Hey! I'm Alanna - a thirty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a UA-cam video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.
Alanna x
Man, I picked a bad day to say I'd neck a pint everytime Alanna says "Anyhoo"!
...or, depending on your pov, a very good day indeed!🍻
Old Speckled Hen?
😂 Bless her.
I stopped counting after 7. RIP your liver.
See what you mean, "hot minute" would have been a much better bet.
I was telling my girlfriend today about your channel and how youve inspired me to get out and explore this beautiful island,youve seen 100x of this country than this 58yr old Englishman has ever seen,bless you Allana for bringing me to my senses.
Thank you so much! Hope you can explore soon ☺️
Id recommend joining the Wildlife Trust for your county. I moved to Essex in the 90s and seeking out the various wildlife reserves in the county taught me to appreciate the Essex countryside
@@philjameson292 cheers Phil,be happy and healthy ✌️
Hi Alanna, as a Brit who used to work in Bath but who now lives in PEI Canada I very much enjoyed your trip to the city. I did want to point out that you actually "had a bit of a moment "in the Circus rather than the Royal Crescent which is just around the corner from the Circus. Next time you visit you will have something more to discover. Keep up the good work.
Great video Alanna! Bath is a beautiful city. Congratulations on passing 30 million views btw :-)
Thank you!! 😊
Always love your “unscripted” videos, Alanna! Bath is a beautiful and historic city, and one of my favorite places to visit when I’m visiting the UK. Two of the more unique visits were chaperoning a group of 10th-12th grade girls (as a +1, my wife was in charge) on an exchange trip from New Jersey and spending a summer sabbatical at Bath University in the early ‘90s learning about the (then) new National Curriculum.
Bath is such a great city for this kinda trip. Just strolling around, soaking up the architecture, and stumbling across great eateries. Fab!
Alanna with her imaginary friend , lol.
That wasn't the the Royal Crescent, it was the Circus. The Royal Crescent is a couple of hundred metres to the west, which you reach from the Circus by walking down Brock Street.
I always enjoy your travel vlogs!
Makes me miss England even more than usual 😊
Thanks so much for watching!!
I've been there - I studied at Bath University back in the 70's. Seeing your video with all the lovely clean yellow stone facades really brings back memories of this special city. When I was there, many of the buildings were still black - something to do with the chemicals in coal smoke and acid rain, I think. They used scaffolds supporting dozens of constantly running water running down the stonework to clean them all off. So when it wasn't actually raining, the streets were always wet nevertheless.
Lovely to see it all finished and beautiful. And to see you having a good tie there too. Stay cool.
The Coal gas works stopped operation in the 70's. That produced huage amounts of sulphur dioxide and other nasty stuff, plus all the coal fires turned the buildings black. Most have been cleaned up, but over the years just the rain has done a lot of cleaning too. To remind yourself of what colour most buildings were, go to the back of pultney bridge (upstream) and look underneath the overhang were the rain does not wash it off. (nearly black)
Bath looks so lovely! It is definitely very cute and seems like a great place for a weekend getaway! Thanks for a fun video Alanna!
Well as someone who lives near bath can tell you it can be nice, it can also get crowded at times such as Easter, summer, and at Christmas (especially when the Christmas market is running). But it also have some beautiful places to visit such as the Roma baths and the park. It’s a great place for shopping with shops for all price ranges.
@@EmilyCheethamHi how are you ❤️
Been to Bath several times and commuted through it a bunch more - I used to live in Bournemouth and spent 18mths working in Birmingham, Cheshire and Manchester. The quickest route is usually cross-country to Bath, then up the M5 & M6, every Sunday night and Friday afternoon. Lovely city, even when you're stuck in traffic!
[edit] This was ~20yrs ago, long before the bypass was built
Hi we are from North Carolina and have been following your you tube channel for some time. We had a few of the best days ever last summer in Bath, it's an incredible place with a lifetime full of cool stuff to do. We vowed to come back the next time we travel to England.
Nice1😊
Turning into a true Brit mentioning the weather every 2 minutes. 😂
Oh Alanna, you're just as cute as a basket of speckled puppies!
Glad to see you had a nice getaway with your mates... I love your 'wanderer' vlogs!
C, mon weve all Fell in love this Canadian Little bundle of Lovelyness
I'm someone who went to school in Bath so it's great to see you enjoying the city! I sang in a choir in Bath Abbey, walked to school past so many of the places you showed in the video, and spent a lot of my free time there as well. I have to admit, I haven't been there for some time even though I live nearby (too crowded and expensive unfortunately, and parking is a nightmare) but I spent a lot of time looking at shops and saying "that used to be a Sainsburys" or "that used to be a Pizza Hut".
Glad you enjoyed yourself, drop by again soon!
Try parking in Preston, the mother of all nightmares. Bath is a great place and the two do not compare. Preston has a one way system that is confusing and various pay and display car parks that are restricted to certain users, such as employees of particular organisations. It also has complicated rules around bus lanes and bus gates, and thousands of drivers have been issued PCNs for parking and driving infringements that in many cases will be inadvertent due to the complexity of the rules. It must be bad enough for residents or commuters familiar with the place but for visitors it is beyond belief.
Alanna - "Hey guys, look where we are..."
Me - "Ooh! The Circus! I haven't been there for years!"
Alanna - "... We're at the Royal Crescent..."
Me - "Bloody Foreigners... 😝"
Seriously though, The Royal Crescent is west, along the next road. It's kinda crescent shaped....? The architecture isn't too dissimilar though... Except, you know, *not* a circle...
I love Bath, grew up in the city. Kinda miss the place... 😔
My reaction as well.
Lolol. I came here to say that too 😂😂😂
Bath is easily one of my top 5 favourite places in England. I love it there.
First read of video title, "Canadian has a Bath"!🤣
Many thanks for another "adventures" video, Alanna
Hi Alanna, thanks for taking us along on your trip. This video just feels like we are there with you. I can understand your love of history, I've been a history lover since my school days and now in my 70s I haven't lost that love.
Never before has one latte disrupted a UA-cam video so much.... Liked the format of this one - almost a little stream of consciousness in places, and just kind of dipping in and out of your time - it felt very "natural" somehow.
Thanks so much ☺️
Yes it is almost as though we are on the trip with her.
Hey, it's my hometown - glad you enjoyed the trip - Bath looks absolutely spectacular in the sunshine because of the use of the local sandstone in practically every building. I've only lived here for 33 years now and still haven't gotten round to taking a tour of the baths - so good to see that bit. Thanks!
Limestone I believe not sandstone (sorry to be pedantic!)
Do you have a "Residents' Discovery Card"? As I use to live in that weird city, you get to que jump, free entry for some places and discounts for others.
We enjoyed our visit to Bath. My wife and I took a 21 day driving tour of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales! Such a beautiful countries. The people were so wonderful to us because our trip started two days into the atrocity on September 11...our 911. I'm too old to travel now, but I must admit I like the way Alanna covers the country! Oh, and by the way, the Canadians are among the nicest people in the world also. Interesting observation about England, though: I've noticed in those UA-cam walks through London that so few British women wear lipstick in public unlike American women.
Very nice, relaxed video. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada
Your travel vlogs are very entertaining, and yet still informative and interesting. Looks like you had fun, enough even to forget to wrap things up for the vid. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for showing my home city in all its glory! Pleased you enjoyed your time there.
i spent 50 % of the video wondering why you were talking into my grandfathers shaving brush! haha, another excellent video canadianado! big love to all people :)
Thanks for watching!
My grandad has one of those.
She's talking to her pet hamster.
Your presentation is really nice, I am an Indian, ur videos help me to watch and listen about the beautiful places in ur places thank u!
It's always nice to see new places. Your videos give me plenty of ideas of where to visit next!
Happy to hear that!
I always love it that you don’t film everything on your trips, your with your friend, put the camera down and make memories we don’t need to see everything, make memories and thanks for showing us some fun bits, bath has been on my list for a while looks gorgeous, thanks for the vid!
Thank you for sharing. It looks so cool there.
Great little video Alanna & great to see you out and about having a weekend adventure in Bath. I hope you get chance to have another little city break somewhere soon where you take us along to see some of the many places there are to visit in the UK. 🙂
I hope so too!
Love the travel vlogs! Thanks Alanna!
Thanks for watching!
Great vid, and nice to see inside the baths. I went to Bath a couple of months ago, a day trip. First time, a Saturday and it was incredibly busy. Thought I'd be able to just wander in, but having got there was told most people book online. And with me arriving (at the baths), mid afternoon all slots were taken, and there were no more tickets for walk-ins that day. Got to see just about everything else though, so a good day overall :)
Nachos and margs!! Latte and breakfast sandwhich looked awesome too (I'm currently drinking an after work latte) The architecture looks fantastic. What a fab destination for a girls trip. I like your style of a couple plans but then just wandering around and see where the day takes you.
Bath is my home city born and raised, so cool to see you there and enjoying it!!
Great to see a travel video! I really enjoyed the chill vibe 🙂
Obviously Oxford needs to be on your list, but leave it until the Spring now!
I love the work you do really!
What a pleasant and relaxing video to enjoy
Wonderful video. My family and I went to bath for a few days this time last year on our way to Cornwall. Lovely place and I especially enjoyed the Roman Baths. Your video brought back those memories. I’m glad you had a great time. You might like to try Chester and / or York if you like history. Cheers xxx
I love Bath and have gone there at least 10-12 times since 2009. Brilliant place in my heart.
Hi Alanna, I visited Bath many years ago,a beautiful city.Thank you for refreshing my memory.Cheers Roly 🇬🇧.
Good to see you..out and about 😊
BATH'S architecture is predominately GEORGIAN, for which it is World famous, Jane Austen was a frequent visitor.
no need to shout
Not by choice I don't think as she famously disliked it.
No idea why, it's one of my favourite places, second only to York for me.
Thanks for this. I'm a Canadian and visited Bath in 2019. Also took the GWR train out there. Loved it!
That's awesome!
I absolutely loved your tour of Bath Alanna,you have sold bath to me,definitely my next trip to escape from london.
Outstanding ❤❤❤
One of my friends came over for a visit in the summer and I took them into bath and for a tour of the Roman baths. Definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Bath.
As a Bathonian my suggested trip would be to drive down Brassknocker to visit Limpley Stoke and have lunch in the pub at the bottom of Brassknocker Hill.
Another Alanna masterpiece. Thanks...and may you, your friends, and your subscribers and chance viewers enjoy many more such excursions through your eyes. My grandsons in North Van are now subscribers too. The two 13-yr olds played at a national schools lacrosse tournament in Windsor ON last week. Anywhere less like Bath would be hard to find!! 🙄. I think you'd like Winchester too. Klahowya Tillicum. ❤🇨🇦
Looking good young lady as always love the vlog❤❤❤
I'm with you on the travel, I only relax when I get to where I'm supposed to be.
Thanks a lot.
Have a good Day. 👍
Great vid, I definitely need to visit Bath one of these days!
Thank you!
Been to the Bath Spa a couple of times!! Really good fun....I was even in the rooftop pool when it was snowing!!!
Amazing video
Bath looks beautiful in the sunshine! 👏👏👏
It really is!
If you like curry, the best curry-house is in Bath. Called ‘The Mint Room’, and it is across the road from the Holiday Inn hotel. A little expensive but worth every penny.
Loved the video, Alanna, Bath is not a place I have visited but fully intend to one day!
My suit came from the Rohan shop in Bath, next to the florists you were looking at! Didn't expect to see that, as it's up a bit of a back alley.
Cant beat a dip into Bath. 😊
Ahh, Bath is so special to my husband and I. He even proposed to me there! It's only a 45 min journey from us. We haven't been since before the pandemic began. Hope to get back there soon.
PLEASE don't stop saying Anyhoooo, It's so Canadian and sooooo adorable, and keep your Abooot, not About. When Ryan Gosling / Ryan Reynolds says them ... Anyhooo / Abooot ... It's brilliant. And your reactions are fantastic, keep them coming.
I liked it. Watching you talk into a small shaving brush was surprisingly entertaining. I’ve been through bath a dozen times or more but it’s never been a destination. Maybe I’ll change that.
Nice video Alanna, Bath looks like a great place to visit, but I don't think I'd want to take a dip in the green Roman bath anytime soon. You mentioned a few times you were with a bunch of friends, but I never saw anyone - you were lying on the grass at one point, but I wondered if you were smoking it 😂Ha Ha, just kidding, I'm sure you and the girls had an awesome time
You must visit the Pump room, for afternoon tea, the Roman Bath, and thermal baths. You can get a reasonable ticket to do all three.
First video I’ve seen of yours. Subscribed 👍 Nice relaxed trip around Bath or Barth as the locals would say.
Ironic the Latte was so huge you could almost take a bath in it 😁
Now you understand why we always talk about the weather, it’s constantly changing, you never get used to it.
Yes, I was in Bath 9 years ago.
Looks like you had a fab trip
i used to live in bath in the 90s really nice place great pubs!!!
Used to work a couple of days a week in Bath, the hour long commute was a pain from South Wales. The major advantage- they paid London wages and the extra £6 per hour 30 years ago was very useful.
I've been to Bath many times although it must be 10 years or so since the last time that I visited. Now days it's best visited by public transport as the traffic can be a nightmare and there is a low emissions charge for some vehicles. It's a beautiful city with a ton of history though and I highly recommend a visit. Alanna you summed it up very well, the Roman Baths are definitely worth seeing but think twice before deciding on tasting the spring water. It's a brilliant place to wander around and take in all of those old views of the buildings and get a huge coffee in the many cafes.
Was in Bath earlier in the summer, was lovely.
Gosh, it's been about thirty years since I spent a week in Bath. One of my abiding memories, which said so much about the Georgian period in which this city thrived, is that the houses have gorgeous fronts, but if you look at the rear, they are really rough and poorly constructed.
Yeah, they're Georgian - but they were built for the seasonal holiday crowd back in the Georgian period - they're poorly built holiday timeshares - just 250 year old poorly built holiday yimeshares.
All the added on bathrooms and plumbing at the back destroys the perfection.
@@rosemarielee7775 It's not just that. The front of the properties is all beautiful dressed stone. At the rear it's basically rubble in many cases.
@@wembleyford Lol. That's a very fair description.
Hope you and your friend had a good time 👍
We had a great time, thanks ☺️
Extremely good video.....
8:10 yes, I've been in Bath many times.
I lived most of my life in Keynsham, which is just outside Bath.
I went to college in Bath, I'm not a city person, but Bath is definitely the nicest city I've ever been too. Maybe only beaten by Edinburgh, but I've only spent one day there.
Beautiful Bath. I was there this year on a Uni Open Day with my youngest daughter. In the end, she decided the accommodation was too eyewateringly expensive and has just started at Nottingham Trent instead. It was lovely to see all the beautiful architecture and that strange weir thing.
Oh wow! I can only imagine the costs 😅 but definitely a beautiful place!
@@AdventuresAndNaps Having put my son through a 4 year Masters at Bath, eye watering is an understatement.
[Hello Oldfield Park!]
And he only got round to doing the baths, Sally Lunn's, etc. etc, when he took us round when he graduated. 🤦♂
Thank the Algorithm for bringing you to my home page. Honestly, the second video I've seen, and I love your content so far. The editing, pacing and just general tone are such a nice little bright light, in an otherwise slightly dreary world.
Also - love that the second video to come up is you visiting somewhere I'm lucky enough to go almost every month ( it's about 15 minutes by train for me ). But also, where I'm from, we pronounce it "Barth" 😂 and we get judged every time.
Loving the work, keep it going😊
you are so lucky, i have always wanted to vist bath but with my social disabilites i never get the chance, this was great i felt i was there so thank you and anyhoo i had better go
"There's a few people watching..." Yup - only around 19k of us =D . Bath is a lovely city, thanks for taking us along.
Love your vids hun
TY🙏🙏
Nice soundtrack on this video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Love Bath
I live in Bath, This is soo weird! Haha ... love it 😌
When you took the spring water at The Roman Baths/Pump Room, I both knew you wouldn't like it and the foul, warm taste and smell of sulphur (eggs) came back to me...yuck!
Loved my visits to Bath and although it's been a while now recognised lots of places.
My son got married at the bath's, next to the main pool. Also had great bus tour of the city. Must return sometime.
Great Video. Driven through Bath a few times and never stopped. Oops.
Welcome to my hometown, Alanna!
Little rain before it's got to that bit.
Liked the music,bit of a 60s vibe!!🙂👍
Cool video, went here with my girlfriend a few months back who is from the US, we did the Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Museum which I'd recommend for sure.
Hey, really enjoyed this! Visited Bath on my first (and so far only) visit to the UK about 15 years ago, doing all the tourist stuff: the baths and museum, Bath Abbey, sampled the mineral water at the Pump Rooms. Pigs! Do they still have all the little pig 'statues' there? Any, really enjoy these little day/weekend trip videos.
I went to bourding school in Bath for my GCSEs, makes me feel nolstagic. Remember having Cornish Pasties as a snack
Anyhoo!! Anyhoo!!
i like bath, my brother lives near there, so go sometimes to see him. havent maped the routes together in my head yet
My daughter lives there! I am there...a lot! Great place!
Nice relaxing video. I think life should be enjoyed at a slower pace so that you can fully appreciate the experiences you have and take in the beauty around you.
I love videos like this!
Barff! Luvly place
