Eeeel! One day let's hope so - hopefully it inspires others that they can get out there see the world and push their comfort zones :) thank you for being a consistent watcher appreciate you!
@@erkinalp Amazing! and I did for sure sorry about that - regular uploads now however I am currently experiencing exportation problems so the next install coming asap haah!
Honestly I can't remember but not very good! - they will be transparent about this tho!! you'll probs end up breaking even going out there :) I went without savings and managed fine
as a born and raised Squamish local i just came to say 2 things! NEVER swim in Mamquam falls, google will tell you why and also if you get down closer to the water there is tons of signs saying how dangerous the water is.. and 2, the bears are usually pretty socialized (sadly) and as long as you give them their space they will never bother you and if you’re too close they show lots of warnings before even thinking about attacking you!
Loved this vlog! So cool that these adventures are literally in your neighbourhood😍 and shit! I can’t believe you saw a BEAR 🐻 that is so cool but also so scary😂
Been a ski instructor for 22 years and let me tell you, you're doing fine. Your instructor didn't think anything of it and has considered it a normal part of the learning process if he is worth anything. When other people pick things up quickly it's usually because of cross learnings. Meaning prior experiences have enough similarities that they are starting with certain familiarities with those movement patterns. I always explain it like this; your brain has to build neuro-pathways to do things. It's like the process of going from a dirt path in the woods to a super highway. Day one there's nothing to guide you. Your hacking through the woods with a machete. Then the next time there's the trail you cut last time and the faint outline of a path on the ground. Eventually the path becomes easier to follow and you know the way. Then it turns into a narrow dirt road. After a while longer its a basic paved road. Then after some more time it becomes a wider road capable of transporting more traffic. Then a highway and eventually a large freeway. So those two guys essentially started with dirt paths and all the vegetation hacked back. You were clearing a path for the first time.
Have you had a chance to get your car serviced since this video? Some of those loud bangs sound like they are from loose linkages (to the pedals and gear stick). And no, the video was never pitch dark, the views were awesome.
@@charlotteelizabeth8918 Is this the drive with me video you referred to in your latest pack with me video, or is there another video you have not uploaded yet? Also to ask, what model is your car? Can you make a car tour when you have time?
I’m in the exact same position having never skied before and will be chalet hosting in the alps this winter (but working for a different company)! You are ahead of me getting lessons before you fly out though haha. Best of luck hope you have the best season :))
@@charlotteelizabeth8918 I’m training in Les Menuires with all the other Chalet Hosts/ Chefs in the company for around 10 days. We don’t find out the actual resort we’ll be working in until the end of training then we move there for a week before guests arrive to set up the chalet!! So who knows where I’ll end up haha.
Congratulations! It is a *big deal* to train, run... and complete 13 miles. I've tried vlogging a few of my runs to*see what it is like*. Simple filming and editing, posting etc I've used the Insta360 go2. A tiny and simple - couple of ounces + couple of buttons. Simple transfer to my smartphone and simple editing (You Cut). Rather than have to fiddle around with a smartphone. Anyway happy running and happy vlogging. Best wishes from a rainy Dorset.
Love the ski season videos 🙌🏻 Do you have a UK passport? As I’ve found a lot of ski season jobs have said they don’t take UK passport holders now since brexit :/ So just wondering if you do/how you have gone about it and if it’s affected the process at all xx
Thank you!!! I do have a UK passport, went to get my visa for France yday, VIP help to sort and organise this process. but yes it's harder to find a company that will help with it. My experience has been simple in the sense VIPSKI facilitate it for you! sorry I can't be more help xx maybe just look for companies who will or I know Canada is a fair bit easier to get a visa
If VIP pay for board rental I would recommend doing that rather than buying one. You will be able to get a beginner board and then you can buy some decent snowboard wear. Good luck!
@@charlotteelizabeth8918 I bought my jacket, salopettes and boots from Burton online. The boots have a Boa fastening system and are really comfortable for me. I wouldn’t get lace up ones as although they look good they are a pain to do up. Ideally go to a snowboard shop and get your boots fitted. Believe it or not TK Maxx is a great place to get winter wear and base layers. I bought my helmet and goggles from there first season. Don’t worry about being a beginner. Everyone has to start somewhere. I am still learning and get really frustrated that I am not perfect at it but it takes practice and perseverance. Having a lesson like you did was the best thing as you can successfully stand on a snowboard and are already starting to make turns. I look forward to seeing how you get on for the season.
Girlll I’m training for a half marathon at the moment too and I can relate to so much of this! I’ve gotta get myself some midrun snacks! Keep smashing it! X
