Meet Elias, Your Window to Newfoundland's Heart
Elias is more than just a fisherman; he's a keeper of stories, a guardian of traditions, and your personal connection to Newfoundland and Labrador. With a lifetime of experiences etched into the lines of his face, Elias brings you tales that span generations and capture the essence of island life.
In his letters, Elias shares not just his own memories but also the collective wisdom of his community. He writes about the changing seasons, the ebb and flow of island life, and the enduring spirit of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. His words carry the salt of the sea and the warmth of a kitchen party, transporting you to the heart of his beloved homeland.
Each month, Elias will share his NEWFIE NOTES - notes from his Adventure Journal. It might be a hand-drawn map of his favourite fishing spots, a puzzle he found along the way, or a recipe for Jiggs' dinner passed down through his family. These thoughtful inclusions bring his stories to life, allowing you to be part of the action with him... living the richness of Newfoundland's culture.
Through Elias' letters, you'll discover the Island, not as a tourist, but as a cherished friend, invited into the intimate world of island traditions and timeless connections.
Maggie embodies the resilience and warmth of Newfoundland itself. After years of putting her family first, she's now reclaiming her sense of adventure with the same determination that saw her through countless challenges. Her laugh lines tell of joys shared, while her calloused hands speak of a life lived fully.
Through her letters, Maggie invites you into her world of newfound freedom and rediscovered passions. She writes of impromptu road trips along the coast, of learning traditional crafts from village elders, and of the simple pleasure of watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky. Her words weave together the threads of Newfoundland's past and present, creating a tapestry rich with personal insights and universal truths.
Each month, Maggie will share something from her NEWFIE NOTES - her Adventure Journal. It might be a picture of a swatch of hand-knit wool from her latest project, a map of secret berry-picking spots, or a recipe for her irresistible moose stew. These connections bring her stories to life, allowing you to experience the textures and flavours of her journey.
Despite her wanderlust, Maggie's heart remains deeply rooted in her community. Her letters are peppered with anecdotes of Sunday dinners with family, impromptu kitchen parties with neighbours, and the enduring friendships that have supported her through life's ups and downs.
Through Maggie's eyes, you'll see a Newfoundland that's both timeless and ever-changing, a place where adventure and tradition walk hand in hand along the rocky shores.
