Small update from Tirana 🔥

So... that gorgeous mountain view you've all seen in the background of every single video? It's currently on fire. Not dramatically close, but close enough that I'm not about to sit out on the balcony filming in smoke for the sake of a nice shot.

(Everyone's safe here, just smoky — no immediate danger to us.)

So for the next few weeks you'll see a different backdrop while things clear up — and honestly, it's been a while since I did an "on location" video anyway.

So tell me: where in Tirana would you want to see me film? A café, a specific neighbourhood, somewhere touristy, walking tour or somewhere totally random?

Drop your votes in the comments — I might actually use them 😄

Still Holding On? 🎥 …and so is YouTube, apparently. The video’s technically live but stuck in “checking” purgatory, so it’s members-only for now. As soon as it clears, everyone can watch.

When you think about leaving, what's the biggest thing you'd have to deal with first?

I didn't have a house to sell when I left Canada the second time — just some business supplies, a bit of furniture, and a car. Curious what "starting over" logistics look like for you.

Vote below, and drop a comment with what's actually on your list (even if it's not one of the options) — I'm building a video around this.

Taking this week off from uploading — no video this Sunday.
I’ve got scripts I love and ideas I’m excited about. But when I sat down to record, the energy just wasn’t there — and I don't want to give you something half‑hearted.

The newsletter still goes out Monday as usual — if you’re not subscribed yet, you can sign up at canucksabroad.co.

I’ll be back next week with fresh energy to match the ideas I’ve been saving. 🎬

What’s the #1 thing keeping you "stuck" in your country right now?

I left Canada in 2016, tried going back in 2022, and realized by 2025 I had to leave again. I've seen both sides.



Vote below and comment your country—I’m making a video to help troubleshoot these exact hurdles.

Hey everyone! :albania: Summer relocation season is officially here, and I'm putting together some on-the-ground services and group meetups in Tirana to help new arrivals get settled without the stress.

To help me build the right packages for you, which of these would you find the MOST helpful during your first few weeks here? ☕🚕


(P.S. I'm planning a completely FREE group meetup/mall tour soon to kick things off and meet some of you—let me know in the comments if you'd be up for that!)
