🤯Wow, what an incredible journey you took us on with this dashcam video of your Ontario to Newfoundland road trip! Your budget adventure across scenic landscapes was truly inspiring and filled with breathtaking views. From the southern Ontario's green fields to to the serene landscapes of Newfoundland, every moment was a delight to watch. Your storytelling and editing skills kept me engaged throughout the entire journey. Thank you for sharing this unforgettable travel vlog with us. It's ignited a sense of wanderlust in me, and I can't wait to embark on my own adventure!

This motorcycle trip will be more of an overview of Canada -- my wife and I are planning to go to Newfoundland together later and spend more time. The reality of the West coast is that it is cheaper to fly into the US and to Hawaii than it is to fly to parts of Canada.

The biggest draw back is our Ontario home. We don't feel we can leave it empty and unattended that long. Which yes brought up moving all together.??? but winter in NFLD can be brutal.

I have actually documented much of the trip, including the places we camped on my blog: yula.ca/eastern-canada/ Camping is not allowed 'just anywhere', we were mostly in remote areas, or parking lots that allowed overnight parking. We used an app on our phone called 'iOverlander' to find spots. I do hope you can travel soon, pictures and videos just do not do it justice.
