  Descripción

  My name is Joanne and I am the manager of a 14 unit motel in Smith's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada. The property is on a sandy beach just across the harbour from the town of Digby , which is world famous for our seafood, especially our scallops. The across Canada trail is just up the road from our Motel, and you can view the highest tides in the world from our property. There are many gardens, flowers , and shrubs and it is a beautiful and serene place to visit or live. There is a community bus which passes right in front of our property so that someone without transportation could travel around to different locations on their time off. We have wi-fi available on the property and cable for down times. My husband and I are both singer songwriters, and musicians and we often play live music on the property.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  My husband is a French Acadien, and speaks there ancient language, as well as Parisian French, and English. This area has a diversity of cultures from Micmac to the first settlers in this area in Annapolis Royal which is only 20 minutes from us and is an historic village which changed hands between the British and French many times. This area is one of the best locations in the world to go whale watching , and the scenery is some of the best in the world. The French Acadien villages are also only 20 minutes from where we live. Our National park is only an hour away , where there are interpretive talks as well as hikes to see Micmac hieroglyphics , there is deep sea fishing, farm markets where artisans sell there wears. My husband and I are both singer songwriters in the French Acadian and English language, and weplay several different instruments. There is The Habitation , only 30 minutes away where people are dressed in period clothes and doing jobs that were done in that period in history such as weaving, black smith's, bakers, etc. There are many museums in the area as well. Talking with the Tourists who come from all over the world will also be a learning experience for them as they will need to have knowledge of the area to be a help to those who ask questions.
