!
Best place in Metro for a good old fashioned bon fire!
Drawn here as a Newfie who travels himself; Love seeing tourists enjoy my hometown
Glad to hear you're enjoying our province! Hope you make it up to Labrador on your trip.
I sadly didn’t but next time! You have a great first name, by the way💪🏻
I found your video bc the Ontario summer heat has me WISHING for a literally cooler place to do summer holidays! Need to get out of the heat & I think NL will be a good place to visit!
Nice! Now I wanna visit!
I MOVED HERE FOR THE COZY WINTERS & THE OCEAN VIEW....😇🙏💖🌈🌬🌊🐳
it's amazing land and nice to see you with Mike ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Lamjed!
That moment when you were right by my house when you went out to the battery by the purple house with the yellow door lol. Best place to live ever, I hope you enjoyed yourself when you were here.
Enjoy your journey across my home province.
As someone born and raised in Newfoundland you did a amazing job exploring our island!!
Thanks so much Adaline!
Amazing bro. More of this type of videos pls. I surely enjoyed it!

That's where I learned to skip rocks, topsail beach. Beautiful place, and my home town.
