literallyyyyyy same!!!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching!

That's so exciting! Best of luck for the trip. The campsite we stayed at near Victoria had plenty of showers. I also remember the campsite we stayed at in Tofino had showers too. I know a lot of campsites don't have showers though so a lot of the time we would just swim in lakes as well. We used iOverlander to find places to sleep and shower too :)

have the best summer!

I hope so too!

Banff Gondola or Sunshine Village

Majority of things are open still with only very limited places closing on christmas day :)

Have fun! It's such a blast :)

Everything was shot on my Iphone 13 Pro or Go Pro Hero 12. Night timelapse was the go pro and images were the phone on a tripod!

It really is!

Isn't it!!

You're welcome 😊

LL is great! I have never been to Nakiska but I imagine its a great close to Calgary/Cochrane option. Its nice we have multiple very different mountains all so close though :)

Glad you enjoyed it! It was one of the best things we have ever done :)

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much :)

To get to the top of Standish Mountain you need to ride a chairlift so I'm not sure how a stroller would work in that situation! A chest carrier is probably the best option but I would recommend reaching out to Sunshine Village to see what they recommend. The pathways are mostly loose gravel as well. I hope you're able to find a way to make it work! It's a beautiful place to visit.

It's SO beautiful!! Thanks for watching :)

I disagree, "expanding the road network" would result in such unnecessary destruction in what is one of the most beautiful places and national parks. Yes, not being able to drive and go on your own schedule does suck. We first visited when you could still drive so I get it. BUT we also know exactly how chaotic the traffic was because of the mass tourism and it was a nightmare. There are plenty of different bus companies you can take and the Parks Canada shuttle starts as low as $7 so I would argue there are still affordable options that make this area accessible to everyone.

It really is!

So many good trails!! The trail to rock isle lake is my favourite and you can do as much or as little as you like. I would plan a half day to a full day in the area. The lovely guides will explain your hiking options when you get up there as well :)

They close very briefly in the spring and fall but they are open during summer and winter!

Absolutely, this vlog explains it! th-cam.com/video/4i55PeHO7pc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Mvg6HKSlVePbpNZK - feel free to skip ahead for the info!

I'm so glad it was helpful! If you go onto my channel theres a video about needing a car in banff, its aimed more at tourists but you might find some helpful info in there. In short, you don't NEED a car but we did have a car the whole time and for the few weeks we didn't have it (parents were using it!) we felt kinda trapped. If its your first season though I think you would be fine without one for winter as your still excited about banff things and most external things are likely closed. Summer is when you want to be out exploring the most! I hope that helps :)

We used The Working Holiday Club! I have a few videos on my channel where I talk about them if that helps at all :)

So exciting for you!! We did our whole process in Australia with the help of The Working Holiday Club so I know how that all works but i don’t know enough about applying from outside your home country to give advice on that! Hopefully there is someone online who has done it that way who can provide advice. Otherwise The Working Holidah Club know everything so you could always reach out to them :)

Come on now, a “rich parents” comment, really? Why? Because a 25 year old female living abroad couldn’t possibly be supporting herself? Let’s be mature about this… May I suggest a nature documentary instead of a week in MY life vlog? They might be more you’re style ✌🏻

Hey Michael, that’s so exciting for you both!! We were really lucky and found the staff accommodation we had as a couple to be perfect. If you head to my Instagram (@caitlinlaurent) there is a video of our little apartment/room in my Canada Q&A highlight! It’s not all like that and a lot are bigger share houses but that was what we had and it was good :)

@@caitlinlaurent Perfect! I’ll definitely check it out. We’ve been trying to figure out the best way to get started, and it seems staff accommodation is probably the best way to go. At least for the first season 😁 Hope you guys are enjoying Central America 🙌

@@michaeljames2964 oh absolutely! It’s the safest option and best way to start :)

Hahahahhaha I know what you mean, Canada really felt like home to us but we are excited to be back travelling and moving around more. Its going to be a great few months!

@@caitlinlaurent 🤝❤

So glad we could help!

thank you so much for watching and for your comment! this vlog was filmed in September so it's a beautiful time to visit. Best of luck & my blog is there if you need any extra information :)

Thanks!

Thanks for the visit!

There was no restriction on how many or few hours per week you could work on the open work permit! When we were in staff accom it was approximately $440 each a month but I know this varies a lot depending on where you work and who for. Hope that helps :)

Thnak you! Its a great trail!

It was June 22nd :)

It sure will! Thank you :)

Thank you so much for your support! We are excited for whats ahead :)

Thats so lovely to hear! Thank you for taking the time to watch it and let me know. <3

I don't find it very different! I just got mine done and it was approximately $380

Thank you for your support and we are excited to have you following along! Unfortunately, not all businesses in working holiday towns are the best to work for. We were fortunate to get an extra 6 months with the process we went through but in hindsight, it was a learning curve and I'm not sure we would do it again. Oh well, on to bigger and better things now!

Thank you! You too!

Thank you so much! We will miss it :'(

We agree!
