Hi! I'm a Chinese-Canadian gal from Vancouver with a love for travel, storytelling, and videography. Here you'll find a mix of the urban and the natural - whether it's somewhere local in British Columbia (Canada) or places a bit further away. Sometimes I travel solo.

I also love penguins and bubble tea. 🐧🧋

    Hi! I don't know if you still check comments for this video (I hope so), but do you know how the process would differ for temporary residents? I'm a Brazilian living in Canada under an open work permit and I was wondering if that affects much. Would bringing a copy of my permit instead of a PR be enough?

    Hi, great video series. Did you find it difficult arranging all the bus rides in this video? Do you mainly rely on Google Maps? How was the cost for the buses or did you rely on JR owned buses only?

    My wife and I visited Montreal and Quebec about a decade ago. We loved our time in Montreal especially. Another site that is worth visiting there is the Montreal Botanical Garders, very lovely and peaceful in the summertime.

    Bit of a late reply. Firstly, THANK you for mentioning the Fireworks Display. It is one of Montreal's gems, and it seems that so many people miss it, probably because it's just during one small period of summer. And yep, there's a bit of a common misunderstanding for people who are looking for the Underground City. "Underground City" is a very informal name for what is essentially a collection of subterranean malls, office building basements and the public transit system being interconnected by pedestrian tunnels. That's why there's no real signage for it. So for any prospective tourists looking to find it, the best approach is not to look for the "Underground City" but instead something you know is there, such as the "Eaton Center" or "The Bay" which can get you there. You can also access it from some of the downtown Montreal metro stations such as McGill.

    Thanks Daphne. As a Montrealer in my seventh decade, I can attest to how excellently you captured a range of places centuries old to the most recent. (I was hoping you would get to Crew Café, as you did.). My past homes in Old Montreal and two in the Plateau all appeared. Your focus on food showed not only great selection but also impressive depth. Bravo. I will look view your other videos with confidence and interest.

    I'm from Montreal, and you make me want to do day-excursions in the city like you did! You're a great traveller (best attitude) AND film it in a way that makes it very appealing. Great choice for your background music too! I'm glad you enjoyed the city, it was a pleasure having you. 🥰🥰🥰 P.S. I didn't know about that cinema place! TIL

    Another floggers perspective of Hanoi 🙂 I would say referring to the war here will always be in my opinion the “American War” and NOT Vietnam war!! Another interference attack to take control? But lost like so many other foreign invasions 😢. Anyway enjoy this beautiful country and all its culture, foods, natural wonders etc but remember to visit again as you will probably only ever see what most western people visit and film. Living here will always give you better food experiences than what many people try. But I can always say that you got to have fun in the short time most people have… Enjoy the rest of your time here in this amazing safe friendly Country.. 🙏🏻😊
