We are very happy to welcome baby Ava into our lives. In 2026, we bought a house, and had a child! It's been a big year for us.

Over the next few months, we will begin renovating our new house, which we bought in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. We are leaving Toronto, due to affordability issues.

It's going to be a hectic time with 2 daughters under the age of 2, and 2000kms between our new house and our old life but, we will be ready to move in sometime in the autumn.

In this video, we begin renovating the master bedroom. We have an idea for a total closet overhaul, which is why we began the demolition on the old one.

We installed hardwood floors in the master bedroom, and insulated the basement-- directly beneath our new floors. Many people told us about the cold winters in Nova Scotia, so we are keen to upgrade our insulation.

One of the surprises of the video is just how friendly our neighbours are. It's sort of unbelievable. We feel grateful to have been welcomed into our little community so graciously. The rumours of the friendliness of East Coast Canadians are seemingly 100% true!

HARSH REALITY of buying a fixer upper in Canadas East Coast (leaving Toronto)

$We discovered COWBOY WALMART in Texas, U.S.A Ive heard people say America has no culture. Coudnt disagree more. First: Ive been in the middle-of-nowhere in Asia and seen Michael Jordan jerseys & Post Malones music. Americas pop culture dominates the world. Second: America has many cultures. Amish culture, Hispanic culture, hip-hip culture, needless to say the crown jewel amongst them is COWBOY CULTURE. (Sure, Americas cultures arent milleniums old but you can see dozens of cultures while RVing around this country. Its the best place for a longterm roadtrip, I think) What makes cowboys so great? To me, its what makes skateboarders so great. Its self taught & dangerous. Its visually awesome and sort of counter-culture. Riding a bucking bull and grinding the handrail on a 15 set might appear wildly different at first glace, but I feel theyre pretty similar. Not to mention both skateboarding and cowboying have, what I would call, posers. (for instance, me!) Now: my dressing-like-a-skater-while-never-ever-not-once-ever-jumping-down-staircases days are behind me BUUUT, are my dressing-like-a-cowboy-while-not-knowing-what-end-of-the-horse-to-ride days about to begin? I decided to go to Cowboy Capital of U.S.A to find out: TEXAS! We started our journey at the Old Stockyards in Forth Worth. What a great place. Country music, photo-ops with longhorns, BIG TRUCKS, you name it. Theres people all around, young & old, wearing cowboy boots and hats. Its almost like a caricature of what someone whos never been to Texas thinks Texas is like. What a great place. (Ivana mentioned that it almost felt like a Taylor Swift concert, but I am a married man and did not notice any of the dozens of cowgirls out for a night on the town with their friends. Although I will mention for th 10838 time that Ivana neeEDS TO BUY A COWBOY HATT!) (Although, I didnt buy a hat either, so I have no leg to stand on. Maybe when we start our Dallas Cowboys trip.) In the Stockyards, we saw a rodeo. I sort of wish we saw a bucking bull with a cowboy on the back only wearing a cowboy hat but they all wear helmets nowadays, and I get it. It had to happen. Everybody wants to see a cowboy-hat-only rider until their head gets stomped by a bull. Still a great performance and I will give a shoutout to the ladies running on horseback around barrels. Surprisingly great to watch. Now: our plan was to go to The Worlds Largest Honky Tonk, and we dont even really know what that is. Unfortunately there was a concert in town and it so no honky tonk for us. BUUT, this led to a great memory of our cowboy experience. We found a store called NRS - National Roping Supply. This is where real life cowboys get their horse-stuff. Its basically Cowboy Walmart and it was awesome. The store is huge and full of whatchamacallits and thingadings. Countless items that we had a vague sense of what they might be for, and typically handcrafted and intricate, and beautiful! We met Ezra whos a real life cowboy and he showed us how to steam hats to make all the differnt indents in the top. His had was a 200x Stetson made from beaver that probably cost 600 bucks or so. When he walked his boots made a noise on the floor that sounded cool. My shoes dont make that noise. I felt jealous. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - My whole life I wanted to be a cowboy 00:37 - RODEO CLIPS 1:39 - Shoutout to all the real cowboys out there 3:58 - OPINION: Cowboying is like skateboarding 5:07 - 50 USD cowboy hat or 60 USD cow hide carpet 6:50 - Live music at the LOVE SHACK! (R.I.P Brad Hines) 7:59 - BIG TRUCKS & Swifites is a good party 8:40 - The Cattle Drive is overrated and lame 10:19 - WE DISCOVERED COWBOY WALMART 13:38 - The story of the American Cowboy 15:26 - I MET A REAL COWBOY 21:57 - I cannot afford to be a cowboy (EXPENSIVE STUFF) 27:03 - BABY JEAN SO CUTE! ▶︎ BEST eSIM we use for our travels: https://holafly.sjv.io/o4v9gb, and use code JETLAGHOLA5 for 5% OFF Music: Music: Not Too Cray - Huma-Huma • Not Too Cray – Huma-Huma (No Copyrigh...
