Kenny Brain grew up in Newfoundland, the easternmost province of Canada, and he still has a lot of affection for the place he was raised. In fact, Brain considers Newfoundland his favorite place in the world. It doesn't hurt that he owns a cabin that his father built for the family when he was a child. "It is just absolute heaven on Earth," he told Saltwire, noting that it was difficult to be able to visit home during the COVID-19 pandemic. "When I go there, I have the most calm, relaxed everything that you could possibly have. It's pure heaven to me."

The "Making it Home with Kortney and Kenny" star enjoys representing Newfie culture wherever he goes. Speaking with Xtra Magazine, he revealed his favorite Newfoundlander saying: "who knit you at all?" He explained, "That's like, when somebody is just like, surprising in some way, or weird or different, or, you know, just like, giving you something special... something that can only be put together by knitting."

He also plans to bring his "Making it Home" co-host Kortney Wilson for a visit. The two appeared in an issue of Downhome Magazine together, and Brain revealed their future travel plans. "I want to bring her back because I know she would absolutely adore it, as anyone who visits does," he said. "... She['s] got to be an honorary Newfoundlander.
