Travel Guide

Laura Simpson

Laura SimpsonI grew up in Nova Scotia attending music shows of all kinds, from ceilidhs to raves. I began photographing live shows and that lead to a career in journalism. I worked for The Chronicle Herald, CBC Radio and News 95.7 Radio, as well as freelancing for several other publications. In 2007, I returned to my original love of music and became Communications and Membership Coordinator for Music Nova Scotia. The non-profit organization helps musicians with the business side of music - everything from gigging locally to exporting their music. Music Nova Scotia's biggest event is Nova Scotia Music Week, held every November in select communities around the province. This blog will help keep you informed about music news around Nova Scotia, sourced directly from our members! For more, go to www.musicnovascotia.ca

Happy Valentine's Day from Romantic Nova Scotia
As Valentine's Day approaches thoughts turn to romance and Nova Scotia is naturally a very romantic place because it is shaped by the sea.

Coastal Hiking In The Fall
There's something about hiking along a shoreline in the fall that I enjoy. It must be the cooler temperature, or the scenery when the leaves have started to fall off the trees. The grass is still green and I need to be outside!
