Honeymoon Canada

A production called Honeymoon Canada, which will take newly weds Rolf and Michelle through the seasons and province's of Canada.


Starting in the far east of Canada in the province of Newfoundland, we will work our way back across to the west over a period of one or two years. During this time our only refuge will be a camper loaded on the back of a pick up truck. Has the makings of a reality TV show don't you think? Our camper has the usual comforts such as a bathroom, dinette, kitchen, and comfy sleeping quarters.

At the end of Honeymoon Canada, there will be a book produced featuring the hidden secrets that we discovered during our travels together.

We will be keeping a travel journal in the form of this blog as a means to let our family, friends, and fans know what we've done and where we are. It will also act as a reminder for us of the adventures we have had and will have, in the years to come.
