I'm the Alice timepiece that I've never been Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia! And this is Halifax, the start of my journey. Keys, please! I'm headed for Cape Breton Island to experience, from some of the people there, what makes this place in the world so unique.

Salmon fishing has been part of the fabric of the Mermaids all right back to 1865. What I enjoy most about it is the people that I meet and the ability to introduce you to the river. The views throughout here at Miller's are majestic. It's very, very rugged, but at the same time, it has an incredible beauty to it. That's probably my main source of inspiration.

This is the home of North America's first single monthly. The environment here is clean, pristine, natural. The people here are beautiful, kind people. You come out here and people always make you feel like you're at home, and I have found anything quite as feeling like home—that's called Scotia.

Alright, my journey is very highly moist. Check it out—a big place in about three minutes. That was massive! It's a slower pace, and there's a lot to be said for living somewhere where the pace is slow. It's always such a comfortable feel here, no matter where you go. You still sort of feel like you're in your own hometown.

I get to live and do what I love in a place that's so beautiful and just so great.

Nova Scotia, thanks very much.
