Spontaneous Road Trip to Canada | Vancouver at Christmastime

[@allisonanderson]

Thanks for watching! Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season and getting some quality time with all of your loved ones!

[@johnmowry4582]

I'm from Vancouver!

[@CaliDawn]

Allison Anderson thank you from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 sky’s are amazing this season. Sparkling bright. So glad you enjoyed your visit !

[@cherylsibson8457]

yes, I'm from Canada too and thank you for showing off Vancouver in a charming way and glad you were excited about seeing Vancouver, and yes, Canada is an international country people from all over the world live here. Glad you posted.

[@katymaloney]

I went on a solo trip to Vancouver last June, and had the best time too! I loved the drive up to Whistler, stopping by on the way to Squamish was great, it's a really cute little town, lots of little shops and cafés! Steveston is also a must, just south of Richmond. If you watched the TV show Once Upon a Time, it's where they set up the stage for the town of Storybrooke! It's a cute little fishing village, lots of little shops and restaurants and a few nice waterfront promenades and parks. Banff and Lake Louise I visited on a trip to Calgary, the drive alone across the Rockies is worth it! Those icy blue water creeks, it's just wonderful in the spring! I mean all of Canada is awesome all year long! I'm near Montreal, in the St-Lawrence Valley, and it's a real dream, it's like winter wonderland right now, sights for days!!! Sometimes I wish I was a youtuber just so I could share those views with the world! Oh well, maybe in 2020, in the meantime my shitty Insta will have to do...! lol WIshing you happy holidays and all, may 2020 be full of open-hearted discoveries and fun adventures!

[@adriennelucky2223]

Yay! I’m from Canada (Alberta) & it’s so refreshing for a youtuber to not only visit Canada but to be excited about it. Thanks for visiting! Definitely head to Banff & Lake Louise when you have the opportunity. It’s so gorgeous. I’m heading there in the new year. Happy Holidays!

[@johnmowry4582]

Oh, I'm from Vancouver!

[@suprotikdutta6693]

It's just so perfect . It's like the Switzerland of North America ☺️

[@dingrena]

I am a Vancouverite. Thank you for your very kind and generous words about Vancouver, British Columbia. We love you, God Bless.

[@lba4538]

Hello delia .. how are you ? Can we contact each other ?

[@terrymiddleton]

Vancouver is one of the best experiences I've ever had in life...AMAZING!

[@ekiem8]

I would love to see a “behind the scenes” video on how you shoot and cut your videos. This one was just awesome again!

[@thea-rosecatto9467]

Yes come to JASPER! It’s my home and way less busy then Banff!

[@NatyMidnight]

Ditto!

[@tadeojayden8095]

I know it is quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to stream newly released series online ?

[@douglasjamison4936]

@Tadeo Jayden I would suggest FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

[@mirandaalexis]

vancouver during winter is gorgeous

[@ibr244]

This video just reminded me why I live in Vancouver!! 😍

[@ceciliatamondong9207]

Hi I'm from Hawaii and we just returned from Vancouver a week ago. Whistler was beautiful! Vancouver was awesome, we went to the places you did and what a treat! It was a little cold for this Hawaii girl but would do it again in a heartbeat; but, maybe in spring.

[@MyFocusVaries]

August or September are your best bets for warm weather here in Vancouver! Spring is often rainy and cool. And fingers crossed that we have a vaccine by then! Something to hope and plan for.

[@sarahmavignierr]

You are so down to earth and authentic. I cant wait to see you hit millions of subscribers!!!! Your videos give me so much peace 💛🌟

[@DorisZhou58]

Vancouver is home for me. I moved to Tokyo just 2 months ago, this vlog really makes me miss home! Glad you had a lovely time in Vancouver, and the suspension bridge lights are the best.

[@MNeathway]

I hope you’re loving Tokyo. We visited there (from Vancouver) this spring and were blown away

[@chocostars1]

This mini Vancouver trip was cute. I live in Toronto and I've only gone to Vancouver once. I loved it. I should explore Canada more. Thank you!

[@lba4538]

Hey lady .. how is toronto ..? We would love to visit canada someday .. can we contact each other?

[@MissSHebert]

Your videos are always awesome ! You're one of the only youtubers that I don't skip moments in the video, the transition are so smooth, the music is great and really interesting content/adventure ! Keep going Allison!

[@ccwanders]

Banff and Jasper are amazing. We went in the summer and loved it. Don’t miss Yoho and Kootenay if you go because they are so close, too!

[@missemcee]

Omg I love your travel videos so so much. Your footage and editing skills have grown so much. Maybe it’s because I love travel, but they give me all the feels! Please do more! Also, Canadian right here dying to go back to Vancouver and have also yet to check out the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Was thinking the next time I go will be in the summer but you’ve now enticed me to plan a winter visit at some point too! So magical.

[@anniebanana3698]

So lovely to see my city through new eyes. Even though I honestly feel gratitude everyday for being able to live here. You have virtually every opportunity at your fingertips in VanCity. The more I travel, the more I truly appreciate my home. Glad you had a great trip!

[@RebeccaLately]

This was so much fun to watch! When we visit Seattle for the first time in the spring, we hopped over to Vancouver for a day. It's a beautiful city!

[@whitejamie89]

Love your videos! My husband and I honeymooned in Canada- starting out in Banff/Jasper then driving to Vancouver with some wonderful stops along the way in wine country. Can’t recommend it enough!

[@x0bebe0x]

Thanks for visiting my hometown 🥰 glad you enjoyed it!!

[@FancyySparkles]

This was soooo beautifully done. Really lovely to watch. So glad you were able to come visit Vancouver, come back soon! 🇨🇦 ❤️

[@Debrydelys-Deeberdeyn]

. This is my favorite city in the world. I see so many glass skyscrapers. I notice modernity so refined - I'm sure it must be a great honor for you to be there. This scenario is enveloping.

[@nathanserolf2313]

The Capilano suspension bridge was so nice especially at night when the christmas lights are visible. Was just there on the 23rd

[@ameliaschofield5680]

Love that you highlighted Vancouver. It's my favourite city

[@KellyStamps]

I'm early! I'm amongst the first 20 comments. I love your videos Allison and I'm booking a solo trip to Canada bc of you!

[@allisonanderson]

Thank you and yay! Always happy to inspire some solo travel!

[@noonevincecarterfan]

Awesome video Allison, great joy to watch! Vancouver is no 1 on my bucket list for sure. Love how you always seem to find a good balance between sharing parts of your personal experience but not making the videos all about youself. Your humble, positive and down to earth attitude makes the videos even more enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great job!

[@JCKCFOREVER]

I just loved this video. You shoot such beautiful footage and it always brings a sense of calm to me. I’ve been watching since around 2011/2012 and you’re still one of my favorite youtubers!

[@Victoriaxx08]

Well no way! I’m living in Vancouver and just took a spontaneous trip to Washington. We probs crosses paths! Hope the border wait wasn’t too long for you!

[@elgee616]

allison, i have followed you since amarixe! I just want to tell you that the content you're putting out is QUALITY!

[@sebastianinouye]

Vancouver is so magical at Christmastime

[@cjzed6916]

GO TO WHISTLER IN THE SUMMER!! I can't say it loud enough. It's so much better than the winter, in my opinion. Less pretentious people and such a chill vibe. There's so much to do as well. Some of my favourites are: kayaking, white water rafting, renting electric bikes, hiking, Peak 2 Peak gondola, ziplining, etc.

[@msmintygreen]

Love that you went to my hometown!! Come more often please

[@smileygigglez88]

This just made me miss Vancouver

[@nimishakeskar2332]

This was such a beautiful and serene video! Your perspective towards travel or life is not too extreme. It is mild and cost and comforting, as are you! It totally shows in the videos and I can't stop watching them. The location, the light drizzle, music, and the aura overall is so pleasant. You have got me so excited for Vancouver 😍

[@sydneybaldwin3514]

How wonderful that you can nip across from beautiful Washington to stunning Canada. The lights and the trees looked incredibly whimsical. Great footage as always.

[@drkellyncsu]

I live in Seattle too and I want to get up to Banff this summer! I've never been, but it seems like such a great escape!

[@Velavox]

Van Duden gardens in Vancouver at night at Christmas is worth seeing as well! Right by the suspension bridge is Edgemont Village which is worth a visit as well like 5 mins away! You should also look into visiting an island like Salt Spring (very sleep but they have an art gallery tour you do yourself where you drive around the island) or go to Tofino (surfer town so cute with great shops and the beaches are cool to walk on) on Vancouver island for a trip! Both Would be a 2-3 day trip though.

[@youaresobeautiful2me]

Yay! I'm from Vancouver, and next year, you should come up and check out the Van Dusen Garden lights here. They are my favorite ones and the most beautiful, I think 😊😊 glad you enjoyed your stay!!

[@MissMarleyLovesYou]

So glad you've loved your time in Canada! Banff and Jasper are a must next time. Ahhh the West coast is the best :)

[@ChrissyGutierrez]

Love this video Allison! That bridge is stunning and I think the rain and gloominess just added to it!

[@AshesOfRoses]

The holiday bridge was breathtaking and even though you shared it with others I felt a serenity and peacefulness while viewing it. Beautiful footage. The camera work looked great as well. Thanks for taking us along. 🎄❤🎅

[@meursaultscourtroom8886]

Happy holidays, thanks for inspiring me to do more solo travels!

[@itsannalewis]

Your videos are so beautiful and inspiring. Definitely adding Vancouver to my travel wish list!

[@Mollymoolol9898]

I live in Vancouver and feel the same way about Seattle.it is such a nice great little getaway spot. And yes, go to Banff. It’s stunning.one of the most gorgeous places in the whole world.

[@tristachau490]

Thanks for the video. It's an exciting solo adventure. I am going to be visiting Vancouver in 2 weeks for 5 days! Can't wait!

[@SchnuffiJames]

Thankyou for visiting Canada glad you had fun. As a home sick Canadian living abroad thanks. Come back.

[@angelabarabas1659]

Your incredible smile and attitude is enchanting

[@GinnyLantern]

My heart is being pulled towards Vancouver at the moment, no idea why, so this video was perfectly timed, thank you. The DJI Osmo did really well too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. 💖🎄🍾

[@theridgelinestories]

The DJI osmo pocket is really nice.. small and capable of recordo great footage 😊

[@chloeandludvig]

Always love watching your solo adventures Allison!! :D

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Loved it. I going to Vancouver for the first time in September. It looks great.👍😊🇮🇪🇨🇦🇺🇲

[@liamryan8126]

'Some of the trips close to home are the best' - because you live in one of the most glamorous parts of the world 😄 I moved to Canada this year to be closer to the PNW and spend more time exploring all the incredibly beautiful places here and your channel is sure giving me inspiration to seek out the best spots when I get a chance 🙂

[@middlemarie2]

I live here but have never been because it is so expensive!

[@mishaalzk6033]

karen segal um its like $35-40?😐

[@LeaMarieBruce]

What a nice trip! That bridge is beautiful!

[@selenacruz754]

Canada is so beautiful. Something on my travel bucket list is to take a big road trip across Canada + Alaska !!!! Glad you had a good time in Canada and am looking forward to where you will be headed next! :)

[@backpackingwithchrissy7475]

Great video! Reminds me of the old days living in Vancouver! Glad you got to experience Capilano Suspension bridge at Christmas time!

[@missmegancarlene]

What hotel did you stay at? I live in Victoria and sometimes Vancouver hotel prices are just insane. Would be night to have a cute little budget hotel in my back pocket if I needed it!

[@zoemw04]

This looks so beautiful! I’ve always wanted to go to Canada!

[@LisaPreece]

Loved seeing Canada at Christmastime! I went last September and fell in love (I vlogged everything too - including the Capilano Suspension Bridge!). I also did a tour up to Whistler, Banff and Jasper and I cannot recommend it enough. I hope you get to go soon as your footage will be so beautiful!

[@tipsycat27]

haha, so cool, you walked right past my office. I moved to Vancouver a few months ago from England and it's so nice to see you enjoy it as much as I've been enjoying it

[@LunaNova1122]

I’m from England too and considering moving to Vancouver. What’s it like compared to the uk in terms of living costs and is finding a job easy ?

[@susanvelez6534]

Oh that was just stunning ! Merry Christmas! It looked magical

[@kiana7581]

I live right by the suspension bridge and I’ve been there every winter but I still watched this vid bc ur so cute❤️ glad you enjoyed ur time

[@allisonanderson]

You live in such a beautiful area!

[@richardcarter5404]

Canada is just awesome full stop. I live in Ontario and have travelled out to BC a few times. Can't wait for this madness to be over so we can start traveling again. I came across your channel researching car campers. Love your videos

[@shelbiej94]

These videos give me all the feels. You are such an artist! ❤️

[@ProdiGee101]

nice to see Vancouver get some love!

[@sparky25833]

Nice!! Live in Vancouver (well outside Vancouver) Love the christmas bridge do it all the time. Nice to see you loving it

[@simplyshanna22]

Love watching your videos! You shoot everything so beautifully

[@allisonanderson]

Thank you!

[@bonniehuang8696]

Watching this video from my home in Vancouver. Vancouver appears to be so charming, lovely and magical through your lenses xoxo

[@erinmmelia]

Exploring locally is so much fun!

[@lazy141]

Omg Capilano Suspension Bridge is honestly amazing during the Christmas session! I absolutely love it! Next time you do a mini trip to Vancouver during the summer, you should totally explore Garibaldi Lake! An amazing hike and the end result is stunning!

[@kimconnollysolocampermarri467]

Love the glasses. My family is in Vancouver but I live in Australia. It’s so easy to get my husband to come with me for endless cups of tea with my sisters and my mother and visit many relatives every 2 years because we always go to Whistler, summer or winter. BUT we haven’t been to Capilano to see the lights. COVID willing, we will this year. Love your videos.

[@ricai132]

Allison I love your vlogs!! They always transport me to wherever you are. ☺️ Can you please do a vlog on Seattle on your favorite eateries/sights/things to do for a first time Pacific Northwesterner?

[@britneystojke2181]

You captured this all sooo beautifully! Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas!

[@RvrGrl80]

Magical video! Your stuff is always so, so good.

[@freewheelpua]

[@samhinrichs203]

i just found your videos and have been binging them. in love!!

[@MrTilu-hz6sg]

You make Vancouver look very beautiful I must say, thank you for a new perspective towards Vancouver because even though I live here I have not appreciated it as well as you ! 💜

[@anjaliparanjape9582]

Bridge with lights on it was something very Awesome 👍

[@marvinestupe8627]

I hope you make it to Banff and there is also Canmore Alberta... I live in Calgary and you can also check it out over here.. it's got it's charms of western canada

[@choochness71]

Thanks for coming to our beautiful city xo. Come again. So much to see and experience.

[@sassyleslie1121]

Fantastic Video! Vancouver is one of my favourite cities! Glad you enjoyed it

[@jackienims]

Loved it! I lived in WA for so many years and never got the chance to visit Canada :( That small camera is awesome, I will definitely look into it!

[@DPauyo76]

Seattle, Vancouver and Quebec City are definitely on my travel list this year! And I have to see the Canadian Rockies! Visited Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal several times and loved it there! Love Canada! Great travel video! Loved it Allison! Happy New Year! 😀👍👏💃🏿🎉🎊✈️🇨🇦🌈

[@cherylsemrau4375]

Welcome to Canada. When the border is open fly to Edmonton, then road trip to Jasper, Bantf and then fly from Calgary.

[@mattdalton7]

Hey Allison! Really like your videos and enjoyed seeing your trip to Vancouver. Inspired me to start working on ideas to film a solo travel vlog for my channel. Happy new year!

[@sidramemon9394]

Loved the Vlog. Thank you for taking us to Canada! 💫

[@brianlam257]

omg that suspension bridge is doped! Thank you for letting me know this wonderland

[@briangrandis7752]

Banff is the Holy grail, enjoy it!!!

[@jetadorexx]

Such refreshing content! Love it. Been watching you for years girl. Have a great Christmas 🙂🎄

[@allisonanderson]

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@jeterfan93]

Hi Allison, this may be a weird question, but what car did you drive in the video? I loooove that brown leather interior ❤

[@blissgirl9052]

Always enjoy your vlogs! Also like the mini camera, good shots!

[@stefaniemedina14]

Glasses are super cute! Always love watching your videos!

[@saraelenaf]

Ahh!!! You are one of my favourite creators and it brings me such joy seeing you enjoy my home town!!! Come back in the summer, you would love it!

[@AshishDavidOfficial]

The only girl who (according to me) I think has such good sense of photography and music that should go with and also how much is supposed to be said!

[@pancakezy4169]

Welcome to Vancouver, Please come back I would like to see more

[@jemstar7592]

I'm so glad you came to Vancouver! I love my city (I also love Seattle!). Happy Holidays. PS: When you get to Banff, don't miss the Johnston Canyon hike. it's mindblowing - I did it in -27 C in December a few years back. The waterfalls were frozen.. you'll love it.

[@katieschultz5711]

Awww loved this vlog. I live in Vancouver and you did such a great job of featuring the highlights! I feel the same way about going down to Seattle. I don't do it often enough!
