My grandparents are Newfie’s, I’m from Washington state. They used to come down all the time before my grandfather passed in 2015. He’s buried in Spaniards Bay. I remember they would have full on conversations in their slang and I would have NO idea what they were saying. Miss my grandmother, once this virus dies down, I’m flying home to get screeched in!

As a transplanted Newfoundlander , I love coming across these types of videos about this wonderful place I was born and grew up in. I MUST SAY THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS , you did a bang up job , so interesting to see places you visited, the food looked yummy, and your narration is superb. .

[@SleepySeaLion-ej6du]

I,m from Liverpool. England. Been to Newfoundland twice. The people are so friendly. A few of the older people, asked me, did I ever meet the queen, and princess Kate. So funny.

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

Haha that is so funny!

[@joang.6664]

A very high quality video and great tips on what to see, thank you !

I've seen so many beautiful summer sites in Canada recently!! Everything looks so natural and picturesque! I love comprehensive guides like this with so much info packed into one video!

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. As a Canadian there are so many places in the country we haven't even been to yet but so glad to have made it out to Newfoundland this year. Serious beauty that's a bit of a hidden gem :)

[@ogrider2738]

Thank you for posting the shoots about Newfoundland!! I'm recently corresponded with my 25 year-friend from Newfoundland through messanger. I'm Japanese, so both of us talk about our country again, then I tried to check your You Tube out this time!! Much respect from Japan!!

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

Heyyyy Anton! Thanks for watching bud :) I hope you're doing well! Where do you think you'll be able to hit up on your East Coast trip this year? Newfoundland is definitely on the very end of things but if you can fit it in, I highly recommend it!!

[@TheJourneyest2016]

Never even thought of this place as a must go to but it has me incredibly intrigued. So much rich history in Canada and I am sad to say I have not touched it that much and I need to! Great footage loved the colored houses.

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

Only in recent years has Newfoundland really been making a big push in the tourism industry. We see commercials for it all the time and so a chance to FINALLY go as a Canadian was a big deal. Now I can see why people say it's such an amazing province.

[@Areyudumb]

Wow, lol enjoyed the video changed my mind on wanting to go over there.

[@travisconnor8227]

Got engaged on one of those cliffs by the dungeon.. Newfoundland is my favourite place to visit

Amazing!! I did something similar in Iceland but going to Newfoundland made me think about how similar some of the landscapes are.

[@nataliecolbourne7741]

There is an awesome new Brewery in Pilley's Island... Bumblebee Bight Inn and Brewery... Italian wood fired oven pizza, craft beers and some of the nicest rooms ever. Plus, it's in rural NFLD... away from the typical tourist places...the people are amazing.!!!!

What time of the year were you there? This was back in May and it was still chilly with all the wind.

[@CheeseOnEverything]

Awesome vid bud! Candy got the chance to go, but I haven't been yet, maybe one day i'll go visit the east coast.

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

Thanks for watching guys! It's a pretty special place. It's one of those places where you go and wonder "wow I should've come here way earlier". I think what I learned was that you don't need to go overseas to see this type of landscape. We have it right here in our home country :)

Great video. I live on the west coast, and while I think St. John's and surrounding area is stunning, the west coast and the northern peninsula have so much to offer as well. Don't forget about the viking settlement in L'Anse aux Meadows. Rent a car, you won't wanna miss any opportunity to stop for scenic photo ops. Glad you enjoy our island. #Nltourism

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

Aww thanks for watching! I will admit that there's SO MUCH more to see in Newfoundland. I definitely have to do L'Anse aux Meadows next time around and of course everywhere else I missed. #ExploreNL :)

[@visitnewfoundlandandlabrad7881]

Great video

[@sniptheelftiktok]

Ahem... Most eastern point in all of North America! Not just in Canada ;) awesome video! Love the quality and the drone shots in Quidi Vidi. On your next trip (because we know you'll be back!) here are some places I would recommend Port de grave - google search port de grave Christmas lights! Harbour Grace - historic fishing village (and Amelia airheart stoped there during one of her flights!) Fogo Island- just doing a Google image search will make you wanna come back Terra Nova Nature Park Gander - museums, the town in the musical Come From Away L'anse Aux Meadows - viking settlement Gros Morne Nature Park - some of the most picturesque hiking trails around! Glad you enjoyed your first trip!

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

That’s right!! Thank you. We had such a great time and do hope to go back soon. Thanks for all of the suggestions - super helpful!

[@thatcarguytim4394]

@Going Awesome Places : Love the video! Grew up with neighbours from Newfoundland and visited when I was a kid. For sure want to go back! FYI - Cape Spear is the most easterly point in North America, not just Canada! Can't go any further east in North America! You're closer to London than you are to Vancouver, BC!

[@travelpockets]

I've been wanting to visit Newfoundland for awhile because it's one of the locations that the puffins migrate too :) But now I know there's so much more to do!

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

Yasss that's right! Although sadly the puffins weren't there in force in May, it's a beautiful place to head to. For me it was reminiscent of Ireland and Iceland but in Canada!

[@delusion_nitro5987]

Plz don't go it's a terrible place I live there

Looking forward to seeing some of these places in a few months!

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

You're going to have an incredible time!! Hopefully you found this video helpful :)

[@milenkostadinov8702]

We've technically followed your steps a few weeks ago and in 4 days we were able to confirm all your sharing about places to visit, eat and sightsee. Can't thank you enough for sharing such a valuable information as we had quite a short long weekend escape and the fact that we were able to plan everything allowed us to travel over 1000km and take some stunning and breath taking photos. The only thing I can add for anyone willing to join Newfoundland is to do so (if possible) in the end of June/ beginning of July as that would guarantee the visitors that they will literally see the little cutie creatures (famous Canadian Puffins) to crawl around their feet in Bonavista. We already plan our next trip but would love to drive from Quebec to Labrador and join St-John again to see all our new friends we've made and taste again the famous locally crafted iceberg beer ;)

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

Thank you so much for sharing. It’s truly incredible there right? I’m glad you found this helpful!! We missed the puffins too so we’ll have to plan a future trip :)

[@BottomFeeder10]

Awesome! What time of year did you visit? Looking to go in October, wondering about the weather!

[@skipper4114]

Nice video Will. As someone from there and who was in the tourism business for 14 years I hope you get a chance to see more of Newfoundland. Most will say that there is St John's and Newfoundland as St John's doesn't really represent true Newfoundland and I will agree to that. Top places to see while there are St John's ( City life), Gros Morne national park ( Mountains and fjords), Trinity/ Bonavista ( Fishing culture, museums etc) and Twillingate (whales, Icebergs, FIshing culture, museums) my favourite.If you ever go back let me know. Cheers

[@GoingAwesomePlaces]

Thanks for watching!! Yes I know, I really wish we had more time in Newfoundland & Labrador and got to venture out from our radius of what we could do from St. John's. Was definitely impressed we got to go as far as Bonavista as a lot of people said it couldn't be done. Will definitely be travelling back at some point and when I do I'll be giving you a shout :)
