    I've been dealing with chronic pain for a while now and haven't been able to experience nature the way I used to and have always loved to. This vlog is making me emotional because I miss exploring so much, but I'm also so grateful that you're sharing your travels with us so that we can live vicariously through you. Seriously, thank you. What an amazingly beautiful place 🥹

    Visited Canada for the first time last year (I’m from the Netherlands) and drove from Montreal to Nova Scotia by myself. Cried while driving because of the beauty. Had so many nice conversations. Encountered a moose (so cool, also very scary tbh, had to pump the brakes with al that i had. Afterwards I parked to catch my breath and a ranger came over to ask me if I was allright. After I told him what happened he said in this happy tone with a big smile on his face “There a sight to behold eh? Could have killed you though!” About the most Canadian thing that ever happened to me). This place is pure pure pure magic. This vlog made me want to grab a bag, find a plane and go.

    I moved to a big city last autumn to be with my partner too. I used to live in a smaller city, with more green, nicer people, just cozier. I figured that if I ever move, it'll be somewhere more remote, surrounded by nature. Instead I'm here. It's taken a much bigger toll on me than I expected, I hardly recognize myself anymore. All the noise, the rush hours, the many obnoxious people.. We also had to deal with the stress of setting up the apartment from scratch, utilities, furniture, everything, which is more stressful than it sounds. I just got deep in my depression, hardly doing any hobbies or anything to bring me joy. I used to feel independent, always full of joy and always started new projects and I was just ok and life seemed good. This city just drains me day by day.
    You really inspire me, as you seem to be dealing with it better and you get to go on trips, which we haven't done at all. A big plus though, we also adopted an orange (with white) boy first month I moved here, so he's been helping A LOT! He's like my therapy cat, best boy ever! We found him on the street and he kept following us, we went back to feed him for a couple of weeks daily, a lady posted an ad on facebook in the neighborhood group to see if anyone wants/ lost him, but no one answered, so we just "stole" him. He has so much love to give, exactly what I needed. I don't know what I'd do without him now.
    Anyway, rant over! Just know you're never really alone and hopefully we'll learn to manage everything better. Love to you and Calcifer! ♥

    Next time you are in the Maritimes, don't pass up NB! Most ppl only drive through, but take some time to see the St. John River Valley (esp in fall), Fundy (Hopewell rocks, national park, or the trail parkway), and some of the largest items in the world (covered bridge in Hartland, axe in Nackawic, lobster in Shediac). Especially in the summer we have a lot of festivals/markets in different towns, like the Hartland Bridge Market on NB Day weekend, or Shediac's lobster fest in July. There's also an awesome used bookstore and a cafe in Fredericton I can highly recommend :)

    I just wanted to tell you that I finished Susan Kay's Phantom last week, and absolutely fell in love with it. One of the best written character developments I'v ever read. Thank you for always recommending it (and the original Phantom of the Opera of course), I just love the way it broke my heart to tiny pieces. Poor Erik, I just wanna hug him.
