I once owned a home on an island off the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up in Pittwater, north of Sydney; Elvina Bay, Scotland Island area. I had to go to school by boat. To get to the mainland, we had to go by boat, so it was just a way of life.
I look at Canada like a second home.
In my life, I've had estates in Russia, houses in Spain, in Norway, in the deep south of America.
I spent my childhood in Newfoundland and then my junior high and high school years in Alberta, Canada.
I'm from Canada, and New Zealand feels like you took all the best bits of Canada and squished them onto a tiny island like Hawaii. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the South Island.
I grew up on a tiny little island.
It's funny, but we were living on this small island off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina when I was 9.
I grew up in a town called Cornwall, Ontario, which is about an hour outside of Montreal.
I grew up in Newquay, on the Atlantic coast and there developed a love of the sea and boats.
On my return to Cornwall I discovered that I was living in a tropical paradise. For now I am content to explore my own home and our nearest neighbour France.
