   Prince Edward Island, Canada

   Prince Edward Island, Canada Can you tell me more about PEI's history? PEI is one of Canada's Maritime provinces, known for red beaches, seafood, small towns, farms, coastal roads, and, of course, Anne of Green Gables. Prince Edward Island (PEI) was originally Mi'kmaq territory known as Epekwitk ("cradled on the waves"). French colonists settled it in the 1720s as Île Saint-Jean, but the British deported them in 1758. Later named "St. John Island," the colony was renamed PEI in 1799. It joined Canada as the seventh province in 1873. The World's Bluefin Tuna Capital: PEI is world-renowned for its massive bluefin tuna. Anglers flock to the island's coastal waters, where catching tuna weighing well over $500 lbs is common during the season. Tourism Prince Edward Island NoOcean Escape: PEI is 137 miles long and varies from about 4 to 40 miles wide. Because of its unique shape, no point on the island is more than 10 miles from the sea. The red soil gets its striking color from a high concentration of iron oxide (hematite) in the sandstone bedrock, which essentially rusted over millions of years. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today: Confidence Challenge PEI If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series goes deeper into island lifestyles and walks you through 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign-language communication tips and ways to make it more fun. For solo travel in areas like PEI, you can find the series at the link in the description. See my book series, Part C, for how to address this concern. Find it on the website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Prince Edward Island, usually called PEI. I visited PEI near the end of my second long solo journey around the world. At that point, I had just under two weeks left in my adventure. By then, I had started losing things, too. I lost my hat after swimming at the beach on Saturday. Then I lost my glasses. Fortunately, I had packed a spare pair, so I could still see where I was going. This is one reason I always recommend bringing backups of the small things that can become very important when you travel. https://www.tourismpei.com/ https://www.tourismpei.com/askanislander/questions/which-is-better-to-go-to-pei-this-summer-via-the-confederation-bridge-or#:~:text=The%20Confederation%20Bridge%20rates%20are,when%20departing%20on%20the%20ferry).
