Hello from Canada: As way of introduction, I live in Florida, but have lived and worked summers in national parks years. This winter I bought my first RV, and decided to do something different. I am in Nova Scotia workamping and so far, even though the weather has been pretty bad, I love the different culture, the scenery is amazing, and I am looking forward to exploration of all the Maritimes. I travled here mostly on my own (the first leg I had friends), and as my first entry it was nerve-racking, daunting, but I felt good once I got here. I learned to back-up, hook-up, clean-up, and everything in between. I look forward to hearing from others who have joined this group with the same adventurous spirit I have and learn new ways to do things, share ideas, etc.

Welcome! So glad to have you with us. I have a question for you. As a fellow workamper, I've wondered about working in Canada and have been told different things - one that I wouldn't be able to. Does Canada make that difficult?

I love that you traveled outside your comfort zone and found comfort. I did the same, as have many of us. And I'm so glad I did.

Join in often and hope to meet you down the road.

Welcome to the group. Lots of good info and fun here. My DH (known as tGM) and I did the Maritimes last year and loved it. Where in Nova Scotia are you? We have a blog and you can read and see pics of where we went. Congrats on striking out of your comfort zone (which doesn't seem to have lasted very long :lol: ). carold

Welcome from the Sunny Southwest of the U.S.! Glad you've found us! We'll all be looking forward to hearing about your adventures. I hope you know how to post pictures, because that seems to be almost a requirement -- especially from somewhere that most of us have never been. :)

Again, welcome.

Welcome and, as noted earlier, please post pictures of your RV so we can all get to know you better. Another question on the workamping--how did you find out about the job in Canada?

Welcome! Sounds like you have a great summer planned. I am from FL too, and just started full-timing in March. I'm traveling in the NE this summer. The Maritimes are still on my list, but not this summer.
