New Brunswick will always be home, and getting the chance to return to Bouctouche and Kouchibouguac National Park was a big highlight for me.
Last summer I had a week in New Brunswick, exploring Shediac and the Shediac Lobster Festival, I was in Fredericton for a few days, and then Bouctouche and Kouchibouguac. The whole trip was wonderful, especially because I think New Brunswickers are some of the nicest people on Earth, but also because there are very few places so green and beautiful.
And I loved that the area is still heavily influenced by the Acadian people–from music and stories, to their language. It’s amazing to see the incredible flag flying proudly today over Saint-Louis de Kent.
If you’re curious what it’s like in South East New Brunswick, watch my video on YouTube for some highlights. I visited the Bouchtouche Sand Dunes, Kouchibouguac National Park, stayed at L’Ancrage Bed & Breakfast in Saint-Louis de Kent, and stopped at Woodchuck Carvings, and finally Le P’tit Coin Acadien for some poutine râpée.
Watch for my other NB travel videos coming up soon, with one on Fredericton, and one on Shediac and the area.
