I work at the Green Gables house as a tour guide, musician and actor! I'm glad you enjoyed your trip, I feel so lucky to be born and raised on such a beautiful island :)
+Jeff Thompson yep! this is the original house LM Montgomerys cousins lived in, and is redecorated according to the descriptions in the novel using 1800s antiques from around PEI
I'm actually rather interested in moving to PEI. From what I've seen of it, it seems to be a lovely, small, unique and slow paced province. How friendly is it there overall would you say?
Pretty friendly. :) It's not like a big city where you just walk and keep to yourself. A lot (not all) will at least give a smile walking past. It's nice. :)
astromonkey5000 thanks for all your valuable information! I have wanted to visit since forever! PEI has always been a dream since I read the Anne novels. Which month would you say is the nicest, but also not congested with too many tourists. Also, is diversity welcomed in PEI? Thanks!
I just came back from a trip to PEI in May. I love, love this place! I've been to many places in NA, but PEI is definitely the best place to live and enjoy life! You get to live a modem life, but still stay close to the incredible beauty of nature. This is a real heaven.
We live in Charlottetown, I and my daughter. We love it here, people are so nice, so lovely. We also are lockdown during this period, but luckily we just have 27 cases and all of them recovered.
I dreamed of visiting there the grass was so green the flowers smelled so beautiful and the birds sang a song as I walked through a meadow in the distance I could see Anne's house! I wish I could never leave that place!
If and when you ever return, be sure to check out The Dunes Gallery and Cafe, Orwell Historical Village, Point Prim Lught House and Point Prim Chowder House. Born and bred Islander, so it usually is a case of not seeing the forest for the trees , however we run a small B&B and during the Summer we here over and over just how amazing our little Isle is. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
I had fun watching your video. The changes are striking since I was last there in 1965 as a 16 year-old pedaling a bicycle from Maine! Mahalo (thank you) from Hawai'i.
I'm from Prince Edward Island, and I have been to pretty much every place you were to. It's a beautiful island, and I watched this video to remember most of it. I moved across the country recently, and believe me. Driving is NOT the best way to do so. Anyway, loved the video bro.
I HATE the fact you have to pay to get off Island, because of that I haven't left the Island since I was 3 years old. I'm glad I'll be able to go off island this summer for the first time in FOREVER, so I can actually see what people mean by Pei has red dirt cause I can kinda see it but to me that is what all dirt looks like. Oh, well the video was pretty good, it shows some of the great stuff about Pei!!!
That is ridiculous you have to pay to get off. The tourists should have to pay to get on, not you to get off. That would be like if I had to pay to leave my hometown/ home state.
I searched to watch this because of the series cartoon of Anne of the green gables, charlotte, etc...those are the lovely places that i want to go to... Love from the Philippines
I went to P.E.I. in 1986. My husband's family is from there. I wanted to move there so bad, but my husband wanted to stay in Ontario. There was no bridge back then. His dad's family was from Alberton, and his mom's family was from Tignish.
the first shot on the island (the one with the fields and trees) is just a few minutes from my house! If you're ever back, let me know and I can give you a few local places to check out!
The City is beautiful and Fisherman's Market is the main attraction! Thank you Peter for shedding light on the most picturesque places in Canada! My home!
Living here it is interesting to see the shallowness of this tourist experience. Looks like it was a great time, and I'm sure it is similar to the experience of many Anne fans who visit our beautiful province, but there is so much more to see and do!
The nature is beautiful. PEI locals are friendly. The best season is spring and summer from April to Oct. The rest of year is cold, rainy, and snowing. Seafood, shrimps, lobsters, and mussles are tasty. Vegetables are ok. Other foods are prepcked and procesed. Very disappointing. Anne of Green Gables attractions are touristic and boring. Reading the book suffices.
I've been infatuated with Canada sense I was old enough to read and comprehend I'd swear I was a Canadian in a past life all the videos I watch about different places up there and old Canadian TV shows and commercials I'm gonna get out of south east Tennessee one of these days I'm 32 now and still never been up there but I will make it one day and hope to meet some friendly faces when I get there
I'm just now seeing this... I was planning a trip there this year (2020) but you know.... COVID-19. I was going to fly into Boston and catch a cruise to Nova Scotia, PEI then up through the St. Lawrence waterway back down to Quebec City, then fly home. I've never seen that part of the world and was so looking forward to it. Thanks for the great information!
Really enjoyed this, the film, the insights, Thank You. Planning to ride the Confederation trail, and roads if they're not too hazardous for bicyclists, and Airbnb about.
If you want to travel the Wood Island ferry, use it to get ON to the island rather than OFF since it is more expensive than the bridge. Even with a motor home, getting on is free. If you have a knitter in your gang, get and follow the "fiber trail" map. If you are doing any reasonable amount of travel in Canada, get a Parks Canada Discovery Pass. On PEI it is good for the National parks and the Anne stuff. If NS is part of your plans you will easily be able to use the rest of your cost then you still have a year to exploit it.
it's just cool that you got to visit Canada! I'm a Floridian and I visit other states but almost only other southern states, the last five states i visited (and this is over the course of a few years) were Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and one northern state Illinois, and it was mostly just staying with family so I didn't get to see much of those states either, don't get me wrong I love the south and I think my region gets a bad rap. but I really want to branch out and travel more, what do you think would be a good starting trip to ease myself into it?
Wonderful, informative video! 💖 This has been on my wishlist to visit since I was a child, as I was brought up on the Anne series. However, I'm disabled and chronically ill now and can't travel, so I've been completely voyeuristic and enjoyed your travels instead! Thank you! 😊 I'd love to see an update if you ever go back and visit the places mentioned in the comments. I live in Australia but have always felt really drawn to PEI and Canada in general. I only made it to Niagara Falls once. I think there are certain paves in the world that speak to us, fit our values and ideals, suit our physical preferences and give us peace. I'd love to find that place and move there for the rest of my life. I wonder if this was it?!
They charge you everytime you leave and reenter the park?????? They don't give you a pass that's good for the WHOLE DAY?? Wow, what a messed up park system.
enforcer jj that is not that weird what if u go in the park then leave and then give it to someone who didn’t lay then they can just simply walk into the park without paying and if u think that is weird then u will probably not like the fact that u have to pay to cross the Confederation Bridge
I wrote a novel too also in PEI to be published soon Gods willing. Historic. Tried my best doing a wide deep research on such a quiet and beautiful island .. the climate, history, terrain, vegitation...etc... I suggest you do the same. One thing tho.. how did you mean ‘futuristic’? As the plot takes time somewhere beyond 2020? Feel free! Fiction is fiction and people appreciate a great escape found in pages of a quite appealing book. Best wishes.
Although the content of the video is very interesting to me, I cannot watch this video as the camera is moving so fast - it's making me feel very dizzy.
Great video! Thanks for all the information. I am considering a trip to PEI next summer (2019). It sounds very expensive. When were you there? Aside from the jellyfish, were you able to swim in the water? (Was it warm enough to swim?)
Hey I live here come around July water isn’t as warm as Jamaica 😂😔😔😉😉😉but it’s worm go to basin head !! Busy but suck a great day there, also go to cavendish beach great stress and not noisy time ❤️✌🏻✌🏻
Man, I think you are much better at travel vlog than reviewing products! (No offence) BTW, Have you watched Anne with an E at Netflix?? It's a real heart melter - a true masterpiece! . You should really watch it if you haven't and make a review video on it.
truthfully I heard that the Island was really small..interesting...I"VE also heard something horrible (not sure if its true, i hope not) but i heard that the whole island smells like Rotting Potatoes. I don't believe it, but thats what I've heard. its crazy.
nope.... wrong, i live there. the air smells very fresh, in the winter it smells..... like nothing.... but in the summer it smells like green grass and flowers
The Diamond sword Thanks ....thats beautiful. I was sad to hear that and thought THAT IT could NOT possibly be true.how can a whole island smell like rotting potatoes. That stupid things people say...such idiots.. I hope to visit soon.
This is my childhood dream to go to Prince Edward Island because I love the story about Anne of green gables and it coming soon in July
Is anyone else watching this IN pei
watching this in pei
As someone who lives on PEI, I find it kind of boring, but it's great to hear that city folk like it!😊
Joseph Cole u aint missin much. People are people. Enjoy your life.
i was lookin for takin admission in holland college, have you heard of it, and is it a great place to learn?
@Jodi L the grass is always greener.
I get that. My hometown is also a beach town that caters to tourists. I hated living there! The grass is always greener for sure. I love PEI, though.
I work at the Green Gables house as a tour guide, musician and actor! I'm glad you enjoyed your trip, I feel so lucky to be born and raised on such a beautiful island :)
+Rachel Moore such a beautiful place! You're so lucky. We want to go back soon!
this green gable house is the actual house the author's grandparents's cousin lived, then was made over to resemble the house in the book?
+Jeff Thompson yep! this is the original house LM Montgomerys cousins lived in, and is redecorated according to the descriptions in the novel using 1800s antiques from around PEI
i really enjoyed my visit here, I went through the haunted woods to buy the 8 Anne Books, and got them stamped saying where I bought them!
You are a liar.
I lived on prince Edward island since I was born
Please help me to get there I have applied so many time in many way spend lots of time and Money but just don't work out 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😬😬😬😬😬

Winter..not so nice!

what s the coldest it can get during winter
How far is green gables shore from charlottetown?
@@liba About a 30 minute drive.
@@threedogslong Thanks. We had our tickets and hotel booked when the lockdowns started. Our trip will have to wait until next summer :(
Unlike most people in this comment section, I am not from Charlottetown, I am from Tignish, where fishing and lobster catching is HUGE!
Bruh, I'm from Summerside
Until I can visit, this is the next best thing!
~A HUGE Anne fan 💐
Love it! I became one after my trip.
If and when you ever return, be sure to check out The Dunes Gallery and Cafe, Orwell Historical Village, Point Prim Lught House and Point Prim Chowder House.

I was actually planning on returning this year but now maybe next summer. Your suggestions will populate my list!
Panmure Island! Murray Harbor North, Cape Bear....best of the " real Island"
I had fun watching your video. The changes are striking since I was last there in 1965 as a 16 year-old pedaling a bicycle from Maine! Mahalo (thank you) from Hawai'i.

+Tori Provost thanks! Obviously, I loved PEI. Amazing place!
Somebody seems proud of his wife :) (With good reason) Seriously, great vid! That Green Gables house is unbelievable. Thanks for posting!
the bridge, is from province of New Brunswick to PEI.

God bless
I hope I can get back sometime! There were so many other places that I didn’t get to check out! And I’m crazing Cows creamery.
Thanks for this. Moving to PEI in August from the Bahamas.
+Lorraine Cartwright I love PEI! Congrats!
Omg your gonna love it I'm 12 and my fav part is the safety lol cause there no tornados and wore lol
+Bella_vancolen I hope so. Def looking forward to the safety and peace of mind
Lo Cargill what part are you moving to? are you from jamaica, haiti?
Lo Cargill wow that’s a drastic change of scenery! Good luck!

Wow! I love how informative this was!
My mom grew up in PEI and she said they never had seafood, which I thought was so weird since they're surrounded by water.
+Sharon I was surprised too, but it made sense the more that I learned about it. I guess I was expecting it to be like the New England area.
@@petervonpanda Back in the day... Lobster was for poor people. Baloney was for the wealthy.
This summer we visited PEI. PEI is a beautiful place to visit.
You never mentioned Summerside or Prince County area. Beautiful places. Literally all of PEI is breathtaking with many places that are memorable.
Incredible VLOG. Very well spoken, articulate and informative, Thank you
I live there, I love it. It’s great
the first shot on the island (the one with the fields and trees) is just a few minutes from my house! If you're ever back, let me know and I can give you a few local places to check out!
+Nevin Clark I would love to go back. Hopefully soon!
Thank you taking the time for to post, we're heading there in a couple days!
There are lots of treasures to find in Canada’s smallest province.
OMG my house was o this !!!!lol I live beside Anna's house so
Bella_vancolen wow how does it feel living and raising there? How does it feel when you was a child? And how does it feel now?
I live in Nova Scotia, I have travelled PEI and it is very pretty!
+Brian M I visited Halifax and some other cities before PEI. Loved it! Absolutely loved the waterfront boardwalk in Halifax!

harder to find now too
Actually the Lucy maid house is still up I would know I live in pei
The bridge is 9 miles long
