i remembered what mary said in pride and prejudice : what is man compared to rocks and mountains .
thank you emma for taking us with you in this beautiful journey
Emma! I think we need a storytime about how you met your bf!!! Also it is a wonderful place you visited, really loved this vlog
I agree!
i agree 😍
Same, it’s the first time I heard her saying she has a boyfriend lol
Same! honestly I was shocked 🤩
Kind of figured that out from Emmie's last travel video. The trip to Toronto
Canada is so beautiful. I would love to visit some day. Especially for the mountains
What a great start to Sunday! Mountains are such beautiful things, aren't they? I appreciate all The Hobbit and LOTR references. Maybe the Grizzly Bear was Beorn! Should do a rendition of "Far Over Misty Mountains Cold". And of course we find the bookstores wherever we go! Thanks for another day-brightening episode!
Haven't even made if halfway through the video and I'm just so overwhelmed by the beauty of the landscapes and how you filmed it. Thanks for this breath of fresh air :)))
Awww, as a German who has lived close to mountains for most of my life you crying immediately was just the purest thing ever. So happy you had a great time! 🥰
AHHHH EMMA POSTED! your posts literally being such a smile to my face! you don’t feel like someone just talking to us about books you totally feel like a best friend lol. recently been reading a court of thornes and roses and wanted to tell you all about it!!
haha hi! tell me all about it!!
sooo good! i know you didn’t enjoy sarah j. maas’ other series but this one is a game changer! revolves around a girl who shot a wolf, and she ends up in a magical world just a day later! i think it might make up for the other sarah j maas book! ♥️
Wow emma! I’ve grown up in and around the Canadian Rockies and the way you captured your experience made me look at the places I take for granted in a whole new light! It’s amazing to watch someone take in a whole new place for them 🥰
What gorgeous scenery! When I moved from a very humid climate to a dry climate, for the longest time, every time I touched something with metal, I would get shocked! Thanks for the upload. 😊
It is so lovely that you are able to share these amazing experiences with someone you love. Back here in India, being in relationships before marriage is such a social stigma no matter how old you are. It makes me so sad that pleasures as simple as sharing a home or a vacation with your partner are SO HARD to experience here.
As a Saskatchewanian who sees magpies on a daily basis and who visits Banff yearly it is refreshing to see these things from the perspective of someone experiencing them for the first time. It reminds me to appreciate them more. Thank you. :) Also, "Tisane" is French for "herbal tea." That drink is a tea-based beverage, which is why it is called that. :)
I guess it makes sense, but I was surprised to hear you say you've never been in the mountains.
Im obsessed with the Rockies! My husband is from Colorado, we try to get into the mountains whenever we're there visiting family.
Such an amazing experience. There are no words
Banff and the Canadian Rockies is on my bucket list.
Oh my DAYS I absolutely lost it when I read “first time seeing a magpie” - where I live I see them pretty much everyday. Silly but my Ma brought me up to always habitually greet them, “Morning Mr Magpie; how’re your wife and children?” for good luck hehe! They’re just the most wonderful bird to me. So happy for you that you finally got to meet one. Beautiful birds and a beautiful place! 😍
I am born and raised in Calgary and still live there today! I’ve grown up hiking and exploring Banff and it made me soooo excited that you got to come experience the beauty of the Rockies!!!
Wow, so stunning, Emma!!! Reminds me of my time in and around Denali, Alaska. Core memory unlocked there! Beautiful vlog. Off topic, but I thought of you when they announced the new Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley game coming out!! So excited! 🏔️
ah wow I'd love to visit Alaska and omg there's a game coming out?!
Omg I’m so happy you made a full video on this. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking 💛
I remember building this snow “fort” when I was younger and that same night we found a moose sleeping in it. Core memory 🥰 This was a really cozy vlog which reminded me of that! ❤️
As always, the views of nature captured on camera are just wow, awesome
This video makes me want to go on holiday.. looks beautiful.
Glad your doing good 😊
literally started crying less than a minute in at the scenery just before you came in and had your casual breakdown so i can only imagine how moving the mountains and the town would be in person :')
I literally just saw your out of breath IG post at looking at the Rockies. 🏔 Even happier we get a video! I’m sure there is a HUGE smile on everyone’s face that you posted! 🥰
Same here!!
awe I'm glad, it was probably my favourite trip I've been on!
Thank you for sharing your experience 💕 I love how in touch and in awe of nature you always are. The part about not being allowed to feed the chipmunk who CLEARLY wanted you to fail at resisting made me lol.
That's my kind of summer vacation - sweaters and snow!
Gosh, what breathtaking views! Thank you so much for filming this, Emma 😊
Thank you so much for this video. My family and I started hiking last year during a family vacation. It was a true revelation for me. This video really brought those memories back and also made me want to integrate hiking in our regular life so we can build some stamina, perhaps plan hiking vacations. This video resonated with me. So thank you so much for this
I'm literally at the airport right now waiting for my flight back to Toronto after spending time in Jasper and Banff! Stunning scenery especially along the Icefields Parkway 🤩
awe I hope you had an amazing time, how was Jasper??
Its summer here and the temperature is almost 44°C so can't really go out anywhere so thanks for a virtual trip to the mountains.
oof hope it cools off a bit soon!
dehli?
@@manasvi4404 India but not Delhi.
This got me extra excited for my mountain hike this weekend!
I remember seeing mountains for the first time last May and I had the same reaction--haven't been able to get enough, since!
This was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for capturing the magical nature there ✨️ I also loved the music you choose for this vlog. It added so much to the watching experience ❄️💙
Banff is beautiful! I live near the White Mountains of New Hampshire and it's hard to express how beautiful the mountains are until you see them. There is something so majestic and humbling about them -- even more so about climbing them! I loved seeing everything you did on this trip and I want to go to Banff now! Thank you for this great vlog. :)
Emma! I grew up in Calgary and used to go to Banff every winter as a kid. Now I’m in the UK but your vlog brought such lovely memories back 🥹 glad you had such a wonderful time ✨
Beautiful! I live at 4,700 ft at the foot of the Cascade mountains so when you said you were going to the mountains for the first time I just couldn't imagine that as a possibility. That looked like a fun trip and yes the mountains are so dry it takes a toll.
i love the way you vlog, i love you altitude, your general vibe, the way you talk about books. every time i watch your videos i just feel so nice and calm. have a beautiful day
Her reaction when she found bookstore is so cute ☺️ and exactly us any readers can relate to 😂 also I just want to let you know everything about you are so comforting and inspiring to me, you’ve changed my life so much Emma you have no idea.. i fall in love with classics and literature books also because of you, how unpretentious and lovely sweet you are, despite what life has thrown at you and me, all of us..watching your videos makes me feel happy and continuing with my life and passion. I’m proudly said I binged on your videos including from 3 years ago ❤ glad I found your channel Emma..ohh, even my sister said when she saw me watching your video:”ohh who is that? She’s beautiful” 🤭❤️
Oh this vlog is soooo nice..😍
The mountains,the streams and the woods were so pleasant to look at, since I am a loner. I felt like escaping in the woods
Thank u soo much for the vlog 😊
I love Canada but my fave place is western mountains…truly majestic. So glad you got out there. Alberta is magnificent. Yeah you!
I'm so excited that you came to visit the beautiful mountains of my home region♡ I love your videos, thanks for sharing your thoughts on your time here. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Also loving your nails.
It seems like the world has somehow stopped out there. So beautiful and so calm. Stay safe and enjoy Emma! ❤️
Being from Calgary I loved watching you experience the Rockies for the first time. I still feel that joy every time
How beautiful are those mountains and lakes and animals and the cave and the river! Thank you for taking us with you, Emma! 💚 it's like i'm already taking a trip here in my own bedroom haha
Ugh I can't wait to go back to Banff someday. Sending love from Montana💙
I used to go to Colorado every summer growing up, and the service workers there were almost always from outside the US. I think it’s typical in a lot of other countries for young people to live in North America for the summers in places like the Rockies. I always loved it because I got to meet people from different places! And they always had lovely accents 💙
Love this video! Got me super excited to go on my trip to west Yellowstone in two weeks. I live in Saskatchewan and I haven’t seen the mountains since 2018 so this trip is much needed!
Ahhh hello from the Rockies! I live in Colorado, the U.S. portion of these breathtaking mountains
Oh wow, that was beautiful! Happy to hear you had such a good trip. I love all the Tolkien references. 😄
What a beautiful vacation spot. I love the architecture of the cottages. I bet everything would look gorgeous covered in snow. This was such a lovely spot. Thanks for sharing :)
LOL Re the NZ comment - Its called the OE or overseas experience, Every Kiwi from NZ, travels to Canada (same british common wealth) and gets a work visa and works in Banff or Alberta or BC for a season. THat is why its is so easy to get seasonal work visas. After they have done some work, experienced another culture, they do some more traveling - often to USA or Europe before going back home, settling down, getting married and start the family. My sister did her OE in the early 1980s - she met her kiwi spouse on his OE in England. They got married in NZ in 1986. Her daughter (my niece) did her OE back in 2018. She worked at Whistler for 6 months, and then came to visit me in Toronto, before flying back to NZ. The niece is now engaged but not married yet. It is a very cultural thing for young adults from NZ to do. Go see the world after school before getting married, Partly to do with NZ being so isolated. Traveling to Australia does not count as the OE because that is just a 3 hour flight away - not a 24 hour flight. I know this because I am from NZ - but I emigrated to Canada after marrying my Canadian spouse. I have been here for 20+ years now.
WOW some of those mountain views are amazing!!! You did really great with your hiking despite not having climbed any mountains before!!!! Wonderful Vlog!!
sooo calming ... thank you
Breathtakingly beautiful,serene and pure art of nature.
Oh my God! I'm obsessed with the Rockies now! I really really really need to go to Banff!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 Thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us, it actually felt like I was there too!!
omg can't believe that was your first time seeing a magpie!! they are everywhere in the UK they're as common as pigeons and seagulls lol
As beautiful as it is now, I think Lake Louise in mid-summer is the most breathtaking place I've ever been. Even surrounded by hoards of milling tourists, its awesomeness is inescapable. Your emotions here bring the experience right back to me. By the way, "Emma Finds a Bookshop" sounds like the title of a children's book.
haha I was not expecting it to be frozen, I'd love to see it again in summer :')
I absolutely love Banff! Glad you got to explore and enjoy its beauty!
Went to Jasper, Banff, Lake Louise, Calgary and Vancouver in August 1994. Thoroughly loved it. There was less snow and ice when I went in August though. Cant believe there's that much snow in May/June.
omg the nicest surprise to start my day!!!
Snowy mountains always reminds me of Ansel Adam's work. I would listen to Sigure Ros all day looking at those type of scenery.
I'm a New Zealander; but my parents live in Calgary and I've spent a lot of time in Banff. So strange seeing you walking around the Fairmont - halls I've spent a decent amount of time walking. The world is small! (Also; lots of Kiwis do their gap year working hospo in Banff; Canmore etc! Funny you picked up on that!)
Thank you so much Emma for sharing your trip to Banff with us
Such a beautiful and calm video! Very zen!
That was wonderful! Thank you. Banff is the home of a very famous music area. There’s a famous art school in Canada I thought about seriously when I was around 17.
Ahhh i love this video its so calming especially since my exams are right around the corner so ive been really stressing recently! Tysm and stay safe
Everytime I see my favorite book at a bookstore, I just have the inane urge to buy it again. Even if I own it.
to listen to just nature
or in thr background a little of fleet foxes or the staves
Awesome. Congrats on reaching the top. I've been to the top of Mount Reiner in Washington state. Insanely beautiful but the weather at the base of the mountain can be quite nasty. Lmao 🤣 I love bookstores too. So thank you for having two of my favorite things in one video. Mountains and bookstores. The best bookstores I have around me are Goodwill's 🤣
Omg that's stunning! It reminds me of the Patagonia here in South America! Similar landscapes
So happy to see that u posted and that it’s 30min long! Luv ur content Emmie
I love that you say "slippy." :) I do too and have gotten some flack for it all my life!
Emma, thank you for this great travel vlog. I loved the scenery and wildlife. Thanks for sharing.
I love this vlog so much.
i used to live about 15 mins from banff and i absolutely adored it and still miss it
I hope you get your Northern Exposure moose moment soon. The blue on the mountains is so beautiful, I'm internally bawling my eyes out.
Seriously? First time seeing mountains? Good onya Emmie, fantastic adventures
I very much relate to the underestimating mountains. I lived on sea level my whole life and consider myself in relatively good shape. I didn't realize how much elevation truly kicks your ass
The Red Chairs with the view -- Perfection! 👍💕
Thank you Emma
Emma this vlog is absolutely sunning!! I hope I can visit the rockies someday !!
What beautiful scenery! I've been to the Rockies in Colorado, but the Canadian Rockies look even more impressive! Ah, maybe someday I'll get there. I'm glad your most challenging confrontation was with a coffeemaker and not bears.
I was hoping you'd make a vlog of your experience! The Rockies look absolutely breathtaking 😍
So glad you’re back!
This video was the therapy session I didn't know I needed.
I just went to jasper and banff last month, it is unreal 😍😍😍 the icefields parkway is a must!
I want to go there. So beautiful. Thanks for the tour.
Oh my gosh, everything looks so beautiful! 💜 thank you for the vlog, Emma. Hope you had a lovely time with your bf 🐿
A book souvenir is so much better than a refrigerator magnet, not that there is anything wrong with souvenir magnets. I have many.
OMG it looks so beautiful! New location for my bucket list
What an amazing video! Thank you for sharing this adventure with us. I’m so glad you didn’t run into any grizzlies…or moose. I know you wanted to see a moose, but they can be quite aggressive. Once again, thank you.
I was eagerly waiting for one of your uploads... So happy to see this pop up in my subscription box. Hope you had a great vacation💛💛
Love u so much giiiiiirl🥺💜🦄
I love your vlogs, so happy about the new camera 🌸❤️
Thank you for sharing your vacation; what a beautiful place.
wow what a great vlog ❤ I'm from Vail, Colorado and this made me miss my mountains so much ❤
Beautiful country. I used to live in Colorado, it’s breathtaking. But Glacier National Park is my favorite.
It reminded me so much of hill and ridge walking in Austria 50 years ago. Thank you so much for triggering some lovely memories. Stay safe young lady.
The pine trees reminded me of gravity falls!
The magpies and the lake reminded me of Trespassen too woahhh
Such an awesome place~ wish I could go there too
as someone who lives in the rockys (ight near rocky mountain national park) i forget how beautiful they are sometimes but golly gee there pretty
How beautiful! And New Zealanders are everywhere. They are huge travellers.
that was very beautiful and calm to watch i hope you had a good and relaxing time emma❤
Beautiful video. Everywhere you go, you have little animals near you. You are Snow White. Thank you for sharing, your video reminds me of our trip to New Zealand.
this town gives me “life is strange true colors” vibes and i’m here for it
If you love mountains then you should definitely visit Nepal cause it is filled with mountains and the worlds tallest mountain, Mt.Everest also lies there and trust me it is worth it, the mountains are so pretty there
