- Today we're looking at a map of something truly grand: the Grand Canyon! A wonderful subscriber, Rachel, was kind enough of send me two maps and a gorgeous card to share a little bit of her recent trip there. 💖 I hope you'll all enjoy this soft exploration as much I did!
Sleep well 💙

Thanks 🙏🏼 for this. Beautifully made. Can’t stop listening- always falling asleep 💤 🎉😅
Thank you so much, you're very kind!! Hope you sleep well and have sweet dreams 💖💖
-- Oh my goodness! Thank you for sharing the postcard that I sent to you! It made my day to see this in your video. 😊❤️
I loved it! Thank you so much for sending it 💖 It has a place right next to my entrance door.
Hi JJMedusa :) Love your greeting card that Melange is showing in the very beginning of the video 🌟 Where did you pick it up ?
When you opened the map and started tracing the river with that brush, my head almost exploded with tingles 😂🤤🫠
Yesssss 💖
One of my favorite things to do at National Parks Visitor Centers is locate the ink stamp(s) to stamp my tiny journal I have just for this purpose. I bought the journal here at The Grand Canyon before I knew the centers have such stamps. Thank you for reminding me to go back here!
Yay yay yay!!!! So excited!!!!
Thank you so much, the maps were excellent picks! And I just adore the card you sent with it 💗💗
And yes, the canyon is absolutely astounding. Photos don't do it justice, it actually brought tears to my eyes when I saw it in person.
I adore your videos. Map tracing combined with softly spoken commentary is my absolute favourite type of ASMR... and it's educational too!
I'm so excited for this video! My Great-Aunt has lived and worked in the Grand Canyon for as long as I can remember for the village school system. I can't even imagine waking up to that view every day!! The first time I ever went it was magical and I can't wait to go back.
I loved this. It was amusing to hear that Utah and Colorado weren’t “too far” from Arizona… everything is actually so far apart in USA compared to Europe. The drive between states is measured in days. Beautiful part of the world, geologically speaking. Thank you for the tingles!
What do you mean, they are right next to each other!! My sense of distance is definitely a bit warped - it would be difficult to even stay in my own country if I drove for a couple of hours lol.
Just to drive though Utah, following the Interstate 15 is a 6-7 hours. Nevada is about 4 hours, Idado is about 4-5 hours. In California, to drive from San Diego to San Francisco is about 10-12 hours...
Brush on the map is absolutely hypnotising ❤
No one can put me to sleep like Melange. I can listen to you talk about anything... always the perfect volume and cadence as well as an interesting accent (to these American ears)!
💖💖💖
Love this video so much, especially the small brush bit! That’s my favourite and feels like you’re painting, so relaxing 😊
Thank you!! 🥰
Your videos are so consistently rewatchable, it's really amazing.
You turned those maps into a work of art... sooo sooothing.... I fell asleep like a baby. This is the first time I achieve it with an ASMR video. Thank you so much! I really needed it
Aw love to hear that, thank you!
The brushing really gives tingles, watching a third time as I fell asleep before!
💙
Just what I needed this week, some new Melange. Much appreciated as always.
Thank you, that's very nice to hear 😊 I hope you're well!
One of my favorites videos so far!! Have been listening to this every night on spotify 🥰 funnily enough, I was in Arizona for a business conference this past week so seeing this on Wednesday was a pleasant surprise!
I'm so happy to hear that - thank you, Emma!
Your videos are always the perfect ASMR experience for me, and I realized it's because I used to triggered in school during lessons like these with soft-spoken voice and pointing/tracing on the blackboard.
Same, I loved lessons like that!
The discussion around 22:22 makes me want to send a nap of things like the blue ridge parkway, shannondoah, or the Pacific Crest trail.
Aw I would love that, it's all on such a different scale to my home country haha.
Love the brushing! Love it! I would love to see more brushing!
Happy to hear that, I'll try and get them out more often!
I really loved the use of your brush on the image of the river. Such a great ASMR video.
Thank you!
My wife and I visited the Grand Canyon on our honeymoon 17 years ago and seeing it for real was amazing ❤🇬🇧
I have been dying for you to do a national park!! This just made my day. I actually just bought you a bunch of maps and brochures that are from national parks. My husband and I looove the national parks and go to as many as we can. I will send the brochures along as soon as I make my way to the post office!!
I can't wait to find out what you're sending!!
My Thursday morning treat before bed 🥰
Have a good rest! 🧡
I used this to fall asleep yesterday, and indeed did, so I'll have to rewatch this again because the topics you choose are interesting in their own right and I'm curious. :-)
You're too kind, thank you! 💖
Another video that is both very relaxing and interesting. Thank you, Melagne :)
Thank you!
We hiked the Grand Canyon South Rim Kaibab trail down and Bright Angel back up. The coldest, best, most delicious beer I've ever tasted was the afternoon we finished the hike and stopped in at the El Tovar Hotel. Your video brought it all back. Thank you!!
That reminds me of my last big hike - somehow that cabin had the best possible food in the world haha.
It sounds like a great experience, I'm glad I could bring back some memories :)
Yay more Melange!
Your soft voice relaxes me🥰
Amazing! I just hiked 42 miles through the Grand Canyon -Rim to Rim to Rim!
Omg that sounds amazing! How long did it take you?
@@MelangeASMR 2 full days of hiking, next time I think I’ll go a little slower and spend a night in Phantom Ranch-a lodge & mule ranch at the bottom of the canyon next to the Colorado.
That was so nice listening to your voice is so very relaxing and really puts me to sleep most times Thank You so much
The makeup brush is truly inspired 😍
Aw I'm glad you like it! Thank you :)
Truly grand! Thank you.
Great job Rachel and Melange!
💖💖
Fun fact about Washington, DC from a DC native: The city grid was planned by a Frenchman, Pierre L'Enfant, who specifically wanted to confuse the British on horseback if they ever attempted to invade the city (it mostly worked in 1812 iirc), which is where the diagonal boulevards and 8-point roundabouts come from! Legend has it that L'Enfant was so good at creating a confusing city grid, locals with cars and GPS still get lost in the city to this day 😂
Ah, love that! And yeah, an 8-point roundabout would confuse me too 😅
@@MelangeASMR the traffic circles wouldn't be so bad if we didn't also insist on adding stoplights to them! but they are kind of a mess (the thing about wanting to confuse invading armies is probably apocryphal but it's a great story - I used to tell it when I was a DC tour guide)
Your videos go perfectly with my nighttime cup of herbal tea ❤️
That does sound like a perfect combo. Hope you slept well 💗
It’s an interesting observation about distance and scale. I was struck by that when I came BACK to America after my first European visit. Especially when you travel the Midwest or South where there is much uninhabited space. You could go hours without hitting a real “town”. Traveling by train in Europe there are constant towns, actual big ones, so close together. It makes it feel strange like we are wasting this space and cramming everyone into cities. But I guess that’s why we have the American suburb.
Indeed a distinct difference; not necessarily better just different. One thing that’s great about visiting Europe is just how much beauty and diversity you can see with just short distance traveling. Thanks for the interesting video. The Grand Canyon isn’t a destination I have visited yet but plan on trying in a year or two. Edit:
Ice cream fountain is another term for a “soda fountain.” In the early to mid 1900s soda fountains were places like cafes or delis where guests would get a soda mixed (syrup and carbonated water) by a person called a soda jerk (no kidding.) later soda fountains added ice cream to their offerings and became popular spots for teens and families. If you think of the typical American 50s cafe where teens on a date would drink a milk shake together that’s a soda fountain. 😊 Ice cream fountains are basically just a reference to an older style cafe with lots of ice cream options like milkshakes, malts, floats, and sundaes!
Thank you for your lovely comment, that's an interesting observation! And so true, especially in Austria, we don't have much untouched space anymore, not even with the mountain range running through half the country. So to me, hearing that you have all this open space in the US actually sounds lovely and something we should preserve as well.
Love the soda jerk!!! I didn't know about that either 😂😂
You are amazing! I love your videos.
Thank you, Salinka! It means a lot.
I like this lady! I subscribed for the age of discovery maps and trivia 👍
Thank you! There'll be some more Spanish Habsburgs era content next week :)
Another amazing video. I really look forward to Wednesdays knowing that I get to end the day watching a new video from you. Great work as always. Thank you ❤
💛
Perfect ASMR video.
💛
🙏
If you or anyone is interested in the exploration of the Grand Canyon, I highly recommend reading Down the Great Unknown.
Oh thank you, I'll have a look!
The Colorado River runs through my town. Grand Junction , Colorado. It is called Grand Junction because it is the junction of the Gunnison and Colorado Rivers. But long ago the Colorado was called the Grand River. Hence the Grand part. Probably also why the Canyon is named so.
Ah, interesting, I assumed it just came from the grandness of the Canyon haha. A fitting name, either way.
Awesome
@US and size/scale - have you ever considered to read or listen Kerouacs 'On the Road'? I think there are versions at least online showing route or places text and author sees, passes, visits at the moment narrated simultaneous.
Oh that sounds neat! I have read it but it's been a couple of years.
Oh, my maps aren't in that good of condition at all, but I have one from Yellowstone I think.
Hi melange! Great video once again. p.s Tell your neighbours to be quiet!
If only they'd listen 😭 But fingers crossed it shouldn't be an issue anymore from December on.
@@MelangeASMR please don’t worry melange! it certainly doesn’t interfere with your quality and professionalism believe me, actually in some weird way it’s quite amusing, anyway take good care.
That origami crane card tho 🤩
Right? I love it so much!
My favourite video of yours so far and I know basically nothing about America
Aw thank you!! 💗
An ice cream fountain is just a shop where you can get ice cream treats like banana splits and milk shakes. You might have something like that in your country already.
Aah, I pictured something more spectacular in my mind. Still nice!
Good very! Please about Central Asia! Thank you very much!
A little patience, I'll get to Central Asia eventually 🙏
If you look closer to the Wash DC map, you can trace the star of Freemasons.
I really love your channel and I listen to your videos most nights to fall asleep. And I love the subject matter here. There is so much background noise in this one, though. :/
I'm really sorry about that. We're having a neighbour issue and there's just a limited time frame when we can record, so sometimes it's a bit of a frustrating situation... We're working on a solution, though, and should be able to permanently switch to a quieter room soon!
@@MelangeASMR keep up the great work. You’re amazing at this. :)
You’re videos always seem to appear when I wanna see them.
Kids? 😀 lot outside noises this time but still great and informative as usual, thank you.
Argh I'm sorry! It's the neighbour's kids, there's not much we can do. But if all goes well, it shouldn't be an issue anymore in December!
@@MelangeASMR Oh no, is KRAMPUS COMING FOR THE KIDS? :'D
@@Heetteri 🙊
Thank god it’s Wednesday
💕
ok,ya. what is up with the brush on the map? tingle city!
p̷r̷o̷m̷o̷s̷m̷ 😅
I wonder what the people in the background were arguing about
Nothing 😭 That's just how they talk.
Es wäre wunderbar wenn du etwas Deutsch sprechen kannst in deinem video 💜
Gerne! Schau unter Playlists, da gibt's eine mit Videos, in denen ich deutsch spreche 💜
Too bad there was so much background noise. The people talking (and especially children) were very distracting.
I'm sorry about that - unfortunately we couldn't move our filming day and the neighbours can pretty persistent... We're working on a solution, though, and have moved to a different place for now!
I took a few days to think over how to write this comment, came back after I found a good resource to include. I'm specifically trying to remember that I have an American perspective, which puts weights on certain words that non-American words don't carry, that the cultural context I exist in has little bearing on your context. It's also not necessarily my story to tell, I don't want to speak for others who are better suited to tell.
I know the phrase American Indian is considered old-fashioned here, and it is often received as an offensive phrase. Something carried down by a legacy of erasure and 'convenient' labeling. It did jump out at me, I wonder if there are first nations viewers who also had it jump out at them. I'm trying to be careful in my words because I understand clearly you were not speaking offensively, and I'm not trying to be an ass, either.
I spent a few days chewing my words, then I had this digital map shared with me through an email newsletter. At the very least, I thought you might find it neat to look through.

Hey, thank you for the thoughtful and considerate response, I appreciate it! The reason I used the term here is that it's part of the names as they're listed on the map and I think it would be a bit odd for me to change a name. But yes, the term is outdated here as well (though definitely still more common than in the US).
That link is fantastic! Thank you 💛
@@MelangeASMR that actually does make a lot of sense, and I can see where you were coming from with your word choice decisions. Thank you for being able to have a considerate conversation about sensitive topics without taking them personally.
