For non-Canadian people, Halifax is way easier to get permanent residency than other provinces. The thing is they leave the city and move to bigger cities(Toronto or Vancouver.. etc) right after they get their PR or citizenship.
Would love some info and help with this if anyone is able to have a chat with me? I live in the UK and want to move to Canada. Just don’t know where to start!
Wow 🤩 five hours from the UK 🇬🇧 and the Caribbean. I’m looking forward to moving to Halifax as a migration option and videos like this are very helpful, Halifax looks like an awesome city! Regards from Mexico City, Mexico 🇲🇽. Saludos desde la Ciudad de México, México 🇲🇽
I first moved to Halifax in 1984 to attend St. Mary's University in the south end. Since then I've traveled the world and lived abroad for over a decade. Of all the great cities I've visited and lived in, Halifax is my absolute favourite....what a city! Since the eighties Halifax has transformed into a truly world-class city. Loads of fine dining, night-clubs, universities, beaches, entertainment....and much more. It has a big city feel because of the massive suburbs and concentration of business, gov't and industry in this capital. It's educated, sophisticated, dynamic and culturally-evolved. This city can be too exciting if you're young and a party-person...It's laid-out for a GOOD-TIME...with the concentration of bars, restaurants and entertainment facilities. A hidden cultural mecca.
I grew up there in Halifax. I had an amazing childhood playing in the ocean. But ive traded that for the Mexican Caribbean, turquoise warm stunning waters. Nice to revisit my home ❤
Not sure what we were expecting but this wasn't what we imagined Halifax looking like 🤷♀️🤷♂️ thanks for showing us around guys! We would really love to visit Canada someday 😁
I've learned so much. Thank you so so much. I'm moving to Halifax in November and this video just got Me super super excited!!! I'll go see your other videos on Halifax & Nova Scotia. I can't wait!!! 😁💃💖
I've travelled around our province, but you are showing me some lovely spots I've never visited. So much more to see! Glad you are enjoying seeing the 'silver lining' in our pandemic!
I haven't spent this much time here in Nova Scotia, so prior to this I would have been surprised to hear so many people want to move here. But after the last 12 months when people say this to me I can now understand it. I guess it just took me decades to appreciate.
It took us decades to appreciate it as well 😀 Now we're not shocked at all that so many folks want to move here. It's been a blast exploring our own backyard that's for sure - Trevor
Hey, I live in Cape Breton Highlands @ the Cabot Trail, I love my small acreage and encourage visitors from away, but I also worry that folks that come here will try to change our island way of life. Many of our families have been here many generations and would love to see more growth, I pray the people who come here love it as much as we do and will prosper. Failte (welcome)
Hi Faith. We're really curious what you mean by that exactly. How would folks moving to CB change your island way of life? Most people that are moving there seem to want that slow paced island lifestyle from what I can tell. I believe those numbers of folks moving are quite low too as most people are moving Halifax. I grew up in Cape Breton myself btw. Thanks for watching 😀 - Trevor
We bought 20 acres in Cape Breton and we are moving in May there from BC. Starting an organic sheep farm :) My dream. Look forward to the quiet island life.
It's funny that I lived in Nova Scotia for 2 years but moved to Ottawa because I got a new job, and now after thinking about things I wanna move back~ TvT The people were quite friendly and the food oh the foooood.... ❤
Ooh I've never been the first to comment before. What a city!!!! being so close to the ocean is beautiful, and it's all so clean looking. It's certainly on my to visit list thanks to all your videos. Hope you are both doing well.
@@rubywong7061 I Always say the only thing that Halifax doesn't have is a subway.ha ha!. It's much smaller city only about half a million people, little bit less. I think it's easier here to get work. Buying a house is cheaper. Police are friendly. Down side. Not many all night Tim Hortons. Very safe to walk around here.
It is on my bucket list to visit the Maritime provinces especially Halifax. As a Canadian especially as worldwide travel may be restricted for a while. Never mind Toronto as Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities in the WORLD. AS an early senior maybe Halifax might be an option to retire. Anyways a BIG thumbs up!
We have only been to Martinique Beach once but had a really cool life experience there...it was around 6 yrs ago. My hubs got to help rescue a beached dolphin/porpoise. We were there with his best friend from high school and they were in their late 60s. To do so much with your life and still have once in a lifetime experiences is just the best.
I lived in Halifax for 15 years loved it...everything you need is there...lived I Truro..and also Charlos Cove...and also Charlottetown PEI...the Maritimes are awesome!
I live in Cape Breton (about a 4 hour drive from Halifax) and always love going for trips there. Great shopping, nightlife & everything. Moving there for school in September 👍
It's great that Halifax is growing. But as someone whose lived in HRM my whole life, it's frustrating to see people coming from far and wide driving up real estate costs. I was finally at a point in my life where I could afford a house but now with the real estate market going crazy, I just can't compete. Everything is a bidding war and everything is selling for WAY over asking price. I guess we'll just have to wait for a little longer for the market to crash or something :/
The market is going crazy indeed. We almost lost our new place last minute ourselves with competing offers. I luv seeing the city grow as well but it's so hard to buy a home right now it's almost not worth trying. Thanks for watching! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers We've put the house hunt on hold for the time being. Last place we bid on was listed @200k, we went in at 240k , lost to someone at 265k. It's crazy !
@@shayjohnson5830 haha yes, that's what I'm holding out for ! We arent getting gouged on rent for the time being so Im content with just waiting for now. Fingers crossed its sooner rather than later !
Getting to Nova Scotia from Western Canada is very expensive. People here would rather go somewhere else. Hope it is affordable and would definitely love to see that part of Canada.
The river at the musq. Hbr trail is nearing the end for most kayakers🛶 to the bonus rapids(short), best after rain. Many go miles up steam (around 80kms) and camp along their way down. There are sites people have set up (free-just leave cleaner then you arrived) for camping. Great kayaking adventure for anyone. Another great video ❤️👍
Hi Trevor and Anna, last year we stayed at Liscombe Lodge, lots of activities there. Make sure you take the trail leading to the falls and the hanging bridge.
Nice video! I lived in Halifax for 8 years. My only bone with NS is the lack of doctors. I'm so used to having access to doctors and hospitals now, I don't know if I could go back. Still, I'd have never left NS if I had found a good job there. Wonderful place to live.
I live in Musquodoboit Harbour and run that trail daily! The locals call it the musquodoboit trail, and it was formally the location of the Canadian Pacific trainway. They ripped up the tracks and made it into a walking trail after it closed down.
Hi! I'm a lash artist from Toronto where the market is saturated. I'm wondering if I'd do better in Halifax? Do many women there get lash extensions? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Anna & Trevor, good video congratulations....Thanks for giving to all the people information about this amazing province. I came here with my family three years ago and each day we discover, new places, nice people and a prosperous future for our children.
Loved this one guys! That beach is amazing! I have not been to mainland NS nearly enough (other than a dart out to Costco). Halifax is a gem of a city and would make an awesome home for sure.
I want to move to Halifax Nova Scotia. It all looks amazing. I’m a huge fan of the channel and as much as I love watching your travels far and wide, these staycation videos are stunning. I find myself daydreaming every Sunday of a better life in Novia Scotia.. thanks Anna and Trevor .. it truly looks delightful 👍
All smiles watching you two, very refreshing. I appreciate the New Scotland pride, enjoy your travels 😊 Just got to the point where you were talking about property prices, my home is on 6 acres and is 120 years old, 60k, 8 years ago, easily 250 now, self built house down the road that was worth about 300 is now listed for 600. Not a good time to buy in NS, for us anyways lol
We're in that group of people wanting to move to Nova Scotia. Trying to decide between Halifax and Yarmouth. You might be feeling down because you can't travel, but I can say, selfishly, that it's been great being able to watch all this great content you've been posting from the east coast. Smile and be grateful for this time you've been given to explore close to home.
Awesome, I haven't been to East Coast and I'm from Montreal. Once covid rule relax, this might be my next vacation this summer. Thanks for this video..:)

Hey guys. Don’t want to break the Nova Scotia vibe because I live here and was born in Halifax but 56 years and counting, all I can say is Don’t think this 20/21 winter was the norm. Winters in NS vary widely. There may be a trend toward milder winters and warmer summers in recent years but, as we say... 5 miles or 5 minutes makes all the difference in weather here. Loving your Nova Scotia journeys
Oh we know.. we're both from NS and we know how winter goes. But.. each year seems to be getting slightly warmer. We will take it. That's all we are saying. We're very warm here compared to most of Canada. Glad you are enjoying the vlogs 😀 - Trevor
New viewer here thanks to RUclips recommendations. I've lived in Halifax for about 7 years now and quite enjoy it. My favorite thing is the biking trails. A lot of former rail lines have been turned to long biking paths. I live in Clayton Park and there's connection to the Rails to Trails path only 10 minutes from my place. You can apparently bike all the way to Yarmouth (south shore of NS) via the trail. I especially recommend renting some bikes at the Bike & Bean in Upper Tantallon and maybe bike to the beaches that are about an hour bike ride away.
Thanks so much for the great videos Trevor and Anna! This is my first time commenting. I live in the HRM and found your channel a couple months ago. I subscribed and binge watched all your videos from last year when you were stuck in the Philippines when the pandemic hit. Such scary times... glad you are back home and doing well now. Very smart idea to be safe and stick close to home until things get safer around the world. I am really loving your Nova Scotian travel videos... we live in such a beautiful province and it's so cool to see it through your eyes! It's made me fall in love all over again with our province... safest place in the world right now. Can't wait to see what new videos you'll make about life in Halifax and NS... so many amazing places to explore.
Yay we always love when we hear from someone for the first time 😀 Thank you for all the kind words. We have some big plans in the works in NS. We can't wait to share the details. There's going to be a whole lot more videos on Halifax coming up - Anna
I’m moving to Halifax next year in 2023 and a little skeptical of the stigma of no jobs there but I think it’s improving.from Vancouver and can’t take it any longer, Wish me luck on this next adventure
You two are EXCELLENT ambassadors for your city (HALIFAX, NS.) the other "MARITIMES" (ie. Sister Canadian Provinces for those who don't know the "setup" in the "GREAT WHITE NORTH".) as well as for your beautiful homeland of CANADA too. Very nice video for a very nice place.
Haven’t finished watching this but it’s looking good so far, I’ve lived here for almost 18 years so I have been to Citadel Hill, etc countless times, but one thing I’ve never done is the Harbour Harper lol that’s still on the bucket list🤣btw, the highest point in Halifax is the soccer field of the BMO Soccer Centre in Clayton Park! There is the saying that Halifax is “built on a hill”, and as you move out of downtown and travel literally “up” to Clayton Park you will clearly see that it is all uphill, and very steep at some points haha. PS: I love it here in Halifax!!! Moved here from Ontario when I was 4 years old so it’s all I really know. I love the whole vibe, it’s an exactly perfect cross between a city and a community. Sometimes you can go around all day without seeing anyone you know, but you can also walk into a random Sobeys or Walmart and see like 5 people you know haha good times🤣
Great video, when I recover from the pandemic (it's tough now) I'll send some support you're way so you can continue to bring us great videos from Nova Scotia and the world. Near that railway museum is a really good roadside ice-cream hut. I saw the letters (ar-me) on the lighthouse so I typed "ar-me lighthouse" without the quotes into Duck Duck Go and the first link showed that it is in Brittany, France. I think Cowie Hill is the highest point in Halifax. How the winters have changed--I'll be dating myself but I remember several decades ago it was not uncommon for winters to be cold enough that cars would drive on that inlet in front of your B & B. And that is salt water with strong tidal action! I've been liking your Halifax, and all of Nova Scotia, videos but for the sake of you two and your channel I hope you get to hit the airways soon.
Hey, thank you for the video. I'm from Halifax, and visited for the first time in twenty-three years in 2018. I left when I was nine, so it was a bit smaller than I remembered it - you could actually walk a lot of Halifax. Anyway, would have been great to see the Halifax harbor, The skate park near the Common, Dingle, the bridge to Dartmouth, the two universities, the site of the 1917 harbor explosion, and more. But, again, much appreciated.
Just stumbled onto this, a year after I rented an air bnb farmhouse in Middle Musquodoboit for a month. So I will top your comment that I think Martinique Beach is the best in the province. I found a gourmet food store in Musquodoboit Harbour, the fish truck stops every Thursday with fresh catch, and even pop up clothing retail trailers in the high season. The shore drive east to Sheet Harbour and onward if you are heading to Cape Breton is a must. Taylor’s Head beach was recommended to me by my host as his favourite. Even better than Martinique! I would revisit here versus the south shore any day.
Taylor Head Beach in my opinion is the most scenic. Except for the temps you would really think you were in the tropics. Also the South Shore has some spectacular beaches. Honestly Martinique is nice, but by far on even close to being one of the best. Check out Ingonish Beach in Cape Breton. It’s not too awful far from your Tiny Home.
We have got to get to Taylor Head at some point. Ingonish beach is okay but not our fav honestly. We prefer the beaches on the west side of CB 😀 - Trevor
Beautiful scenery. Really nice house rental. Would love to visit Halifax. It costs more to travel in my own country, its expensive for me to travel there from Manitoba. Nice video, thanks and take care.
Hi! I’ve just discovered you. Congratulation! Very high quality of video and you are very dynamic. Just a suggestion to help people who English is not their first language… It would be great to write the name of the places you present at the bottow because sometimes, I can’t hear them clearly. Keep going!
Great vid guys as always! Question for Anna, where did you get your tie dye sweater in this vlog, I love it! Greetings from Woodstock, ON to our NS neighbours with hopes of being able to travel our great country this summer!
Last summer I was able to find a fantastic land deal of 1.25 acres, 200 m from the ocean, located on the south shore of NS for only $25,000. A bonus for me is that it has power and sewage. The tiny home may be salvageable but the Atlantic bubble has prevented me from checking it out yet. Can’t wait to get there!
I've lived here all my life and I'm 56 and I've never been to Martinique Beach! I have to check it out this summer! We have friends from Texas we are hoping will be able to get here to visit. Thanks for your video!
Definitely not moving here because there is actual Healthcare. Usually no more than 3 ambulances available in the entire province at any one time. You won't get a family doctor. You won't receive any mental health assistance worth anything. You are likely to die before an ambulance reaches you. They take an hour to 90 minutes to get to people. Quite a few have died while waiting for an ambulance to arrive. If you are always healthy and never get in an accident, Halifax is a great city.
Be aware that if you want to move to Halifax and Nova Scotia in general good luck finding a place the live at the moment. There are quite a few new apartment buildings going up but there is a huge shortage of places to live. I have grown up here and can't imagine living anywhere else. Welcome to anyone who wants to live here... It's people from all over the world that make a city great. Another great place that is close to the city is the ski hill that you can be riding up the lift inside of an hour.
It's still possible to find a place to live for sure. That's why the downtown core is booming. That said, the supply is low on rentals at the moment - Trevor
Your rental cottage looked great with all the windows, and the location seemed perfect. I loved the red-ish metal bridge and the train depot, as well as the beach at the end of the vlog. And if you have to be in a cold climate, NS looks like a great place to be "stuck".
Not a fan of seeing the same people constantly, but it happens. I lived in a city of 1.5 million (now 2.5 million) in Oz and it was incredible how often I would run into people I knew during my lunch break. 400-500k is an ideal size for a city but sadly they are usually victims of their own success and that was definitely the case with Brisbane - anyone who grew up there in the 70s/80s would barely recognise the CBD now. 180-degrees away from Halifax in almost every way but a graphic illustration of how quickly population growth stresses infrastructure. Thanks for the video.
Actually we have the best seafood here in Nova Scotia!!!..The Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia has the absolute best lobsters because of their rocky shoreline and cold waters.😁❤️🇨🇦
I am here because my wife just woke up this morning and said "Let's move to Nova Scotia!" Thank you for the video, indeed an ideal place to raise a family...
Amazing vlog as always! Glad you got to check out Martinique. :) And I agree that Halifax seems to have a nearly perfect blend of big city and nature. Love it here! The Citadel is the highest point of downtown Halifax. There's a rule that none of the buldings can block the view of the harbour from the Citadel at its highest point...though I've seen some of the newer buildings bending that rule a bit. If you're looking for a beautiful hike, look up Duncan's Cove. It's a rocky trail along the ocean and it has a couple abandoned WW2 bunkers there. (Might be WW1). Also York Redoubt along the way to Duncan's Cove is a hidden gem if you want to see some old giant cannons and fortifications. Anyway, keep up the good work! :)
Martinique was great! I meant to say the peninsula when I asked if it's the highest point 😅 A lot of people say the north end (close the mackay bridge) is higher. Somehow we've never been to Duncan's cove and we use to live out that way. York Redoubt is a gem indeed - Trevor
is there somewhere I can find a full list of outgoings, not just utilities but do you have to pay council tax (covers garbage disposal, cleaning streets, local services)
Worst black flies and tics season in the country from may to July keeping you indoors after winter and if you have dogs it’s a major problem as well.And that’s throughout the province.Also horrible healthcare and lack of doctors is making it hard for me to want to live there.And I have seriously been wanting to.
There’s a six km beach at Taylor’s head with eight kms of trails around the headland with a 1.2 km beach in the bay as nice as Carter’s beach just another thirty minutes out. Taylor’s head provincial park.. plus just past Martinique is clam harbour
Was in Halifax in 1982. My ship pulled for a joint US Canadian exercise, had a great time and hope to visit again. Is the Split Crow still open? Had my first Alexander Keith's pale ale...one of my favorites
Looks nice but I think I will stick with Victoria, on the opposite side of the country. Prefer the milder weather, no bugs, mountains and massive trees. Close to a major city also.Unfortunately, just about everyone wants to live here judgeing by rent and homes starting at a million.
OMG. I happened on this video because I watched another of your beautiful travel videos. You will never guess where I live... Musquodoboit Harbour 🤣🤣. I had no idea that you guys even lived in Halifax... this is too funny. Great job showing all the great features of downtown Halifax, and of the gorgeous rural village of Musquodoboit Harbour! Did you know that the Airbnb property you stayed in is now for sale? It sure is beautiful. Cheers from a new subscriber.
Cost of living in Halifax seems outrageous now. Real estate is not our of reach like in Toronto, but considering the price of houses outside of city are same as Calgary, AB which is 1.4mil population city with different wages and opportunities its just too much. I checked Halifax real estate, houses that sold in 2017 for 220,000 is now selling for 370,000. That is not a normal appreciation and it can cripple some if prices fell down and you have this expensive mortgage on cheap property. Its way overvalued.
Hi there guys I 've been following you guys now and have been thinking strongly leaving On and moving my family looks amazing there I love the rural areas I am an ex commercial fisherman and would love to get my sea time back ! Particularly fond of the east shore.
Skyview Terrace is a small street near the intersection of Lucien dr and Dorothea dr. The nearest landmark would be Iona Presbyterian church. It's in Woodlawn, Dartmouth. It's ok, we in Dartmouth know Halifax people only cross the bridge at Christmas to do some shopping. We don't expect you to know your way around. 🤣🤣🤣
Great video! NS looks so beautiful! I live in Sweden and it reminds me a lot of the Swedish west coast with the rugged coastline with small fishing villages and the lobster. Really want to visit someday!
At 10:40 you ask about the lighthouse mural on the wall. Here's the answer: "Ar Men is a lighthouse at one end of the Chaussée de l'Île de Sein, at the west end of Brittany. It shares its name with the rock on which it was erected between 1867 and 1881." It's a popular wall mural available from Ikea.
As someone who lives in Halifax, stop moving here. You're making it incredibly difficult for everyone else. Nova Scotia use to be pretty affordable, but with this massive influx of new people, landlords have been hiking rent up to unfordable rates for locals to accommodate wealthier visitors, can't even buy a house as people out province are buying them up 50k-100k over the asking price. Bad enough that most jobs are low paying compared to other provinces, but now the cost of living is becoming much higher then what the wages reflect.
I have lived here a year and a half and find the food very disappointing! While you are correct about the seafood being amazing, there are not many choices for ethnic cuisine! We have only found one decent sushi place in Dartmouth and it was so expensive! One restaurant with decent Chinese and still have not found a really good Indian or Thai restaurant. Coming from the west coast of Canada where things are very expensive, we were shocked at how expensive everything (but gas) is living here. So please, be honest with people about living in Halifax and surrounding areas.
Hello. I have lived in North America for 2 y. The freezing winters are so depressing . Then the mud, freezing rain. 3 to 4 months of the year. Ok to visit, but to live in this environment rest of your life, not for me. I live sunny Australia, sunny beaches , blue mountains, great life style, have No heating costs, No need bulky clothes, Humans love the sun that's why we love to travel to warm sunny places.
In Halifax Regional Municipality the highest point is barely in HRM! It's an unnamed hill in some rural area outside Hubbards called Simms Settlement! Which is about 241.9m high.
Calgary is much better. Calgary has the fastest growing tech, finance and film industry. Recently Tech giants Infosys, Mphasis and RBC has made announcements about their headquarters or offices in Calgary. Many Hollywood companies are filming moving in Calgary because of its proximity to mountain 🏔, skyline 🏙 and lakes all they need. Calgary is also world’s cleanest and most livable city. Calgary is also sunniest city in Canada. I am already seeing some of my friends and family members who work from home moving to Calgary from BC or ON. We will see more of this trend in coming years.

that's the same case for Charlottetown AND Winnipeg as well. Halifax is not exclusive to this

You are welcome here as soon as covid travel restrictions are lifted. I’m sure you will love it like we do.

How is it living in Halifax now?
Great video, very informative. You guys are great! Love the Drone footage, & absolutely love Nova Scotia
It is on my bucket list to visit the Maritime provinces especially Halifax. As a Canadian especially as worldwide travel may be restricted for a while. Never mind Toronto as Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities in the WORLD. AS an early senior maybe Halifax might be an option to retire. Anyways a BIG thumbs up!
Thank you Calvin! This city would be a great place to retire in 🤗 - Anna
We have only been to Martinique Beach once but had a really cool life experience there...it was around 6 yrs ago. My hubs got to help rescue a beached dolphin/porpoise. We were there with his best friend from high school and they were in their late 60s. To do so much with your life and still have once in a lifetime experiences is just the best.
Wow what an experience indeed. You'll never forget that one 😀 - Anna
Cheers from Nova Scotia, I am going to produce new videos from Halifax soon :)
I lived in Halifax for 15 years loved it...everything you need is there...lived I Truro..and also Charlos Cove...and also Charlottetown PEI...the Maritimes are awesome!
Thx for the video! I love Halifax/Dartmouth. Best place in Canada from my view. Love to return to Halifax one day!
We just made the move in December 2020 due to my hubbies job. It has been an incredible experience so far!
Amazing! Where did you move from? - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers sorry for delay. We moved from Ottawa, ON. We are loving it. We already have a little Shanty in Mill Cove now as well.
I live in Cape Breton (about a 4 hour drive from Halifax) and always love going for trips there. Great shopping, nightlife & everything. Moving there for school in September 👍
Trevor is from Cape Breton 😀 - Anna
Fun (and informative) vlog! The drone shots of the beach were delightfully spectacular!
Thanks so much! 🤗 - Anna
Moving here in August from the English Halifax. Gonna be a cool experience it seems! Great video. :)
It's great that Halifax is growing. But as someone whose lived in HRM my whole life, it's frustrating to see people coming from far and wide driving up real estate costs. I was finally at a point in my life where I could afford a house but now with the real estate market going crazy, I just can't compete. Everything is a bidding war and everything is selling for WAY over asking price. I guess we'll just have to wait for a little longer for the market to crash or something :/
The market is going crazy indeed. We almost lost our new place last minute ourselves with competing offers. I luv seeing the city grow as well but it's so hard to buy a home right now it's almost not worth trying. Thanks for watching! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers We've put the house hunt on hold for the time being. Last place we bid on was listed @200k, we went in at 240k , lost to someone at 265k. It's crazy !
@@shayjohnson5830 haha yes, that's what I'm holding out for ! We arent getting gouged on rent for the time being so Im content with just waiting for now. Fingers crossed its sooner rather than later !
I’m on Vancouver island and houses are selling for $700,000 when then are worth $400,000. We have no hope. Kind of why I’m watching this video lol
@@sladey31 yup, same thing out here though it's starting to cool off a bit now. Just waiting for the big collapse now lol
Excellent video guys, been wanting to move back to Halifax, moved to Toronto 20 years ago, perhaps in another year or so. Keep up the good work.
We hope you can make it back here at some point! Though we do love TO as well - Anna
Getting to Nova Scotia from Western Canada is very expensive. People here would rather go somewhere else. Hope it is affordable and would definitely love to see that part of Canada.
It's the same here. Getting out west isn't cheap so most people vacation locally or TO - Trevor
Moved here recently and seriously we are in LOVE with this place now. And seriously people dont know alot about it at all
So glad you like it here. We'll have another video on Halifax this Sunday! - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers thanks
Waiting
The river at the musq. Hbr trail is nearing the end for most kayakers🛶 to the bonus rapids(short), best after rain. Many go miles up steam (around 80kms) and camp along their way down. There are sites people have set up (free-just leave cleaner then you arrived) for camping. Great kayaking adventure for anyone. Another great video ❤️👍
That sounds like so much fun! We didn't know you could do that there. The whole area on the eastern shore is beautiful - Anna
Hi Trevor and Anna, last year we stayed at Liscombe Lodge, lots of activities there. Make sure you take the trail leading to the falls and the hanging bridge.
Nice video! I lived in Halifax for 8 years. My only bone with NS is the lack of doctors. I'm so used to having access to doctors and hospitals now, I don't know if I could go back. Still, I'd have never left NS if I had found a good job there. Wonderful place to live.
@@shayjohnson5830 I imagine so. But not nearly enough.
I live in Musquodoboit Harbour and run that trail daily! The locals call it the musquodoboit trail, and it was formally the location of the Canadian Pacific trainway. They ripped up the tracks and made it into a walking trail after it closed down.
We are such big fans of that area now. Can't wait to go back when it's hot and beach weather - Trevor
Hi! I'm a lash artist from Toronto where the market is saturated. I'm wondering if I'd do better in Halifax? Do many women there get lash extensions? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
@@beautybabelounge3024 absolutely, lash extensions are all the rage. Come visit us and check it out. Cheers!
Hi Anna & Trevor, good video congratulations....Thanks for giving to all the people information about this amazing province. I came here with my family three years ago and each day we discover, new places, nice people and a prosperous future for our children.
It's so great to hear that you and your family are really liking NS Camilo 😀 - Trevor
Loved this one guys! That beach is amazing! I have not been to mainland NS nearly enough (other than a dart out to Costco). Halifax is a gem of a city and would make an awesome home for sure.
Up until mid 2020 and this year we haven't really explored too much of the mainland either 😀 It's been a lot of fun - Anna
Beach is awesome, maybe in 50 years with global warming it might be warm enough to swim in.
I want to move to Halifax Nova Scotia. It all looks amazing. I’m a huge fan of the channel and as much as I love watching your travels far and wide, these staycation videos are stunning. I find myself daydreaming every Sunday of a better life in Novia Scotia.. thanks Anna and Trevor .. it truly looks delightful 👍
We so hope you can make it here Kazza. Where are you watching from? - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Hi Anna, I’m from London England x
Not wanted or welcome.
All smiles watching you two, very refreshing. I appreciate the New Scotland pride, enjoy your travels 😊 Just got to the point where you were talking about property prices, my home is on 6 acres and is 120 years old, 60k, 8 years ago, easily 250 now, self built house down the road that was worth about 300 is now listed for 600. Not a good time to buy in NS, for us anyways lol
We're in that group of people wanting to move to Nova Scotia. Trying to decide between Halifax and Yarmouth. You might be feeling down because you can't travel, but I can say, selfishly, that it's been great being able to watch all this great content you've been posting from the east coast. Smile and be grateful for this time you've been given to explore close to home.
We're so glad you're enjoying the videos. It's been great travelling locally and we're having a lot of fun doing it 😀 - Anna
@@curmudgeonaf We're waiting until husband is retired to move for that very reason.
Not wanted or welcome.
Awesome, I haven't been to East Coast and I'm from Montreal. Once covid rule relax, this might be my next vacation this summer.
Thanks for this video..:)
What a great video! We are falling in love with Halifax & NS. Cannot wait to visit! Drone shots were stunning! Beautiful place to live! ~Cara 😊
You would both really enjoy it here. It's the perfect sized city and very walkable with a great food scene 👌 - Trevor
Great video. My husband was born in Berwick and he's dying to move back. He says "the East Coast is calling me home" 😊
We hear that from so many folks. Hope you can make it back! - Anna

I watched a lot of blogger people everywhere,but I'm not a blogger, thanks 👍
Thank you for making a great video of my home ....such a delightful place!!! Born and raised here and I will never leave!
Hey guys.
Don’t want to break the Nova Scotia vibe because I live here and was born in Halifax but 56 years and counting, all I can say is Don’t think this 20/21 winter was the norm. Winters in NS vary widely. There may be a trend toward milder winters and warmer summers in recent years but, as we say...
5 miles or 5 minutes makes all the difference in weather here.
Loving your Nova Scotia journeys
Oh we know.. we're both from NS and we know how winter goes. But.. each year seems to be getting slightly warmer. We will take it. That's all we are saying. We're very warm here compared to most of Canada. Glad you are enjoying the vlogs 😀 - Trevor
Better views than last time⭕️
I’m gonna buy your cookbook and eat better than last time
Hey that’s my doctor!
New viewer here thanks to RUclips recommendations. I've lived in Halifax for about 7 years now and quite enjoy it. My favorite thing is the biking trails. A lot of former rail lines have been turned to long biking paths. I live in Clayton Park and there's connection to the Rails to Trails path only 10 minutes from my place. You can apparently bike all the way to Yarmouth (south shore of NS) via the trail.
I especially recommend renting some bikes at the Bike & Bean in Upper Tantallon and maybe bike to the beaches that are about an hour bike ride away.
Hello new viewer! Welcome aboard. We know where the Bike and Bean so we may just have to try your suggestion 😀- Anna
You guys are amazing!
You need to see Carter's Beach. It is our Caribbean beach in Nova Scotia!
We're hoping to get there once the weather warms up 🤗 - Anna
Actually Taylor’s head is less well known and just as close to halifax as Carter’s on the eastern shore
Wow those beach shots 🏖️ Thx for the reminder to get outside today. Great video 🎥
Thanks Jenny! Maybe try Martinique Beach 😉 It's quite the day out there - Trevor
Thanks so much for the great videos Trevor and Anna! This is my first time commenting. I live in the HRM and found your channel a couple months ago. I subscribed and binge watched all your videos from last year when you were stuck in the Philippines when the pandemic hit. Such scary times... glad you are back home and doing well now. Very smart idea to be safe and stick close to home until things get safer around the world. I am really loving your Nova Scotian travel videos... we live in such a beautiful province and it's so cool to see it through your eyes! It's made me fall in love all over again with our province... safest place in the world right now. Can't wait to see what new videos you'll make about life in Halifax and NS... so many amazing places to explore.
Yay we always love when we hear from someone for the first time 😀 Thank you for all the kind words. We have some big plans in the works in NS. We can't wait to share the details. There's going to be a whole lot more videos on Halifax coming up - Anna
Hi Colleen how're you doing today...?
I’m moving to Halifax next year in 2023 and a little skeptical of the stigma of no jobs there but I think it’s improving.from Vancouver and can’t take it any longer, Wish me luck on this next adventure
Good luck.. there are jobs there btw! - Trevor
You two are EXCELLENT ambassadors for your city (HALIFAX, NS.) the other "MARITIMES" (ie. Sister Canadian Provinces for those who don't know the "setup" in the "GREAT WHITE NORTH".) as well as for your beautiful homeland of CANADA too. Very nice video for a very nice place.
Haven’t finished watching this but it’s looking good so far, I’ve lived here for almost 18 years so I have been to Citadel Hill, etc countless times, but one thing I’ve never done is the Harbour Harper lol that’s still on the bucket list🤣btw, the highest point in Halifax is the soccer field of the BMO Soccer Centre in Clayton Park! There is the saying that Halifax is “built on a hill”, and as you move out of downtown and travel literally “up” to Clayton Park you will clearly see that it is all uphill, and very steep at some points haha. PS: I love it here in Halifax!!! Moved here from Ontario when I was 4 years old so it’s all I really know. I love the whole vibe, it’s an exactly perfect cross between a city and a community. Sometimes you can go around all day without seeing anyone you know, but you can also walk into a random Sobeys or Walmart and see like 5 people you know haha good times🤣
Great video, when I recover from the pandemic (it's tough now) I'll send some support you're way so you can continue to bring us great videos from Nova Scotia and the world. Near that railway museum is a really good roadside ice-cream hut. I saw the letters (ar-me) on the lighthouse so I typed "ar-me lighthouse" without the quotes into Duck Duck Go and the first link showed that it is in Brittany, France. I think Cowie Hill is the highest point in Halifax. How the winters have changed--I'll be dating myself but I remember several decades ago it was not uncommon for winters to be cold enough that cars would drive on that inlet in front of your B & B. And that is salt water with strong tidal action! I've been liking your Halifax, and all of Nova Scotia, videos but for the sake of you two and your channel I hope you get to hit the airways soon.
We'll get back on the road this fall I hope 😀 I also think you're right about Cowie Hill being the highest point! - Trevor
I love Canada 🇨🇦 touring and travel
Thanks for bringing this to us I really do appreciate. I've always considered Halifax
Hey, thank you for the video. I'm from Halifax, and visited for the first time in twenty-three years in 2018. I left when I was nine, so it was a bit smaller than I remembered it - you could actually walk a lot of Halifax. Anyway, would have been great to see the Halifax harbor, The skate park near the Common, Dingle, the bridge to Dartmouth, the two universities, the site of the 1917 harbor explosion, and more. But, again, much appreciated.
This makes me miss home. So much.
Just stumbled onto this, a year after I rented an air bnb farmhouse in Middle Musquodoboit for a month. So I will top your comment that I think Martinique Beach is the best in the province. I found a gourmet food store in Musquodoboit Harbour, the fish truck stops every Thursday with fresh catch, and even pop up clothing retail trailers in the high season. The shore drive east to Sheet Harbour and onward if you are heading to Cape Breton is a must. Taylor’s Head beach was recommended to me by my host as his favourite. Even better than Martinique! I would revisit here versus the south shore any day.
That area is such a great part of NS. We’re so glad you like it! 😀 - Trevor
Thanks for showing us this area. It's great to get insight from locals.😊
Our pleasure!
Taylor Head Beach in my opinion is the most scenic. Except for the temps you would really think you were in the tropics. Also the South Shore has some spectacular beaches. Honestly Martinique is nice, but by far on even close to being one of the best. Check out Ingonish Beach in Cape Breton. It’s not too awful far from your Tiny Home.
We have got to get to Taylor Head at some point. Ingonish beach is okay but not our fav honestly. We prefer the beaches on the west side of CB 😀 - Trevor
Beautiful scenery. Really nice house rental. Would love to visit Halifax. It costs more to travel in my own country, its expensive for me to travel there from Manitoba. Nice video, thanks and take care.
Hi! I’ve just discovered you. Congratulation! Very high quality of video and you are very dynamic. Just a suggestion to help people who English is not their first language… It would be great to write the name of the places you present at the bottow because sometimes, I can’t hear them clearly. Keep going!
All of that information is always in the description area of our videos 😀
absolutely amazing and positive content guys, definitely subscribed hope to see you soon )))
The views are just mesmerising. Great job you guys 👌🏻👌🏻.
Great vid guys as always! Question for Anna, where did you get your tie dye sweater in this vlog, I love it! Greetings from Woodstock, ON to our NS neighbours with hopes of being able to travel our great country this summer!
Old Navy Sue! 🙈 I couldn't help it and I like that retro vibe - Anna
A friend just moved to Stewiacke a few months ago....can't wait to visit! NS looks beautiful! 😊
Last summer I was able to find a fantastic land deal of 1.25 acres, 200 m from the ocean, located on the south shore of NS for only $25,000. A bonus for me is that it has power and sewage. The tiny home may be salvageable but the Atlantic bubble has prevented me from checking it out yet. Can’t wait to get there!
Wow now that's a deal! Which part of the south shore? - Anna
I've lived here all my life and I'm 56 and I've never been to Martinique Beach! I have to check it out this summer! We have friends from Texas we are hoping will be able to get here to visit. Thanks for your video!
Definitely not moving here because there is actual Healthcare. Usually no more than 3 ambulances available in the entire province at any one time. You won't get a family doctor. You won't receive any mental health assistance worth anything. You are likely to die before an ambulance reaches you. They take an hour to 90 minutes to get to people. Quite a few have died while waiting for an ambulance to arrive. If you are always healthy and never get in an accident, Halifax is a great city.
Be aware that if you want to move to Halifax and Nova Scotia in general good luck finding a place the live at the moment. There are quite a few new apartment buildings going up but there is a huge shortage of places to live. I have grown up here and can't imagine living anywhere else. Welcome to anyone who wants to live here... It's people from all over the world that make a city great. Another great place that is close to the city is the ski hill that you can be riding up the lift inside of an hour.
It's still possible to find a place to live for sure. That's why the downtown core is booming. That said, the supply is low on rentals at the moment - Trevor
Your rental cottage looked great with all the windows, and the location seemed perfect. I loved the red-ish metal bridge and the train depot, as well as the beach at the end of the vlog. And if you have to be in a cold climate, NS looks like a great place to be "stuck".
Our rental was the best Doug. It faces west so the sunsets were out of this world. 😀 - Trevor
Thinking of moving out
I'm going to Halifax on Saturday
Not a fan of seeing the same people constantly, but it happens. I lived in a city of 1.5 million (now 2.5 million) in Oz and it was incredible how often I would run into people I knew during my lunch break. 400-500k is an ideal size for a city but sadly they are usually victims of their own success and that was definitely the case with Brisbane - anyone who grew up there in the 70s/80s would barely recognise the CBD now. 180-degrees away from Halifax in almost every way but a graphic illustration of how quickly population growth stresses infrastructure. Thanks for the video.
Looks beautiful. Are there any issues with bears? Should people consider bringing bear spray with them when they walk through the nature?
Not at all around major towns or cities. But if you get up into the highlands and into Keji it wouldn't be a bad idea to have bear spray - Trevor
I grew up in Halifax, and I’m in no hurry to go back! A word of advice “umbrella” !
Actually we have the best seafood here in Nova Scotia!!!..The Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia has the absolute best lobsters because of their rocky shoreline and cold waters.😁❤️🇨🇦
Yes Shelburne Nova Scotia is the lobster capital of Canada . Shelburne Nova Scotia also has the third best and biggest natural harbour in the world.
My mother was Canadian. I want to live in Halifax!
I am here because my wife just woke up this morning and said "Let's move to Nova Scotia!" Thank you for the video, indeed an ideal place to raise a family...
Kudos to New Scotia, hope to visit it one day, greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽🙌
Amazing vlog as always! Glad you got to check out Martinique. :)
And I agree that Halifax seems to have a nearly perfect blend of big city and nature. Love it here!
The Citadel is the highest point of downtown Halifax. There's a rule that none of the buldings can block the view of the harbour from the Citadel at its highest point...though I've seen some of the newer buildings bending that rule a bit.
If you're looking for a beautiful hike, look up Duncan's Cove. It's a rocky trail along the ocean and it has a couple abandoned WW2 bunkers there. (Might be WW1). Also York Redoubt along the way to Duncan's Cove is a hidden gem if you want to see some old giant cannons and fortifications.
Anyway, keep up the good work! :)
Martinique was great! I meant to say the peninsula when I asked if it's the highest point 😅 A lot of people say the north end (close the mackay bridge) is higher. Somehow we've never been to Duncan's cove and we use to live out that way. York Redoubt is a gem indeed - Trevor
is there somewhere I can find a full list of outgoings, not just utilities but do you have to pay council tax (covers garbage disposal, cleaning streets, local services)
Worst black flies and tics season in the country from may to July keeping you indoors after winter and if you have dogs it’s a major problem as well.And that’s throughout the province.Also horrible healthcare and lack of doctors is making it hard for me to want to live there.And I have seriously been wanting to.
There’s a six km beach at Taylor’s head with eight kms of trails around the headland with a 1.2 km beach in the bay as nice as Carter’s beach just another thirty minutes out. Taylor’s head provincial park.. plus just past Martinique is clam harbour
Was in Halifax in 1982. My ship pulled for a joint US Canadian exercise, had a great time and hope to visit again. Is the Split Crow still open? Had my first Alexander Keith's pale ale...one of my favorites
Yes, Split Crow is still here!
Looks nice but I think I will stick with Victoria, on the opposite side of the country. Prefer the milder weather, no bugs, mountains and massive trees. Close to a major city also.Unfortunately, just about everyone wants to live here judgeing by rent and homes starting at a million.
OMG. I happened on this video because I watched another of your beautiful travel videos. You will never guess where I live... Musquodoboit Harbour 🤣🤣. I had no idea that you guys even lived in Halifax... this is too funny. Great job showing all the great features of downtown Halifax, and of the gorgeous rural village of Musquodoboit Harbour! Did you know that the Airbnb property you stayed in is now for sale? It sure is beautiful. Cheers from a new subscriber.
Oh no way! That's too funny Laurie. We have quite a few videos on NS in general and yes ... we're based out of Halifax 😀
Amazing Halifax! Thank you for the time and effort on this video. So helpful and beautiful.
Cost of living in Halifax seems outrageous now. Real estate is not our of reach like in Toronto, but considering the price of houses outside of city are same as Calgary, AB which is 1.4mil population city with different wages and opportunities its just too much. I checked Halifax real estate, houses that sold in 2017 for 220,000 is now selling for 370,000. That is not a normal appreciation and it can cripple some if prices fell down and you have this expensive mortgage on cheap property. Its way overvalued.
Hi there guys I
've been following you guys now and have been thinking strongly leaving On and moving my family looks amazing there I love the rural areas I am an ex commercial fisherman and would love to get my sea time back ! Particularly fond of the east shore.
Skyview Terrace is a small street near the intersection of Lucien dr and Dorothea dr. The nearest landmark would be Iona Presbyterian church. It's in Woodlawn, Dartmouth. It's ok, we in Dartmouth know Halifax people only cross the bridge at Christmas to do some shopping. We don't expect you to know your way around. 🤣🤣🤣
Great video! NS looks so beautiful! I live in Sweden and it reminds me a lot of the Swedish west coast with the rugged coastline with small fishing villages and the lobster. Really want to visit someday!
and we'd love to visit Sweden someday! It's high on our list - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Highly recommended, especially the west coast with cities like Gothenburg and Strömstad!
At 10:40 you ask about the lighthouse mural on the wall. Here's the answer: "Ar Men is a lighthouse at one end of the Chaussée de l'Île de Sein, at the west end of Brittany. It shares its name with the rock on which it was erected between 1867 and 1881." It's a popular wall mural available from Ikea.
Thanks for letting us know Denis - Trevor
Wonderful video. Nice creation.
Great work friends.
Thanks TTV! - Trevor
As someone who lives in Halifax, stop moving here. You're making it incredibly difficult for everyone else. Nova Scotia use to be pretty affordable, but with this massive influx of new people, landlords have been hiking rent up to unfordable rates for locals to accommodate wealthier visitors, can't even buy a house as people out province are buying them up 50k-100k over the asking price. Bad enough that most jobs are low paying compared to other provinces, but now the cost of living is becoming much higher then what the wages reflect.
I have lived here a year and a half and find the food very disappointing! While you are correct about the seafood being amazing, there are not many choices for ethnic cuisine! We have only found one decent sushi place in Dartmouth and it was so expensive! One restaurant with decent Chinese and still have not found a really good Indian or Thai restaurant. Coming from the west coast of Canada where things are very expensive, we were shocked at how expensive everything (but gas) is living here. So please, be honest with people about living in Halifax and surrounding areas.
Go watch our our ‘cost of living’ video in Halifax. Also, if you find the food here disappointing you’re going to the wrong places honestly ✌️- Trevor
thank you for the upload
Hello. I have lived in North America for 2 y. The freezing winters are so depressing . Then the mud, freezing rain. 3 to 4 months of the year. Ok to visit, but to live in this environment rest of your life, not for me. I live sunny Australia, sunny beaches , blue mountains, great life style, have No heating costs, No need bulky clothes, Humans love the sun that's why we love to travel to warm sunny places.
Is there Jamaican food
Geizer Hill (Washmill Lake, Drive) in Bayers Lake is the highest point in Halifax! You're welcome haha.
In Halifax Regional Municipality the highest point is barely in HRM! It's an unnamed hill in some rural area outside Hubbards called Simms Settlement! Which is about 241.9m high.
Calgary is much better. Calgary has the fastest growing tech, finance and film industry. Recently Tech giants Infosys, Mphasis and RBC has made announcements about their headquarters or offices in Calgary. Many Hollywood companies are filming moving in Calgary because of its proximity to mountain 🏔, skyline 🏙 and lakes all they need. Calgary is also world’s cleanest and most livable city. Calgary is also sunniest city in Canada. I am already seeing some of my friends and family members who work from home moving to Calgary from BC or ON. We will see more of this trend in coming years.
toronto better
Yes but crime rate is a problem and traffic for that population is obscene.
Great video. I do believe the canvas of the lighthouse is in Bar Harbor, Maine
