Patreon Only - Packing!!! Panicking!!

We are two days from the 5 month mark as I watch this 😥. It's amazing how much has the world changed since you made this! It wouldbe interesting to know how much of what you packed have you actually worn?🤔

Hi Alanna,I am a big fan of your work,just want to wish you the best of luck

Jason Weight

Thank you!!

Dammit!! How we hate bureaucracy! So, our unending, loyal support is a given here, now for some practical advice: 1) You are not limited to one bag! Pack your Florida stuff into a large package and post it to your parents house. Then you can collect it when you get there and have it in time for Florida. 2) I take it that The Butler God is staying here (poor Butler, a moment of silence for his loneliness). He can post stuff out to you as you need it, or you can post stuff back as you're done with it. Sweater season over? Package it all back home! 3) You have a sister, a Mum, and many friends in Ontario. If you're going somewhere fancy, or need an extra sweater, I'm sure they'll lend it to you. 4) So many similar clothes? Do you really need that many pairs of black jeans with you? They have great big washing machines in Canada and I'm sure you're going to be using them, so cut back on duplicates. 5) Most importantly: You've got this girl! It's a pain, but it's going to be fine. You get to visit with your folks, catch up with your friends, top up that tan, and come back to us with a bag full of new stories and content for us. Bon Voyage!

You got a lot of me today. "where will I set up my camera? Do it out side, girl. Let us see Canada, in the wild, and sunny Florida, film sitting on the beach. You are talented and adventurous, I am certain you will find a great ideal to please us all.

Sorry about the mistakes, but I was angry. Great video though, loved it and you. Take care and kind regards.

Shit !!! I know you appear to love the UK. I do, it my home and place of birth. Born in Devon, but my heart is in Wale. But sometimes it sucks!!! Bureaucracy, (I had trouble spelling that word), Bureaucracy, meaning; ' rule by desk' and often meaning 'impersonal'. What about your Job, have you lost it? and your boyfriend, is he going to Canada with you, or are you live 5/6 mouths apart? You have given this country 4 years of your life, commitment and paid your taxes and we tell you to sod off and apply again! That's what I mean by it sucks! I have grown to love you and I have learned so much from you. Your life, your attitude, you gave me hope in our young generation. All I can say is I'm sorry we have so much red tape. Why couldn't you renew while you were here and why do we send you back to Canada to renew. I wish sometimes I was in elected government, These things wont happen, look at EU citizens, now we have a points system! Who is going to pick the strawberry's this year, we brits don't want the job. Sorry to go on, but my government has made me sooooooo, angry over you visa application, it sucks!!! Go luck in being able to return to the UK and enjoy your reunion with your family and friends in Canada and the USA. Don't leave us too long and come back so.

I had to use it a couple of years back to fit tees in my old chest of drawers. It worked to a point. (I'm lazy and didn't do it properly) but it definitely saved a bit of space.

Don’t take too long we will miss you

Stephanie Davis

I'm sorry your visa application hasn't gone to plan. Panic packing, I think I pack the same way. Welcome back to Ontario -it's warm and sunny on my end and I hope you are greeted with the same weather. Enjoy your first taste of Timmy's and Roll Up the Rim should be starting soon.

jillian b

Don’t panic! Bad packing is just a good excuse for shopping. 😉 And you will have your visa in no time!

Holger Steinwedel

I'm sure there will be loads of reverse culture shock, that's for sure!!

Adventures and Naps

Thank you Lee, at least we'll get lots of Canada content for a bit!

Adventures and Naps

Cheers Graham!!

Adventures and Naps

Thanks so much Adam! I'm still planning to do Murder Friends, but I can't pack my podcast microphone so I'll need to buy a new one there - hopefully I can do that quickly so we can get back to recording!

Adventures and Naps

Cheers Stewie, that means a lot!!

Adventures and Naps

Thank you Peter, you're too kind!!!

Adventures and Naps

Fingers crossed it all works out!

Adventures and Naps

Thank you so much Sarah - I'm excited to see the sun again for a bit :)

Adventures and Naps

Thanks so much Shaun! I'll need to start a big list of Canada content ideas lol!

Adventures and Naps

I've always wanted to try those! And of course, it's too late! Maybe next time I'll plan a bit better..

Adventures and Naps

Thank you so much Stephen!! Maybe a video on the whole process at the end would be fun :) (as long as it's a good result!!) Can't wait to show you guys more of Canada!

Adventures and Naps

Thanks Andy, really appreciate it!

Adventures and Naps

That's a great point, thank you!!

Adventures and Naps

Davids seem to be notoriously too kind!! Unfortunately no Irish or British Grandparents - all my British heritage is one generation too far removed!

Adventures and Naps

I'm hoping that I'll be rehired, but we'll see!

Adventures and Naps

Does the roll really work?? I've always wanted to try it but it seems like it's the same as standard packing!

Adventures and Naps

Thanks Simon!! I usually focus on packing the stuff I can't live without - and everything else that fits is a bonus!

Adventures and Naps

That's a good question!! I'll try to film!

Adventures and Naps

I thought you might be interested..

Adventures and Naps

It's one thing to go home and visit for a bit, but living there for a few months will probably be different. As an ex-pat, it may be interesting to talk about that readjustment for people returning from abroad. Hopefully your exile back to Canada will end quickly and you can return to merry ole England. Wishing you the best Alanna.

The Raven

So sorry to hear about your visa problems...I really hope it goes well for you and you are back here as soon as possible...enjoy your time back in Canada with your friends and family

Lee Fergusson

Fingers crossed for the visa.

Graham Lavers

Oh this sucks Alanna! Is it due to Brexit and all the attending crap that comes with that ridiculous decision? I hope that you are given a visa to come back and that you can slot back into the comfort zone easily. Enjoy the time with your family, it has to be a huge bonus for both sides. We will all be here and still supporting you and watching whatever you put out. Will you still be doing Murder Friends too?

Adam Clark

I'll be doing similar. I was likewise sorry to hear about this upheaval and hope that things come together for Alanna. A, can't you find an Irish grandparent or something?

David O

I hope you didnt panic too much and i hope you managed to take everything you needed/wanted to take. And as for your visa back to england i really hope you get it accepted. England is a better place with you in it. I will keep my figures crossed for you 🤞🤞

Stewie Whittaker

It's rotten that you're being forced into this but think of the positives, an extended holiday and most importantly getting to see your family. Wishing you all luck I can give and I've upped my Patreon sub for you. Looking forward to your next video. Byeeeee for now.

Peter Coombe

My heart is bleeding to see you like that.

PaulDeBaene

I’m sorry this is happening this way, I hope you enjoy the chance to see family and friends you haven’t seen in a long time and that your tan looks perfect.

Sarah Hogg

Good luck with the visa, didn’t realise it was necessary to leave the country for so long. Hope it gets sorted as quickly as possible. Will be good to see some Canadian themed videos though, cultural comparisons and definitely some Canadian food.

Shaun Garratt

You need some vacuum bags, not the bags you put in vacuum cleaners, plastic bags that seal then you suck all the air out with a vacuum cleaner, you will easily get twice as much in your suitcase.

Arthur Gatward

Hi, Alanna, please dont be scared all your friends and subscribers here are fully behind you and supporting you. I have so many questions. Did you have to do this before when you renewed your Visa? What has happened to your job? How much does this Visa cost? When can you apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain? I have increased my Patreon sub to the highest level to help. Your mum and dad will be pleased to see you. Please show us some snow, never seem to get any here. Looking forward to your next video soon.

Stephen Parker

Safe travels Alanna. I hope that the visa issues get solved quickly

Andy Arnold

Good luck with the visa - hope it gets sorted out quickly! For video ideas, you could revisit some of your older videos but from the Canadian side of things - e.g. "What's In My Kitchen | Living In Canada", maybe?

Colin Barrow

David

Will your employer rehire you when your new visa is issued? What a difficult situation to be in. 🇬🇧🇨🇦

Steve Mikre

You should military roll your clothes, double the amount of clothes you probably won't wear to take with you. xD

Mohegan13

I hope the visa goes smoothly. Was about to give packing advice and then realized it will be too late. But from experience you will have forgotten things and it won't matter as much as you feared it would.

Simon

I’d like a vlog of your flight to Canada and when you land. What’s it like going through controls in Canada for a Canadian. Do u have your own que like we do here?

Si Winstanley

canadian cooking vids could be cool tho

Tom

well thats too bad:(

Tom
