TRAVEL DIARIES 🐳 book shopping, whale watching, cafes, the maritimes with my mom!

[@hannahm153]

Oh my goodness Emma, your words while talking about not wanting the urban sprawl and longing for LESS made me cry. It spoke to me so much and you articulated it so beautifully. I feel exactly the same. I am SO blessed to live in a small town in Maine, USA- a place with natural spaces down the road and wilderness not far away. I sincerely hope that you find your happiness and are able to move away from urban life. (Also, I want that section of your voiceover written down so I can read it and consume it over and over again, like poetry.) “one grows sick on the excess” “give me the grass…the wide open, and the foamy wake, and the whales”. I mean come ON, my SOUL 😍😍😍

[@Kyle4k9]

Emma, what a wonderful writer you are. The video is beautiful but what you said is so meaningful; it’s going to stay with me too. Awesome work.

[@moniquebaham]

Emma, your travel vlogs always make me cry. 😢 Thank you for documenting your trips to these gorgeous places that many of us may never see for ourselves. I very much respect how well you know what you want and your commitment to it. I’m sure that you will find the piece of this Earth where you belong. I love your channel and get so much joy out of your content. You’re the only KZbinr for who I have notifications turned on. ❤

[@nathan3707]

Omg Emma I’m from Newfoundland! I’m so glad you visited, I’m a bit biased but this is a magical place with so much beauty that hasn’t been seen by enough people.

[@user-qg9ed3lo4g]

That's probably why it's so magical. Like Narnia, not many people find the door.

[@Bonitolibro]

Is there anything better than Emma talking about books? Yes, Emma talking about places ❤

[@miriam2526]

I'm sitting here crying over the beauty of this vlog and some things you were saying. I moved to a small irish farm a couple of years ago but at the moment have to go back to germany over the winter (jobwise). People keep telling me that I should be grateful, because there's so much more happening in germany, clubs, theatres, cafes, everyone is always involved in so many projects. And yes, I can appreciate all of it but I don't miss it when I don't have it. My life here in ireland consists of waking up with the birds, being outside all day working on the farm, reading a book, going to bed. Not what most people would find very exciting but to me it is everything ❤ I wish you all the best in your journey of finding such a place for yourself!

[@PaulinaReadsss]

The best travel vlog I have seen. Idk why but I cried when you were talking about why you like the countryside and all that one can find there! It made me feel so at peace. Your voice and it’s smoothness makes me feel so comfortable, the music choice for the video was perfect, the video shots they all make perfect sense and tell a story by its own… everything of this video is right. Thank you for making art and sharing it with us! You inspire! 🫶🏼

[@sprouscl]

Wonderful commentary on the value and beauty of natural and rural places. I chose a quiet life for myself and do not regret it.

[@haerhawk]

You look so happy and joyful there. I hope you get to settle someplace like that ❤ you certainly deserve it. Also your mom is amazing

[@keriferguson2501]

The Two Whales was my great grandads house and where my uncle grew up before it was a coffee shop!! We're from Scotland but have been over 3 times since 2019 as we only found out about our Canadian relatives in 2018!! So lovely to hear that you wanted to go. Its a lovely little place!

[@readingintrees]

I love how you and your mom can giggle together so readily. You guys must be so lucky to have each other.

[@aiscahill]

I visited St. John’s for 10 days in 2018. I had had a rough surgery earlier that year, one which I’ve never recovered fully from. I spent all of my money and flew there from Ireland to stay with a friend and that trip has had such a profound impact on me. It felt for me like the dividing line between fighting sickness and disability, and coming home and settling into and accepting a new way of living, knowing I’d never return to work or a life that feels ‘normal’ again. Thanks so much for allowing me to revisit. I’m so glad you loved your trip 💙

[@tonystales4724]

Just the dose of positivity I needed. Beautifully done. Such lovely scenery, and your mom is a great companion. Great content Emma.

[@vyomamody8901]

Emma, you captured how I feel so eloquently! This video along with what you said bought tears to my eyes and a longing so intense that I could only clutch my heart and hope of a quiet life amidst nature one day. Having lived all my life in the city, such holidays feel like homecoming and going back to the urban life feels so difficult afterwards! P.S. Newfoundland seems like absolute heaven and I hope one day we can both live our dreams in a place like this!❤

[@alep5561]

the way i teared up watching you getting to see an iceberg Emma I'm incredibly happy for you. you have a talent to make these vlogs so personal and emotional making me want to visit places i didn't even know existed. tysm for sharing your experiences with us

[@nikkivenable73]

Oh Emma! Seeing that iceberg was the coolest thing(pardon the pun)! I've never seen one myself but seeing how much you enjoyed it made it even more fun! You appreciate nature so much❤❤❤❤

[@jo-ws2vr]

Emma, your narration in this vlog is so so gorgeous and so moving, please continue putting your writing out like this, integrated into your videos!!!! The visuals are absolutely stunning as well in this vlog, I am again and again amazed at your talent and just feel so inspired. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤❤

[@Cubehead27]

The whales make me want to visit the East coast so badly 🐋 I've never been but it's such a special part of the world

[@dimsumspastten]

Your mom seems amazing! So happy you got to go on a trip with her 🐳

[@annushkam]

couldn't help smiling during the whole video and even cried when you got to see whales💔 thank you for sharing these moments with us!

[@lisasstitchingandsuch]

Well done to Emma's Mum for doing all the hikes! Incredible trip. Only thing I knew about Newfoundland (before this vlog) is the 9/11 story of Gander and all the planes landing there. It looks like a magical place.

[@meganestaley]

the puffin clips!!!! they are too cute i’m afraid

[@vivianteh]

This was such a peaceful and wholesome vlog, it's raining here in my country, and being able to sit here and watch this video is truly a blessing, really! Thank you Emma!🤍

[@bexh77]

YESSS THE MUFFINS FOR PUFFINS SHIRT!!! What a beautiful vlog. I love when you travel and get to explore nature, not only because you get to be where you're happiest, but also because I also live in an urban environment and get to live vicariously through these travel diaries.

[@isabellagianolio4242]

your nature travel vlogs are truly so heartwarming, emma, your appreciation of nature is a gift 💙💙💙

[@isthisdom]

Newfoundland and Labrador are now on the list of places to go. I'm convinced. Ethereal. Curious. Seemingly, a place still left untouched. A place for Barbour jackets and running the dogs. Thanks for sharing Emma!

[@lynncornelissen]

That peace of writing you read aloud was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 💙

[@rachitgupta1819]

Emma I've been watching your previous study/ uni vlogs and they makes me feel so motivated to study! I always watch your videos between study breaks, as if they're an energy bar XD. It would be awesome if you could share your process of studying in your future study vlog. Also this place is so out of this world! What a treat to the eyes✨ I'm definitely taking my mum on a trip in future ♥️

[@penultimateh766]

Our poetess certainly loves her beautiful homeland.

[@dhaifinaarifah]

loving the way you always insert a quote at the end of your vlog! thank you for always be such a comforting presence emma 🫶🏻

[@deboranobre1783]

This was so therapeutic to watch 🥺🫶🏼

[@martinelanglois3158]

Seeing how happy you were made me happy. Loved seeing cats run to you. Proof you are a good human. 😺 You write beautifully, with words and images. Thank you for taking us with you.🐋

[@okamura3094]

This is so beautiful. I was never really sure in which kind of place I wanna live in the future. But now I know: I wanna live in a calm village or town with nature and the sea.

[@griffendell]

You're so lucky to be able to travel with your mom! This was a wonderful trip and I absolutely love your commentary. I can already tell that one day you'll be an incredible writer. 🥰

[@ninaharuki]

cozy cozy cozy travel vlog! thank you for showing another side of this beautiful world❤❤

[@trishnickles2236]

Memories for a lifetime! Thank you, Emma, for taking us along on your trip with your mum. ❤❤

[@ttoritoler]

Beautiful!! ❤ I love your travel vlogs so so much. They’re so flippin peaceful! Thank you for making them and sharing these moments with us!

[@evamatlach1986]

This Travel Vlog is so beautiful and the nature is amazing! I love the way you try to describe in your wonderful words what you feel about the Land and the people there and how you appreciate this trip! By the way - your mum seems to be such a humorous, lovely and cool Person like you! 💚

[@Honeycombheartartist]

Your voice over was so beautifully put Emma ! Made me cry . Also everytime I see a video I pray for you . I went through a bad break up followed by other scary things in 2021/2022. I’m pretty sure finding your channel and reading books damn saved my life like actually. I don’t mean that to be so heavy , but I always say god bless Emma, this young lady saved my life. ❤ as a spiritual person it was just like ya know “hey you’ll get through all this if you spend a year or two reading some stuff” :) pretty 😊cool . Thank you sincerely

[@esmeloadesu]

Emmie your appreciation for nature is truly communicative and moving

[@vr8396]

How wonderful its to see all your videos, especially vlogs, it makes my days better. And it just melts my heart hearing beautiful words from you, i don't know how you do to choose the perfect words. You're really inspiring.💗

[@joychalaby]

Such a beautiful vlog, Emma. Thank you for sharing with us the beauty of Newfoundland and your sweet adventures with your mum - it’s so beautiful. That Bilbo quote is so perfect too. I got so emotional with the beautiful wale shots in the open water. WOW.

[@circleofleaves2676]

Yay, love a long vlog and to see you happy immersed in nature.

[@katieg2449]

Ok but the binocular puffin footage looked so cool and artsy! I totally would’ve believed it was an intentional !

[@threeleggedshrew]

Just wanted to say your words, narration and films about places are beautiful, thank you so much for sharing them with us

[@mikaelabrockel]

Emma you never fail to make me cry with your beautiful musings about nature ❤

[@andreadurmeier8084]

Nature is the most beautiful thing. Thank you for this lovely travel vlog

[@elizabethr.2491]

What a beautiful beautiful video ❤❤❤ I dream of going to Newfoundland as a fellow Canadian, so so happy to see you so happy here and enjoying yourself in such a nature-esque place 🥺💞

[@chelleandpoppy6379]

Thank you for capturing your trip so beautifully ❤ I understand how crushing it is to live in a place that isn't right for you. Hope you can move to whatever spot on the map pulls your heart very soon ❤

[@jennacademia1196]

Love seeing you so happy and in your element Emma! This vlog was a treat! So happy you shared this with us and that you had a great time ❤️

[@anne-mariecampbell4388]

I love everything about this video Emma! The views are amazing and I have a new-found respect for your Mom, doing all that hiking. I'm so glad you got to have this experience together. ❤

[@denisefreitas6727]

What a beautiful travel vlog, Emma! I loved the wonderful places, the nature, the adorable animals, ... So great you went with your mom! Thank you for all the beauty, my friend! 💖☺️

[@PatrikOrjes]

Newfoundland is stunning. The wildlife is beautiful, seeing whales up close must have been an incredible experience. I guess I have to add visiting Newfoundland to my bucketlist!

[@katdance2106]

Emma your vlogs are just to die for. Thank you thank you thank you 💖

[@ironballistics]

Right now, there is a heat wave and its going to be in the triple digits for a while. That beautiful landscape was an oasis for my scorched addled subconscious mind. I caught myself smiling by the end and I don't know when I must have taken a drink but glad that somehow I did. Heh, sorry, I guess I just get to thinking when I watch your videos...

[@finsfables]

such a fantastic video emma!! you seem to thrive out there in the wilderness…i hope you get your little cottage in the woods soon 💗

[@miriam2526]

Wow, this is one of the most beautiful videos I've watched in a long time. And you're making things very difficult for me! I'm planning my first ever trip to Canada and have the Rockies/jasper/Banff booked but now I'm thinking Newfoundland 😅 the choices! Thanks for inspiring my travels, you're the best ❤

[@nanamsm]

this is beautiful to the point of being moving! thank you for taking us with you

[@user-db5si8eq5m]

What a fantastic vlog! You really put a lot of effort into it and it shows. Well done! Wonderful that you could share this experience with your Mom. Although we all love Ben, maybe solving an Agatha Christie mystery with Mom soon? I imagine that would be a lot of laughs! (The short hair really suits her).

[@bookishhobbit9248]

There's so much cool history here glad you got a chance to enjoy our beautiful province

[@kmugwort3735]

Thank you for sharing this with us all! It was so beautiful.

[@vickymaldonado7761]

What a gorgeous vlog ❤ I cannot wait to read something from you, in whatever form that is. You have such a beautiful way with words and you make these travel videos so special. They make me wanna see new places and get inspired by them. Thank you.

[@LE-wc1dr]

Emma these truly are great memories making with your Mom. Very touching. The scenery is breath taking. Thanks for sharing!!

[@user-qh2fh9ug8k]

as a student who can't even afford to travel around my own little country of england, this was so heartwarming. to be able to see a corner of this earth that i probably won't see with my own eyes is wonderful. thank you for posting this and giving me a new bucket list travel location.

[@dominiquebilodeau2225]

Love love love Newfoundland, Elliston is so beautiful, I have fond memories of my trip in 2016, the people, the landscape, the hikes, the puffins ❤❤❤ 🇨🇦 Gros Morne is literally Middle Earth!

[@monicasanoli]

Beautiful, Emma! I'm so happy you got to go on this trip and experience all that. Thank you for sharing your trip and your writing with us. Also, you and your mom sound so much alike! Haha

[@swatisharma6098]

I am starting my day with coffee and Emma 🤩

[@aquaviolin07]

This is so calm and lovely! 🦋

[@jamiemacrae4484]

so i recently moved from the Scottish Hebrides, a chain of islands that very much resembles Newfoundland,to Inverness - a City on the Mainland. This utterly magical video has made me ache for the island i left behind and the community that lives. I dont regret moving but this serves as a good reminder to seek the wild out whenever you can ❤ thank you

[@josienhanna279]

Loved this video 🫶🏼 So wonderful to see the connection between you and your mom! ❤ I really want to visit Canada sometime (I’m from Europe, the Netherlands), the looks/nature reminds me a bit of when I was in Scotland and also Norway. Very impressive those whales! 🥹

[@marie-joseecharest1735]

I really love that you travel the Canada. I am from Québec (Gaspésie area) and that inspires me to do it too! We live in a nice country. I went to Moncton NB this summer. Newfoundland seems so nice!❤❤❤

[@elizabethr.2491]

Gaspésie is my dream travel location 🥺❤️❤️ you are from such a beautiful area of Québéc!!!

[@Terminal.Rainbows]

Oh what a small world. My extended family (Ascah) are from Gaspe. Spent many wonderful summers there!

[@mad3leine]

This is beautiful! Come to Norway Emma, you would enjoy yourself here❤

[@heatherdorsey4770]

This is so beautiful! Years ago, I taught Grade 6 Geography. The first unit was Canada. I found a 90-minute DVD that showed every Canadian National Park. Gros Morne was the first park. My students loved it. I taught in an urban school in the American South. Most students had never been outside the city.

[@kathy2539]

Emma this trip you took to New Foundland was terrific, what an amazing experience. Puffins are such funny birds and appear in Enid Blyton's "The Sea of Adventure", I always loved reading this story because of the puffins the children befriended. New Foundland is so beautiful, I'm dreaming of New Foundland.

[@mollybrewer8098]

Oh what a beautiful place ❤ Thank you so much for sharing! It's very, very hot where I'm at, and this just brought a lot of joy to my cold-weather craving little heart

[@pendragon2012]

Sounds like an AMAZING trip! I finished As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow yesterday. Great book, but definitely broke me! Hope you have a great week!

[@NZAnimeManga]

Wow, Newfoundland is stunning🤩

[@medsm3113]

Urgh you made this video so beautifully, got me crying

[@larissaaniz]

woow, seing the world through your lens is such a bless! I'm so glad u had a nice time

[@sandramiksaauthor]

Lovely vlog Emma!! It's so insane because I think I was maybe a weekend away from my trip to Newfoundland. I only got to visit St John's and I absolutely fell in love with the town. I also went to Elaine's books 📚 (she's so lovely) and even got screeched in later at Christian's. I am delighted you got to hike different trails and visit other beautiful locations. (I was only flying there for a day.) This vlog was pure poetry Emma! 🥰 Love, Sandra, from Toronto 🇨🇦

[@ZhiYun412]

Like travel diaries!! so peaceful🥰And the view is stunning!!

[@Integritydefins]

Living in Vermont so close to Canada and ive never gone. I need to go. Its such a nostalgic stillness and emotion. And the ethereal beauty among the clouds. Like walking with ghosts

[@siobhaneringde]

Aaaa hope u had a great time, Emma!! You're one of my favorite ppl

[@vickilimbocker2505]

Beautiful in every way. I completely agree with your beautifully written words. I’m a winter country girl as well and suffocate in the city.

[@annamaria9392]

Newfoundland looks absolutely beautiful omg

[@alyssaerinhoover]

Needed a break from the city, thank you! Love you Emmie 💕

[@alejandragomez499]

Thank you for taking us with you! I absolutely love your traveling blogs ❤

[@subtlefire7256]

That was beautiful, thank you so much for sharing this with us. ❤

[@juliecoffey4161]

I was there two weeks ago. I’ve been all over the world, and hands down, Newfoundland is the best place! Next time, be sure to visit Brigus.

[@juliecoffey4161]

Also, very curious. Did you complete the 5 km loop for the trail in Twillingate with the natural arch? We did it, and it was the HARDEST, most stressful hike I've ever done!!! Trail was ambiguously marked and we were worried we missed a fork.

[@mina.e.l.f9643]

Its just like a dream. thank you for share these beautiful moments.

[@itsjustamy1876]

your mom is adorable!

[@rondoflicflac]

This is art ❤ thanks for sharing!

[@cindyurban150]

Emma, Thank You for taking me to a place I will never get to visit. How wonderful you got to share this first time experience with your Mom.You will both, someday, look at this time spent together as a photograph of a magical memory. Your photography was so beautiful ! I can definitely see the Hobbits living in a root cellar there ! I totally share your mindset of choosing to live there in peace, and tranquility,rather than a noisy city. I also love a colder climate. The whales, and the iceberg were amazing ! I wish I was sipping a tea,or coffee right alongside you and your Mom, but wait...I am ! Thank You again. Cindy

[@evajean7568]

as a bay area native, the san fran joke made me giggle so thank you :)

[@kimbarbeaureads]

Those well-fed Newfie cats 😍😍😍

[@Torsee]

22:22 Wow the swells of the water were impressive. The neighboring boat almost disappears! 10 foot or more.

[@Edenbotbyl]

I was not ready for the scrapbook at the restaurant😭🫶🏻

[@elodie_k221b]

I was expecting the Argonath to show up on the river to the fjords. 😄

[@isabelmariamoorealonso666]

Besides the mesmerising trip you went on I just wanted to add how beautiful & radiant you look! Thank you for this video🌟

[@MattNineFive]

Beautiful place to visit! It looks like its straight out of a novel and very unique to the rest of Canada, glad you were able to check it out!
