I stepped out of my hotel and into the chill of a December night in St. John’s Newfoundland. The air is sharp and alive with the salty tang of the North Atlantic ocean. Historic Water Street stretched out before me like a welcome mat; steeped in history and humming with energy.
This is Part 3, the final installment of our 3-part Caribbean adventure series. In Part 1, we swam with giant sea turtles. In Part 2, we jumped out of an airplane at 10,000 feet. Today?
This is Part 2 of our 3-part Caribbean adventure series. In Part 1, we swam with giant sea turtles, visited Maho beach where the planes fly just over your head, and climbed a massive rock in the middle of the ocean.

You know, I’ve lived in Newfoundland my whole life, and I’m still discovering incredible stories hidden in every corner of this island.
New York City doesn’t introduce itself all at once. Back home in Newfoundland, when you meet someone new, they shake your hand and ask “who ya longs to” (which is newfinese for who’s your family), and most likely they already know your uncle, sister, or cousins. Five minutes later, you’re standing in their kitchen with a cup of tea havin’ a yarn like you knew each other for years..
New York is a full-volume city. Energy, lights, sirens, steam vents, accents, attitude, people—like someone turned the world’s energy up two notches and snapped the knob off. I’ve been to New York six times. Each trip taught me something the last one missed. The first time, I tried to see everything and left exhausted and some cranky.
New York City has no interest in making you comfortable. The moment you step off the plane, you’re in it — the noise, the speed, the sheer density of eight million people all living their own urgent story.
It’s Donny Love, back with another travel tale! I’m from St. John’s, Newfoundland, and host of Adventures Unknown, now in its sixth season.
Stepping into The Gypsy Tea Room on Water Street felt like walking into a storybook—a cozy, timeless nook tucked into the heart of St. John’s. The exposed brick walls, dim candlelight, and gentle hum of conversation created the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable evening.
I tell ya, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of kickstarting a new adventure series right here in our own rugged backyard. When we set out to film the first episode of Adventures Unknown, I knew Bell Island, Newfoundland, was the perfect spot to dive headfirst into the unknown.
Now, b’ys, let me spin ya a yarn about a journey that took me deep into the belly of Newfoundland’s west coast. In this episode of Adventures Unknown, I found meself in Corner Brook, a city nestled snug between the mountains and the sea.
Now, b’ys, let me tell ya—if you ever find yourself standin’ at the edge of a waterfall, peerin’ down into the churnin’ waters below, wonderin’ if ya got the nerve to take the leap
Now, let me tell ya b’y, if you’ve never been out on the open ocean, rod in hand, waiting for a shark to take the bait—well, you ain’t lived yet.
Ever since I can remember, puffins have been more than just birds to me—they’ve been woven into the very fabric of my life. Born and raised on the rugged coasts of Newfoundland, these quirky, colorful creatures were my backyard companions.
Growing up in St. John’s has given me a front‐row seat to a city where every cobblestone, building, and public square tells its own story. This isn’t just a place on a map—it’s a living, breathing tapestry of history, faith, and community spirit.
