Nova Scotia's Wandering Wilsons | Slow Travelling Canadas Atlantic Playground

They are  a family of adventure and fun ambassadors. They have circumvented our current pandemic by exploring Canada’s Atlantic playground, Nova Scotia.

They thrive on meeting the locals, exploring hidden adventures, chasing waterfalls, savouring Nova Scotia's Museums, learning the art of camping, discovering lighthouse trails as a guilty pleasure, making road trip lists and capturing it all in action photography; in hopes that  families, friends, newcomers  and Nova Scotians will get out and explore this ocean playland. More than that, they meet the greatest treasures of Nova Scotia, it's people. Nova Scotians have embraced and delighted them and been very kind to their little family.

They didn't decide to travel across Nova Scotia because of the pandemic, we thought Nova Scotia needed them wandering all over and discovering it's charms, so they could teach it's treasures to their little Nova Scotian, Nia.

Not too long ago they were business owners, who were overworked and tired, and adventures were few and far between. Today life is a lot different and we treasure our fun times together. Currently Dihlan and Nia are homeschooled and that allows flexibility for adventuring and chasing some good ole fun. David works as a medical equipment technician at CanMed and Natalie is a business advisor with the Centre for Women in Business and Student Entrepreneurship Program Manager at Mount St. Vincent University!

Their goal is for people to see that adventure is accessible for all families, to spark adventure in people no matter their age, and to be “ambassadors of adventure diversity”.

Mindful Family Travel Interview | Novel Excursion Family

We interview a Mindful Travel Family, the Novel Excursion and learn about their dream to start a not-for-profit through their journeys.

The Novel Excursion Family is a family of four (Michael, Amanda, Sarah age 8, Adrian age 11 months) who travel the world to learn, serve, and immerse themselves in different cultures.

They started Novel Excursion Travel to help families travel with purpose by inspiring people to be more mindful about their impact while traveling and being intentional with how they interact with a culture and environment.

Their vision is to change the world one nameless stranger at a time by bridging cultures through travel, education, and service. They are based in Devine, Texas (near San Antonio) and travel slowly each year, up to 90 days at a time.

Before returning to Texas for our families, they were based in Germany and traveled to 20 countries as a family. Collectively, we have been to 31 countries and 37 states.
