    Thank you so much Jen! You did a great job on this solo video! I knew you could do it. You went to great places. Vancouver and Washington. That’s big! The scenery was Beautiful in both places. Loved the Garden that looked nice. You food in Canada looked good sorry your pizza wasn’t that great. Sorry you didn’t end up feeling well after the bike ride. That was a nice bike ride you took. You did a great job! Can’t wait until the next adventure you go on. I’m there Jen with you all the way! See you soon! Love you Jenn!

    This was a good video. Don't worry about the tripod shots and/or going places you don't want to go. Honestly, seeing flowers doesn't do it for me either. :) The only critique I have is that I would have wanted to know more about the amenities of the hotel you stayed out. The room looked very nice. Stay safe!

    I live on Vancouver Island (Sooke). Seeing the 'touristy' sights through your eyes was so weird. Butchart is a total rip-off (except at Christmas). I wish I'd known in advance that you were visiting, I would have provided a list of better (and cheaper) things to do and see. I'm glad you had an okay time though.

    • @itsjenknowles
      @itsjenknowles  14 дней назад

      Right! It’s so hard when you go to a place for the first time to distinguish between what’s worth doing and what are the overrated touristy spots. I suspected Butchart was gonna be that way and I should have listened to my gut lol

    Good job! Enjoyed the format/length. Still “like” need to cut down more on the “like” repetition of “like” the word “like”. You’re too well spoken to sound like a Jr. High chick from West Hollywood. The “Do what you enjoy, not what’s popular” is the best travel advice. When you’re enjoying yourself, we enjoy watching. Besides to get info, we can always Google.

    Imagine leaving your husband behind to go traveling to in your words " best places you have ever been" while he has to work to support your travels. Then he has to get home and cook his own meals, wash his own clothes, and act like a single guy because his wife has decided to travel the country on her own.
