MY ITALIAN SISTER'S FIRST TIME IN CANADA

happy 2023 everyone 💗💗
[about me]
Hi my name is Rosie, I'm 26 and my life is a bit confusing so i'm writing this lol.
To make it easy:
- I was born in Northern Italy, in the region of Veneto
- My whole family still lives there (mom, dad and my little sister Marty)
- I moved to Toronto, Canada, at 19 all alone to ✨find myself✨ (spoiler: it didn't work, i got more lost if anything).
So, I live half my life in Italy and half my life in Canada.
Also, my mom is from Moldova (country in Eastern Europe) and my dad is from Calabria (region in Southern Italy) and both my grandmas still live there. So you’ll occasionally see me going there as well.
I hope this clears things up a bit.. or maybe makes them more confusing lol.
I don’t know, i tried 😄

The fact that you said you don’t normally spend that much on groceries for yourself but you made an exception just for your sister is so sweet.

Don’t worry Rosie, we won’t judge you and “special friend” lol. We understand things can get complicated! It’s your life 🫶🏽

I'm American, married into a Franco-Italian family, now live in Europe. But I lived in Canada for awhile as a young newlywed and... your vlog is adorable. You and your sister... and your special friend. Brings back good memories and fun times :) Grazie mille

[@dsmith6785]

Congratulations, Marty, for surviving the once-in-a-generation Canadian Arctic storm! You have stories to tell your children. Rosie, so thankful you made it to Pearson and back during the height of the storm. There were many accidents and the police had closed roads and advised everyone to stay home or risk getting stranded. You have the true, brave spirit of an adventurer. Your family members should visit at times other than the dead of winter though. The deep freeze isn’t our province’s best trait. Psst, Rosie, your ‘special friend’ is very handsome and helpful!

[@randirickles3938]

Your parents did a great job raising you & your sister, and it truly shows! I absolutely adore your channel….♥️

[@glamoroustwist7482]

It’s so cute seeing Marty get excited over the simplest things

[@MarnieIahtail12]

Marty is so precious, she reminds me of my niece who moved from northern Ontario where they have expensive groceries and limited variety of snacks. When she finally moved here she went crazy at the grocery stores it was adorable.

[@nodrama6131]

There is no other chanel on the whole youtube that I really love, it is truly only yours. You are so authentic that you can't even begin to imagine it. Never ever change your way of taking videos and editing them. You have an amazing bond with your sister similar to the one I have with my sister. 💜 be blessed with health and as much prosperity as possible.

[@hungrybabydinochen9620]

Rosie! So happy to see that you had a wonderful Christmas. I'm glad Marty came up to Canada and that we got to share it with you guys. It was also nice to see Vladi, he seems wonderful! I am looking forward to your trip to New York, if you will be uploading that. HAPPY 2023!

Hi Rosie, my daughter found your "what I eat in a week in Italy" video and she loved it. She showed me and her Nonna and we have all enjoyed your channel. My mother is from Cormons in Friuli and she used to visit Padova all the time to go to the basilica. Venice is my favorite place. Your mom is an amazing worker by the way.

[@bevh4408]

[@nadajurkovic9734]

Ah, Marty is so cute! She is a trooper through the extreme weather and ( I imagine) the jetlag as well. Look forward to seeing more of her visit 😊

[@thadartun7670]

Marty is so adorable and Rosie really took care of her like a baby :( you guys are so cuteeee

[@shanekiapaul3229]

I smiled the entire video!!! So happy your sister was able to spend Christmas with you. Your “friend” seems really sweet too. Can’t wait to see your visit to NY.

[@kris2222ify]

This was so fun! Love Marty’s positive energy and Vladi is as sweet to her. ❤

[@MsVitaMaria]

Rosie, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I am a daughter of an Italian mama, mama, Angela, and when I watch your videos, and all the food you eat, this is how I was raised with all those beautiful Italian traditions. I think you’re brave and bravo to you beautiful Rosie for going all by yourself to Canada, which is basically the United States and living there and trying to find yourself. That is super brave. I mean I was born in California but my first language was Italian. I didn’t get back to Italy until I was like in my mid 20s. I went as a little girl, but I don’t remember any of that. But anyway, I love your videos. I’m laughing at your little sister as she is just eating all the junk food that makes American so fat. Try not to get her to hook to that stuff. Italians cook healthy. They walk a lot. Most of them don’t get too fat because they’re so busy walking all over the place cause they don’t have cars. Anyway, I just love your channel. I can’t wait to see how your family cooks all the fishes on Christmas Eve next year. I really miss that tradition since my mom has passed away. I don’t do it because I don’t want to do all the work. Italian cooking is a labor of love and a lot of work.

[@omaraemily]

I’m literally obsessed with all your videos. Marty is freakin adorable and I think your sister relationship is the absolute best! Treasure it ❤. AND, You’re the only channel i put the notifications on for. Thanks for making my day better, Rosie! You’re the best 🤗

[@tree.hugger]

Rosie - Your best video EVER! Such happy sisters. You are great videographer and beautiful, interesting subject. And MARTY, genuine comedic genius! There are so many shots when she gets her thought across with just ONE EYE in the viewfinder. 👀 P.S. Having your “friend” nearby, great choice.

[@subhiksharamachandran5978]

As someone who has never seen snow in my life and hates cold, seeing you guys just walking out there in that temperature god! I always find myself going back to rewatch your vlogs guess this will be one of those vlog. Happy 2023!! sorry for never commenting before i'm introverted and awkward like that

[@pixierainbow7]

Very fun vlog. Marty looks like she's having a good time despite the cold. Hope you enjoy NYC

I love you're little sister Rosie! What a trooper tbh. I know she's not used to that cold. I live in Michigan so it's only slightly better usually on the the weather. She handled it so well! You're my favorite channel these days 🤗 I always get so excited when I see you have a video up ❤️ it's just feels like relaxing watching a Rosie video.

Hi Rosie, your sister was very lucky that her flight was not cancelled. I was supposed to fly to New York on Dec 23rd and Porter airline cancelled my flight. I was so jealous to hear that you guys went to New York by car after Christmas.. I didn’t make it to New York 😞 I hope you guys had a blast and that your sister enjoyed Canada and NYC. Happy New Years from a Romanian living in Toronto 🎉🍾☺️

[@resurrectedwreck]

Of all the days to arrive in Canada! My nephew and brother-in-law flew into Vancouver from Australia at the same time, and also encountered a snowstorm. If they'd come a week later it would have been totally different. Winter in Canada, eh! You never know what you're going to get!

[@tarobun2444]

I’m Aussie and I think I would quite literally die if I went to Canada in winter. I get blue lips just by being in the swimming pool too long in summer lol. I hope Marty passed her tests at schools. Ever since you mentioned her struggles at school and how much work she has to put in I think about it often and feel so bad for her. Does she have autism?She’s such a lovely girl and you two have a really beautiful relationship.

[@kings98124]

Autism is different. What I think Marty has is dyslexia.

I liked the way you show how was the reality in the middle of the snow storm because through your eyes i could see how big it was and trough other americans youtubers i cant have that consciness because they cant feel the difference of the intensity of the weather because they are not from another country.
