This Is Newfoundland & Labrador

The Newfie Writer ⚓

I'm Stella, a former New Yorker who moved away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Now, I reside in a quiet, peaceful town by Newfoundland and Labrador.

I used to work at a publishing company - hated it. After quitting my job a few years ago, I packed my bags and started a new life at a small town by the sea, just like I've always dreamed of.

As a Newfie-in-training, I'm still getting used to my life in Labrador. I'm currently taking freelance writing gigs to make ends meet. If you like what I write in this blog, why not hire me for a job or two?

My Newfie Picks

One of the perks about living in Newfoundland is that every day feels like a new adventure. I love visiting the small local businesses and discovering hidden gems that only become evident to the residents.

Here are a few of my personal recommendations if you ever travel to Newfoundland and Labrador:

Ches's Famous Fish & Chips

Best fish and chips I had in my life, hands down. I always pop by the place near my home when it isn't so busy in the afternoons.

The Newfoundland Distillery Company

If you love craft beer as much as I do, this place makes some of the finest stuff. My dad loves the gunpowder and rose rum they make!

Twisted Sisters Boutik

This fashion store is anything but twisted. I love their stylish, cozy clothing lines. Half my wardrobe comes from this boutique shop!

Saucy Pots and Pottery

I'm a sucker for beautiful pottery decorations. This business makes elegantly simple pottery pieces that fit perfectly with my home decor.
