Just travels: Planes, Trains and Automobiles Rebecca style…….Nova Scotia & America! 08/09 2018

The plan: Nova Scotia- Boston- New Hampshire- Philadelphia- Colorado- New Orleans- Texas- Belize

Nova Scotia: where they say aboot 🙂

After my martial arts travelling in Thailand, Cambodia and The Netherlands (Holland to us Brits), I decided to head off to Nova Scotia to see my friend for a week! Nova Scotia is a quiet little place in Canada where unfortunately, I didn’t get to go sailing but had an awesome time.

I was lucky enough to make some new friends courtesy of Linda (my fellow Muay Thai fighter) who were extraordinarily kind and so much fun; thank you James for putting me up, lunching with me, drinking with me, movie watching with me and just making me laugh the entire time- you’re a star. Thank you Kamila who took me riding in a beautiful, red, convertible Mustang- seriously wow!! Thank you Mahar for the trip to Peggy’s Cove, stopping off so I could get my beloved seafood chowder, the vegan lunch and the beautiful Jade bracelet for my safe travels and of course to Linda for getting me over to Nova Scotia at the most inconvenient time for her and still making time for me in between packing up your life and working.
