EH Tourism Winter Writer’s Retreat

During the summer months, Bro has been researching the Atlantic Provinces searching for an ideal winter working base camp. It is during the winter that we retire the Travel Pods and take up residence in an accommodation. The accommodation acts as a base camp for the winter as we power down on keyboards, white boards and scratch pads creating, building and growing our CanadaEH.net Travel Network. It must be a positive environment for our creative juices to flow and prosper.

Our P.E.I. Backyard

Home Sweet Home this winter is at the Eberlee House (main Blog Photo) on Prince Edward Island, Canada – great hosts, clean accommodations and a beautiful marine setting. We are at the doorstep of the ocean on a dead end road.

There is a resident Blue Heron who visits on a schedule. Seagulls dot the sky – dive bombing at will.  Birds are singing, waves are slapping and the winds are blowing. The blues of the ocean, the purple sunsets and the red rock shores are welcome sights. It is a postcard setting that is ideal for work and creating.

Every accommodation comes with a Host. And not all Hosts are created equal. Not even close. There are Hosts who are negative, manipulative and possess no people skills. Then there are Hosts who are happy and genuine, always smiling and laughing, ozzing with positive energy, taking pride in their accommodation and the impression they leave with you.

A Host can make or break an accommodation. This year we scored big time as the Hosts of the Eberlee House are some of the nicest tourism industry people we have met to date on our cross Canada tour.

After 4 months of grunting along hiking trails, exploring Canadian cities, parks, lakes, mountains and rivers it is nice to finally put our feet up for another winter season of building tourism dreams.  We have learned soooo much more about Canada this year researching Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces.

Our Marine Views

This past summer we have accumulated over 10,000 more Canadian photos, 100+ hours of video and thousands of pages of literature and notes while traveling over 80,000+ kilometres of highways, byways and backcountry gravel roads. There is much to do and we have much to share with the global travel market. It is going to be a wild ride for sure!
