As someone who was born and raised in mtl. it was great to see a travel episode that showed a trip home that wasn't trumpeting the food and old Montreal, the mountain,and the plateau the whole time. Thank you for your take on it. I go back for a visit in September and will check out a couple places you suggested.
wow this is such an honour! im so glad you enjoyed it, and especially coming from a mtl native like yourself! i hope you have a lovely visit next month and the weather is beautiful for you :)
i'll be doing a solo trip to montreal (my first one!) and this video was so helpful! thank you for posting all the names of the places you visited, looked like a great trip :)
ahhhh i hope you had the most amazing time!!! im glad this video was able to hype you up though, that is actually so touching to hear, wow im honoured. i hope you fell in love with the city just like i did though!
ahh im so glad you enjoyed it! solo travelling is such a fun experience and i understand the hype about it now! safe travels to you, i hope it is a great experience!
Very wholesome. Long time native who lives regularly in all these parts, and this is a fun way to experience life as a local would. We'd nitpick a couple places based on our own preferences, but nothing here was something we'd sneer upon. Good to see someone appreciating a lot of things we take for granted.
wow this is so nice to hear! i tried to explore as best as i could and simply doing things i wanted to do haha, but i do want to come back so if you do have any other recommendations for me, feel free to let me know! thanks for watching though :)
This was great! Thanks. I think I will be retiring soon and I want to go to Québec (from BC). I’ve never travelled solo but I think I may have to embrace that.
only 8 months late on this comment...HAHAH but im from BC too (!) so going to montreal felt like a great location within canada to do a lil trip, but eep congrats on retiring! hope quebec works out for you if you decide to follow through :)
@@march.moments hehe no worries. I’m still planning on going there. I’m just brushing up on my French and trying to get in fitter shape (years of sitting at a desk have taken a toll) so I can enjoy it better. I’m still trying to decide when is the best time to go. Montreal seems like a summer city (with festivals and whatnot) but Quebec City looks so charming in winter or spring.
Very nice ! if you happen to go again , take a look at the RESO it the world largest underground " City " its about 33km without stepping outside ! but if it Rain , Montreal have Countless Gems
@@march.moments And Next time you Go , If you would like to Team up , i am a Professional model photographer , and i hunt Beautiful Gems Hidden into city ( Locations with History ) i am not from Montreal , i am from Ottawa , but i would Gladly go down For Something like that . actually going next week to shoot Haunted Montreal Locations :)
Thanks for sharing your trip experience. Where was that comic/anime store with the POP! figures and the prints (you pulled out a Zuko/Uncle print)? Do you remember the name of the shop? I’m going in August & would like to get souvenirs there. 😊 thanks
ahhh i hope im not too late, i think the shop is called Planète Otaku!! it was super large and had so much content, i was so overwhelmed (in a good way!!) have a lovely trip :)
hey! enjoyed your vlog! not sure if you will see this haha but i’m planning a solo trip and feeling kinda nervous about it. could i ask which part of montreal you stayed in and how did you get around? is it generally safe to stay out when it is dark? thanks in advance!
heLLO IM SO SORRY THIS IS SO LATE. if you already went on your solo trip, i hope it went smoothly and you had an amazing time! if not, then i stayed in the "quartier des spectacles" and back when i went it was defs safe to stay out when it was dark. if i ever feel uncomfy being a solo female out on ze streets, i usually pull out my phone and act like im talking on the phone with someone else, but generally i felt safe! i absolutely love travelling solo for so many reasons, if not, just for being selfish and doing all the things /i/ want to do without having to compromise with my travelling buddy haha but i hope this eases a few of your nerves and hope u have/had a lovely time by yourself hehe
helloooo thank you so much for your detailed reply!! and no i have not gone on it yet hehe am rly planning it currently. i have been solo travelling and love it for the same reasons that you do!! just love the freedom and that i can be carefree~ but i’m from asia, so canada/ the US seems so so far away 😂 thank you tho i will keep your suggestions in mind!!! thank you so much, really appreciate it!!! :)
How long did you stay there? Also what was your budget including airfare? I really want to plan a solo trip of my own to Montreal. Also did u stay in an Airbnb or hotel?
i stayed there for about 4 days and i spent under 1k for my whole trip, including airfare (~$300), airbnb (about $100/night) and activities (art gallery, comedy show, food, shopping)!
that's super exciting, i hope you get a chance to go! honestly this was still in covid times so i was a little wary of public transit and ended up just walking everywhere! i can't say too much about public transit, but the city is super walkable :)
Hey, don't know if I'm too late on this but if you come to Montreal and don't want to use transit too much, you can always get a bixi pass. Its 18$ for a month of unlimited rides on the bikes. Super convenient.
@@bikesarebest Hey, thanks for the comment. It's been three weeks since I was there and I spend most of my time walking to fill in the time. It was a great 3 day trip, I love your city!
ooh honestly i was just walking around and checked out any shops that interested me, rather than specifically looking for certain shops. But a lot of good shops are along st. laurent blvd from rue saint-antoine to like rue bernard (which would take you from chinatown to mile end). as for the art gallery it is the montreal museum of fine arts!
@@highlyfavoredSharon eep fun! i hope you do end up going, it is such a lovely city! mm for accommodation, i stayed near saint denis and sherbrooke area and i just found a one-bedroom airbnb. as for transportation, i went during covid times so i was still wary about public transit and instead managed to walk everywhere! the city is quite walkable and the weather was gorgeous so i didn't run into any problems with that :)
i believe it's the middle length tna superpuff (like not the cropped one and not the knee length one).. im not sure what it is called entirely but i hope you can find it
if you speak to them first in english then they easily transition over to speaking english ! i was able to converse in french a lil bit from my french immersion training but they were always happy to speak in english if i transitioned to that language!

I’m traveling solo to MTL this weekend I’m excited and you’ve hyped me up some more!
ahhhh i hope you had the most amazing time!!! im glad this video was able to hype you up though, that is actually so touching to hear, wow im honoured. i hope you fell in love with the city just like i did though!
This is amazing! I’m planning to do a solo trip at New Year’s and this was such an authentic experience
ahh im so glad you enjoyed it! solo travelling is such a fun experience and i understand the hype about it now! safe travels to you, i hope it is a great experience!

I'm traveling there in september, i was wondering if you used USD, card or did you use their currency?
3:13 where was it? I would to visit. Thanks for the video.
mont royal! it's in the bottom corner of some of the earlier clips
Which bagel shop did you go to at the end of your video for the best bagel you’ve ever had?
not me replying 10 months late, but it's in the bottom corner of the video-it's called bagel & cafe!
How long did you stay there? Also what was your budget including airfare? I really want to plan a solo trip of my own to Montreal. Also did u stay in an Airbnb or hotel?
i stayed there for about 4 days and i spent under 1k for my whole trip, including airfare (~$300), airbnb (about $100/night) and activities (art gallery, comedy show, food, shopping)!
did you rented a car, what was your favorite type of transportation? I am thinking of traveling solo to Montreal this summer too
that's super exciting, i hope you get a chance to go! honestly this was still in covid times so i was a little wary of public transit and ended up just walking everywhere! i can't say too much about public transit, but the city is super walkable :)

@@IamJohnnyFan I'm happy you enjoyed it! Come back soon!
Hello, what are the names of the two stores shown on day three?
Thank you so much for your help
Happy to help!
Hi! Can you please share the list of shops you visited and the art gallery? Thank you!
ooh honestly i was just walking around and checked out any shops that interested me, rather than specifically looking for certain shops. But a lot of good shops are along st. laurent blvd from rue saint-antoine to like rue bernard (which would take you from chinatown to mile end). as for the art gallery it is the montreal museum of fine arts!
@@march.moments Wonderful! Thank you! We only have one day to do everything in MTL and I don't want to spend half a day lost! 🙂
@@avee71 ahhh i hope you had an amazing time and were able to see everything you wanted to!
Hello!!! Amazing girl you are... so brave!
🧡
I'm curious about your accommodation and transpo? can I have some info? I'm planning to visit this please soon 🙂
@@highlyfavoredSharon eep fun! i hope you do end up going, it is such a lovely city! mm for accommodation, i stayed near saint denis and sherbrooke area and i just found a one-bedroom airbnb. as for transportation, i went during covid times so i was still wary about public transit and instead managed to walk everywhere! the city is quite walkable and the weather was gorgeous so i didn't run into any problems with that :)
Cute vlog! I wouldn’t be able to walk in heels if my knee hurt. 😬
honestly me neither, i changed out of them real quick haha
which puffer jacket do you wear?
i believe it's the middle length tna superpuff (like not the cropped one and not the knee length one).. im not sure what it is called entirely but i hope you can find it
@@march.moments ohhh i know which one you mean! i have the same jacket but the ankle length one HAAHHAAH
What month did you go?
i went in november! i really lucked out on the weather at this time!
Amazing & great
thanks so much!!!
Do people mostly speak in French, in Montreal?
if you speak to them first in english then they easily transition over to speaking english ! i was able to converse in french a lil bit from my french immersion training but they were always happy to speak in english if i transitioned to that language!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.greeting from IRAN❤😉🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷
Where did you stay ,
i stayed at an airbnb near saint denis street and sherbrooke!
Yay, she's not British. I don't want to catch the British disease.
