Travel Guide

Maria McGowan

Maria McGowanI am enthusiastic by nature, curious by design. I love my family, history, people, music, healthy food and the ocean - these drive my enthusiasm for living in Nova Scotia. My curiosity is sparked by learning new things about Nova Scotia. You see, I moved away from Nova Scotia after university and moved back "home" eleven years later. I am learning about Nova Scotia all over again, with a different pair of eyes (actually 8 pairs if you count my husband and kids).

When not blogging about my discoveries, I am working, raising a family and doing a crossword puzzle (in pencil, not pen).

I love Nova Scotia. This is the right coast for me.
