    Thank you so much for sharing. I have a bit of a catch up to watch your videos as I’ve followed you from the start, but I’ve fallen behind lately, totally enjoyed this one. It’s hubby’s and my dream to one day have a holiday in Canada, Vancouver. Looking forward to future videos and hopefully you find a new spot for your gorgeous tiny home. Till then, enjoying your trip, way down here from Aus. 🇦🇺🦘

    Nice to see the familiar scenery.. drove past that long group of red roofed buildings a few times. I think we did the trek from Ontario to Nanaimo and back a total of four times... 2 years in a row before we decided to buy here. Happy hunting Adelina!

    Welcome to the island! I've been enjoying your van build series. I hope you have a great time visiting and scoping out a new home for your THOW. As a side note, and I hope you don't mind the comment, I like/prefer when you shoot your videos in landscape format; it captures more of the background and fits the laptop screen better :) Anyway, continued safe travels! Looking forward to your next vids.

    Adelina, a couple of things. First, I hate you! I'm sooooo jealous that you have the guts and freedom to do this kind of thing. Ok, may jealous is too strong a word...very envious. Second, the music you play in this video...high energy...LOVE IT! Changes this to feel even more inspirational. Can't wait to see your next episode. I'm loving your channel. Cheers. :)

      @valeriepippy7540 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@myBIGtinyhouselife No need for an apology. A large number of Canadians don't realize that the Maritimes and Atlantic Provinces are different. When ever there is a snow storm in the Maritimes I get lots of emails asking if we got lots of snow. Usually St. John's doesn't get the same storm.

    I tried to follow your route on Google Maps, but you didn't give enough information. Could not figure out where you took the ferry from. Not that it matters; I'm just a curious sort and I find it interesting. :) You are intrepid to travel alone. I could not do it myself, so I have to live vicariously through you, Adelina. ;) ♥
    Okay, evidently I should have read the description first! LOL You gave all that information there. Thank you. Back to Google Maps! :D
