Yo its so weird for New Brunswick to get any recognition. Like holy cow...
ya New Brunswick never gets attention tbh it's AMAZING
Jasmine Delo i know like seeing places i’ve been being recognized is kinda weird in a good way lol.
Jasmine Delo right, and I’m from Moncton
Right! Its actually amazing
Thinking the same thing.

Born, raised, and still living here (Moncton). The tides will never get old. My fondest memories with my mom and dad (RIP Dad) are on the bay of Fundy. I remember my mom and I with a bucket collecting tiny shells on the sand, playing skeeters with shale rocks, watching flocks of sand pipers wisp about in the air (Dorchester Wharf, which is still bay of Fundy). We built our chimney for our house with massive stones from various beaches around new Brunswick. I remember walking with my parents when I was 11 picking what stones were best. Watching sunsets on the water, the familiar golden-orange hue. New Brunswick. My home.
Lovely memories, thank you for sharing!
amazing memory!
I just got married and I will will love to build my future in that great city..
Hey! I am moving to Moncton from Toronto! I want to know about the rent for a 1 bedroom!
I am originally from Halifax, and spent 7 years in Newfoundland, but when we were going to move back to Halifax, Maclean's magazine did a story on Moncton, calling it the number 1 small metropolitan city in Canada with over 100,000 people, due to the cost of living, low crime and complete amenities.
So on a whim, we decided to move here, on the outskirts a.k.a. Shediac 3 years ago, and we can not imagine leaving.
While Moncton may not be known for its tourism, that is actually Shediac's claim to fame. This is a tourist town just minutes away from Moncton, due to parlee beach, insane amounts of campgrounds and having the warmest ocean waters on this side of North Carolina.
But what keeps us here is the people. There's just such a overwhelming sense of contentment in the people.
I cannot imagine any other city in the world, where you can be stopped to a set of traffic lights, and the pedestrian waiting to cross the street, will simply smile and acknowledge you, and you just feel that they mean it. It's the same thing walking through one of the shopping areas. People passing you will simply smile, and you just know and feel that they genuinely care about everybody around them.
My God, there are over 20,000 people from Moncton in a Facebook group where its sole purpose is to give things you have to people who need them more than they do.
There's lots of beauty that surrounds it, but the beauty of character in the people of this area are what keep us here :-)
Yes, we are very community oriented here and people are very connected!
My wife and I are moving to Moncton in 3 weeks by way of San Francisco, where we’d been living for the past 5 years. After the State’s new administration in 2017, we laser-focused on obtaining permanent residency, and a year later, we got it. We purchased a home there sight unseen back in May. This video helped us to decide upon Moncton. It’s great to also read your comment on how incredible the people are in the area. We had originally put in an offer on a home in Shediac but it fell through. Looking forward to our new lives in such a beautiful country.
I spend the past year in Moncton as an exchange student from germany and can only agree with you
@@djinvinceable Did you guys manage to move there
Wow ! Wish i could live there...
It's so weird to see my home town on UA-cam!
im in China right now but i love moncton❤
man it is nice seeing people talk about my hometown and actually enjoy it
I live in the UK. I visited Moncton and Shediac, I loved my time there. Loved the places and people I met. I would like to go back.
Walks down St George: yea never mind
If you EVER come back I will plan the best Moncton trip ever full of endless amazing road trips
Emily Kristensen lol
i'll help too
I was born and raised in Saint john New Brunswick. Have lived in 3 other cities including Toronto. What I have found is that I miss my home town because the people are as you say totally welcoming. Hospitality is so great when you go back east. From east to west you will notice people are not as friendly as they are in Saint John, New Brunswick, Saint John's NFLD and Moncton. These cities offer excitement and the ocean view and places to swim are far more interesting and more fun than any place I know. I have even been to Thailand and Japan, although they are beautiful places to visit they are also scary if you are alone. Because I am Canadian I know the safe cities in this large country. I lived also in Toronto, North York and even China town and Scarborough and Jane and Finch. I have lived in Vancouver, I am living in Alberta and I must say the further east you go the hospitality gets thinner and thinner. Thanks for sharing.
It's all fun and cool until you drive down saint george
I mean every city has some areas that might be better avoided LOL
I love St. George! The fish market, Calactus, dolma!!! Come on!
I lived off Saint George and walked Saint George a few times at night. It is just your average downtown street.
@@saraparks222 Dolma's cakes are so good.
hahahhaaha IKR.
Man this comment section is wholesom, i was born in moncton and live in Petitcodiac now. Tbh moncton is a bit lame but its nice to see it
No way, I just graduated from Petty high school, small world
I've never seen a travel video about New Brunswick let alone MONCTON of all places! Lived here my entire life and I'm surprised someone has this positive/humble of an opinion about it! Make sure to check out a game at the Avenir Centre next time you visit!
Lol, I am actually planning on coming over there
This was such a beautiful reflection. I love hearing your thoughts about a place and I appreciate how much you saw in an unassuming place, how it gave you space to consider things like mortality and community. That is a different kind of loveliness.
I've never seen you here before. Do you live hear 😍
As someone who was born and raised in Moncton and knows all of these places like the back of my hand, this is very cool and very weird. I’m now attending the University of Waterloo and it is nice to see my hometown get some well-deserved recognition. I jokingly talk a lot of crap about it to my new friends I’ve met here since a lot of them don’t know really anything about Moncton, but I love my hometown and am proud to be from Moncton. Loved the video!
Proud Monctonian here, thanks for sharing the beauty of NB. Coming from someone who was rescued by helicopter because of the tides, yes high tide is scary!!
I live an hour from Moncton in between Alma and Riverside-Albert! I live 8 minutes from Fundy national park! The whole video I was live hey I know that place!
One thing that would've been cool to mention is the Bell Aliant Tower. Its actually the tallest freestanding structure in all of the Maritimes at 127 metres. (417 feet)
Right across from the library too.
It’s not that cool, it just a cell-phone tower
I'm from moncton myself, i live just on the outskirts now between moncton and shediac, and I absolutely love it here, the views , the folks, the little things in life ...i very much appreciate this video ❤ glad you had a chance to experience it here :D
Hello iam also planning to go to moncton
Nice to see some recognition and appreciation for my little province!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Thank you for showing the beautiful side of the area, the delicious seafood and the friendly people .
I got so happy for some reason when I saw that you drove down main street because I go down main street every day if you come back to moncton and I see you I'll be sure to say hi
Love this, it makes me happy to see and know that you enjoyed this place, it's so beautiful!
There is so much more in Moncton area you didn’t show I love to explore arround it for that fact it’s always changing
Its kool place..especially here in miramichi. Lot of unique nature here to
Earlier this month I visited New Brunswick for the first time and spent a few days in Moncton for the same reason as you - it's so close to so many great things to see if you have some wheels at your disposal!
I found the Hopewell Rocks and the Tides pretty amazing, too.
Glad you enjoyed your stay! I'm sure I speak for most Monctonians when I say we look forward to having you over again. You'll find there's plenty to do during the summer.
This was very nice to see! I'm currently living in the Moncton area, and it was just fascinating to see that someone would give attention to a place that doesn't have as much recognition as its small, and many hidden, treasures and potential.
Thank you for doing this, it welcomes inspiration 🤗💞
Man, your travel videos are always gorgeous! Definitely would love to go to Canada someday.
Thanks, Betty! Hope to see you here one day!
I love Moncton, it's been so long since I've been there. Usually I take a flight to Bathurst when I go and visit my family. If you love Moncton, you would absolutely love North Eastern New Brunswick!
I love In Riverview and I love it there is always awesome things to do year round
I'm from Moncton and it's a nice place just recently moved. Watching this gave me a ton of flashbacks.
This is cool! I honestly never seen any of your videos, but saw a friend post this video on her Facebook. Let me say that I think it's great that you had such a good time here!
I love Moncton and there's no place I'd rather live! Thanks for recognizing the awesomeness that is Moncton!
To anyone planning on visiting, come in July or August. It's the best time of the year to come, beaches and seafood prime time!
Love tide & boar. Great food. Great beer list. Moncton is awesome! Love visiting
Awesome story...thanks for sharing
Glad to see you're showing the world the amazing city I have been raised in
jeremiah Jones do you know what snitch means
What amazing city? You mean the dirty shithole known as moncton!
Speaking as a Maritimer, born in Moncton, who grew up in Halifax, and Currently lives in Charlottetown, after stints in Fredericton, Saint John, and the Annaoplis Valley in Nova Scotia, I can only say that I am fiercely proud to be from the Atlantic Provinces. Here, anyone can strike up a conversation with a stranger.
If you ever find yourself in Charlottetown again, you are always welcome in my home. That's how we roll.
I moved to Moncton at 24 from Winnipeg and I'm 40 now .all New Brunswick is amazing
your content is on point, so well done.
This was so beautiful! This makes me want to explore more around my own area, as much as I love traveling abroad.
Hello from Fredericton NB! 2 hours away from Moncton! It’s beautiful out here and the nature is the best aspect. Glad you liked the trip’
This is awesome.
I loved it! Thank you for these awesome videos.
YAY New Brunswick ^^ Hopewell Rocks is amazing - going there in the winter is super fun too ^^
The east coast is so pretty. Damn Canada, at it again with the nature.
I've always wanted to see those tides in the Bay of Fundy. I'm in. I'll go visit Moncton. Great job, and congrats on getting featured in Canadian Geographic! -Brian
Dorchester prison is close by - those who finished their jail term are all over on the streets, and the City of Moncton likes it hat way.
Come and see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm moving from BC to Bouctouche next month so I'm cramming in all the info I can. Thanks for this review 😊
Super cool! I'm from Charlottetown, PEI, and Moncton is definitely a city I can escape to with my friends when we need a night out. In the maritimes it's hard to find an affordable place that will both give you entertainment and a bit of an escape from your usual surroundings. I was almost shocked to see that you chose Moncton to highlight and visit in this video, but I'm so glad to see someone from more central Canada finding the beauty in the city.
I'm from Moncton, and I also escape too...to Charlottetown!! lol. This whole side of our country holds something for everyone. Charlottetown shouldn't be overlooked, amazing food, celtic music and nature withing a city.
I'm from Moncton. Respect to you man for the awesome video about the city I was born and raised in. Moncton is an amazing fun little city.
Beautiful video. Thanks 💜
I live in Bouctouche 😃 I’m originally from Shippagan, 2.5hours away from where I live now. I moved to Moncton in 2010 and loved it . I moved in Bouctouche in 2011 and I love being close to the city 😄 fun to see someone from a big city actually enjoyed a smaller one 🥰❤️
I just went there for a greade 7 trip for a couple days and we stayed in dorms and when to treego love it and I live 2 hours away from Moncton
YES THANK U SO MUCH I LIVE THERE AND PEPOLE JUST THINK SO BAD ABOUT IT BEFORE EVEN GOING THERE
That was really cool! I live here in Moncton and that was a great video, thank you for your kind words!
Yes!!! you came to the beautiful Bouctouche, we are so fortunate to be surrounded by water!!! That is Awesome 👏 hope you come again!!

I like the way you present your activities, short, precise, clear and real. Am from Calgary and I have been planning to visit Moncton for a very long time. Thanks for waking up my senses, am gonna pack my backpack now🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️
Thanks for the kind words. Enjoy!
Lol i love that moncton is called a small city, but is almost the biggest in NB... says a lot abt this province
It's part of the "NB Trio" with Saint John and Fredericton.
It's been the largest city in NB for 4+ years and largest metro for 10+ years.
But yeah every city in NB is a "small" city
I love road trips... flies to moncton
I am currently there now it’s cool
I live there since 2 years. I hope I never leave this place. I hope you come back soon! I want to see more stuff and maybe if we meet I will show you more !!
Wow, the ocean floor and seafood..I want to go to Moncton!
Highly recommended!
Thanks for showing some love to Moncton! At the end of the tour you will see a brick building that has a "Municipal Office" sign on the front. That is where I work - it is now the offices of the Albert County Museum! Come to Hopewell Cape one day during the summer and tour this historic site with buildings dating back to 1845.
Moncton is pretty grey at the moment, watching this reminds me just how pretty it can be ☀️ À la prochaine!
See you again one day!
gunnarolla I live here
Kayla Bryson YOU BETTER MEAN GRAY !!!!! 😠
Moncton is Dead!
awesome....
I suggest going back to Hopewell Rocks in the spring!! It’s so neat to walk around all of the big icebergs that never made it out with the water. I love living in Moncton!
Been west to east also! Amazing adventures in this country.
I can't believe you've made me want to visit Moncton ....
Elizabeth Travels Been there 20 or more times in my life, WILL NOT dissapoint! Beautiful city
Elizabeth Travels HAY I LIVE THERE

Thank you for sharing this video with me, Chelsea! (McKenzie College) =)
I love it!
Congratulations, Mr. gunnarolla!
glad you liked my hometown! I lived in Toronto for 10 years, and coming back home earlier last year was quite the feeling. This place ROCKS!!
+drumzomario it's the best!
It's beautiful place to live ❤️❤️
Happy New Year Moncton, Diepe and Riverview. You are the reason my heart beats faster.
When I graduated from the nearby Mount Allison University, I was as poor as a church mouse but I had good connections and my friend Matt was working with Irving planting trees in Amherst, Nova Scotia and wow, carrying the load of trees was painful but worth it because we got paid $10.00 per hour by then. But, it was just a seasonal job so we got laid off at the end of the summer of 2007. I was like a fish out of water and my friend, Jenna Hirtle(the laughing girl) helped me apply for EI but I was denied...so I moved to Moncton and my good friends, Kelvin Ndoro and his girlfriend at the time took me in for 1 month and got a job in 2 weeks and moved out in time. Good friends are like a lotus flower, the just inspire.
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed moncton cuz it’s amazing I’m from there!!!! 😄😄😄
I appreciate this work. This is what I really want to do for my own UA-cam channel. Travel all around Canada and explore and visit any city like Moncton. I'm just hustling right now to save up for those adventures. Thanks for the inspiration gunnarolla!
Thanks, Kenneth! Looking forward to seeing what you do!
Hhaahh Lise! Thank you,I enjoyed seeing my city through someone else's eyes..
Wow ! Moncton is really a great place
I'm going to a Exchange there, thanks for this video
This was so lovely! This was just a reminder: I need to go to Canada :D
It was nice to greet you, whilst you were hear.
Yay! My home province
so attractive city it is
Welcome to new brunswick! glad you enjoy moncton! i am from new brunswick but i have not been in some places you have been. lol.
love your video.
I feel a little late to the party. Glad you enjoyed our little city.
Amazing video Andrew. :)
This really makes me want to visit Canada. :D
I've travelled extensively in Canada. I've always thought if I could live anywhere in Canada where would it be? Moncton. I visited Moncton as part of a tour of the maritime provinces with my family in the mid 1980s. For me, Moncton is very similar to a city in my area - Greensboro, NC. Moncton is a moderate priced moderate size city with land to grow as needed. It is a major transit center with trains and highways connecting Halifax through to Montreal. It has plenty of coasts and forests. There are some mountains not too far away.
I am glad you enjoyed our city, it is one of the most beautiful places, if you are able to make it back here you will need to go to Alma and Fundy Park....
Yes, Alma is a great village with amazing history! Pick up some sticky buns and lobster and have a picnic in Fundy Park!
living in albert county its easy to see why we can have staycations here so easily :)
My favorite place in Moncton used to be our indoor amusement Park called Crystal Palace. That used to be my most precious gem of Moncton. No other amusement park compares ( be it the Crystal Mountain on Elmwood. Bowlarama on Gauvin or Magic Mountain, that fun atmosphere is not there). 😥
your right about the sunsets the whole eastern cost of nb is like that, sunrises too,
They are iconic!
Thank you for this video! My children, who love You Tube, were thrilled to see our city featured on your channel.
