Can't believe you guys skipped visiting Ottawa when you were so close by when in Montreal. Ottawa is the national capital and one of the most beautiful cities in the country with tons of history and interesting architecture.
YES absolutely! :) it's also something we are trying to embrace more on this trip. Spending more time in nature, starting some new hobbies (you'll see us try our hand at fishing in the next video ;)) and meeting up with people along the way have been some of our favourites in Canada! So glad you are enjoying the Canada videos, many more to come!!
I feel badly watching this episode…you are making a very nice, and healthy, dinner in your VAN! I’m sitting here on my bed eating ice cream because I don’t want to cook tonight. Lol. Glad you’re enjoying Niagara, very nice place.
I never thought I would ask this after watching a van life video, but can you share your recipes? LOL. Each meal looked so delicious & healthy! I am particularly interested in the dressing. That's what I enjoy about your videos the most--You show us the shopping, the cooking, the going to bed, what you're eating at restaurants, the stops to clean out the van, etc. You show us the whole picture & not just the highlights. I loved your excitement over the houses, the falls & of course, the foxes. Terrific video, guys!
The salad was salad, boiled sweet potato and then fried in the pan, so it's a bit crispy, black pepper tempeh and some feta cheese. Super easy to make. It's loosely based on this recipe: www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/black-pepper-tofu-365129 I took tempeh instead of tofu as I like the texture and flavour better. Took one big onion, a thumb sized piece of ginger, 3-4 garlic cloves, some soy sauce, chili flakes and some black pepper. Just cut up the onion in small pieces, cut up or grate the ginger and garlic. Toss in pan, add soy sauce, ginger, chili flakes and black pepper (I just generously twist it over it, I think the suggested amounts in the recipe are way too much) and add the tempeh/tofu (I like to cut it up in cubes of about 1-1.5 cm). The tofu/tempeh doesn't get crispy, which I prefer to sometimes I panfry the tempeh first to get it crispy. First thing I made was some onion, garlic and mushrooms. Probably added some chili and soy sauce as well. Put that on a wrap with some salad, nutritional yeast (tastes a bit like cheese, but not really) and some yoghurt with whatever we had (think it was paprika powder, cumin powder, curry powder and some fresh herbs). You can add a bit of rice to the wrap to make it more filling. Well you can basically chuck anything onto a wrap with a bit of salad :D
@@NaickKim Thank you so much for the reply! I appreciate the time you took to write it out. Your healthy cooking in the van inspired me--especially the tempeh & the mushroom wraps. I would say you guys are next level van life when it comes to cooking!
These videos bring back a lot of memories. I grew up not far from Niagara Falls and have been there many times, in all seasons. My grandfather actually helped build the Trans-CanadaHighway. And our family would do 4 week long road trips, traveling throughout Canada and the US, every summer, which gave us the luxury of going back and forth by different routes and catching different things, so I find it interesting to see which places you hit or miss. It's a bit sad you didn't see Ottawa, but then you'd likey have bypassed the Thousand Islands.
I am loving these adventures. I look for videos from you guys every day. Naick in the water cracked me up. I just live you guys. Safe travels. See you next time.
You will love the drive along Lake Superior. At Thunder Bay, make sure to see the sleeping giant. Great place to camp. Take more time do not rush through Canada. So much beautiful scenery. Can't wait until you camp next to a lake and uou hear the common loon singing at night. One of the most beautiful sounds you will hear in nature.
I asked Ayngelina (another UA-camr) who she watches because I have been finding it hard to find content creators that I could follow on a weekly basis. I have a few I follow faithfully and others, meh. So here I am, subscribed and reviewing more of your previous uploads.
I'm glad you had such a nice weather at Niagara Falls! It was interesting to hear how Naick changed his opinion about the diesel prices here in Canada☺. When he said in one of the first Canada episodes - the diesel prices are not bad here, cheaper than in Belgium - I said, just wait a little...the distances are crazy here. The diesel will be cheaper in Alberta, more expensive in BC and crazy expensive in the Yukon. The Canadian Rockies are maybe the most beautiful part of Canada but also the most touristy. Just to get a parking place can take a really long time...And if you are in Dawson City, don't forget to try the Sourtoe cocktail - you only can get it there!
Southern Ontario is further south than other California, so wine growing is big there. It is in BC too, especially in the Okanagon region. Award winning wines are made, often beating French/Italian wines in competitions. Canada is also known for its ice wines, which few countries can reliably produce. Both Ontario and the Okanagon produce ice wines. To make it, grapes are left on the vine, they mature longer and then are only picked when the weather is below -15 celsius. the freezing drives excess water out of the grapes, leaving them super sweet and intensely flavoured - its a very sweet desert wine that is normally drunk alongside fruit or cheese. Ontario and the Okanagon are about the only places that the -15C can be guaranteed.
WOW what an adventure so far! Your footage of the falls was absolutely gorgeous…I went there when I was little and remember being overwhelmed by how busy it was, it kind of detracted from the beauty.
I am near Niagara Falls NY. I wish I could meet you but if you didn't know, Niagara Falls Ontario is considered the emerald zone for wines so there are plenty of vineyards around.
Another great video...that I get to watch on my birthday. Niagara Falls is definitely on my bucket list!! So happy you got some good weather!!! I love hard copy maps as well. Something so satisfying about marking out your route.
I was born and raised in Niagara Falls, it's always fun to see people experience seeing the Falls for the first time. I tend to take them for granted now and rarely every brave the crowds to see them. Also Niagara-on-the-Lake and all of the wineries are great, I always love driving through that area. I hope you'll be travelling along Georgian Bay and Lake Superior to get to Manitoba, that area is the best Ontario has to offer.
Dont miss Drumheller on your route - it is off the highway before you get to Calgary, so about three hours before Banff. You are driving along on the prairie and suddenly the land just sort of falls away into a series’s of canyons. It is recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site and is full of dinosaurs. Some are displayed in the actual spots they were found, but most are in the Tyrell Museum that is situated in the park - it’s a great museum. There is also a loop around the town that can be driven and includes a free crossing on the ferry across the river. I'll put a link below
Too funny you guys, I am a Newfoundlander and my husband is Finnish. Whenever we travel we check real estate as well. We lived and worked around the world but are now in Newfoundland. Loving your travels. Thanks for taking us along.
SO nice to see you guys excited about our beautiful country! Of course, minus the bugs - we could do without them as well. 😁The Niagara portion of the video was awesome. We are still so bummed we didn't manage to connect with you guys. Hopefully, there is another opportunity some day. Continue on with safe travels. - Coreen
I'm glad you guys are having such a good time in Canada! Niagara Falls and Niagara On the Lake are both super beautiful spots. Even though I'm Canadian (and my sister lives in Alberta) I've never been West of Saskatchewan. I would love to do a trip like this in the future. Looking forward to seeing what else you guys get up to. 😃
Great video! I love seeing my country through your eyes. I couldn’t wait for you to see Niagara Falls. It’s so massive. Has to be seen to know how big it is. You won’t have problems with driving in Canada. There is a big Recreational vehicle and camping culture here and everything is set up to accommodate that. Looking forward to your next videos. Safe travels!
Hi Naick and Kim, love it when you said robbery in broad daylight when filling up your gas tank. That's what we the Canucks have to endure the last while, and there's no sign of the gas prices coming down anytime soon. As far as traffic goes, that's what we would expect anytime we hit the highway during the morning and afternoon rush hours. Hope you two had a great time enjoying the spectacular scenery of Niagara Falls
hey guys! yes the peach wine, it was my first fruit wine! its wonderful. acutually there are a few fruit wineries in Ontario. There was a great one in Niagara on the lake as well!
Hello! Looks like you guys are really enjoying the wildlife and natural scenery in 🇨🇦 On the east coast they have foxes and on the west coast we have raccoons🦝. They both like to get into the trash! It’s so cool that you guys are amazed by what you wildlife you have seen so far, maybe we just take just take it for granted…but when get to into Alberta, the rockies and BC, you will see all the rest of the big wildlife. Enjoy! Safe travels!
Love the video... Down the memory lane, I visited these places 10 years ago... I did 1000 islands boat tour, but also one called 30 000 islands if I remember well.... Niagara on the lake, Niagara falls, couple of vineries... Nice to see all of that again.
You guys are so awesome! We have a fox visit our porch everyday in the summer...glad you went to AAA(in the USA, it is called AAA--American Automobile Association), If you are in Thunder Bay, you should cross into Minnesota and go to Grand Marais(northern Minnesota--Lake Superior)--beautiful! On the North Shore of Lake Superior--try the Walleye! It's about an hour from Thunder Bay...
Niagara wines are famous for their Ice wines. They win awards all the time. Canadian ice wines are right up their with the German ice wines. I myself am not an ice wine fan. They are a bit too sweet and thick for my liking. I am actually more of a beer girl. Side note, I live right in Toronto down by the lake and I have fox and deer in my backyard. Yesterday while swimming in my pool a Peregrine falcon landed on fence
So excited for your journey! We really enjoy watching!! Love the van life healthy cooking too! (We need to strive for that style of cooking too…it’s all about balance…tempeh and ice cream 💕). I really admire how you both freelance as you travel. We’ll be along side you as you enjoy the Americas! ( and beautiful Canada 🇨🇦)
Great video! You’re so close to us in the U.P. Of Michigan! It’s staying light outside til 10:30 pm now up here. Look for the northern lights too. Safe travels.
I have only watched a half dozen of your videos so far, and you guys are speaking my language re eating and sightseeing. Strongly suggest you take out a CAA - RV membership though you may have already as I am a few months behind in your video series. It is the best value for emergency breakdowns, towing, gas, changing tires etc. Please slow down and enjoy all of the scenery you have around you it is a one of kind you will not find anywhere else on the planet. Don't worry Alaska and other points are not going anywhere, what you miss today there is always tomorrow. Good luck. joe
Thanks for stopping by Joe. You have some catching up to do 🥰 We went to CAA actually to get some info, but since we're European we couldn't get a membership there. You're right about slowing down though, it makes it more enjoyable and gives us time to smell the roses 👍🏻
@@NaickKim So sorry about your mechanical issues and how frustrating things can get. I was also watching some videos by an American couple who were travelling some of the same routes as yourselves and found some great ideas that you may find interesting and even helpful. They are named 'Newstate Nomads' on youtube. Just watched their videos on Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Good luck with your continued travels, and please stay safe. P.S. I travel along with my wife, Autistic Adult Son and dog to eastern Canada like Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island from Ontario each summer. We stay in our Tent Trailer and towards the end really do not want to return back as we all enjoy our time out there so much. Joe
We love the van life idea but the reality of so darn much drive time has held us back. Especially living here in Canada, like you say, everything is very spread out.
Hey guys! Yes Canada is maaaassive haha, we didn't properly realize that until we got here and started driving :) I think it doesn't have to be a bad thing though, the driving to us is also part of the fun. The scenery you can see in Canada as you drive is like watching Discovery channel or something 😉 and if you travel at a slower pace, there will be less driving too!
Great video guys! We're back from the North Shore of Lake Superior (it was really gorgeous)and though you were far ahead of us and we couldn't meet up we hope your van is fixed soon and one day we will meet somewhere in the world:) We're from Toronto and lived in Niagara for many years so it was fun to watch your impression of it. Cheers!!
Naick, just curious when you two were in Niagara Falls. My family just spent two days there early this week. We've been to see the Falls countless time, and it's a place we never get tired of visiting. The views from Canada side are way better, to the envy of our friends on the other side of the border. Wish we had the luck to run into you.
Another great video!!! Niagara Falls is even beautiful in winter when frozen. Glad you got to experience it. It has become so expensive in Canada for literally everything. Hopefully when you hit the US diesel prices won’t hurt your wallet as much. Safe travels. Looking forward to the next one already. 😊
@@NaickKim Bizarre isn’t it. Maybe it was just a USA issue. Regardless - it won’t be pretty for EY. And - you don’t have to worry about it! Cheers! Enjoy your travels.
Exactly, you could find a more beautiful day to visit Niagara Falls, wow 👌 We're definitely signing up for Harvest Hosts soon. Great that you shared the travel plans. Very impressive:) Exciting to follow. Sending Best Wishes and Blessings, James and Kim ❤️
I just found your channel. Looking forward to your adventures. I am from Saskatchewan. You have to spend a few hours in Moose Jaw and take a tour of the tunnels. There are two tours about an hour each. “Chicago Connection” and “Passage to Fortune.” It will give you a bit of a glimpse of Canada’s history.
Wow what a time, foxes, the falls and driving into Toronto, lol! Quite the highway that one!!! Well you're making pretty good time. Hopefully the weather will smarten up but we've had lots of rain here in Alberta too. By the time you get here I predict great weather. The Rockies are amazing!!! Have fun seeing as much of this wonderful Country as you can because its pretty special. Safe travels as always and have a great trip to Northern Ontario. Did you go to Quebec City?
I went to Niagara about 40 years ago. What impressed me so was how calm the river was before it got to the falls and then the rush of energy. That was on the American side. Back then the Canadian side was much more commercial then the American side. I don't know what it is like now.
Good video.....Niagara Falls is the go to destination for Europeans when they come to southern Ontario. The Main Street leading up to the falls is too plastic, but can be fun. The garbage cans should have been covered so the foxes can't get into them. They should be hunting for small animals and rodents, not eat garbage, That's what they do in my neighbourhood.
If you get the opportunity, check out the ore and grain freighters going thru the Soo Locks in Sault Saint Marie Ontario. Its an amazing piece of engineering.
Well when we were there was quite a bit of rain there (and the weather would still be bad the next few days) so we just drove through it but it did look beautiful :)
I'm going to Niagara falls, Niagara on the lake, and Toronto too! Lol after I get a new car. Lola the Corolla is getting a little old for a drive that far.
Oh yes, you'll want to have a good set of wheels if you're doing a long drive like that haha, but you're gonna love it! Definitely do the boat trip into the mist of the falls if you can, it was one of the coolest things we've ever done while traveling. So impressive :) when are you heading there? enjoy your trip!! (and new car!)
@@NaickKim I'm really looking forward to the boat trip! Actually I watched some videos that said the boat trip at night is amazing because of the light show. I'm so excited!
I hope you realize it is a 16 hour drive, without stops to Thunder Bay from Niagara on the Lake....this also does not include TO traffic. Drive safe, there is moose, deer and bears on the roads up here.
@@NaickKim Great. I just watched the video and Naick mentioned in passing our next stop is Thunder Bay and all I thought was I hope they are not thinking they can do it in a day. Enjoy and don’t wake “The Sleeping Giant”.
Hey guys. We are visiting Peru right now. Amazing for sure. Wanted to give a heads up, maybe you know, maybe you don’t. Gas prices are insane here!!! OMG. $20/ gallon 🙈
Hi Jesse :) are you sure? Because that sounds extreme. This website says it was about 6 USD a gallon a few days ago: nl.globalpetrolprices.com/Peru/diesel_prices/ Maybe you mean the price in local currency is about 20 a gallon, i.e. 20 Peruvian soles a gallon? I converted it and that is about 6 USD :)
Hi, just saw your IG post. Hope you can keep coming west. I live in Banff and never tire of the views (crowds, yes). You have to come through here and take the Icefield Parkway from Banff to Jasper then on to Alaska.
Of course the falls is powerful you said 27 million litres of water. That is 27 million Kilogramms falling between 100 and 150 mesters ( depending on what water fall ) every second.
@@NaickKim One thing you may not have considered in your plans this trip in general is that the further west you travel in Canada and the US, the more wildfires and burned out areas are a factor. In Alaska there are actually few places one can go via paved roads (or any roads) and fires have affected many areas. My last trip there a few years ago was very limited by fires. Good luck in all your travels.
Canada is bug infested, and gasoline is so overpriced. Also it's bitterly cold for 7 months out of the year. Quebec was beautiful! Right now in the SE United States you can find gas as low as $2.50 a gallon, maybe 70c a liter.
Hooray for the CAA map lady! The CAA equivalent in the US is the AAA, same situation. Hope you find someone kind to give you what you need in the US. If not, contact me and I'll see if I can use my membership number for you/send you what you need. Love the fox shots. There were some beautiful ones.
Foxes are very curious creatures by nature and if they are used to people they really don't care. Lovely animals and super intelligent!
Can't believe you guys skipped visiting Ottawa when you were so close by when in Montreal.
Ottawa is the national capital and one of the most beautiful cities in the country with tons of history and interesting architecture.
Kim, l agree, it is the little things that makes us happy. Map, foxes, getting wet. What a day! Loving Canada through your eyes. Stay safe.
YES absolutely! :) it's also something we are trying to embrace more on this trip. Spending more time in nature, starting some new hobbies (you'll see us try our hand at fishing in the next video ;)) and meeting up with people along the way have been some of our favourites in Canada!

@@princeofpcos9804 oh nice! :) it is our favorite part of Canada so far. Ontario is so beautiful ❤❤
Well we're actually trying our hand at fishing atm (as total noobs, lol, you'll see that in the next video) and we're hopeful we'll catch some!!
The beautiful natural scenery and the unexpected fox, how beautiful ☺️ Blessings from Taiwan💕

Canadian Tire or similar places sell citronella candles and torches - they will keep away mosquitos and other bugs when you are sitting outside
I'm so impressed with those meals you cook up, Naick! 👍 Kim, your exuberance makes my heart smile! ❤ Great work, both of you!
Thanks so much Rick! 😊 Naick is a great chef and he cooks 90% of the time so I am really lucky 🥰🥰
Can't wait to visit Niagra falls, this video made me want to go even More! Thanks for the video, can't wait for the next one.
Wow, so much beauty in one video you guys. Really enjoying your Canada content ☺️
Thanks so much Chris! 😊 we're happy you like it. Canada is so beautiful ❤️

Thanks for stopping by Joe. You have some catching up to do 🥰
We went to CAA actually to get some info, but since we're European we couldn't get a membership there.
You're right about slowing down though, it makes it more enjoyable and gives us time to smell the roses 👍🏻
@@NaickKim So sorry about your mechanical issues and how frustrating things can get.
I was also watching some videos by an American couple who were travelling some of the same routes as yourselves and found some great ideas that you may find interesting and even helpful. They are named 'Newstate Nomads' on youtube. Just watched their videos on Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
Good luck with your continued travels, and please stay safe.
P.S. I travel along with my wife, Autistic Adult Son and dog to eastern Canada like Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island from Ontario each summer. We stay in our Tent Trailer and towards the end really do not want to return back as we all enjoy our time out there so much. Joe
Prachtige video en super aan die watervallen . Jullie hebben het daar zeker naar jullie zin. Genieten maar zou ik zeggen. Groetjes, Gilberte
We love the van life idea but the reality of so darn much drive time has held us back. Especially living here in Canada, like you say, everything is very spread out.
Hey guys! Yes Canada is maaaassive haha, we didn't properly realize that until we got here and started driving :) I think it doesn't have to be a bad thing though, the driving to us is also part of the fun. The scenery you can see in Canada as you drive is like watching Discovery channel or something 😉 and if you travel at a slower pace, there will be less driving too!
Great video guys! We're back from the North Shore of Lake Superior (it was really gorgeous)and though you were far ahead of us and we couldn't meet up we hope your van is fixed soon and one day we will meet somewhere in the world:) We're from Toronto and lived in Niagara for many years so it was fun to watch your impression of it. Cheers!!
Have a good time.
Naick, just curious when you two were in Niagara Falls. My family just spent two days there early this week. We've been to see the Falls countless time, and it's a place we never get tired of visiting.
The views from Canada side are way better, to the envy of our friends on the other side of the border. Wish we had the luck to run into you.
Another great video!!! Niagara Falls is even beautiful in winter when frozen. Glad you got to experience it.
It has become so expensive in Canada for literally everything. Hopefully when you hit the US diesel prices won’t hurt your wallet as much. Safe travels. Looking forward to the next one already. 😊
I really enjoyed myself very much watching your video. It's always a pleasure! : )
Hey guys. Loving your adventure journey ! Thought of you this morning reading the news on EY
Haha hadn't even heard of it. Neither did my former colleagues. Sounds like something that would happen
@@NaickKim Bizarre isn’t it. Maybe it was just a USA issue. Regardless - it won’t be pretty for EY. And - you don’t have to worry about it! Cheers! Enjoy your travels.
Exactly, you could find a more beautiful day to visit Niagara Falls, wow 👌 We're definitely signing up for Harvest Hosts soon. Great that you shared the travel plans. Very impressive:) Exciting to follow. Sending Best Wishes and Blessings, James and Kim ❤️
Naick is funny. 👍👍
Simply wonderful, really enjoying your adventures, now, I really want to see Canada myself..xxx
Another awesome video guys. This trip is already epic!!!
I just found your channel. Looking forward to your adventures.
I am from Saskatchewan. You have to spend a few hours in Moose Jaw and take a tour of the tunnels. There are two tours about an hour each. “Chicago Connection” and “Passage to Fortune.” It will give you a bit of a glimpse of Canada’s history.
Wow what a time, foxes, the falls and driving into Toronto, lol! Quite the highway that one!!! Well you're making pretty good time. Hopefully the weather will smarten up but we've had lots of rain here in Alberta too. By the time you get here I predict great weather. The Rockies are amazing!!! Have fun seeing as much of this wonderful Country as you can because its pretty special. Safe travels as always and have a great trip to Northern Ontario. Did you go to Quebec City?
Some sorry you did not walk to US side water fall. That side you can stand right below the fall. Much different touch.
I went to Niagara about 40 years ago. What impressed me so was how calm the river was before it got to the falls and then the rush of energy. That was on the American side. Back then the Canadian side was much more commercial then the American side. I don't know what it is like now.
Cute couple. Excellent English.
Thank you! 😃
Good video.....Niagara Falls is the go to destination for Europeans when they come to southern Ontario. The Main Street leading up to the falls is too plastic, but can be fun.
The garbage cans should have been covered so the foxes can't get into them. They should be hunting for small animals and rodents, not eat garbage, That's what they do in my neighbourhood.
The Niagara falls were great indeed. So impressive.
The covered cans would be a lot better for the wildlife.
If you get the opportunity, check out the ore and grain freighters going thru the Soo Locks in Sault Saint Marie Ontario. Its an amazing piece of engineering.
You should take the boat tour in the Thousand Islands National Park. It is so worth.
Well when we were there was quite a bit of rain there (and the weather would still be bad the next few days) so we just drove through it but it did look beautiful :)
I have to say it made me sad to see all the plastic ponchos and the waste they give to such a beautiful place. . But your drone shots were lovely
Awesome video guys! I enjoyed it so very much. Your drone views were the best. What kind of drone did you use?
We have a DJI Mavic Air 2 now. Previously had the Mavic Air, but it stopped being reliable.
I was surprised to see how close the Niagara Falls were to the built-up area.
I'm going to Niagara falls, Niagara on the lake, and Toronto too! Lol after I get a new car. Lola the Corolla is getting a little old for a drive that far.
Oh yes, you'll want to have a good set of wheels if you're doing a long drive like that haha, but you're gonna love it! Definitely do the boat trip into the mist of the falls if you can, it was one of the coolest things we've ever done while traveling. So impressive :) when are you heading there? enjoy your trip!! (and new car!)
@@NaickKim I'm really looking forward to the boat trip! Actually I watched some videos that said the boat trip at night is amazing because of the light show. I'm so excited!
I hope you realize it is a 16 hour drive, without stops to Thunder Bay from Niagara on the Lake....this also does not include TO traffic. Drive safe, there is moose, deer and bears on the roads up here.
Oh we realize 😉 we drove for 2 full days to get there haha! Worth it 😊😊
@@NaickKim Great. I just watched the video and Naick mentioned in passing our next stop is Thunder Bay and all I thought was I hope they are not thinking they can do it in a day. Enjoy and don’t wake “The Sleeping Giant”.
Great Niagara Falls and fox experience.
The gas bill is adding up.
I guess gas will be 4 times what you spent the first 9 days?
Didnt you know that the mosquito is the national bird of Canada?....LOL
Hey guys. We are visiting Peru right now. Amazing for sure. Wanted to give a heads up, maybe you know, maybe you don’t. Gas prices are insane here!!! OMG. $20/ gallon 🙈
Hi Jesse :) are you sure? Because that sounds extreme. This website says it was about 6 USD a gallon a few days ago: nl.globalpetrolprices.com/Peru/diesel_prices/
Maybe you mean the price in local currency is about 20 a gallon, i.e. 20 Peruvian soles a gallon? I converted it and that is about 6 USD :)
I know gas is expensive. Will ask about diesel for you guys 👍
Okay, I miss understood. I thought the sign was telling the price per liter. Its actually per gallon 🙈. All is good 😁
@@JesseTorres305 thank goodness for the people of Peru 😉😉
瀑布好壯觀喔，beautiful,thank you~
Thanks for watching!
感謝您們拍攝美女的風景，祝福一切都平安，吉祥如意。
The fox was close hope you don't see a Bear 🐻 so close.
that ice-cream is really expensive
just wait when u get to california diesel is almost 7 dollars a galon
Omg..are you in the falls?
When will you guys be in El Salvador again????? 😃😃😃😃 Or driving through there I should say
Not sure yet, probably in September is what I would guess :D
First video to watch after I wake up 😁
Hi, just saw your IG post. Hope you can keep coming west. I live in Banff and never tire of the views (crowds, yes). You have to come through here and take the Icefield Parkway from Banff to Jasper then on to Alaska.
I'm loving your trip so far. If you decide to traverse the US, come to Louisville Kentucky and I will buy your lunch and a tank of fuel.
The Foxes were likely a mating Couple.
Of course the falls is powerful you said 27 million litres of water. That is 27 million Kilogramms falling between 100 and 150 mesters ( depending on what water fall ) every second.
What do you about showering and toilet?
We have a toilet and a shower in our van.
Canada is a very nice country. Would suggest that you not rush through it if possible.
Yeah we'll take a bit more time to make sure we see as many of the beautiful places as possible 🥰
@@NaickKim One thing you may not have considered in your plans this trip in general is that the further west you travel in Canada and the US, the more wildfires and burned out areas are a factor. In Alaska there are actually few places one can go via paved roads (or any roads) and fires have affected many areas. My last trip there a few years ago was very limited by fires. Good luck in all your travels.
@@efoster9968 Thanks for the headsup, we will take that into account.
瀑布真美 很壯觀
it is also quite sad about the foxes. The destruction of there habitat has left them to become scavengers like raccoons :( . that is why you saw them.
:)
Glad you liked it Jon 😊😊
Fox is hungry
It definitely was! :) we closed the door of the van when it kept coming back haha, to make sure he didn't steal our snacks ;)
quite curious about your source of money
Canada is bug infested, and gasoline is so overpriced. Also it's bitterly cold for 7 months out of the year. Quebec was beautiful! Right now in the SE United States you can find gas as low as $2.50 a gallon, maybe 70c a liter.
In 25,000 sorry it will not exist the falls
I hope you're not watching the news from the US, or you may be changing your mind about coming here. An embarrassment to the world. Stay in Canada!
Hooray for the CAA map lady! The CAA equivalent in the US is the AAA, same situation. Hope you find someone kind to give you what you need in the US. If not, contact me and I'll see if I can use my membership number for you/send you what you need. Love the fox shots. There were some beautiful ones.
