I've really enjoyed this winter Canadian road trip and seeing Banff and the surrounding area. Truly beautiful! I always enjoy your cold weather videos. Almost bummed you're heading to a warm place now, but completely understandable. Safe travels!

Brutal story! I was getting frustrated just listening to you... I hope things are easier from here on out - happy travels:)

Glad you got the passport situation worked out. It was interesting to see where you went on your walk. It looked familiar and I realized you stayed in the same hotel where we have stayed a couple of times.

Oh it looks so cold. What an ordeal with the passport, I hope all went well when you went back to pick it up. Great you are able to leave your car there, Drifter Dave to the rescue! Safe travels Gabriel.❤️☀️

Wow, cool to have the world famous Gabriel Traveller in the city of Calgary -- I myself did a bit of world travelling and used to live in Europe (london & dublin) but always found culture shock to be back in Canada, especially in winter, well welcome and I hope you get your passport sorted conveniently! ✌

[@gkschick6804]

Not particularly the most riveting subject but you did a masterful job telling the story. As a Canadian, I can relate to all of the machinations you went through and look forward to hearing if you were indeed successful picking up your passport as promised on Wednesday. Calgary looks pretty bleak on days like this. It might surprise those unfamiliar with it in that it is consistently ranked very highly on a worldwide basis in terms of the top cities for quality of life in the world. Yes, it was cold, but no where near how cold it can get there, made worse with even the slightest bit of wind.

[@lindabueckert9559]

It's definitely chilly but a dry cold here in Alberta. Ontario feels much colder due to the moisture in the air even at higher Temps.

[@ShanaynayLaQueefin]

​@@Crushbra​@Crushbra Well, if you rented a room, took public transit, and cooked your own food, i would say you could live off of about 2000-3000$ a month. However pubic transit isn't good in Calgary so it's not reasonable to take it everywhere, so you'll need a car.

Tim Hortons is no longer Canadian and it's no longer Canada's choice. The coffee is garbage. McDonalds coffee is way better.

[@julesroy]

It's reputation is in tatters with them bringing in so many poorly trained foreign workers to replace Canadians.

[@carolinecaiger6717]

Tim Horton's is a Canadian chain of coffee houses. It was bought out from US owners. Headquarters in Toronto.

I totally agree!!!! 🙌

[@bobk18]

I have to admit, Tim’s doesn’t get my business anymore. McDonald’s is much better.

Wasn’t Tim Hortons bought by Wendy’s? Their food and donuts are way better than shit McDonalds.

Canada Post is often found inside a Shoppers Drug Mart. That should be an answer to question in order to get your passport.

[@ChristmasPhone-e5s]

I'd need warmer clothes for sure in 6-14 degree temps for 1.3km, celsius or fahrenheit! I think the lines at the passport office are tests given to us to see if we're ready to travel overseas where so much of it is standing in lines (airports, transit depots, etc). They want to see if we are capable of remaining calm. They want to watch what our behavior is while we are waiting in line. Great job explaining everything as always in your videos. A lot of people don't know how difficult it is to talk for hours without much space of added silence. To have an explanation of things as they are happening in a clear & concise way while traveling is the gift. It's a format that works well when in doubt about what type of content to create on a KZbin channel. Long Live Gabriel Traveler!

[@DrifterDave]

Definitely glad that I had the opportunity to help you out, Gabe! I’d hate to see you have to pay someone to park your car - $50/month can buy a lot of beers on the beach 😎 Enjoy yourself man ✌️ The car will be here when you get back.

Hey Gabriel, been following you through the videos from Nepal! thats where I come from!. I have been in Calgary since 2022. Are you still here? There are great hikes in Banff, Canmore. Spring, Summer and fall, a lot to do. Winters are great too. There are hot springs in Banff near the city centre where hike to sulphur mountain starts. Also, Ha ling peak in Canmore is fun in winter. In summer, hike from moraine lake to lake louise via sentinel pass, lake annette, paradise valley is superb. Also when you were walking on lake louise. the same path leads to Plain of six glaciers where the tea shop is same like that of Nepal with tibetan prayer flags. From there to big beehive or even to Devil's thumb where you see best views of lake louise and lake agnes from atop. Also Calgary has some great small hikes! Winters are brutal but there are chinook warm winds at times in winter which are amazing. it will warm up again from tomorrow in Calgary

Just caught a flight out this morning, but see my other videos, I did some hikes and went to the hot springs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnjQmIOiltqBkJY

Helen minus 14 is really not that bad. When it gets down into the minus 30s it gets scary. And I mean it can get really scary. Winter travel out in the countryside is no laughing matter. You need emergency supplies. Every year tragedy strikes unprepared people here. The coldest day I can remember in Calgary it was minus 56 degrees with the wind. I was pumping bulk propane at construction sites.... when i got home I had to chop a hole in the drywall to expose and thaw out my water line with a propane torch. That was a wild day.

To you it would be even colder as your blood is thinner in hotter climates. Gabe is somewhat used to it having lived there in the past. But for most people in Europe this is too cold.

[@bobk18]

From Alberta, I can handle the cold. You can dress for the cold. You can only undress from the heat to a point and even then it doesn’t help. The outback of Australia has always fascinated me. The heat there would literally kill me though. Coldest temp I’ve experienced is -56c when visiting Winnipeg. Winnipeg is often colder than Antarctica during our winter. Those people are tough. 👍🍁

[@Kaisersozze]

Youre in my city!! Never thought you'd come here. Yeah it's a bad week to be there, at least until this weekend when it should warm up again to regular winter temperatures. Not sure this qualifies as what we call a deep freeze which is typically around -30C and below for as long as several weeks.

I was referring to an actual deep freezer, that you put meat, etc. in which is around that temperature, zero degrees fahrenheit. ✌️

Very true. 110F (43C) in Phoenix (dry) feels better than 95F (35C) in Florida... I'm mostly used to the humidity here. There are maybe 10 days a year where I feel gross from humidity (but, all the mold and mildew everywhere gets annoying)...

Gabe, as a dual Canadian, are you able to access healthcare or get a physical when you’re here in Canada, considering our free healthcare system? Or are there residency requirements you’d need to meet?

[@AlamgirKhan]

Not sure how it works in other provinces, but in Ontario you need a health card to access “free” health care services. You need to prove that you are a resident of Ontario in order qualify for an Ontario health card.

[@dozierstadium]

Probably not. Most nat health systems require proof of residing physically in the country and health id number. Maybe in emergency situation it is different. But for standard health care issues, probably needs to live in the country.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

When I worked in Jasper the health care was tied to employment. I think the general health care was valid right away, but dental took six months to be valid and covered 80%. So I'm not sure what would happen if I walked into a hospital, but I'll try to avoid finding out.

It might work but it would be risky and you could get banned, so I wouldn't try it. Also with the new system in 2025 in which you have to register online before entering Europe it's probably more likely that they would catch you.
