Some of the most memorable stops in and around Newfoundland and Labrador are also among the easiest to overlook: a tiny French territory just off the Canadian coast, a fishing village with no cell signal, and a national park often compared to Banff and Jasper. This episode takes a tour through the corners of Newfoundland and Labrador that even the most seasoned travelers could miss.

Host Angie Orth continues her conversation with travel journalist Christopher Mitchell, who spent a month living in Newfoundland and Labrador as a writer-in-residence. Christopher digs deeper into the province's most underrated destinations and the moments that surprised him most.

You'll learn about a French territory hiding just off the coast, why the Viking Trail is worth the drive, and which national park rivals Canada's most famous. Christopher also shares his pick for the most authentic stop on his trip and the ideal window for chasing icebergs and whales.
