Traveling From Alberta To Saskatchewan To Visit My Dad

Travel during covid times has been challenging to say the least, especially when it comes to visiting family. I was very excited to see my Dad after almost a year of being apart. I flew from Calgary to Saskatoon in one of the coldest months of winter, but I will say it was 100% worth it. In the video my Dad and I give you a bit of tour of the lovely city of Saskatoon. While I would recommend visiting in the summer, there are a lot of great places to see and a lot to do. Hope you enjoy the video! xx

[@westernwanderer8397]

I like your dad, he seems like such a nice guy. Trust me, you are lucky. Welcome back, you'll have lots of time to plan your next adventure.

[@faithyfaithers]

Hello from Saskatoon! It’s awesome that you were able to share a glimpse of our beautiful city with everyone! ☺️

[@jacquesdobatien3927]

You should join Alina on her video to add color ... what say you Alina ?

[@sidhantverma]

Dads are not expressive but they do love their children a lot.

[@mariajiml9895]

I agree.

[@zuinaziz6828]

Your dad is genuinely nice and a humble man, i like him, also it's so good seeing you visiting him every now and then, he surely appreciate it. say hi to him please

[@samuelrodriguez5033]

Alina, I am glad you got to see your Dad. He is such a beautiful and loving person. He reminds me of my Dad. Unconditional love every step of the way. Parents are such a blessing, they remind us what is really important in life. Paka, paka Alina.

[@openyourmind742]

Parents are the rarest fruits in this world. Update: I couldn't resist expressing my feelings. The luckiest of all are those whose parent(s) are breathing. Love them, hold their hands. Live with them and express your feelings to them. Once they are gone, all left are precious memories and endless regrets.

[@annyvitoria3074]

Having a father and mother is asset that no money buys

[@timsummers870]

Yes, you're absolutely right! My mother is still around but my dad passed in April 2015. I hope Alina makes the most of her time in Saskatoon with her dad.

[@simonlee5659]

So true 👍

[@THE_ORIGINAL_I-SEARCHdotFUN]

So true Anny. Indeed.

[@geminiinc1042]

Yes very much. I lost my Mom 3 years ago and still haven't got over it, a void that can not be filled.

[@r2c3]

When your dad is waiting for you at the airport after being a year away is one of those moments that is hard to describe in any language👨‍👧 Words of wisdom 4:17: I know you, but you might also change 👍

[@dontbetonit813]

I have waited at that same airport for my daughter to arrive. I will tell you from experience the feeling you get when you see your daughter after she has been away for a period of time is priceless.

[@davidellis5141]

Hi Alina - Nice to see your Dad again. " I'm Still Standing ! " is an awesome response to the question " How Are You ? " especially in these times. Enjoy your visit ! 😃

[@Navajo-man]

Hi welcome home you’re a beautiful daughter spending time with dad and you both be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@bbbart77]

Still standing was a good response. Reminds me of my mother in her later years ,hers was "still above ground" .

[@rene3339]

Traveling is great but nothing beats a come back to the homeland after being away for a long time. Your dad is surely extremely happy to see you again.

[@rene3339]

Спасибо алина. Merci Alina

[@steveethelston7047]

Alina, your music choice just matches the images perfectly. You have that nailed.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you very much!

[@vinodpund1574]

I do agree, super cool match seen and music perfect blend

[@mitchellscott1843]

Agree!! The music is always on point.

[@radenurban1136]

💓

[@publiuszam563]

What is the name of the song which starts at the one minute mark?

[@longliveusalongliveusa9702]

I’m always amazed that fact that ALL North America looks in the same standards. From snow Canada to sunny Cali or NY. In by and large the same molls the same stores the same cars and the same streets

[@klel68]

I lived in both Calgary and Prince Albert. I was born in Prince Albert and raised in Calgary. I live in Prince Albert right now, I moved back to P.A. 23 years ago. I saw your recent video when you and your dad were walking in central avenue in -40. I was in that area when you were filming that day. Great videos. Keep up the great work.

[@meetworldhome]

I still remember the video that you visited your dad last year. Time flew so fast :)

[@AlinaMcleod]

It has flown fast even with 2020 being a bit nuts!

[@minser7516]

You are blessed with such a loving father.

[@globalbloodstock]

Haha! Your dad’s comments about the courthouse and your further questioning made me laugh.

[@bobby27]

I have a 2 yr old daughter and I hope she will be as caring and loving with her dad when she’ll be your age

[@dncviorel]

That's up to you. The effort you put in raising your children will always be rewarded. I've never seen a loving daughter or son with a parent that didn't invest emotions, time and money when they were young. Trust me on this, if you love your daughter and invest time in being with her, she's going to be fulfilled, will take the right decisions in life, and will love you as much as you loved her for ever and ever. Spread love = Receive love.

[@jimszczodrowski3695]

Digging the hat Alina! Nice to see your Dad is doing well I can relate to the cold temps being here in northern Wisconsin. Stay warm.

[@albusha5150]

Nice to you see you meeting your dad Alina. He seems a nice humbled man.

[@mitchellscott1843]

Saskatoon is beautiful city...reminds me of a smaller version of Edmonton in a sense. ps: I'd love to see you cover more small town Canadian life.

[@AlinaMcleod]

More to come!

[@oilerguy5494]

Yeah it’s becoming more like Edmonton in recent years

[@austinporter6701]

Right such a bad place to live break and enterings happening in neighbourhoods where it never has and my damn car gets broken into about every 2 to 3 months DONT MOVE HERE

[@ZenWithKen]

I call Saskatoon little Edmonton, lol.

[@richardasp6028]

So well done Alina...Saskatchewan in the winter is tough where Saskatoon can often be in the the minus 30s...Your father looks so much at home...Your future as a travel blogger continues to be stellar...Look forward to each and every new post...🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦...

[@MrBassrazz]

Love ToonTown! Many memories of playing music at Bud's on Broadway and exploring the many local shops. Great music choices for this vid. Enjoy the deep freeze 🌡temperatures.🥶

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you!

[@George_K1]

It is so wonderful to have your great dad in the videos

[@huboftruthbymichael1921]

Great start of your visit with your Dad, and I am impressed again of your music choices in all your areas of this video. Superstore looks like my kind of place, I like the idea of having one place where you can get anything you need. Keep warm there, and enjoy your time with Dad, looking forward to more of your visit to this area where you spent a lot of your growing up time. Keep smiling!! Cheers!!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thanks, Michael! Superstore is a must!

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Great job, Alina! This week is Valentine's Day, Lunar New Year 2021 and Family Day!

[@carlosavendano8402]

I would say that it has been a nice video, thank you for sharing your family, they will always be the greatest treasure in Life ✌️💜

[@bayareapianist]

Last night I checked the weather for Saskatoon. It was -40C 🥶☃️❄ Then I thought you were going to show us your home town in winter. Here you go 😁

[@1Rene9Night5cart0]

Sorry you had to go through that quarantine insanity, but happy you were able to see your Mom and now Dad. Beautiful fur hat on a Beautiful Lady! Thanks for the tour of Saskatoon ... wonderful video and music, as usual.

[@mohamedakhsassi5137]

love your videos . simple and on point

[@motogenerationx5480]

Happy for you...meeting your dad

[@raho2005]

Yeah, more vids, can't get enough of Canada! And your Dad of course.

[@s.m6141]

Nice video I really like it . Your father is really an amazing man with a great amount of adventure. Really appreciate you guys. I love the way that you nailed it. Subscribed your amazing channel.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you very much!

[@timsummers870]

NICE Alina! I remember the last video you shot with your dad, you were on the property where you grew up, maybe it was about a year ago but I'm not sure. You said at the end of the video you'd make more video in some small towns in Saskatchewan, I can't wait to see that! The Indian food looked yummy, it looked like it was food for three people but if I ever go there with someone else, I'm sure there won't be any leftovers. All the best to you and your dad. Make sure you make him some company and don't waste too much time online. He'll appreciate it. I wish my dad was still around.

[@simonbourgeois5988]

That was a nice tour of S'toon, Alina . Your father is very genuine. His secrets about ''Wish'' shopping made me smile :-)

[@wayneborgerson8935]

Good Job!! Like the accompanying soundtrack as well!

[@vanya757]

I love the witty banter between you and your Dad. Great video.

[@lalajan2000]

I like when your dad said 300+ jacket and he bought it for 30 , and you said I highly doubt that...haha...

[@laineslowski]

I always get excited for videos that feature your dad, lol. He's such a character!

[@cathygillies7271]

Nice video with your Dad. I passed through Saskatoon years ago and my brother-in-law is from Humboldt. Your music and commentary are always well put together. During these Covid times -- it is a treat to see more of our beautiful country. Stay well and keep smiling!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you very much!

[@jerryaschenbrenner712]

I’m always pleased to see you visiting with both your Mom & Dad. I’m sure as their only child, they each spend a lot of time being concerned about you while travelling and are so relieved to have you back home. Enjoy your time with them.

[@tfuntowatch]

Where is her mom? She is not in the video.

[@sajibdas9633]

The places you choose to go are always truly breathtaking. And you probably have heard this countless times, but you look simply stunning and naturally soft. Keep posting. ♥♥

[@prakashkeluskar1047]

Awesome video that's great, convey my regards to dad, happy valentine day Alina

[@kenm.3761]

Alina, always look forward to a new video, fun to see you with your father again. Stay safe.

[@grantfahlman1815]

Yep, no doubt about it, your Dad is a true Saskatchewan boy. Almost a twin for my Dad. That we can be very proud of!

[@daviddodds1809]

So good to see your beauty and smile peeking out of the furry cap.❣️❣️ Great feeling for you to be able to enjoy a special time with your dad. I'll be waiting for your next videos to watch. Love 💗💗😘 to you my dear. Keep warm and safe.

[@Flavor88]

Have fun and enjoy the time with your parents!

[@TrevSligo]

Another lovely video Alina. I've greatly enjoyed all your Eastern Europe vids. But I really love your reaction to the very tight parking at 13:45. Half an hour home and you are already back talking Canadian!!

[@robertmoshenek8809]

Your dad is a good man thank you so much.

[@Rio-by1eh]

Great sounds - so SPOT ON

[@kylecarter9862]

I just stumbled upon your channel the other day, but I'm happy to see that you're headed back to small town Sask! These days I've been really missing my family out by Rabbit Lake and Mayfair, and watching your video of Hafford made me feel like I was back at the family farm for a moment.

[@kanthonyj6372]

🌷👌 Another nice vlog. Canada is a beautiful country and the place you visited in this vlog is very beautiful. Snowy, clean, peaceful and a stunning 👍place. Awaiting for more such stuff from you 😃🌷👌

[@libork8106]

Great video, great father, ... people like that you will never forget.

[@IvansBikesBmws]

Amazing! Love your videos!

[@ShigeruWakita]

Nice to see your Dad again on the video. He looked so happy to be with you!!! You as well, Alina:) By the way you walk so fast even on icy surface road, haha. Enjoy your stay there!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Haha thank you!

[@francisclaudio4991]

I visited Saskatoon 7 years ago. Beautiful city. I like the river. I can only imagine the snow. A visitor from the Philippines like me who lives in the tropics, your winter is such an experience. I like it though.

[@delontereid7584]

I enjoyed the daughter-dad vlog, and your Dad seems very nice. Your hat is very stylish too 😁

[@ridettefernandez4467]

I really feel it is like Christmas,just watching your videos.thank you so much...

[@GustavoMdMc]

funny video with the country music 🙂 and with the dad in a country style city town, gives warm family vibes

[@j.wikstrom2308]

Hi Alina😊 Great to see your journey to your father also, hope you have a good time together😊 have a nice day & as always take care🤗🤗🤗

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you!

Hi Alina...Hello from Albania...It was a great pleasure having you in our country...God bless you and your family...

[@nature_photography_yukon]

So good that you got to see your dad again. Thanks for showing us around Saskatoon. Lived 5 hours south of there in Manitoba. Now in the Yukon. Look forward to seeing more videos :)

[@bra-z9367]

Congratulations on the videos and the travel channel that shows the beautiful landscapes of Canada, especially this region. A hug from the South of Brazil.

[@janellek21]

I'm glad you had a great visit with your dad! Thanks for the tour of Saskatoon - brought back memories. And thank God you didn't eat at Taunte Maria's!

[@theboyswithcharm]

It’s so nice to see that you are reunited with your Dad... hugs and kisses to you guys.. we’re currently living at Saskatoon as well

[@janusngo]

Thank you for the virtual tour of saskatoon, this makes me miss canada >_

[@goxsha791]

Looks like snow dosen't melt up there. We are near Denver and think I like melted snow more. Nice video, your dad is kewl dude.

[@robertshaw2602]

So happy for you Alina to be with your lovely father after so long. You looked nice and warm as well all rugged up. Cant imagine how cold it is there living in Australia. Your meal with your dad looked nice and its always enjoyable with good company. Great soundtrack as well. Thanks for your video and best wishes to you both

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you!

[@anshu89]

Your dad is adorable 😘🥰💕

[@stanbeeman9636]

I love how you casually say the f-word around your dad, something I would be way to scared to do. "You wanna run that by me again son"?

[@goldenboyi1989]

I feel cold and shivering just watching this Video.Reminds me so much of Winnipeg and the Frigid temps and people walking like zombies in the cold downtown -feeling the cold and just surviving in the Tundra of the west

[@stringbeanpc]

Alina, welcome home to cold Saskatchewan. Last time I was in Saskatoon was early 2015. Greetings from Moose Jaw. Love to watch your videos of world travel. Best Wishes

[@angelaperrin5909]

Awww your dad is really sweet. I consider Saskatoon home and absolutely love that city and miss it soo much. Enjoyed walking down Broadway with you.Calories was my favorite for many years!!

[@AlinaMcleod]

It’s a great city 🙂

[@stevie_M]

Hi I’ve recently joined the channel, great video, thank you 🙏

[@1SeanBond]

Hahaha that's awesome you are home! Yeahhhhh! So Happy 4 you! & It sure is a different place then when you left! I can't believe you are back! Appreciate you Alina! and to see Saskatchewan again from your Fantastic lens! Lol so cool Luv&Peace Cheers Sean.

Thank you!

Lovely daughter..Lucky father..Dear friend Alina really I loved this video. Have a blissful life. Thanks for shariong.- Raja from India

[@jonathanweiss6313]

Alina, Visiting your mom and dad's video was great thanks for sharing! I remember both of last year's videos off to the side here on my laptop screen! Man time flies by quickly! LOL Even though to me seems so long ago in my real struggle and organic farm tragedy! Wish my highway looked like your streets sand spread for winter weather events! Nothing applied as public safety issues and ignorant people in my state, county, city! I have never been to that region before but I have been to Canada before years ago! May return someday on a future vacation! Be safe!

[@TheSam808]

Nice video Alina

[@khecke]

Thank you Alina, to meet your dad this way. In all my years in the US, I went to Canada only few times - and only in summer.

[@THE_ORIGINAL_I-SEARCHdotFUN]

Even with bye; your Dad didn't miss a beat. You Miss Lady; have treasures, many of us only wonder about. Congrats. Love your Dad.

[@graemedalgleish8944]

Good morning, I would like to say I follow your video because you speak of places I know. I grew up near Kinistino and have lived in Saskatoon.

god bless you're dad , great content

[@gediminasmurauskas7817]

Hi Alina! Fabulous memories! I loved the tour of Saskatoon - my home for 3 years decades ago, and my first home away from my birthplace, Montréal. I lived just north of the U of S campus on Osler Street. I miss Broadway, walking downtown aross the bridges - during the non-winter months, especially. I've been back to Saskatoon only once since graduating. Your video made me feel like I was coming home again! Thanks!!! It was nice to see your dad again. Welcome back to your Saskatchewan home, Alina!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Glad you enjoyed Saskatoon as well!

[@gediminasmurauskas7817]

@@AlinaMcleod I loved my time in Saskatoon, as well as my discovery road trips with friends throughout central Saskatchewan and northern Alberta. But winters could be brutal, like the polar vortex we are now experiencing. One year, we had overnight lows below -40C (-40F) from New Year’s Day to mid-February. I have loads of great memories from Saskatoon! Not having a car, I walked many kilometers on both sides of the South Saskatchewan River.

I am from Regjna and I absolutely loved the Dad & daughter moments😊

I've been to Saskatoon once that was to attend a Farm Writers' conference at the University of Saskatchewan back in the late 90s. Had some interesting tours of the research facilities to see the work they were doing at the time.

Warmers my heart, that A. You're back home safe. B your first priorities wer your parents. Be well Alina. So much love and respect from Vancouver

[@markboehme]

New sub here. Stumbled on your channel when learning about life in Ukraine, and now I’m learning all about Saskatchewan. (A buddy of mine claims Alberta is the coldest place in Canada, but since moving to NYC I think he’s gone soft) Wherever you go, you seem to find joy, fun and look for interesting things to see and do. Thanks for taking us along! Loved meeting your Dad too. Reminds me of my grandfather who was a dairy farmer. Wishing you the very best for 2021!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you very much!

[@senorromantico7723]

Lovely channel. I saw that you were in Sarandë recently, I hope you go back sometime in the summer. It is fantastic :) I travel there every year except this year due to this covid madness.

Oh my Goodness. Dad cracking the whip with sharp funny worlds and cracking me up with them. Like "Everybody changes but our Kids". How many times have everyone of us been told that. Alina? You and your family are real people.
