Spend just under 2 weeks driving across the island in 2019, staying in various small B&Bs (support local businesses! Newfoundlanders are the best people in the country and the smallest B&Bs are the absolute greatest).
After being immersed, you immediately find yourself drifting into the accent which I thought was pretty funny - but it's not as pronounced in St. Johns.
Was always told to avoid driving at night because of all the moose but strangely I only countered one mum and baby and that was on the second day on the island.
You'll be amazed at how different the terrain is in every region, from the forests in in the interior, to the mountains of the west. The drive along the western coast through to the Viking Trail is amazing. Don't expect TransCanada speed limits. The Viking stuff at L'Anse aux Meadows can be a little touristy but still a must, as is a stay in Twillingate.
Do embrace the local culture, traditions and foods.
Oh and a stop in Dildo is funny and all, but the people there are also super nice.
