Born, raised, and still living here (Moncton). The tides will never get old. My fondest memories with my mom and dad (RIP Dad) are on the bay of Fundy. I remember my mom and I with a bucket collecting tiny shells on the sand, playing skeeters with shale rocks, watching flocks of sand pipers wisp about in the air (Dorchester Wharf, which is still bay of Fundy). We built our chimney for our house with massive stones from various beaches around new Brunswick. I remember walking with my parents when I was 11 picking what stones were best. Watching sunsets on the water, the familiar golden-orange hue. New Brunswick. My home.

im in China right now but i love moncton❤
I am originally from Halifax, and spent 7 years in Newfoundland, but when we were going to move back to Halifax, Maclean's magazine did a story on Moncton, calling it the number 1 small metropolitan city in Canada with over 100,000 people, due to the cost of living, low crime and complete amenities. So on a whim, we decided to move here, on the outskirts a.k.a. Shediac 3 years ago, and we can not imagine leaving. While Moncton may not be known for its tourism, that is actually Shediac's claim to fame. This is a tourist town just minutes away from Moncton, due to parlee beach, insane amounts of campgrounds and having the warmest ocean waters on this side of North Carolina. But what keeps us here is the people. There's just such a overwhelming sense of contentment in the people. I cannot imagine any other city in the world, where you can be stopped to a set of traffic lights, and the pedestrian waiting to cross the street, will simply smile and acknowledge you, and you just feel that they mean it. It's the same thing walking through one of the shopping areas. People passing you will simply smile, and you just know and feel that they genuinely care about everybody around them. My God, there are over 20,000 people from Moncton in a Facebook group where its sole purpose is to give things you have to people who need them more than they do. There's lots of beauty that surrounds it, but the beauty of character in the people of this area are what keep us here :-)

My wife and I are moving to Moncton in 3 weeks by way of San Francisco, where we’d been living for the past 5 years. After the State’s new administration in 2017, we laser-focused on obtaining permanent residency, and a year later, we got it. We purchased a home there sight unseen back in May. This video helped us to decide upon Moncton. It’s great to also read your comment on how incredible the people are in the area. We had originally put in an offer on a home in Shediac but it fell through. Looking forward to our new lives in such a beautiful country.

I was born and raised in Saint john New Brunswick. Have lived in 3 other cities including Toronto. What I have found is that I miss my home town because the people are as you say totally welcoming. Hospitality is so great when you go back east. From east to west you will notice people are not as friendly as they are in Saint John, New Brunswick, Saint John's NFLD and Moncton. These cities offer excitement and the ocean view and places to swim are far more interesting and more fun than any place I know. I have even been to Thailand and Japan, although they are beautiful places to visit they are also scary if you are alone. Because I am Canadian I know the safe cities in this large country. I lived also in Toronto, North York and even China town and Scarborough and Jane and Finch. I have lived in Vancouver, I am living in Alberta and I must say the further east you go the hospitality gets thinner and thinner. Thanks for sharing.

As someone who was born and raised in Moncton and knows all of these places like the back of my hand, this is very cool and very weird. I’m now attending the University of Waterloo and it is nice to see my hometown get some well-deserved recognition. I jokingly talk a lot of crap about it to my new friends I’ve met here since a lot of them don’t know really anything about Moncton, but I love my hometown and am proud to be from Moncton. Loved the video!
Proud Monctonian here, thanks for sharing the beauty of NB. Coming from someone who was rescued by helicopter because of the tides, yes high tide is scary!!
This was such a beautiful reflection. I love hearing your thoughts about a place and I appreciate how much you saw in an unassuming place, how it gave you space to consider things like mortality and community. That is a different kind of loveliness.

Glad you enjoyed your stay! I'm sure I speak for most Monctonians when I say we look forward to having you over again. You'll find there's plenty to do during the summer.
Earlier this month I visited New Brunswick for the first time and spent a few days in Moncton for the same reason as you - it's so close to so many great things to see if you have some wheels at your disposal! I found the Hopewell Rocks and the Tides pretty amazing, too.
Man, your travel videos are always gorgeous! Definitely would love to go to Canada someday.

Love tide & boar. Great food. Great beer list. Moncton is awesome! Love visiting
I live there since 2 years. I hope I never leave this place. I hope you come back soon! I want to see more stuff and maybe if we meet I will show you more !!
The east coast is so pretty. Damn Canada, at it again with the nature.
Super cool! I'm from Charlottetown, PEI, and Moncton is definitely a city I can escape to with my friends when we need a night out. In the maritimes it's hard to find an affordable place that will both give you entertainment and a bit of an escape from your usual surroundings. I was almost shocked to see that you chose Moncton to highlight and visit in this video, but I'm so glad to see someone from more central Canada finding the beauty in the city.

Speaking as a Maritimer, born in Moncton, who grew up in Halifax, and Currently lives in Charlottetown, after stints in Fredericton, Saint John, and the Annaoplis Valley in Nova Scotia, I can only say that I am fiercely proud to be from the Atlantic Provinces. Here, anyone can strike up a conversation with a stranger. If you ever find yourself in Charlottetown again, you are always welcome in my home. That's how we roll.
I feel a little late to the party. Glad you enjoyed our little city.

Cool!
I've travelled extensively in Canada. I've always thought if I could live anywhere in Canada where would it be? Moncton. I visited Moncton as part of a tour of the maritime provinces with my family in the mid 1980s. For me, Moncton is very similar to a city in my area - Greensboro, NC. Moncton is a moderate priced moderate size city with land to grow as needed. It is a major transit center with trains and highways connecting Halifax through to Montreal. It has plenty of coasts and forests. There are some mountains not too far away.
It's beautiful place to live ❤️❤️
