This day in the life video was shot in January 2023. This is our raw real day to day life minus some mundane details (I already included enough haha). We also decided to explore around the town to show you a bit of the local culture of Hunza. This is an average day in WINTER only, in all other seasons we are more active. We didn't anticipate to live in the winter here, we only came back to Pack our house and leave, but we were delayed by two months so go to have a first hand experience of what it was like here in the winter, and we are truly grateful for the experience!

People don't realise that Rosie had a comfortable life, she chose this life because of love, what I love about this sister is that she has a beautiful soft soul, may Allah swt bless her in this dunnya and Akirah Ameen sumameen Yaa Raabi 🇬🇧🇧🇩🙏🤗

Love to see you both . A humble request from uk , Now you can search on you tube from th amount of 15 lakh rupees you can fix Central heating system in your house . Hope you will be able one day as soon as possible.
Hey Friends ! After popular demand on my instagram, I decided to film a daily vlog of our VERY unique life up in the north of Pakistan ! It's very raw, real, and unfiltered, to give you the best idea of kind of how we spend our days. Obviously I can't include all things, and left out some boring mundane details (as I included enough) Sorry about the length- hope it keeps you interested. I really wanted to share everything so you got the full scope of what it was like there and what we had to face. Including the mold problem- hence how bad my face was. We also decided to take a small tour of the town to share a bit of the local Hunza culture. Also- I just wanted to point out- we didn’t intend to ever live here in the winter, hence why we’re weren’t more prepared. We actually came back only to pack our things and go- but this got delayed 2 months as we could not find a new place to shift. This, we got to experience our first full winter !!! What a wild ride 🤩
Next week I'll be uploading a recap video of the whole last year and a half living there, so you will get to see all the beautiful seasons and all the highs and lows we faced along the way.
Thank you for your support and watching, and I really hope you enjoy it !
Let me know if you like this kind of content and would like to see more :)
44 mint is not enough should be atleast 10hr and 44 mint
wonderful Rosie
Absolutely loved it THANK YOU!! Can't wait for next week😍🌟🙏🏾
@@marishkah8776 ❤🙏🏼 yaaaay ! thank you 🥰
@@ubercrazynoobs4673 Thank youuuuuuuuu ❤❤❤
It was beautiful rosie !
As an Australian living in Pakistan for much of the last 25 years, I can totally relate to the whole "doing what you have to do to get by". Thanks a lot, Rosie.
❤❤
greeting maam.
I lived 2 years in the mountains of Kashmir right after the pandemic started. Pretty much spent the entire time up there. Best 2 years of my life. the mountains, the clouds coming up, the bonfires at night. It took us almost 2 months to get water, when it would rain, it would rain for weeks, food was about 30 minutes drive into the next city, no heat during winters and there weren't alot of comforts that we have in the city. Everyone kept trying to convince us to come back but the serenity was unmatched. This makes me so nostalgic and envious
everyone is dying for living in Canada and here we have this Princess Rossie who left all the luxuries and living a hard life in northern Pakistan, we can learn from this Beautiful soul that we should live our lives by our own choices.
I'm your biggest fan Rossie and following you at every social media platform, keep going and keep teaching us more more, may Allah bless you with His every Blessing Ameen
Everyone who? 😅
Are u serious food isn’t organic life is stressful not natural and things arr coming in end
Pakistan is super stunning, specifically in the Hunza Valley region & across much of Northern Pakistan.
I witnessed the magical Winter scenery abound & of course, some of the world's tallest mountains, of which Pakistan & Nepal own many.
I think that many people live very comfortably across Northern Pakistan, because they'd possess much experience & be well prepared for the harsh Winter's.
They're also very peaceful humans, just so beautiful, both inside & out!
The general scenery is just utterly breathtaking & so out of this world & when one makes a personal visit, one sees this truth!
I am getting travel fatigue having been on the road for 7 months (and counting)in Central America and I didn't want to watch any more travel videos EXCEPT for yours. And I am loving this. Thank you for being authentic in your storytelling. I want to visit Pakistan because of you. Keep safe and keep on being you. LOVE FROM ACROSS THE WORLD - Norah & Susie, The @2TRAVELLINGAUNTIES from Singapore 🇸🇬 currently in Mexico 🇲🇽
wow 7 months already ! Yes traveling certainly can tire you out after a while. Hope you're able to find a balance. Good you have your big travel wagon you can park it up on a beach for a while and just rest! Thank you for your lovely compliments and beautiful comment ❤🙏🏼 happy adventuring ! look forward to the day we get to meet 😍
Extraordinary mountain dream visions, the animals, the wood fire the freezing cold, have experienced ice on the inside of a house before and had to sleep in those conditions but never icicles! Amazing how the people who live there permanently adapt to what Nature provides.
Beautiful, creative, and fascinating video and you're both such gorgeous, photogenic movie stars.
Thank you for sharing and reminding us of the stark reality of living without Western and modern amenities. Bravo!
Thank for watching and for your wonderful comment 🥰❤️
I learnt from you how to express in English nicely .
Im a Pakistani living in Australia for last 13 years. This video wants me to live in Northern Areas of Pakistan with my wife. Just like you and your husband. Exceptionally captured in lens . Thanks Rosie.
Looking at all these videos/pictures of the northern Pakistan makes me want to go so badly! It’s absolutely beautiful Mashallah ❤ I’ve only ever been to the Punjab part of Pakistan but inshallah one day I can explore the country that is such a huge part of my identity
Yes you must go ! But I highly recommend going in the warmer months 😉 spring and Autumn are my favourite ❤
@@RosieGabrielle that’s sound like it will be absolutely beautiful! The only issue is because of work/uni, the times when I have breaks, is during the end of the year (summer for me, winter for Pakistan)! I’ll try to move things around because I desperately need to experience Pakistan in autumn/spring! Inshallah one day
@@Ahmad67475 which university, it is not hard you just have to take a week off and that's it.
@@aasimistic I just finished my Bachelors of nursing and now starting my job as a RN. Especially in the first year of working as a nurse, it’s really hard to take time off! But yeah inshallah, everything works out and I can visit Pakistan again!
@@Ahmad67475 Inshallah, hope it goes It goes Good for you. Life is hard and busy, you gotta take some time out for yourself.
Lucky Your husband is handy, calm, very tender and respectful!! Allah/God Bless You Both and Your animals!! ❤❤❤
With the most regards, sincerly, rosa margriet Holland
Very adventurous i do not realise on video ends so much interesting v difficult to live without electricity.. GOD BLESS
The way u appreciate ur husband is so wholesome! May Allah bless u both!
Ma sha Allah
happy life wid ur home made sub han ALLAH, ALLAH mazeed khusian dy ameeb
I'm Pakistani now living in Hong Kong, but I love to live in northern part of Pakistan, and your videos make me to move there, in sha Allah I will go there one day, thanks for showing us every struggle u face there
You are such a beautiful person. This just proves.
that it is not always what you have, but what you make of it.
Really enjoy seeing you two so happy in such adverse conditions.
Looking forward to next video
Thank you 💓🙏
Rosie thanks for exploring deep into Hunza
Pakistan is amazing, breath taking
Thank You alot Rosie and your hubby for highlighting the daily struggle we people of Gilgit Baltistan face. My body is shivering by imagining how our elders been through this and other harsh situations without any resources and support 😫 🥺🥺. People talk about beauty of our motherland, but they have zero idea of our suffering and the price we pay, the price our generations have been paying 💔. Yet I and many like me miss the winters of north with warming ourselves around bukhari , eating dried fruits and elders telling their stories and experiences. What a moment that used to be. Miss it so much. We are away from motherland but our souls are wandering around our homes gardens, mesmerizing and mighty peaks and streets of villages.
Thanks again for bringing our memories back.
There is not a single person who talked about Rossie's husband, Your husband is really such a nice and humble person
where is he from? from Punjab?
Thank you 🥰🙏🏼 yes, he is amazing ! I’m very lucky
He’s half Punjabi half Balouch
Much respect to you and to your hubby for showing us this tough part of life. Although, it has snowed in with -14 outside, I’m watching this from the cosy home in Canada and can’t imagine without being heat or in a heated mall for shopping. ❤❤❤ from 🇨🇦
I have now watched it all and have to say thank you for making and editing it all - love the local life details/charachters and of course the dogs.
Thank you for your love & appreciation 🙏🏼🥰
Beautiful view beautiful amazing super video gilgit baltistan mountain valley Pakistan
It's a beautiful way of life it's pure and you are amazing.
The struggle is real. Hope you two find a nice cozy place soon with electricity and running water. Greetings to Adeel, the hard working man! Thank you for sharing a day from your life, Rosie. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi Rosie , Im Your Hubby's Friend from Lahore living Askari 10 , we used to play Basketball here , he is very Good Player , Nice to see him after a long time and you and Your Hubby is Mashallah A very Beautiful couple , feeling proud of You despite of very less facilities in Pakistan you manage to settle here and living a beautiful lovely life ❤❤❤❤
I really loved watching this and getting a glimpse into your daily life in Hunza Valley. I've always romanticized remote mountain life so it's really invaluable to see the actual challenges of the reality in such a beautiful yet harsh place. Thank you so much for your efforts in making this video for us & hope you share more (if you can/want) 😊
Thank you so much for your appreciation ❤ haha yes, many have this romantic idea of mountain living- guilty- even we did ! obviously we knew there would be challenges, but one can never prepare themselves for this. But we're happy it happened this way and learnt so much ! next week I'll have my two year re-cap video of living in Hunza, hope you enjoy that just as much, then you can see mountain life in ALL seasons !
So nice to share part 9f your life again Rosie. I wondered where Winston was ? It real is a beautiful place and educating to learn how life is there in Hungary. Sending as much warmth and love as I can to you all.
Thank you ❤ 🙏🏼 Winston is doing great ! So is Gracie (havnt seen her on my TH-cam yet but she’s my adopted addition from Lahore- will be doing special video on her story- it’s remarkable) missing them both like Crazy! You will see them in next weeks video as I do a 2 year re-cap video of us living in the north. Sadly I had to leave them back in Canada with my mom last year. We had two near death experiences with Winston in Hunza 😢 and there are no vets up there. It was too scary for me, with Winston getting older , I left him in Canada. I’ll return this summer, and hopefully be with them permanently after that. Winston is getting older and I want as much time with him as possible 🥹
Thanks Rosie for showing us which we Pakistanis never see in our life,normal winter life of Hunza, salute
the best video ever i have seen!
You’re lucky that you have got the generator and propane gas available. Imagine other people in the village relying on wood and no electricity at all. We have spent our whole life with these tough conditions and you well said mountain people are very strong. Sending love and prayers your way ❤
What a good vlog to watch. Did not bore me for even a sec. Hats off to both of you enjoying, celebrating, and thriving up there! :)
Thanks for the wonderful feedback !! I was worried with the length people might get bored, but so happy to hear this 🥰
What an talented Artist, he makes beautiful and amazing wooden art!!! Chapeau to him!!
I am following you for a long time since you came to Pakistan. You are truly an iron lady and an inspiration to a lot of women out there. The way you portray the positive image of Pakistan and your authentic storytelling is amazing. More power to you and May ALLAH swt bless you and all Muslim Ummah. Thank you for your beautiful work.
Rosie u r such a soft soul😊 Allah bless u and your family
Thankyou for showing us this aspect of life in the northern areas , Rosie 😊💖
You need a bigger wood stove. You need a cast iron Pot Belly Stove big enough to put a few big logs in. 6 to 10 inch diameter and around 18 inches long. You use small sticks to get the fire going, then you put some bigger logs in. The bigger logs will burn longer. Then you only need to wake up and throw another log or two on the fire once or twice during the night.
It seems like you would know this having grown up in Canada.
In Canada, we have central heating hahaha
In Hunza, we live in a rental in a small village in the mountains with few resources. If you wish to ship me a cast iron stove like that, that would be a wonderful Christmas present 😅😍😬 those stoves are plenty in Canada but you will never see one like that in Pakistan. There are other versions of the bukhari but you can’t find them just anywhere and need special installation- this was a rental so not possible. Just had to make do with what we had.
This looks absolutely amazing. I absolutely love the traditional lifestyle. What an adventurous time you guys are having! Even though there's struggle and discomfort, I believe there's plenty of warmth and love! I've been to Cherat valley and Swat in Pakistan, but this place is on another level altogether!
Greetings, (a British expat viewing from Saudi!)
waoo..amazing..glad to see that you are enjoying hard aspects of mountain life as well..
a little tip on rosh if u allow me..
very little or slightly medium flame..like 20% for 2.5 - 3 KG meat (mutton) for 2.5 - 3 Hrs, should be enough..Beef takes a bit higher flame and some more time..
also, we add lamb back fat instead of butter..and a half glass of water if we want more gravy..
hope that helps and makes your winters warmer, better & more enjoyable..
best wishes..
I salute Rosi... Love you..!
Keep posting videos..!
Lovely to see you both again! If you can put the bed inside a camp tent and hang a plastic sheet above the shower. J've been living on tony houses or caravan for a long time! Big hug!
wow, great tips thanks :) ❤🙏🏼
Thank you so much to show this natural life You choose this life over luxuries love this couple💜
Amazing that she can live such a hard life and not complain or whine one single time!
You need light dry wood to start and for a long lasting once it’s 🔥 up you need to add hardwood like mulberry or apricot wood to stay longer and give better heat.
Mulberry gives lots of firecrackers while burning so need to be careful not cause a fire at home or make holes in the clothes.
The only thing i loved about all this is you guys giving a new life to those dogs. I am a dog owner myself and nothing comforts me more than seeing other people giving all the love and care those dogs deserve.
if you want to have a cozy and warm room in northern aera of Pakistan, make a mud house or atleast two room( a bed and living room). Rooms made of mud (floor and walls inside) remain warm in winter and cold in summer.
You’re dealing with the same challenges our family had as farm owners in rural Northern Ontario in the 70’s. I’m having a flashback.
Absolutely loved it and I'm sorry that the mold in house was so bad and many people struggle and get sick with this but they have no way to get rid of it. May God help all those. Take care and I hope you found a nice warm place to move. Looking forward to see your new place you choose to move in.
Beautiful I saw your video after 2 years I was on bed after my brain surgery because of your videos during my time on bed I get inspired to share my remain days of my life far from home in a place
You could consider affixing a thick woolen blanket to those roof beams, if the house has no roof isolation.
As for heating - you could consider one of those RV oil/diesel heaters. Those vent outside. They can deliver 10kW of heat, which is a LOT. They run from a 12v battery, so you don't have to run the generator while using the heater (but do make sure you can still start the generator next day, don't drain the battery!
They are not exactly quiet, so not really a nighttime solution i think.
An Extremely hard working TH-camr Rosie Gabrielle.
I belong to Rawalpindi and Islamabad still I haven't been to these places which you have explored already in Pakistan.
Thank you ! you should visit, but maybe try a warmer month ;)
@@RosieGabrielle InshaAllah dear sister
Because Hunza is in India so You have not visited HUnza never Gilgit Baltistan belongs to India And kashmir also
@@msdhonifanfamily1796 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The food in the little restaurant looked amazing mash'allah 😍
Dear Rosie, thank you for this video.
I know Hunza only for a short time in
Summer. So i can see your reality in
Winter. And my comfort zone in south
Germany. Wonderful Video. Thank
You Rosie and Adeel. Greetings Rene' 🥰.
Thanks for watching Rene!
I am in USA and when i show ur vlogs to people here thy just dnt believe... love u guys
Its so cold in the houses....in Badakhshan it was Same problemes...and Wood is soooo expensive. ,heating costed me about Double price then in Switzerland ..and salleries....hmmm no...sometime the people go to relatives in the cities..if they can
Rosie is so natural and remarkable women. Life isn’t easy in the mountains as you can see. Rosie is just unbelievable. He jusband is very supportive that’s why she’s willing to live there to be by his side. I’ve always love Hunza & knee about it from long ago. I give her lots of credit on her way of living which looks difficult but yes rewarding to experience another way of life. God bless her for being so open minded. She and husband are remarkably strong and resilient. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful view of life of Hunza. Stay blessed. Greetings from New York City 🙏
Thank you for your kind words and beautiful comment ❤️🙏🏼 thanks for watching
mold and humid...hope this time of isolation and ordeal brings both of you guys more strength and happiness for your next journey...
I appreciate you sharing your life with us.
it's so exciting to see you guys living in the mountains wish you a safe stay in the north
Rosie is charismatic girl and she has living according to their ideal thought and her husband is absolutely greatest man so I best wishes to this beautiful couple remain happy always .
Thank you for showing such beauty !
Omg really it's was amazing I love Pakistani food culture and hospitality big love from Germany
very happy, that Allah chose you to join us in Pakistan. May you be blessed, Ameen
Rosie take a look at a Chinese diesel heater, they cost around 140 dollars and run on diesel or cheaper Kerosene and only use about 1 litre for around 8 hours, I use one in my van and it's wonderful.
Crazy how you've adjusted to life there
I’ve become quite the adaptable chameleon over the years of traveling. One must be flexible and open to learn and grow. It’s a great experience that teaches you many things. That and now I’m so much stronger and more grateful for everything !
I love the positive vibes, may god bless you both.
Hey Rosie, I have been following you for a very long time. You always tried to show the good and positive image of Pakistan to the world. I am from Neelum Valley of Azad Kashmir. I request you to visit here anytime. It will be great.
one of the beautiful country in the world Pakistan has all seasons winter,summer.autom and spring and mountains,feildes ,deserts and rivers and sea
Love you so much for sharing this amazing life story of ur self wow I will never be able to live like this..
You have a heart for animals that's great
Amazing! Well done. Very interesting. Keep healthy.
Lot of respect and Love my sister
Whoop Rosie’s next adventure video.
Love it.
Make the the end of a weekend much much better. ❤️
Thank you for watching 🥰🙏🏼
Mash’Allah! May Allah continue to bless and protect you and your family 🤲
Dear Rosie
I have visited most of the north of Pakistan except Hunza valley it's been on my list for so long INSHA ALLAH I will visit soon and want to meet up.
I would last about 2 hrs in this situation, and yes, the two hours with electricity. I hope you were able to go somewhere without mold, but I'm in awe of how you both persevere here. Thanks for sharing!
Ya, I have no idea how we were here for over two months in these conditions 🤪 hubs ended up getting frostbite on all his fingers, I got sent down before him because it was just too much for us and needed a break.
Stuff is all in storage now , still didn’t find a place, hopefully will get something by end of summer and relocate.
Part III soon to come!
@@RosieGabrielle Wow. So glad you got out, holding the vision that you find the right spot soon!
Wholesome
Stay Blessed ...
yours life so simple but full of happiness 😊 Allah blessed you
I really enjoy your real time video
Thanks for my mode change
Whatever it is, it's soothing
Hey Rosie. We use the pressure cooker all the time. You can't just leave it for 2 hours, you have to check it and add water every 15 or 20 mins. My bike goes to customs warehouse on Friday and I will pick her up in Chennai in March. I hope I will be able to meet up with you guys when I get to Nth Pakistan in Summer
oh really !!! dang, never knew that.. but super strange... so we made the exact same meal the week before- cooked it for even longer- 4 hours and it was PERFECT !!! but we did have twice the amount of meat- that was the only difference, but didnt' burn at all, then couple days before this, we made with half the amount of meat- same like this vlog day, and it was burnt to a crisp !! couldn't salvage a bite! so we thought to reduce cooking time, but that wasn't it. Hubs says my meat butter ratio was off, but next time will make sure to check up on it more often 😬
Wow the big bike adventure begins !!! so exciting !!! yes, for sure hit us up when you get to this side of the border. N. Pakistan is best in Sept. Hopefully we'll have a new house set up at that time (with no mold hahah) and you can come by for a visit ! IG is best way to reach out if you need any help/guidance along the way ~ All the best and thanks for watching !
@Rosie Gabrielle thank you. I'm riding a 2008 KLR and I've been following you since you were on the KLR
@@RosieGabrielle I messaged you on Insta a couple of weeks ago and no response. I guess you get a lot of DMs. I will say hello again so I go to the top
so much happy iam to look u both are happy and so much love together may allah bless u both
Loved watching this video. How about hanging curtains from the ceiling round the bed,like an improvised foreposter bed. In the old days they were used for a reason,be lovely and toastie. Xx
haha nice idea ! I used to have a canopy bed, I felt like a princess. Thanks for watching :)
I am a Pakistani living in Canada... Love this life... I live in Kashmir and it's just like it...
Lovely vlog glad to see you have a heater to heat up the house
Nice good to see you both again keep sharing videos like this. God bless you.
wow another masterpiece... I loveddd itt because everything was real and u showed how its actually done...love u both...May ALLAH help u more..stay blessed.. love from KPK .❤️❤️
Hubs is really a nice guy.
Blessings Rosie, I know too much about mold from living in Colorado I got so sick!!😡 I live in Islamabad and the problem in our apartment is much mold😥 seems like a thing in Pakistan. Thanking for sharing living in Hunza. I wonder how it is to live in the mountains. I hope you both stay safe and much blessed!!
Oh no ! Sadly mold is very common here. And they don’t seem to know or care about it which is the funny thing. Maybe their immune systems are higher or they just don’t know 🤷🏼♀️ hope you’re able to find a better environment to base yourself in. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
What a Beautiful Village Life this is
you know Rosie...it is difficult for you since you have seen a comfortable life.
But thank you for being so nice to animals also.
We all need to learn.
I feel a little shameful for not being able to provide these people a better life.
As long as both of you happy, that's alright. Keep safe you too. 😊
This made me miss Hunza so bad! Thank you for these hunza vlogs! You made my day!
Great! Amazing winter experience with snow. There is no doubt that life is very difficult in these areas without facilities. I always thought about the people of these areas, how they are living their life without facilities. To know the difficulties in these areas that are the most difficult experiences of your life, they are appreciated. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy these experiences ۔
Wow, I can't imagine living under such harsh conditions, I'm from Niagara Falls, Canada, and we get tons of snow during winter, but life is very comfortable here as compared to Hunza....salute to Rosie and her hubby 🤣🤣🤣🤣
loved it every second of this video. thanks for uploading
Lovely Place 💞
Oh wow! This is quite amazing. Thanks for showing us this vlog. Makes me appreciate more and oh yes, you guys are such a lovely couple. The river and mountain views are spectacular! Thanks Rosie
I am from Pakistan living in Canada and Rosie is from Canada living in Pakistan 🤓
But she is living in remote area of Pakistan that even I can not think about living. 😬
