Hi Robert, I really enjoyed this series! I watched them all including Victoria and your travels across the US to Miami. I comented on your 2019 video visit to Victoria. I'm Canadian from Ontario and I have to say thank you for show casing both these cities. I look forward to your future videos. Cheers!

THIS MAN IS THE GOAT

[@lancelaw760]

I found this is the best video for Vancouver. The one last time is okay. This is the perfect version with sky train, water taxi and capilano bridge park. It's just perfect

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@thehighlanders607]

The beauty of B.C. is just incredible. Yeah, the reason you feel so at home in a city like Vancouver is because it really is not much different than being in the States, except for some subtle cultural nuanced differences. Thanks for playing the techno version of Free In My RV.

[@johnmason-smith]

Your new soundtrack is wonderful.

[@najruqwi7008]

That suspension bridge park was so Kool 👍. And the peninsula was cute. Thanks for sharing this with us 👍

[@MrPunky1]

Great job

[@chriskabout4556]

Those otterballs look very much like a Dutch treat called poffertjes. Delicious.

[@sammy7068]

hey good video been to vancouver very nice city

[@masudkarim_dipu]

This is a great episode!! Sunny sky, great sunset, beautiful cityscape with river view, lot of happy tourists, and picturesque nature!!

[@stacyhazelwood4033]

I am like you, I love the geographical oddity of the point at the boarder of Canada/USA. I enjoy things like that.

[@JoseGonzalez-mj2xt]

Tremendo video, te felicito y te deseo lo mejor para the next year. And a lot of camping around the world. Pepino

[@DinaRadicaFilms]

very nice.

[@debbiewerner7124]

Another great one!! Didn’t care for downtown Vancouver. But the neighborhoods were really cool. I usually learn so much from these videos, and the small piece of the US was the most surprising. I never knew that existed. ❤

[@FlyMeAirplane]

A great video!

[@BackroadExploits]

Enjoyed the video as usual Robert but miss your familiar music. Not sure why you're introducing new music but the old music never grows old for me. It is pretty signature stuff to tell me without watching whose channel I'm on :-). You'll be glad to know that we have those barred owls in Florida and if you visit the Lower or Upper Suwannee Parks just south of Pelicamp, you can see them there. In the summer they can be seen feeding off the ditches on the sides of the dirt roads. Happy New Year.

[@Twobarpsi]

The Cuban food looked amazing!!

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Traveling Robert 😎😎, I have never been Vancouver BC, but I did go to Vancouver, Washington 😊😊. This was an OUTSTANDING tour of Vancouver BC. One of these days I'm going to visit Vancouver,BC. I can't wait to see Victoria Island and all of the awesome attractions. OUTSTANDING Robert!

[@gi169]

Thank you Mr. Robert, Happy New Year.

So cool to see the city I live in, in one of your videos

Happy New Year i wish You today

[@ShawnPatterson402]

no doubt that is a beautiful part of the world. We lived in BC for 8 years back in the 90s, so spent a lot of time in Vancouver. It just keeps growing and growing. As always safe travels....

[@patriciagoulter]

Amazing episode. Happy New year from New Zealand

[@fordclif]

Thank you so much Robert for sharing your ride with us, everytime I watch your videos I feel like traveling to those places. God speed

What a Gorgeous city!! Happy New Year's Eve 🎉 Excellent video 🎈

[@debbie4315]

I learned how fragility can show up in the snap of a finger. I'm a teacher and was very high energy in my classroom and my life up until Nov 14 when I fell in the hall at school and broke my shoulder, tore my rotator cuff, broke my navicular in my right foot, and sprained my ankle, and bruised ribs. My biologic family and best friend live far away, but my work family were amazing--I mean really supportive. I couldn't even drive and had a boot on and in a wheelchair, a splint and sling. I will return to the classroom next week, still in a boot and wheelchair. I've had a lot of time to think about how quickly this happened and what an impact it has had on my life. I'm very intent to do whatever it takes to recover, and know that will happen, but it takes time. And I've also had a lot of time to think about all the things that I didn't do to take care of myself that could've maybe prevented this from happening, or at least not have made, the end result so bad. It's been a real motivation to go through this and realize how much I need to focus on regaining strength and exercising regularly and manage my nutrition better I can't wait to get back on my feet and try to take better care of myself in the future. Watching your videos, especially concerning mindset, nutrition, and exercise, also help me to stay motivated to do better!!

[@neidaheusinkvelt1062]

Wonderful segment highlighting Vancouver area. I was there nearly 40 years ago to compete in three days of international dog obedience trials at the BC stadium so we could walk across the causeway and also attend the World’s Fair a couple of hours each day. The city still has such diverse international food offerings, loved the water taxi system, and everyone was polite and kind. The city is back on my bucket list again. I’ll make sure to include the Havana for mojitos!

[@CindyG-l1m]

Gorgeous sunset. You always find the most interesting places to visit on your journeys. Great video!

[@airstreamer]

Gosh, the campground with Huge shrub walls on either side 😳 That looked not fun to park in. A steam clock? That is a new one on me! Suspension Bridges- um, no. all the people just standing there and barely moving across? That monument and border marker- how cool! Hahahaha, I saw what you did there. 😆- Michelle

[@forexfrank4484]

Happy New Year Roberto!

[@C-TOS]

Happy PreEmptive New Year Robert and Family. May 2024 brings new good memories and travels and make it a healthy 2024 for good measure for all of you! 🍻

[@deeandleeintheirrv1299]

Wow , that sunset was epic. @34 minute mark. Amazing 👍🏽👍🏽

[@dalemarshall9736]

Tight sites there at Burnaby, but really unique the way they have the sites divided by the hedges. That was the main thing I remembered about staying there. We had a 24' travel trailer then so fit okay.

[@stevegiblin270]

Vancouver is a great place and adventure too?😊 Great city and public transportation !🇺🇸🍀⚓️😎

[@Taxia123]

Vancouver is beautiful!

[@MidnightAspec]

This has to be the largest unremarkable city I’ve ever seen. Will probably visit with the family when we visit Seattle/Portland this Spring.

[@dangergirlbrooks3575]

Wave as you pass through Bellingham!

[@luisclark7123]

Awesome looking city

[@stevegiblin270]

Great video ! Do the Great Lakes loop in the fall and go to Newfoundland, Maine etc in the summer 😊

[@almag6723]

Great. The city of Letícia, on the southernmost tip of Colombia goes on to Tabatinga, Brazil. You Just cross a street and get into another country.

[@bubba4072]

Thanks for another great video, Robert! 👍

That sphere you kept seeing was from the Expo 86 exhibition. It was pretty cool back in the day. I am an Albertan but went there for the fair.

[@debbieredmond-zj8of]

Hi I want to say Happy New year From my husband Dennis and Debbie R

[@Yawndave]

Happy New Year Robert! Ah, Vancouver! I was there back in '86 for the Expo--it's interesting to see what it looks like today. Kind of neat to see the view from the Sky Train, it was brand new in 1986--we used the "Expo Line" to get to the event from our hotel. If you liked that tree top walk, there are several in Australia that are really worth visiting (I believe Bill Bryson mentioned one in "A Sunburnt Country") Thanks for a great year of video adventures and Friday live chats. Here's wishing a healthy 2024 to you and Pelicanheads everywhere...happy trails!

[@dalemarshall9736]

In 1999 in Stewart they had a lot of logs that they were binding together in huge log rafts to float down to Vancouver. When we were in Vancouver we saw a number of those log rafts in the harbor getting gathered to get to the sawmills.

[@hollsee9266]

Hello Robert and Illy. You guys were in my hood on the Northshore near the Quay. It is a beautiful area and has certainly transformed a lot in the last 10 years. Gastown is a bit of a shock to the tourist industry for those that tempt to go to Hastings St. I never knew that there was a RV park at the place you stayed at. I may be moving from here since its so unaffordable but have a little camper of my own and so its good to know that there are some parking spots close to transit. I had been anticipating your video for the lower mainland and Vancouver area. Thanks for sharing what you saw. You showcased our city well. Love all your videos Feliz Navidad Feliz Anos! Holly

[@hollsee9266]

False Creek used to go all the way to the ocean past Main St. They back filled it and closed it off. Main Street near Hastings ST is actually below sea level or at Sea Level.

[@hollsee9266]

Sure woulda been cool to meet up with you guys. I have been following you since the Pandemic in 2020.

[@mikeschock9225]

I live in the Vancouver area and I missed them too. I know they will be back again some day!

[@hollsee9266]

@@mikeschock9225 I think so. Robert liked the Vancouver Island IPA. Lol

[@mikeschock9225]

@@hollsee9266 if he ever gets back here he needs to check out Brewers Row in Port Moody!

[@edinelsonramirez5656]

I would say the bridge is overrated! Thanks for the adventure!

[@SpelareTV]

Yiiiihaaa, Robert is live ☺️ and in Vancouver, my dream place 😅🥰

[@9monchy9]

Again, excellent video Robert! You captured some of the most important points in Vancouver that we love! We haven't been back there since 2017, so your video brought Vancouver to us! I remember during the pandemic, the people of Point Roberts had some difficulty receiving supplies, since their only way was through the Canadian border, which was closed for a long time....glad we are having better times now!

[@denniskruell6879]

Nice video Robert. Very good presentation of a nice large city. I live in the PNW and have been thinking of spending some time there and you made my decision for me. I'm definitely going there and I now have some good information to go by. Thanks

[@joycemosakowski3648]

What a Great City! Nice tour, Robert!

[@Richard2003]

In 2014 went through the city on a bus on the way to Seattle. We want to go again and see the sights.

[@johnfoote1168]

Thank you both for an outstanding view of Vancouver and her surrounds, with regard to property tax, if you can help, we pay a tax here to our local city , which we call ' rates' what concerned me was your property tax in Florida which appears excessive considering the level of services, street mtce etc, , the property here is now similar to the US with regard to exchange rates, but your property taxes seem way off real for what you receive, safe travels, love your blogs

[@michelemcdanieltravels]

Happy New Year’s Eve.. What better way to end the year than on a high note back into civilization. Vancouver is a beautiful city and lends itself well to your oh-so-familiar style. Classic Traveling Robert right here. You do such a great job showcasing cities and as always, your music new or standard, never fails to set the mood and bring every scene to life. Thanks for going to Point Roberts, it’s the one place in Washington I’ve never been, and is so obscure not many would ever think of showing it. That was cool. Also, they do up Capilano Park in lights during the holidays, and is really something to see. This was a fun episode.

[@maxineoliver7404]

I'm having a great adventure with all of your adventures of Alaska and Canada 🍁 -It's been fun!!! And Happy New Year to you,Illy,Mom, and family!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Hefmier]

Welcome back to Washington state!! ;) Happy 2024 to you and Illy, from Washington state.

[@mikeschock9225]

Happy New Year Robert! Today’s episode was almost like my morning commute to the four letter place except through your eyes. I pass that RV park almost every day and my commute is below the SkyTrain most of the way! Commercial Drive is a cool area. It was known as the Italian area of Vancouver but it looks like there is a lot more variety there these days. The suspension bridge is cool but I agree with one of the other comments that the bridge at Lynn Canyon is better! Free and a lot of recreational opportunities on the other side. One advantage I have as a BC resident that if I go to Capilano I can get a yearly pass for the price of one admission. I haven’t been there for a while but I should check it out soon as a tourist in my home town. Pt Roberts is an interesting area for sure! There is another stretch out in the Fraser Valley where there are two parallel roads with a ditch separating them. The ditch is the Canada-US border. Thanks for two great episodes showcasing my home area!

[@WA-eg7ft]

Robert, I heard from our tour bus driver that the Vancouver Bird is the Crane. As is the construction cranes everywhere.

[@stacyhazelwood4033]

Vancouver buildings have that Watergate Hotel vibe going on. It's not a negative, just an observation. Happy New Year, Robert!!!

[@WhereRVStaying]

Be careful playing around the Canadian border like that. I hear that if you are caught, they send Lance to get you! Lol Happy New Year from Piper, Betsy, and I!

Was that a homeless encampment at 6:29? Great video Robert! I loved seeing Point Roberts!

[@TravelingRobert]

I believe it was

[@JrGoonior]

As far as backing in to that spot at the beginning I would have driven around to do a sight side back in as it looks like the angle of the spots is better for that.

you should do great lakes this fall robert

[@PBDrives]

I second that. A great variety of beautiful views and wilderness and interesting big cities (Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, etc...) Options to explore!

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

I'm wondering something Robert...when you first started, did you only film on your phone or something else? I'm just starting to actually 'vlog' and it just always looks terrible, but I cannot afford expensive equipment...any tips or tricks in the beginning you can tell me? Your videos always look so amazing, I figure I'd ask one of the best, if not THE best youtubers I watch!

[@TravelingRobert]

Any new high-end phone will get you 90% there. A dedicated camera is Lways better. GoPro for walking shots and I love the zoom on my Sony AX53

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

@@TravelingRobert Ok, thank you...and I loved the owl too!

[@stevegiblin270]

This guy knows what he is talking about?😊

[@MrToyota-x4w]

Vancouver is similar to say, London: great place to visit but horrible place to live. Instead of Capilano suspension bridge, you should have gone to Lynn Canyon suspension bridge in Lynn Canyon park . Much less touristy, free and footpaths on both sides of Lynn Creek running from the main harbor up to mountainous Rice Lake, where you lose all cell service!

[@tomduley6357]

Good to know! When I watched the portion about Capilano I was thinking that’s cool but way too crowded. I’m not sure I would ever do that.

A very interesting "oddity". Another term might be political and geographical nonsense. At least it was scenic!

[@steviehandsome4712]

Holy smokes! What a profoundly depressing, abhorrence of a city. Haven’t been in a while. Beautiful nature ruined by brutalist “modern” architecture.
