Welcome to Canada and as a fellow Nova Scotian, so terribly sorry about your first night experience!! Wishing you many, many more refreshing and friendly nights to come ❤
@@kimc6177 thank you so much for the lovely warm welcome 🤗 the amount of welcomes in the comment just sums up how kind everyone is here, we have loved Nova Scotia and are very happy to be here 🤗❤️🇨🇦
I'm so sorry that your first night in our wonderful province was spoiled by the ill manner of a fool. Wishing you enjoyable encounters and safe travels for the rest of your stay. ❤
@@crystalgregory5701 thank you, I won’t let one person ruin our wonderful experience, Nova Scotia has been incredible and the people have been so kind to us, a very special place ❤️
As a Canadian, I'm so sorry you had such a horrible first night in your van here. Each province has an adventure guide book or a back country guide book that you can usually pick up at a tourist location and some fish and tackle shops and in there are maps and lists of back country camping. They can be a really big help especially with finding free camping. I hope the rest of your holiday here goes a lot better :)
Awww thank you so much so many Canadians apologising for the experience just sums up the amazing hospitality I’ve experienced so far, I’ve already forgotten that one drunken man!
Thank you so much for the tip I’ll be looking out for them as that’s a great idea!
Thanks for watching☺️ it’s only been two weeks but Canada has already blows me away 🇨🇦❤️
@@demieverafter that dude was straight up a worsehole. Awful, awful, awful. Apologies in behalf of all of Canada. Some "real Canadian" boys would have schooled that jerk. Unacceptable. :-(
I already absolutely love Canada and Canadians and won’t let one guy taint that, thank you for such a lovely message A holes everywhere in the world we love on though we’re having a blast and so happy to be here ❤😊
❤ welcome to our awesome country 🍁 ❤
@@Mookiethedog thank you, happy to be here 🇨🇦❤️🚐
so sorry you experienced this ... embarrassed as a canadian, that a canadian would treat you so badly with no cause whatsoever ... you are most welcome and i'm looking forward to watching your adventures!
Thank you so much for the warm welcome no one should have to apologise for one drunk person it’s no reflection upon Canadians but just himself! I have been blown away by how friendly and helpful everyone is, every day someone does something to make me smile and it’s incredible, it’s only been 2 weeks and o already love Canada 🇨🇦 thank you again for watching ☺️
@@demieverafter just found your channel yesterday and am catching up slowly ... really enjoying watching your story, hearing of your experiences ... i'm a little further down the road of life than you, hoping to get our own van and build it out in the next year or two, then we'll be hitting the road for our own adventures ... meanwhile, gaining experience from others' tales! see you down the road!
Sad experience but there are losers like this anywhere you may go. Dead beats like that don’t have a life and exist on earth just to make everyone else’s life miserable like theirs! Karma will catch up with him!
I love how the entire comments section is a bunch of Canadians saying sorry.... Have a great trip though eastern Canada!
I know I actually feel bad for putting the clip in the video because Canadians are the kindest people I’ve ever met and so many apologies it’s melted me! Just shows how amazing people really are, happy to be here 😊
That is not typical. Please don’t let this ruin the start to your adventure. Have so much fun!❤
Hey 👋 absolutely agree with you! Our experience of Canada in the past two weeks has been amazing, the place is just breathtaking and above that the hospitality and kindness of Canadians is just incredible, so happy to be here ❤️🇨🇦
Im watching this a month into your holiday, i really hope you have been treated better since! Catching up on your time here with us! It's really neat to see our incredible beautiful country through your eyes!! Thank you and safe travels!!
We’ve had the most incredible eight weeks here in Canada it’s truly stolen our hearts and we can’t wait to re enter next year via the west ☺️❤️🇨🇦
Sorry about your first night. Love the videos. Always interesting to see the perspective of a first time visitor to our beautiful province. It looks like you have the right attitude & explored it the way it should be explored. 👍👍
Thank you for the warm welcome, such a beautiful Provence it really did take a piece of our hearts we were just exploring but now it feels like a special place we want to revisit 🇨🇦❤️
Thank you for visiting Canada, hope you have fun. As a home sick Canadian living abroad thanks. Sorry for your first night,
you have such a beautiful smile. I want to watch all your videos.
Thank you for the warm welcome can’t wait to enter Canada via the west next year! ☺️
Sorry he was so rude, unfortunately parking has become very difficult. Vanlifers are everywhere, have a great stay in Canada. Walmart is a good venue for short overnight stays. Safe travels.
Thank you for the lovely message, we will always respect the rules and leave no trace sometimes other people spoil it for us by leaving mess and making noise or setting up camp on a wild spot but hopefully we will be no bother to anyone, so happy to be here Canada has been incredible so far and the kindest people we’ve ever met! 😊
Welcome to Canada ! Come to British Columbia we love the Brits 🎉❤️
Thank you for the warm welcome 🤗 oh we can’t wait to be in BC it will be sometime next year as we enter back into Canada from the West! Good to hear 😊 thank you for watching !
Welcome to Canada! I'm so sorry for your encounter with the fellow who obviously doesn't embody the kind nature of Canadians. Have a wonderful experience here. Subbed!
Thank you for the welcome ☺️ I’ve been blown away by the kindness of Canadians! It’s only been two weeks and I already love Canada 🇨🇦
Welcome! Make sure to visit a Canadian Tire and grab a Backroads Mapbook and don’t be afraid to call 911 in a situation like you experienced.
Thank you for the warm welcome and kind words, we are after a map so will be sure to pop into Canadian tire for one thank you and very happy to be here 😊
One more advice, eest areas are common in canada. The less frequented routes have dewer but more welcoming. Like Vegreville, Alberta offers free showers with free overnight parking. The view is adorable too. So stray from the tourest path, use the other map routes, the slower ones.
Looking forward to seeing all your adventures Demi, Eadie and Michael
We are very excited 😊😊
Love the energy love the content just love those people off and go on with your epic journey cant wait for the next episode greetings from an cold South Africa
Hello to you all the way in South Africa 😁 ahh thank you for watching we’re so excited to share this adventure! Absolutely that experience is a blip in the past now, onwards and upwards 😊
As a Canadian I can pretty much say this is not the type of experience you are going to have here. Especially in a province like Nova Scotia. People there are usually super nice. Lots to see here. Lots of amazing people. Btw go see Algonquin park if you get a chance.
Hey 👋 oh I definitely already know that… the best thing about Canada so far has been the kindness and friendly people! It’s has blown my mind… I wave at people…just because! We’ve only been here two weeks and we are already so in love with Canada! The raw beauty and the people above all have charmed us!
I don’t take that guy into any account, he’s old news!
Thank you for the warm welcome, we’re so happy to be here ☺️💙🇨🇦
You have a beautiful smile, and attitude, enjoy your travels!
Thank you Dianne ☺️💙
Come to Ontario, Muskoka, Algonquin Park is beautiful
Sadly there are some crappy people out there... As a pleasant European Canadian, welcome to Canada and I hope you have a great time in Canada and meet some great people along the way.❤
Thank you for the warm welcome ❤️ very happy to be here and having to most wonderful time ☺️
If you ever come back to Nova Scotia, as I know that you enjoy a good hike. Check out Crystal Falls in Greenwood, Kings County. Highly recommend. I hike there several times a year. It's the areas little gem. @@demieverafter
I’m sure I will be back! Thank you for the recommendations best places we’ve visited have come from the locals ❤️🇨🇦
Sorry for the unfortunate nite! Please leave time in your schedule for Beautiful British Columbia . It is as beautiful as Alaska and almost as large. Banff Jasper, Vancouver, Stuert Cassier hwy, Niska Volcano north of Terrace. The gold trail from Williams lake to Likley north thru the rockies to BarkerVille and west to Quesnel is an Amazing loop road on your way up or down. Don't forget the Hot springs north off Muncho lake on the Alcan highway(Laird hot springs) and of course, Fuel up at each fuel stop north of Prince George they get further apart and not always open with some gaps of 400km with no fuel and NO PHONE , except with a few kms of a village. Some places have no phone reception but there is free wifi at all public libraries in these tiny villages. Starlink works amazing and well garmin inreach would be a way too go as well and good for taking on hikes. North of Dawson Creek if your a mile off the road there maybe no one for weeks or months come by as therebis little population and not many hiking on the trails. So yes I'd consider Garmin inreach a must. You will be lucky too see a bear so not too worry much there but Do Not Leave garbage outside, that will bring then into camp and garbage bears ARE Dangerous and have too be killed. Enjoy the trip, there's not much in Saskatchewan unless you drive the northern route, but the mozzies will carry you away. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS I look forward to watching your experience thru our wonderful country. Steve h.
Thank you Steve, I appreciate the weak welcome and all the knowledge and info! We try to leave a lot of our planning to finding out from the locals so that’s amazing and we really appreciate it! We will indeed be entering Canada from the west next year and driving across! Very excited 😊
I am so sorry you had to deal with that a hole. Very few Canadian's are like that but unfortunately we do have our share of them. I want to wish you a very big welcome to Canada and enjoy this big beautiful country we call home. You are welcome here.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, honestly Canada so far has been incredible and the kindest people we have ever met so I’ve already forgotten that one drunk man!
So happy to be here!
I hope to meet you two on the road in your travels. Hopefully the rest of your trip will be enjoyable.
Hey 👋 where are you ? We always love the to meet people on the road and if we can make that happen then even better! 😆
@demieverafter I am in Agassiz BC right now but will be traveling to Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba next month.
I truly hope the rest of your stay is uneventful and joy filled.🌹🖖
Thank you John, so kind of you, we’ve only been here two weeks and we’ve been having the most amazing time with the most amazing hospitality..Canada is truly amazing and we’re so happy to be here 🇨🇦❤️
Edie looking out the window like a little teddy bear 🥹
She’s having the best time 🥹❤️
Hi beautiful lady. So much packing, so many lists - and up and away you went. I was wondering how little Edie went. So they don't have any quarantine there. I wouldn't have wanted the little fur baby locked up without her mummy! What a rude man, I guess they are everywhere - but he will not spoil all the fun you are looking forward to. I loved the lighthouse - so beautiful, A lovely place to wake up to. Edie looked like she was enjoying playing and splashing around in the water. Thank you sharing your special time with us dear lady😘💖🐕👩🦽
Can you put that little heart so I can buy you a cup of coffee please. I can't find you on the PayPal list :( Silly me!!
Annie! There you are I was filtering through to see if you had watched…I’m always so happy to read your comments, luckily Edie had no quarantine I was sad that she had to be apart from me for the night but hopefully the length of the trip will be worth it for her, she’s already had so much fun on the beaches. We’re so happy to be in Canada and finally back on our adventures I hope you enjoy the rest ❤ lots of love Annie xx
@@annieamiguet7356awww Annie that’s so kind you don’t have to do that your comments are enough to make us smile, I don’t actually know where it’s gone I’m trying to figure it out - silly me! Xx
Welcome to Canada! I felt heartbroken watching this video. Halifax is my home and the a..hole that you encountered does not represent my city or my country. And the fact that he has a child is very scary as he is simply an abusive man and I would guess his child witnesses his abuse on a regular basis. Very sad. Thank you for giving the rest of us a chance to show you a warm welcome. 💕 Enjoy Canada.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, I won’t let one drunk man ruin my opinion of Canada or Canadians, it’s just sad more than anything.
We’re so happy to be here, we loved Halifax and Nova Scotia and Canadians are by far the friendliest people we have ever met!
Can’t wait to see more…thank you again ❤️🇨🇦🤗
Another Canadian (Nova Scotian) here .. So so sorry this happened to you!!!! Am not sure exactly where you were that first day/night, but guessing, from look of trail and the large gates, a Halifax suburb (not ideal area, for walking or stealthy camping) .. oh my. See you found Lunenburg, south shore area (Ideal!!! beautiful and good people) and am hoping no run ins with drunken, aggressive 'locals'. Enjoy the rest of your Canadian travels! Be safe out there!
@@judy_judy388 hey, thank you for the lovely comment we’ve had nothing but positive and wonderful experiences since that day and very happy to be here such a beautiful province! Will do thank you very much ☺️
Welcome to Nova Scotia! It is beautiful here. Enjoy.
Thank you for the warm welcome, Nova Scotia has been incredible and the people so kind! We love it already ❤️🇨🇦
@@demieverafter That is great news! If you need a place to park in northern NS, I have a large quiet farm just outside of Amherst. Stay as long as you like!
@@dobsonfarm493 that is extremely kind of you thank you so much we will keep an eye out if we are back that way…thank you ☺️
Welcome to Canada! I’m so sorry you had to deal with that jerk! That is not very Canadian at all!
I hope you have a great trip 🇨🇦 and I’ve subscribed 😊 xx
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the subscribe! We’ve only been here two weeks and Canada has already been incredibly charming and the kindest people we’ve ever met, we’ve already forgotten about that one experience!
Thank you 🥰❤️🇨🇦
Welcome to Canada!
You had really bad luck with the drunk guy. Atlantic Canada is renowned for its friendliness. If you have a chance, go to Prince Edward Island (there is a fee on the bridge, though: about $70).
Canadians have been the most hospitable and friendliest people I have ever met! So happy to be here! And thank you so much for the warm welcome and suggestions we will look into this ❤️🇨🇦
somehow i missed your last vid and now see youre off across the pond. You dont do things by halves do you? what an amazing and exciting journey of a lifetime! You have my attention!!
I definitely don’t 😊 thank you so much so excited!! 😆
Welcome to Canada! Sorry for your first night experience, most Canadians are welcoming and do not share the views of this man. I hope you manage to head west across this fine country there are many things that every province and territory has to offer! So many beautiful sights to see.
Thank you for the warm welcome 🤗 I’ve already forgotten about him! It’s only been two weeks but Canada already has my heart, the kindness of people is unbelievable and the beauty of the tiny bit I’ve seen so far is amazing! We will be re entering Canada via the west next year and driving across, can’t wait!
Thank you for watching 😊
Omgosh as a born and bred Canadian I want to apologize and welcome you to Canada …hoping the rest of your visit is wonderful …❤️
The amount of comments I’ve had from Canadians apologising on behalf of one drunken guy has well and truly melted me to the point that I feel bad for sharing that experience because my opinion of Canada’s in the two weeks I’ve been here is … mind blowing & Canadians…friendliest most kindest people I’ve ever met!
Thank you for the welcome and thank you for watching I look forward to exploring more of this beautiful country ❤️🇨🇦
Generally Car Parks at Trail Heads are Not for Overnight Camping. Locals are always watching because there are nasty people who come around & cause issues. Best to pay for a campground & get some rest while contributing to the local economy. While you are shopping, (for food or anything), please remember to shop from the locals & not the huge companies like Walmart. It will be appreciated.
I totally understand it wasn’t a campground or an overnight parking stay and if the local lad had expressed exactly what you did we would have sympathised and probably left but he was mad about Europeans, the video was just a snippet he did go on for a about 2 hours.
We fully intend on supporting locals campsites and stores however it would be impossible for us to never shop at a supermarket so we will find a balance and already have, it’s a long trip and we just needed to stay somewhere, there was no campground close by we could get into and intended to be up and out very early
Thank you so much for commenting and watching ☺️
Lots of angry Canadians these days, angry about immigrants, foreign investors, overheated home prices. Not in my backyard people and mix in Lots of homeless.
The East Coast of Canada and the U.S. has little free camping compared to west of the Mississippi River. It's a night and day difference. Even the Walmarts abide by local ordinances and their security will chase campers out at night. Always get permission before staying at a Walmart.
Support locals as they harass you
@AellaMaude-oy9qn stfu your comment comes across as bad as that guys late night visit! If there was a issue with staying overnight where they were it would of been sign posted. The nasty people comment is just what entitled a-holes like to claim when pretending they somehow own something they don't. And everything they do in ns contributes to the local economy, not to mention the free glowing review for tourism ns
Wow...I'm so embarrassed...I hope the rest of your trip is more enjoyable
Not a reflection on Canadians at all we’ve had nothing but amazing positive experiences just one drunk guy we won’t let him ruin our trip we’re happy to be here and love Canada 🇨🇦 ☺️
@@demieverafter Cheers!!
I hope you saw Lunenberg as well ..
I absolutely find the city of Wolfeville beautiful and also Jost Wineyard is awesome. Please try their maple wine. It's absolutely great
We did see Lunenberg! 😊
As a former Brit, now a Canadian, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It's unfortunate that you encountered some unsavoury individuals on your first night here. Please be assured that Canadians, particularly in the Maritimes, are known for their warm hospitality and willingness to lend a helping hand. You'll find that we're generally less aggressive than some Brits in my experience.
During your travels, don't miss the opportunity to explore New Brunswick, often referred to as the 'Drive-Through Province'. The Fundy Parkway is a must-see, and the Provincial Park campgrounds are well worth a visit. Fredericton and St. Andrews are also excellent destinations. I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy everything (and everyone) this wonderful country has to offer.
Thank you for the warm welcome and so nice to hear from you! I definitely won’t let one guy ruin our experience or opinion on Canada or Canadians we’ve only been here two weeks and already in awe of Nova Scotia , and the people have been so kind it’s amazing!
We have been in New Brunswick today, we explored the provincial park and will go to the national park later this week too, absolutely stunning!
So happy to be here! Thank you again and for all the information ❤️🇨🇦
I so sorry this was your experience on your first night in Canada. Canada's rules aren't quite as flexible as the US and elsewhere regarding camping but that is no excuse for what you experienced. I hope you are able to move on and enjoy your time in our beautiful country.
Hey 👋 thank you so much for the welcome, I do understand to a certain extent and always happy to follow the rules… unfortunately one drunk man had a different idea but we won’t let that leave a bitter taste in our mouths… we are having such an amazing time and the people are incredible…kindest people I’ve ever met… we’re so happy to be here ❤️🇨🇦 thank you so much for watching ☺️
Welcome to Canada, some people not very nice but most are ok sorry you had to go true that bad time.
Thank you for the lovely message! I won’t let one person represent everyone else…Canada has been so amazing so far and the kindest people I’ve ever met!
Welcome to Canada hope you enjoy your stay
Thank you very much ❤
I'm a Canadian and I know that's not normal behavior. If you had been lucky enough to have one of us parked up there which I have personally done truck camping there it would have ended different. You will have so many more amazing experiences here in your travels. Most of us would be happy having you explore our country.
Thank you for the kind words we quickly realised that it was just one drunk guy and not a reflection of Canadians at all we’ve only been here for two weeks and already blow away by the kindness of strangers and how beautiful Canada is ❤
Welcome to Canada . Apologies for the riff-raff , hopefully karma will pay him a visit. Enjoy your travels. Larry from near Vancouver on the West Coast.
Thank you so much Larry, ah for sure I can’t see him getting away with behaving like that all the time karma will visit!
We’ve already forgotten it and enjoying beautiful Canada 🇨🇦 ☺️
So Sorry you had to put up with such a jerk! Welcome to Canada!
Awww thank you for the warm welcome, he’s already forgotten! We love Canada! And the friendliest people I’ve ever met ❤😊
Canada is way more chill than the UK for van life but sometimes you come across these things. Hope you peeps get to our west coast....come to Bella Coola!
Thank you! We’re happy to be here and we love Canada! We will entering via the west next year and driving across ☺️
As a canadian I can say thats unusual especially on the east coast...although we stopped one time on our motorbikes just a pull off to stop for a quick drink amd break...we had one guy tell us private property and don't litter...we were like dude we live in God's country of ontario...muskoka which is also big tourist area...he watched us til we left...had he not seen us he'd never known we were ever there...anyway get the guide book for backcountry...as others have said...the east coast is generally the friendliest part of Canada...and the whole country is as a rule pretty friendly. I hope things go better...make a stop in st andrews also when you do get to ontario stop by muskoka it's beautiful as well.
Thank you for the lovely message and information we will hopefully be able to stop there next year as we drive from west to east, we’re happy to be here and won’t let one guy ruin our opinion because we’ve had nothing but warm welcomes and kindness along the way! ☺️
Good to hear I just subbed your channel to follow along I'm excited to see canada through the eyes of a European...happy travels and Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦
@@thescreamer_248 thank you for the warm welcome 🤗 happy that you’re hear and we’re very happy to be in Canada!
Hello from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I just watched your video and I do apologize for that man's behaviour. It looks like you were in Spryfield and the man was probably drunk. You had every right to stay the night there. I am sorry you felt you had to move the van. Have fun on the rest of the trip and I look forward to seeing your videos.
@@KembleCreates hey 👋 thank you for the lovely welcome, we’ve already forgotten about that one encounter as every one else we’ve met has been so kind so warm ☺️ we’re very happy to be here! Thank you for such a lovely comment! 💙
Welcome to Canada! I live in New Brunswick. Sorry for the not so welcoming welcome you received. That is not at all what most Canadians are like. Atlantic Canada is supposed to be known for its hospitality and genuine friendly people. You can camp on crown land in NS and in NB. There will be plenty of beautiful places you can park where it won't be an issue. I will be watching and hope you enjoy your trip!
Thank you for the warm welcome 🤗 my experience of Canada so far has been amazing I don’t even take that one night into consideration anymore as the hospitality and kindness has been incredible…friendliest people I have ever met ☺️ so happy to be here we are in New Brunswick now… and wow! Both Nova Scotia and NB have been amazing, I can’t wait to share more thank you for watching ❤️🇨🇦
@@demieverafter That's wonderful and what you would expect here, People are generally friendly and helpful. Enjoy your stay! I can't wait to see your videos. I car camp a lot and have explored many of NB's back roads. There are a lot of great unknown spots you can camp. I explore every road that doesn't have an address sign on it!
That sucks, he was drunk. There are some very picky rules. In the US it is more tricky as there are 48 adjacent states their differing laws, their cities and counties and highway tolls. Regardless of where u go its good to map out the route and stays beforehand as well as alternatives. That was a first for me, having a fellow canadian yell at you and not actually offer help instead. Unusual. Welcome.
Thank you for the welcome 🤗 we are so happy to be here and honestly the kindness from strangers has been incredible and the beauty of Canada is unreal! We won’t let one idiot ruin our experience! Thank you for the advice
Just watching your adventures here in Nova Scotia, sorry (as every other Canadian here) that happened, I’m guessing drunk guy thinks he owns the lot. (He doesn’t) and if there’s no signs saying you can’t park overnight he’s being ridiculous. Glad you’ve been enjoying your time here, hope your last few days are continuing to be great, the Cabot Trail is lovely and there’s tons to see you’ll probably not see it all.
@@Eddiedahomeless hey 👋 thank you for the warm welcome! We absolutely love Canada the Maritime charm has won us over and the people have been incredible, happy to be here ☺️ currently in New Brunswick😃
@@demieverafter Enjoy New Brunswick! Lots to see and places to be!
So sorry you had such a bad experience on your first night in Nova Scotia. 1 million welcomes, we love people here, you got one in a handful of ignorant persons. May the rest of your visit be full of laughter be and discovery. If you need any assistance while in NS feel free to msg.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, we have been in Canada for two weeks now and it’s already been amazing! Nova Scotia is incredible and the kindness from everyone has been unbelievable! So happy to here and thank you so much ☺️ 🇨🇦❤️
As a Canadian (who has travelled-and occasionally dry camped-in the Maritime provinces in an RV), I’m so sorry, shocked and disgusted by the reception you received your first night here. But I guess there are crazy people everywhere you go these days. The world has become unhinged. I love the Maritimes. The natural beauty is astounding. I hope your awful first night doesn’t taint the rest of the journey, and that you enjoy the rest of your time here experiencing the warmth and hospitality the Maritimes can offer.
Thank you for such a lovely message I absolutely won’t let it taint our trip it’s already forgotten we’ve only been here two weeks and already in love with Canada and Canadians ❤ happy to be here xx
Don't let that encounter bother you. It is a something I have never seen before.
Thank you ☺️ and we won’t Canada has been incredible so far the people have been so kind it’s blown us away! So happy to be here
How far into Canada will you be travelling? ❤
USA, Canada, western Europe, prefer homeless sleeping rough on the streets, than people sleeping in their own campervans, which they paid for, paid insurance, tax etc. This all is sick.
So sorry for that experience.
Thank you…unfortunately there’s always one… somewhere along the line no matter where you go, looking back I’m glad it’s done and over already and we can move on
Hi Demi, welcome to Canada. I,m originally from England and own a Sprinter campervan. Have you heard of the app ioverlander this may help on your trip. We are in Ontario ,stop by and we,ll have a beer.
Hey Mark! Oh wow nice to hear from you thanks for sharing, haven’t seen any other brits yet or even another sprinter! I guess it’s still early on! We will be passing through and exploring Ontario next year after we enter Canada from the west so will be sure to find out where you are!
Thank you for the warm welcome - always up for a beer 🍻 ☺️
Too bad the first impression of Canada. What route are you taking if you won,t be in Ontario until next year. My wife's says tell you to try Harvest Host too .
@@MickEvans-xh4peyes the Harvest Host is a good app - people sign up if they have a space on their drive way or property for van lifers to park up . And people check out locations to stay at . Welcome to Canada
Hey you just came across my recommended here on TH-cam probably because I watch another van life couple. Anyways I'm in Northern Ontario and I'm not sure how far you are in your journey but when you're coming through, try to make a trip to Manitoulin island. I'm sure y'all will really love it. It's only about a half an hour away from where I live and I'm there all the time in the summer. It's a beautiful place. If you Google it you will find a place called kagawong and it has a small area there called bridal veil Falls with walking trails and a chocolate shop. It's a really nice town. There's also a trail on the way there it's called the cup and saucer. It's a beautiful place you have to go across a swing Bridge into little current from the mainland area. Just thought I would let you know.😊
Oh and I forgot if you're gonna go south There is a Town called Parry Sound And it's beautiful as well it has a lot of trails it's right on the water it's close to a couple of provincial parks. one of the parks is called killbear provincial Park And it's beautiful there as well. There's a boat tours that you can take there as well and it's called I believe the 30,000 Island tour. Not quite sure of the name but it does go all throughout these little tiny islands. Happy traveling!
Thank you so much for the tip and recommendations… I love to hear from people who live here where to go! We will be back in Canada after leaving in a few weeks to whether the states and back again next year where we will be spending 4/5 months driving across so I’ll keep an eye out on the map!
Thank you for watching 😊❤
@demieverafter oh yes no problem! I myself find it very hard if you go to a new area you really don't know your way around or anything about the area and you could miss a lot of really nice spots. I just wanted to ask because I subscribe to the channel, do you upload weekly? Yeah if you want to know of any good sites in Northern Ontario, when the time comes just ask away and I'll try and help letting you know where the good locations are
Hey 👋 that is so true… one of my most look forward to moments it to speak to locals and get inside knowledge on where to go so I really appreciate you ☺️ I will be posting weekly now we are on this trip! Having the best time and so excited to share my experience in Canada, I love it here ❤️🇨🇦
@demieverafter great! I'll be watching for sure :) Canada is a beautiful place but being from Canada I always look at the UK and want to go there because I think it's beautiful over there from everything I've seen LOL I think when we live in these areas we kind of lose sight of the beauty that's around us and we always want to go somewhere else to find it 🤣 I lived in Washington state for a while and I remember waking up every morning and there were huge mountains that I could sit on my front porch and look at. I always thought to myself how can the people living here not get up every day and look at these mountains and love it? Like they're just walking around like it's nothing to them LOL I guess like I said that's how it is when we live in these places we forget. 🙂 have a great time exploring! The USA is beautiful as well
So sorry you had to experience a drunk on your first day. Maritime residents are amongst the friendliest folks in the country, especially those livid in Newfoundland. Quebec can be less than friendly, from our own personal experience. Manitoba has wonderful provincial parks. Saskatchewan is a depressingly flat province to get from one side to another. Welcome to Saskatchewan, and you’re welcome to it. British Columbia is, without question the most beautiful province. Vancouver is a large city with lots of traffic. Banff and Lake Louise are congested and busy towns. Best to take Hwy 3 to the coast. Vancouver Island is amazing, as is northern BC and the Yukon. Do not miss Dawson City and the territorial park across the river via a free ferry ride. Just to emphasize that Saskatchewan is unmercifully flat. You will be able to sit at a picnic table and watch your dog run away from you for three days. 😂😂😢
Hey 😊 thank you for the warm welcome and wonderful worlds ! And wow all the info that’s amazing I really appreciate it we will try to see as much as possible for sure ! Thank you again ☺️ so happy to be here and already love Canada and the wonderful people
I am absolutely embarrassed & angry! As a Canadian & a human, I am so sorry this was your introduction & 1st experience in our country! I hope you come to B.C & on your way out west you experience the best of Canada & Canadians!❤❤❤
Ahh thank you that is so kind and such a lovely message I really appreciate it we hope to enter via the west next year and drive across , very happy to be here ❤
I hope you plan to go there NewFounland. Soon it will be iceberg seasons. You can boondock almost anywhere in New Foundland.
I love your accent.
How long will you be staying in Canada? What is your travel plan?
Hey we are actually planning our trip to new foubdland in just figuring out logistics regarding our dog Edie
We are in Canada for a couple of months before entering the US then back into Canada via the west next year 😊
Just for your info, it is spelled Newfoundland and is pronounced New'- fin-land with the accent on the first syllable. Many visitors have a bit of trouble with its pronunciation.
@@dorisbetts3012 I learnt this after a few weeks in Canada every time someone recommended it to me I picked up on the pronunciation and then eventually asked I now pronounce is New Fin Land ☺️🇨🇦
Guy is a jerk, sorry that’s your first experience in my country. There’s a nicer way to speak to people if you’re unhappy with them, unfortunately he chose to be nasty. Hopefully this is a one-off experience and the rest of my country people show you a much warmer welcome. PS. I’ve never seen your videos before today, and I’ve just subscribed. My husband and I retired in 2021 and we’ve been travelling all over the US and into Mexico for 16 months. I’m looking forward to seeing my own country. We’re from the West Coast, and will watch your adventures to see places we might also like to visit. Safe travels to you all. PSS..you have beautiful hair. 😊
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and kind words, we’re so happy to be in Canada and the past two weeks since arriving have been amazing, the hospitality and kindness has been unbelievable! Wow it sounds like you have both seen some amazing places then… how exciting any recommendations are welcome as we will also be heading into the us and Mexico! And then back into Canada via the west and driving across! So happy to have you here any thank you for watching ❤️🇨🇦
@@demieverafter lots of recommendations for Mexico but it depends on where you’re going. We were 16 months on the West Coast of the mainland. This winter we’re in Baja, next winter, the Yucatan and down to Oaxaca, Chiapas, and up the middle. So much to see, such a diverse country, it’s just nuts. The food and the people are great. USA..kinda hard to beat Utah for natural beauty and insane landscapes. BC is like nothing else. The West Coast is mind blowing.
Will you need the bulkhead again when the van goes back home?
Hey Joe, yeahhhhh unfortunately we’re going to have to figure that one out when it comes to shipping the van back we couldn’t carry it around with us for the next 12 months but I’m sure we can get creative and make a new one when we are homeward bound
Welcome, you have such a great attitude not to let that one dum unsavoury idiot ruin your day. All of the Maritimes are beautiful, I lived in Halifax for 5 years and I hope you get to Newfoundland and Cape Breton Trail. Enjoy the lobster, moose, awesome local music and superb scenery as well as the people out east as they are truly the salt of the earth. Look forward to seeing your adventures and maybe we can connect once you get to Ontario.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, we loved Halifax and Nova Scotia we got to see some of New Brunswick today and will indeed be heading to Newfoundland and Cape. Reston!
We’ve met some of the kindest people and experienced incredible hospitality!
So exited to explore more ☺️🇨🇦❤️
Enjoyed your video... if only I can understand what you are saying (?) What an exciting trip, so far...
You don’t understand what I’m saying ?
Most English Canadians can understand an English accent, though. We either know people from the UK and / or have watched various British television programs for years. At least that is the case in Atlantic Canada.
Wow. Another Canadian (Nova Scotian) here to apologise for his very bad behaviour! Welcome to our little province and our big country and hopefully this won't happen again! Safe travels! 💕
Thank you for the warm welcome 🙏 we’re so happy to be here and love Canada already, and the people have been so kind ☺️ we won’t let one drunk guy taint our view of how lovely everyone is - thank you ☺️🇨🇦❤️
I am so sorry you had to deal with that. That is not how we are as Canadians and that is not how we treat our guests ❤
Thank you for the lovely message, honestly we’ve been here for two weeks and met the kindest people we’ve ever met, the hospitality of Canadians has blown own minds and the country so stunning and it’s only been two week so we are very happy to be here ❤️🇨🇦
Welcome to our beautiful country ❤
Thank you so much ☺️ so happy to be here, it’s been incredible so far ❤️🇨🇦☺️
@@demieverafter You enjoy your trip. I live in the Ottawa région, please let me know if you would like some suggestions where to visit, park for the night or some routes in New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario ect. I’d be happy to help, safe trip.
@@louisevaux7621 thank you Louise, we are currently in New Brunswick and enjoyed the provincial park yesterday, we will be heading to the national park too I think when we enter from the west next year we will cross through Ottawa
Yes we have wanker`s here too. You met a real male Karen for sure. Subscribed and belled ; you two will be my fourth European couple that I`ve followed across Canada. Looking forward to your fun and enjoyment on the trip. Cheers from Vancouver.
Thank you for the warm welcome and the follow, we’re so happy to be here and already in two weeks Canada has charmed us and the people…kindest people we ever met ❤️🇨🇦
Male Karen 😂 that’s brilliant! We won’t let him ruin our experience!
Thank you again 🤗
Hi, both Canada and the U.S. have a lot of free camping on Crown Land (Canada) or BLM /National Forests (U.S.). In all of these places, the closer to a town, the more hassles ther are, from local ordinances prohibiting camping overnight to being on private land that you think is OK to stay overnight. Local campgrounds get these ordinances passed b/c they want you to stay with them and get $$.
The maritime provinces really don't have any free camping. Newfoundland certainly does and is worth the ferry ride. Southern Quebec & Ontario have nothing, particularly the Toronto region. Pay to stay unless you are 100% sure you are allowed to stay overnight. Look up Crown Land camping for maps in each province.
Enjoy the mosquitos and leave nothing that the bears want outside. You can actually be fined in Ontario parks if you do.
Thank you for watching and the advice, we are planning to visit Newfoundland if we can get a crate for our dog, hopefully next year we will enter via the west and drive across Canada too!
Happy to be here ☺️❤️🇨🇦
If you’re in Nova Scotia, you should be in Cape Breton.
Heading to cape Breton next week and new foundland if we can take Edie
Honestly your welcome here and please don't think otherwise and i hope you enjoy the rest of your trip, as someone who has traveled quite a lot in a van i can say 99% of folks support your spirit of adventurism here and this is an immigration country and that negative guy was a ridiculous fool of a person and probably is green with envy in regards to your freedom and happiness. Canada is wonderful place and all the different people globally who travel here and live here make it the Canada we all speak of with pride, so you guys keep doing you and take care ✌️
Thank you for the warm welcome that’s so kind and we won’t let one guy ruin our experience, we’ve only been here two weeks and already in love with this country and the kindness of people has blown us away! The kindest people we have ever met we are so happy to be here!
Thank you for the lovely worlds and encouragement ☺️🇨🇦❤️
wow quick responce ! TY....i will mention if you hit the west coast of Vancouver Island Canada, i recommend doing the Island drive and visit Tofino, Ucluelet, Long Beach,Port Renfrew, Sooke-(Sooke Potholes) if you like hiking and camping this will blow your mind just be mindful of wildlife and take it all in 🙂 here is a link to my first hike in BC years ago when i was travelling here and my favorite trail on Vancouver Island
offtracktravel.ca/juan-de-fuca-trail-hiking-guide/
I am aware your on the East Coast however should you ever drive to the West Coast you will find unforgettable times here as well✌️ take care guys, good travels, Rayn
Hi from Bunbury western Australia
Hey 👋 wow, welcome 🤗
i wish you good luck in all your life
Thank you so much ☺️ we are very excited!!
Sorry you got the initial "Drunk Redneck" experience. Yeah, that happens a lot now in Canada given our poor economy at the moment. There isn't as much work as there use to be, so people will outside getting drunk more often. Don't fret though, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia are more welcoming to tourists versus other areas of Canada. Looks like you started off in the right place.
Thank you for the kind words and warm welcome 😊 we won’t let one idiot ruin our experience we’ve only been here for 2 weeks and already so amazed by Canada and the kindness we’ve experienced has been wonderful… happy to be here 🤗
My first time seeing your channel. As an east coast Canadian, I'm so sorry for your horrible experience here. He is definitely not a good representation of our welcoming nature. I hope you have a better time here after that foolishness. Safe travels
Thank you for the warm welcome, we learnt quickly that it was just one drunken idiot and not a reflection of Canadians, we’ve only been here two weeks and so in love with Canada already and the kindness from strangers ! 😊
As a Canadian, I apologize for his behavior. :( Hope you guys have a fun and safe trip, without the drunken angry folk. Some people are happy to ruin it for others and I hope this hasn't shed a bad light for you, on your experience in Canada. ( If you're westbound, B.C. is a lovely place! Most of the people there are hippies tho. D: )
Ah thank you for such a wonderful comment! We won’t let one drunk guy ruin our experience we’ve only been here two weeks and we have already been blown away by Canada and the kindness of people here ! So happy to be here 🇨🇦❤️
How long is your traveling visa aa i was thinking of going from the uk to travel in America to see some amazing sights?
Hey! I applied for a b2 visa which means I can be in the US for 6 months, it was an online application and then an interview process at the embassy in London as they want to know why the 3 month ESTa isn’t enough I recommend looking Into it if you want to travel for more than 3 months 😊
Welcome to Canada... jeez, I'm sorry you had to experience that. Like to talk about getting a knock, that was insane! Not that it's probably worth the time or effort, but you could honestly report that to the police, that is uttering threats at the least. Unfortunately we do have a growing problem here with people on a certain side of the political spectrum, where xenophobia and anti-immigration rhetoric is absolutely an issue. I'm glad you know it's not something you'll face from normal Canadians going forward. I mean we do have the stereotype for being super nice and apologetic, and I would agree that Canadians are typically non-confrontational and very polite, but we have just as many a-holes as everywhere else they are just usually better behaved.
Anyways, enough of that nonsense, I hope you have a wonderful time in Canada! I'm from near the mountains in Alberta, but did a few week roadtrip around the East Coast and absolutely loved it. Canada really is beautiful county and I look forward to following along with your adventures!
You camped in the ONE place where the freaks are. Walmart in Halifax. Hence the issue.
Walmarts so far have actually been fine with no disturbances 🤞
Are you relocating to Canada 🇨🇦 or just travelling
Hey 👋 we are just travelling we have a 6 month visa here in Canada and a 6 month visa In the USA so we will be exploring both as well as Mexico over the next 12 month, and we are so happy to be here ❤️🇨🇦
@@demieverafterHave fun! You should come to White Rock 🪨 it’s a little beach 🏝️ town.
@@crystalslattery1712 thank you ☺️ we will check it out if we’re close by - love that thanks x
@@demieverafteryou’re welcome that’s where I live. We’re right across from Blaine, WA
Did you know you need a license to fly a drone in Canada? I believe it’s through transport canada
I did know that yes 👍🏽
@@demieverafter great!! Just wanted to make sure 😊. Enjoy your visit!
If you guys are on the North Shore and need anything… reach out.
@@findingsolace7537 thank you so much that’s very kind of you ☺️❤️🇨🇦
Really? First I've heard of that. My nephew has a drone and I know for sure he doesn't have a license. It's probably one of those unenforceable laws I guess.
What a jerk. He was drunk it is only 1 guy. Park where you want Ia'm Native Canadian you are Welcome to my Beautiful Country! Have fun on your trek. 👀👋🙂💯💥✌️
Ahhhh what a welcome thank you so much! So happy to be here…and wow what a place we won’t let one guy ruin our experience! We’ve met the kindest people we’ve ever met since being here and we can’t wait to see more! Thank you for watching ❤️🇨🇦
So sorry . So. Ot reflective of the typical maritimer who are the sweetest people I know.
Hey Mary, oh I don’t let one person spoil my opinion of the most amazing kindness I have experienced here so far! He was just a drunken fool… Canadas so far has been incredible and the people even more incredible… happy to be here ❤
wahay , you made it !!! nutters are everywhere, as you say , too many beers and zero sense , pleased eadie is well and michael too ( puppy getting his 15 mins of fame !) , well , thats day 1 , only another 500 or so left , see you soon , bye for now
Eyyyyyyuppppp Phill! Can’t believe we’ve only been here less than two weeks feels like we’ve seen and done so much already! Will keep you posted ☺️🙌🏽
Curious what lake is 8 minutes from the Mumford Walmart w/ a parking area… Long Lake? Why would this guy care. There’s not really any houses around the area… although it would depend on which trailhead you parked at I guess. Anyway sorry about the jerk. Sometimes more rural folks can be quite territorial if you’re parking on a private road (understandable I suppose) but again… you said you were only 8 minutes from the city so… yah. Weird. Glad you didn’t let him ruin your day. And of course regardless of his complaints about vans… the bigotry was completely uncalled for.
I can’t remember the park up name I also can’t find it on the app now, maybe for obvious reasons lol but never mind these people are out there and I’m not going to make it my problem, it’s been an amazing and beautiful Province to explore ☺️🇨🇦
Hey I'm a Canadian living in a van in BC. Your first night experience is not typical at all, and definitely not so out this way. I hope you've just got "nasty drunk dude" checked off the list sp you don't have tp encounter folk like him again.
Hey, you’re 100% right just one idiot wont ruin our experience we’ve only been here two weeks and already blown away by the kindness of Canadians 😊 so happy to be here!
Can’t say anything that hasn’t been said already, sorry for your first bad experience. There are jerks everywhere in the world and Canada is no exception, although ones like that are usually few and far between.
Thank you I appreciate you’re comment 😊 I won’t let one guy ruin our perspective of Canada or Canadians we’ve been here two weeks and we are In love with the country and the people ❤
Say the Our Father prayer daily. Deliver us from all evil is one part of prayer.
God bless. Sadly there are evil people in this world. Every country has police courts and jails.
Such a huge country with so little unregulated camping tolerance. Shameful
Please don't apologize on behalf of someone else. You have no clue what that person has been through.
No matter what you’ve been through it doesn’t give anyone the green light to be racist
A shame. Nova Scotians tend to be very friendly people.
I know and they really are the friendliest people I’ve ever met I won’t let one guy taint that opinion, so happy to be in Canada we love it here already ☺️
You will be staying at Walmart a lot more than you think you will haha welcome to America😊!
Haha I’m sure! All part of the adventure - thank you 🙌🏽☺️
Welcome to Canada and meeting your first. drunken vacationing American.
Thank you for the warm welcome!
Ce'ad m'ile fa'ilte.
"Go back to Europe..." 😂 Welp, that's certainly something you don't hear every day. I find this particular insult funny because it's so broad. Imagine car camping in Wales and hearing "Go back to North America ya dern Yankees!" What's also funny is that when you look at the sheer size of Canada, it ranks 10th in countries with the lowest population density. So much space and yet some people choose to fight over a particular patch of grass.
To be fair to the local point of view…I’ve had lots of van lifers park illegally in my driveway. They have left fecal matter, condoms, liquor bottles and garbage. You may feel the locals reaction is unfair but you don’t know what has happened prior to your “just one night” in a lovely spot. Please enjoy your time in Canada, but try and be fair to local land owners too.
This. I’m in New Zealand and we have so much trouble with ‘freedom campers’ as they’re known here. So much I toilet paper and 💩 left everywhere! It’s been astounding how foul many people are.
I am happy to respect the rules and firmly believe I leaving no traces we are a very small camper and we’re not parked illegally or on anyone’s land or drive, if the guy had a word with us about it not being a camp ground and the experiences he’s been having we would have respected his opinion and most likely left, the clip I showed was a few seconds, we threatened and made racist/aggressive comment for about two hours and nothing justifies that
@@NZKiwi87 Same too in Highlands, Scotland. Not keen on the term "stealth" as used in the video, sounds like something one shouldn't be doing ??
@@demieverafterCope
@@demieverafter I don't agree with his behaviour, but bottom line, you were parked somewhere you shouldn't have been and I suspect you knew that. I'm from BC and in an area that gets swarmed by freedom campers, and it's not a pretty TH-cam story from the local point of view. All the Canadian apologies in the comments are crazy....your first night in Canada you camped where it's not allowed and you're the victim????
You are on the wrong side of Canada I can say that wont happen here on Vancouver Island
Yeah, west coast if you like rainy, gloomy days, Northern Ontario if you like endless lakes, forests and sunshine.😮😊
Hope to see and experience it all 😊
You say you are only a "small van" parking for free in someone's neighborhood. I'm sure the people are fed up with this type of attitude. Just find an actual camping spot for the rest of your stay in Canada.
If he’d said those exact words I would have said fair enough I respect that and left…but he was being racist and we were not blocking anything or anyone or making a peep, as I mention in the video I understand people not wanting a campervan near their house if it’s not a camp ground but that doesn’t justify a. How angry he was b. Wanting to slash someone’s tires and c.being racist I only recorded a snippet he went on for about two hours
And you are going on for many, many more hours of how you are justified in parking wherever you feel like instead of paying for a proper, legal camping spot like all the Canadians do.
@@donnareid7167 shut up karen
@@donnareid7167 not all Canadian’s do, notice walmart parking lots! I live in NS and am sorry someone was so ignorant, yes maybe they shouldn’t park there but no not every cdn parks in campsites. And yes we do have an rv and do use campgrounds. However, no need to be racist and mean.
