my tribute to Jasper NP in Canada | Solo to Alaska in a Subaru Forester XT
Due to the issue with my Subaru Forester XT, in this episode of my solo female travel vlog to Alaska, I spent a few days in Jasper National Park - kayak on Lake Maligne, hike near Columbia Icefield (Wilcox Pass) and observe Canada Day in the town of Jasper.
For my own safety and due to the lack of time and internet connection while traveling from the East Coast all the way to Alaska, I post videos with a delay.

    As a male, who has a wife and 2 daughters. You have brought quite a few things to my realization that I have often over looked. Actually have been frustrated with my girls about things they do while traveling. I want to make a better effort to help them make safer choices while being out and about especially while traveling. Thank you for opening my eyes to some of those things. You are a smart and courageous woman. Props to you for doing the things you do. Great choice on cars too! I've never owned a Subaru but it's a car I'm considering as my next vehicle. Be safe and thanks for sharing your travels with us. Charles ✌️

    Great to see another video from you - your videos are so full of the wonders of the places you visit, you really bring out the beauty of these remote places! Your mix of the Canada Days speech and the monotonous task of doing laundry and waiting for each stage was clever and worked so well, it gave the mayor's words more gravitas. Sorry to hear such a beautiful place has been struck by wildfires - given how hardy the residents must be to handle the winters, I'm sure they'll handle the rebuilding needed, though it's a great shame that they have to and a great shame all of the damage to the natural environment which will revive itself more slowly I hope your wheel bearings replacement went well and that will be the last issue you have holding you back from getting to Alaska

    Was here for the Subaru, but I can absolutely connect to what you are saying about the desert, I have been in the Sahara, it's magical and difficult to describe, but the silence, the stars, it's almost like you could hear the stars, I grew up and live in Germany, so most places are densely populated, I like living here, I like the forests, the green meadows all that, but sometimes there is a part of me which is longing for the desert, it's special. Do you know Edward Abbey Desert Solitaire? If not you could like it, great book. Wish you all the best.

    I don’t like buying cars over a certain year but I wouldn’t mind buying anything around the 2005- 2008 model years. my limit for year of cars is 2005 but it’s getting harder and harder to find cars (especially a forester) in good condition for that year so I’m looking into getting an 08 and with a manual transmission. Those are the best ones in my opinion. Love your videos by the way… glad I came across your channel

    • @ashaslaw
      @ashaslaw Месяц назад

      Yes, unfortunately older Subarus did not have a good corrosion protection, so it is more and more difficult to find a clean one. If you get a chance to buy 08 Forester with manual transmission, don’t think twice - I genuinely think this was the best generation of Foresters. I don’t know where you are planning to drive it but I’m in Alaska now and most of the Subarus on roads here are those older Foresters which tells a lot about how reliable they are. Good luck! Oh - and thank you so much for your comment! I’m really happy that you enjoy watching my videos :)

    Hi, your video is great! I wanted to know how your Forester has behaved... Have you had any problems with it? Would you recommend the same year Forester or a more modern one? Have you been able to get to all the places with the Forester or would you recommend a 4x4 all-terrain vehicle? Greetings from Chile

    • @ashaslaw
      @ashaslaw Месяц назад

      Hi, I’ve been traveling in my Forester for 2 years now (crossed the US 4 times and drove to Alaska through Canada) and only recently had a minor issue with it. I would totally recommend this car - it’s reliable and spacious. I think it’s powerful enought to get anywhere - the only limitation is its height. I posted a whole video about pros and cons of this car - you may find more answers there.

This is my favorite video so far, not only for the amazing scenery but you recorded ravens and I love ravens! They can make some really weird noises if you hang around them enough and they are so so so much bigger than their cousins, crows. Keep up the great content and hopefully that noise was just a wheel bearing starting to go bad.
