    A little tip on furnitures. Don’t go to the big stores and buy cheaply made furniture for a lot of money. Value Village, and other trif store have better quality for less. My parents got a very unique and handcrafted 4 pieces bedroom set for less than 1000.

    Very informative vlog. I thought a job offer was required before moving. Also, that vehicle is huge! Lol. In the first vlog when you guys picked it up at the airport, I was like WOAH!
    RE: the credit cards, they're a "necessary evil" in the US, CAN etc. because of this whole credit score system. I know people have them in the Caribbean but the credit score system isn't a big thing.

    • @lynnellb
      @lynnellb  Před 10 dny

      There are pathways where having a job gets you in but that wasn’t the case for the pathway we chose.
      So right about the credit system: a necessary evil. But by God’s grace we will be using it to our advantage. lol

      Carmex is on the to buy list ASAP. Haha.
      Also you’re allowed to not have car seats once you’re renting for less than 2/3 weeks. But we already got for our car. Thanks for looking out. Appreciate it!

    • @ibrahim6960
      @ibrahim6960 Před 15 dny

      lol some people are not aware, but it may also just be an Alberta law. Because it was not the same in New York we had to rent car seats then as you see in the travel to Africa vlog.
      It was also nice not having to pay to rent the car seats for over a week when we were going to buy our own in a few days anyways. PS: I had put the link to the government website but you tube deleted it. Just search occupant restraint laws Alberta and check the exemptions.
