Nova Scotia
Why Go?
If provinces were mother Canada's children, Nova Scotia would be the cute kid who
charms the world with her lupine-studded fields, gingerbread-like houses, picture-perfect
lighthouses and lightly lapping waves on sandy shores. But then you put her in a hockey
rink or perhaps a fishing boat in a strong gale and another side comes out. Good looks
aside, this near island and her residents are tough, resourceful and bad ass; most enjoy a
drink, a song, a dance and a new face to share it with. If it's nature you're seeking, it's
easy to discover empty coastal beach trails and wilderness paths through mixed forest to
vistas with briny breezes. For something more cosmopolitan, head to Halifax for world-
class dining and a rocking music scene.
