What a great first experience in Canada!! Steph was a great tour guide, even showing you what not to do with snakes🐍😂 glad she's okay 👍
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thanks! 💚 We were lucky to have Steph with us, and she was lucky that snake decided to let her go 😅😂

My wife and I will be crushed if we don't get a sticker. In fact, we want shirts that say "Great Job JIMMY!" Its something Natalie said in a few videos, and now, we say to each other ALL OF THE TIME. It's our go to phrase for a job well done or to say thanks.
Only in Canada can you say “I’m going to Timmies” and it’s never followed by “Timmy who ???”
I live in ny and saw a confused couple in timmy's i looked at them and said "your Canadian" with a even more confused look "how'ed you know?" I replied US timmy's are watered down from the real ones your used to. We laughed.
I lived in Toronto, Ontario, for 6-1/2 years and never heard Tim Horton called Timmies. The coffee tastes better at a Tim Horton and not made at home. Don’t know why?? The cake donuts are great!
OMG you were in Beamsville (where I live) ... dang! I literally live around the corner from the Tim's you were at!
Welcome to Canada! You should take Pancake to Pancake Bay Provincial Park as you head north!
Gets vanilla ice cream: “I’m a plain guy”
Also smothers hot dogs in ranch 😂
Haha His sense of taste is all over the place 🤣🤣
Greetings from Bridgetown, Nova Scotia, Canada…..hope you have a fun time in Canada!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hola👋 from southern New Mexico 🌶️.....I was so happy to get a card from you but the sticker wasn't in it but I put your Thank you!! -Jimmy + Natalie on my refrigerator. Makes me smile 😊when I see it. Thanks for picking me and enjoy your Canada trip.💖🤗 Angels all around you and your home on wheels.
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that! Please send us a message on Instagram with your name (if you’re not comfortable sharing it here) and we’ll make sure you get your sticker!! 💚💚

@@JimmyandNatalie Hola👋 from New Mexico Paula Bird Thanks 🤗
Thanks! We'll make sure you get one when we send out the next batch! So sorry about that!!
Have Stef take you to Smokes for some poutine, she’ll explain. We always stop there when we head up to Toronto. Have fun in Canada!
I cannot believe she went after that snake!
OMG! Mind blown!! I got home from 2 weeks out of state, and saw a letter addressed to me from Rochester N.Y. Upon opening I see a thank you note AND A STICKER OF SAGUARO AND PANCAKE!!!! I’ve been following you 2 since the bus build first appeared on TH-cam! Can’t believe I’m one of the lucky ones to get a sticker! I have children living in San Francisco and Big Sur Ca. so I really enjoyed your coastal Ca. videos! Thank you for the sticker! (I think I’m going to frame it 😊) “not all those who wander are lost” a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien. I pray you keep enjoying your big adventure and the bumps in the road are small!
Oh neat, there is a Bridal Veil Falls in BC, Canada too! I work right next door. I was like wait a minute? Ontario? BC? huh? Lol I know im late to the vlogs but welcome to Canada!
WELCOME TO CANADA - Canada is a beautiful country :). I welcome you both *hugs*. If you are in Stoney Creek, let me know we can have a coffee - Timmies is the best!
What a beautiful couple you are. IDK about Steph... and the snake bite... crazy... thank you for taking us along.
Your girl is so great she reminds me of great friendship and great times I’ve had visiting her states years ago
Wish I could have meet you in NY since I live not far from where you where. Thank You for the Sticker. Love your videos.
No filming when crossing the border, luckily you guys didn’t get caught😂
as a fellow canadian welcome to canada
I was so surprised, I received one of your stickers in the mail. I love it. Thanks so much. Have fun in Canada.
Thank you for visiting Canada glad you had fun. As a home sick Canadian living abroad thanks.
So happy to have you in our country!! Buy bug spray. If you make it to BC you can fill your water tank and I'll buy you a beer :)
Glad to see Jimmy in the thumb nail !!
🐍Snake😮 , paddleboards wow oh yeah the food...yes!
Great friendships are what makes it all worth it.❤
Makes me want to watch Wonderfalls
How happy I was to receive a sticker in the mail!!! YAY!!!!
This is my crossing into Canada story. My father was a car salesman and a member of the KY. Skeet shooting team. we were shooting in Buffalo NY.. This was before passports to enter and leave. Long story short entering they just ask us how long we were going to there.( just 2 hours ). Leaving they wanted to see in the trunk. It was full of shotguns and ammo. We explained were we had been, thankfully he had all of his paperwork. Oh and he didn't own the car as it was a demo from his employer. So your onions were safe . I am retired in Seneca SC. enjoy Canada! like your videos.
My parents were visiting Canada from Michigan on 9/11. That was not fun getting back across. The times I've crossed - admittedly few and long before 2001, I had more questions from the US customs coming back in.
We hope you get to go to Quebec. That was a great adventure with a new language. The people of Quebec were great though. Check out historic Quebec City. It is so worth it!
Jimmy and Natalie
It's amazing watching you to travel all over the country and seeing the amazing places that you've been. My husband and I have traveled many times cross country I've never seen a lot of places you both have been. We just travel back from New York in the Adirondacks see you both are in Canada right now if you want to see a place in New York it is called "Ausable Chasm", it is between Plattsburgh, NY & Keeseville, NY. It is a beautiful place to hike! Hope you can see it in the Adirondacks it is breathtaking, enjoy your time in Canada and I always look forward to your videos!
Thanks, iI got my Jimmy & Natalie Sticker. It was a good susprise.
Thank you for the snake warning!!!!
We have been watching for a while now and realized we are not subscribed. So we are now, one of your newest members! See you every Monday!! Put us down for a sticker once you hit your next milestone. We have an Airstream. ;-)
😆 Natalie don’t say anything suspicious LOL!! You guys are so awesome!! I will be crossing into Canada next week and I am SOOO excited!! I hope my crossing is that pleasant!! Lol That water along your hike looked amazing!! The paddle boards looked like a lot of fun!! I’ve never been on one, but want to try it!! Awesome video as always!!!
Hello 👋
too! Climbing 😮, jet boats, river trails....awesome travels so far.
Welcome to Canada! I saw Kitchener on that map, that's where I'm at!
Yay, you guys are finally in my home country Canada!🇨🇦 Depending how far north you guys go “8 hours north of Toronto ” you can go to a polar bear habitat and a Tim Hortons museum.
That sounds awesome!! Not sure if we'll make it quite that far north, but we would love to see that! 😄🇨🇦
Polar bears in Cochran Ontario..
@@lynnetaylor4549yep
I found Canadians so hospitable and more than happy to do anything for you, soo miss it there even though I just went for a holiday, me jealous hehe
Now that you're in Canada..........If you are coming west through Manitoba we know some great camping areas if you'd like some information. Also the ride around Lake Superior is quite beautiful with lots of camping available on the water front. Welcome to Canada.
🥲 A little sad that I didn't get a sticker, assuming I would have gotten it by now since your videos are made a week or more ahead of the release date. 🤞 Hoping to be lucky the next time. Have a great time in Canada.
Hi my name is Chris pretty I know Adam and Steph
I seen your camper van in the back where Adam lives not to far from my tool trailer hahaha
Just wanted to wish uses a great visit in Sudbury Ontario Canada and hope use’s enjoy it here
Hope to see uses before you leave Sudbury 👋👋👋😎😎😎
Welcome to Ontario Canada.
Welcome to Canada! There are lots of fun things to do here...and remember, Canada is BIG,! I hope you come to Ottawa, Canada's Capital. Come and see the Parliament Buildings, and the Rideau Canal which becomes the world's longest skating rink in the Winter. We have lots of museums to visit, The Museum of Nature (which my great grandfather helped build), the Canadian Museum of Science & Technology with lots of big trains and such, The Canadian Aviation and Space museum, the War Museum, among a number of others. If you cross over Ottawa river from Ontario to Quebec, you can also see Gatineau Park with zillions of hiking paths. We also have hundreds of miles of dedicated bike paths, so renting bikes to travel along the Ottawa River is a nice bike trip. Hope you come and enjoy Ottawa!
Hello 👋
How are you doing
Welcome to Canada, eh. As one of your many Canadian subscribers, this is an exciting video milestone.
I look forward to this series of videos, as you experience and document things in your thoughtful and excellent way.
Thank you, that means a lot to us! 💚 We love Canada, and are so excited to finally travel and see more of it! 🇨🇦
@Low Light Mike I wonder if Brent's Vanlife watches Jimmy & Natalie? I think they could teach him a thing or two. Maybe a tour guide like Steph 😃
Hello
Welcome to Ontario Canada, if you’re staying long Tobermory is a nice place to visit 👍
Welcome!!! ... hope you get to explore coast to coast ....our country has many many diverse beautiful places to explore ...
Hi Jimmy and Natalie happy Tuesday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of all of you
You may have entered Canada thru the wrong Border Crossing! If you had traveled up I81 to Alexandria Bay, you would have experienced the 1000 Islands, St. Lawrence River, St. Lawrence Seaway, The Power Project, You could have taken the 2 castle tour from Uncle Sam Boat Tours (Boldt Castle and its Yacht House and Singer Castle) and just after you crossed the 1000 Islands Bridge and then the Rift Bridge and entered Canada there is always the 400ft tall Canadian Tower on Hill Island where you could have seen the majority of the 1864 islands in the St. Lawrence River.
Apparently since I entered the first giveaway I don't need to reenter for this giveaway. I love watching your adventures because I can't hike like that.❤
We would have loved to meet up with y'all while you were in NY. We are in the finger lakes region!
Welcome to Canada! I hope you have a wonderful stay in my home country.
Welcome to Canada. I hope you enjoy the many sights and experiences we have to offer
Thank you!! We're so excited to be here! 🇨🇦😄
Awesome video well come to Canada 🍁 EH lol good you made it 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
Mad love from the east coast of Canada :) New Brunswick :) You will love Canada !! Enjoy
No worries about snakes in this part of the country. The only possible venomous ones would be Massasauga rattlers but that would be extremely rare and as snakes go they’re small and their bites are seldom deadly to adults.
I got your sticker it will be the first one on our rv thanks.
Can’t believe all that you’ve done in just a few days! Looking forward to seeing Canada through your travels! Another happy Monday with Jimmy and Natalie, and of course Steph! ❤
Thanks so much Samy!! We always love seeing you in our comments! 😊💚
@@JimmyandNatalie Seriously, you are my favorites!
Another great vid guys!
So -- those of us who watch "all the conversion channels" are wondering why Steph was alone and where her bus is.
We’ll keep ya wondering 😅
Those John Lennon glasses!
Hello 👋
Nice to meet up with people!!! Lots of fun...
Lovely to see Steph in your video ( I hope she is doing well) .
"Scratch that, we're going to Mexico..." cracked me up. 😅
Ketchup chips are so good. They are big here in Oregon as well. I like to dip my plain potato chips in ketchup. Yummy.
Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦 come to Kelowna bc ❤ Lol see u next week
Don't forget to visit us in Newfoundland. Gros Morne on the West coast is a must and if you come to St. John's we would be happy to be your Tour Guides.
Great show from a Canadian living in Orange County, CA.
Welcome to our wonderful country. Hope you find all the really beautiful places here.✌🏻💖🇨🇦
Thank you!! We love Canada, and are SO excited to spend some time exploring it! 💚🇨🇦
Welcome to CANADA hope you have an amazing time!!! Sorry for our gas prices 😢but don't let that discourage you from exploring. Ya Tim's is my coffee place ☕. Can't wait to see where you go. 🥰 Drive safe have fun
Yay, Tim Horton's!!! I had to do the same thing when my sister and I went to Toronto in May.
Hello
Love watching you guys Pete cape town south Africa
Welcome to Canada. Hope you guys enjoy our beautiful country. I live 2 hours from Niagara Falls. Can’t wait to see where you go.
Welcome to Canada Jimmy & Natalie! We live in Tiny Ontario & love watching your vids. We're in the process of building our Ford Transit camper van. We envy you soooo much. ❤❤
Welcome to Canada! 😁. Not gonna lie, i’m super excited to see your reactions once you arrive here in Alberta. I have a guilty pleasure of assisting tourists with hidden gems not really noted on the ‘tourism’ pages
Welcome to Canada!! I hope that you enjoy every moment here.
Tim Horton's in in New-York state! There is one in Rochester (Henrietta). Not quite the same experience as in Canada though...
Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦 !!! I’m so happy you’re here !!!
Thanks so much Dana! We're happy to be here! 😄
Glorious!! Yep, we're hooking up and headed to Canada. You're doing it so right Kiddos.
@Giveaway887 SCAM
I enjoyed my ride on the jet boat with my 16 year old, in the front row. You two should try it sometime.
Welcome to 🇨🇦! Hope you enjoy your stay.
Have a nice trip in Canada but if you want to see the European side you have to come to see Quebec, you will be amazed by the people and warm welcoming of the french speaking population and dont worry most of the population speak french and english 😊 à bientot !
Thanks for the sticker!!! Enjoy Canada!!! We are South of Manitoba!!!💕
Welcome to Canada! Enjoy your time.🇨🇦
Your a wonderful couple I love your program. A Canadian friend
WELCOME TO CANADA. We are about 2 1/2 hours north of the falls. ENJOY.
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff guys
Thanks!! 😎💚
It was good seeing you have a good time. Steph is awesome
My husband is from Sudbury, Ontario…home of the big nickel….LOL….yep it really exists….we are loving this adventure….you are doing the road trip of our life…first Woodstock now Canada…..♥️
What a beautiful wonderful friend you have in Steph
Crossing the border to Canada was nice and seems easy the lady was pretty nice too. Enjoy guys
I am a subscriber and have been for a long time. I am so happy that you have come to Canada. I hope you guy`s come to Ottawa and see my Beautiful city. No matter where you go in Canada I am sure you will love it.
re snakes- the only venomous snake in Ontario is the Massasauga Rattle Snake. They are a fairly big and obvious species, So Stef is indeed very safe to just pick up any old random snake that isn't that. One of the small blessings of our climate is few venomous snake species - there are only four in all of Canada, according to my google check.
Such a gracious host yu guys had. Enjoy Canada!!
It's kinda funny living in a tiny country where a 1 hour regional train trip is to the neighbor country. Never would that be considered going internationally. We dont even show passports. Proportions and perceptions means so much.
Love watching your videos. They are so much fun.
I rode that jetboat once, we were told that no amount of lifejackets on that boat would prevent you from being sucked into it if you fell in. Supposedly it's extremely strong even though it doesn't look it.
i went to canada ate at mc Donalds bought Mobile gas shopped at Costco everyone spoke american it was great I EVEN SAW SOME CANADA GEESE !
Welcome to our beautiful country.
While in Canada make sure you pick up a ''Toque'' !!
I'm literally sitting next to a mostly empty box of Tim Bits while I'm watching this. A coincidence certainly, but a fun one for me! Enjoy your travels!
I don't know how I ran into your video, but I enjoyed it. I grow up in Niagara on the Lake so a lot of the scenes in your video are familiar. I cross the border many times a week and it's really not a big deal as long as you are honest.
And I've been on that jet boat three time! It's a blast!
Welcome to Canada! I'm glad you guys are off to a good start. Niagara is a beautiful town I'll never get tired of coming to.
Thank you! Totally agree, Niagara is truly impressive! We love Canada, and can't wait to see more of it! 😄
