Homesick, Connected, and Proud: The Rise of Global Bluenosers
from Kevjet - The Podcast · host Kevjet
Sean Meister, founder of Global Bluenosers, shares how a bout of homesickness turned into a worldwide Nova Scotian uprising. After moving away from home, Sean set out to recreate that unmistakable East Coast feeling—next thing you know, a podcast, kitchen-party meetups, and chance reunions have snowballed into international gatherings and a nonprofit connecting Bluenosers across the globe. This episode dives deep into what it really means to be from Nova Scotia: the tug of home you never shake, the power of diaspora friendships, and why a hug at the airport can hit harder than any goodbye. From fiddles and fish stories to found family in far-flung cities, it’s a love letter to East Coasters everywhere—proof that no matter how far you roam, Nova Scotia never lets go of you. https://globalbluenosers.ca/
