Exploring Acadian culture is one of our favorite things about being at our land in northern Maine and visiting the Canadian Maritimes. We were so fortunate that this year's Acadian World Congress (held every 5 years) was in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. We've been wanting to visit this area because Jason has family history there! We had an amazing week soaking in the music and culture of the Acadian people (and seeing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!). BTW, you’ll always find links to the places and resources referenced in our videos in the description below! ⬇️
Come explore RV life with us as we live and work on the road!
