Nicole & Joerg Knoerchen

Joerg and Nicole KnoerchenWe are outdoor lovers and hobby photographers.  On a two and a half week Nova Scotia vacation we roughly shoot six thousand photos. This time we will stay for four weeks and we hope that our hard drive capacity will last until the end of our vacation. We are already counting the days until our Nova Scotia dream vacation starts, this is since September 2009 when we won the iLove Nova Scotia video contest. Since 1998 Joerg has been in Nova Scotia 6 times and Nicole his wife shared the last 3 times with him. Joerg calls Nicole his Moose whisperer as the first three times he was out of luck as he wasn't approached by any Moose or Deer on his hikes.

We love Nova Scotia and doing so it is bringing us back to Canada’s Ocean Playground nearly every second year now. Our favourite travel time is September/October, when leaves are starting to change the scenic Nova Scotia landscapes into a quilt of gorgeous autumn colours - it is like hiking through hills and mountains of gold, orange, green, red and brown. Breathing fresh air and listening to the sounds of the ocean and nature makes us feel really free and lucky.

We already hiked any official trail at the Kejimkujik National Park and the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, some of the trails even more than once. This time we will add the Kejimkujik Seaside Adjunct, Cape Sable Island, Brier Island, Cape Blomindon, Cape Split, Five Island, Cape George and many other places on our route through Nova Scotia. Follow us at our blog where we share some precious moments of our Nova Scotia dream vacation.

I think of Pinterest as a wonderful tool for vision or dream boarding. For many of us, our dreams often include travel and adventure. And for those who are part of our Nova Scotia online community, those dreams include a Nova Scotia. And so begins our adventure with Pinterest.

The big camping experience last winter was spending a night in a yurt at kejimkujik national park. The only problem was finding an open weekend to book one of the two Yurts at the park. With time running out, we booked a single overnight in late March at the Eel Weir Yurt.
