Molly’s Must-See List – Atlantic Provinces Travel Bubble Edition

It goes without saying that 2020 has been a very strange year.

I personally kicked off January by moving to London, England and was expecting to be there until December. Well, in March I moved back to Prince Edward Island to ride out the pandemic in my home province. My dreams for any major 2020 travels were crushed.

Luckily, an Atlantic Provinces Travel Bubble (including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) began in early July. It allows Atlantic Canadians to travel within the region without the need to self-isolate for 14 days.

I LOVE travelling through Atlantic Canada (although I haven’t made it to Newfoundland and Labrador yet). There are so many amazing sights, bites, and experiences to take in. This list will share some of my favourite historic places you can check out on your “Travel Bubble” journeys.

*Make sure to pack some bug spray, hand sanitizer, a mask or two, and a bottle of water.*
