Destination Discoveries with James and Bugsy takes you on a virtual journey to hidden gems across North America, starting in Teulon, Manitoba—James' birthplace. Teulon is a charming small town with deep roots in Manitoba's history, known for its peaceful prairie atmosphere and welcoming community. Its quiet streets are lined with locally owned shops and surrounded by rolling fields and natural beauty, creating a sense of timeless charm. James' connection to the area runs deep. His family is laid to rest at the Anglican church in Erinview, a simple yet beautiful country church with a modest steeple and white exterior. Visiting the church and nearby cemetery brings a sense of peace and personal history, connecting the past with the present. Just a short drive from Teulon, you'll find the Narcisse Snake Dens—home to one of the largest gatherings of garter snakes in the world. Every spring, thousands of snakes emerge from their hibernation in the limestone crevices, creating an incredible natural spectacle that draws wildlife enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. Bugsy, James' loyal dachshund, has been fascinated by snakes since puppyhood, adding an entertaining twist to their exploration of the area. Join James and Bugsy as they uncover the stories, history, and natural wonders that make Teulon and its surroundings a must-see destination. Whether it’s the quiet charm of the town, the peaceful presence of Erinview church, or the awe-inspiring natural event of the snake dens, Destination Discoveries brings it all to life.
