New Brunswick is often referred to as the "drive through" province, but that is changing. Our population continues to grow and more and more, individuals are making this a destination place, having discovered the natural wonders and fantastic tourist attractions that await. I am the NB Traveler focusing on upcoming events, information about natural and historical wonders, the journeys of past travelers, and even an occasional ghost story. It's the place for NB travelers and resident to learn and share! Because I live in Saint John, the focus is often on the southern part of the province.
