Everyone knows that the best writers are storytellers. The best speakers are storytellers. The best museums tell a story. The best coaches are storytellers, the best leaders are storytellers, the best salespeople are storytellers. My favorite podcasts, (Moth and TED Talks) are storytelling podcasts.

The fly fishermen sitting next to me have been coming to Country Haven Fishing Lodge along the Miramichi River in New Brunswick for decades.

“But what is there to do for 4 days on a houseboat vacation?” I asked Dalene and Pete one day when we were chatting on Facebook planning our upcoming trip to New Brunswick. “You just relax,” Dalene answered in a somewhat surprised that-was-a-stupid-question tone.

St Andrews by-the-Sea is an idyllic maritime town in New Brunswick bolstered by the famous Algonquin Resort established in 1889. The moment you see the Algonquin in St. Andrews, you’ll feel like you are in a time warp. I felt as if I had stepped right onto the set of Dirty Dancing, with this old-style […]
“Whiskey makes the bagpipes sound better, “ said Frank our whiskey tasting MC for the day.
