  1. I’m surprised you both have not gone to French Polynesia…my wife and I love it there. Moorea is the absolute best! We would love to see you both Vlog Tahiti ….if you do you must eat at Rudy’s in Moorea! Love your channel ….. you both are great!

  2. Merry Christmas from me in Melbourne, to you both. I love watching your videos. So relaxed and informative. It's a pleasure to watch how natural you are. Hard work i know. All the best🎉

  3. Hey Guys…..I did suggest on your live stream a few months ago, Margaret River and the SW of W.A. Well, fun fact, Jetstar fly from Melbourne direct to Busselton…which is the Gateway to the Margaret River region !! Also, for comparison, as you did Fiji and Vanuatu in the Pacific, how about comparing them to Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. ?? Air Mauritius do daily flights to Port Louis…..around 7 1/2 hours…..do your research and see if it is something worth going for. I think you would both love it !!!

  4. Totally agree, The top five on our list as well. It's been a wonderful year with you guys. Looking forward to 2025 . Great Guides from nice people.❤❤ That's Dane and Stace
    Got a question for you guys ? Would you consider the US on your list for 2025 ? Maybe through a sponsorship. Hope you guys are doing ok. Want to wish you a Happy and Fun
    Holiday Season ! , ! to you and your family! 🎄🎄🎅🎅🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺 from Harriet, Jim and Yuki

  5. We went to Japan Oct 23, Tokyo, Kanazawa, Kyoto and Hakone, sadly for us we were disappointed by Kyoto we found it much busier than Tokyo, it was such a struggle to escape the crowds. Would love to go back to Japan but to quieter locations.

  6. We went to Japan Oct 23, Tokyo, Kanazawa, Kyoto and Hakone, sadly for us we were disappointed by Kyoto we found it much busier than Tokyo, it was such a struggle to escape the crowds. Would love to go back to Japan but to quieter locations. We are off in 3 weeks to Hanoi, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City really looking forward to it – thanks for your videos x

  7. USA!!! You guys would love Portland, Maine. Arcadia state park, white mountains, New Hampshire, would be epic to see you guys explore it in autumn! I’m a kiwi living in Maine and it will always be my favorite place in the world! Love your videos, would also love to see more NZ trips!

  8. Thanks Guys for another year of brilliant vids. Wishing you both a good break over the Christmas period with your families. Cheers!

  9. Kuala Lumpur must have been #6…. so I wont start a riot lol
    When you make these "list based videos" and pull clips from previous vlogs, are you going into the FCP vlog timelines or do you have one FCP timeline where all your best clips are graded & ready to go because you know you'll use them often?

  10. Totally fabulous! Some more great suggestions! Love you two! Love from Oz ..( yep, I love Hoi An, and Vanuatu! ) the rest are still on my bucket list! Xx

  11. Would love to see you go to French Polynesia. We went there for our honeymoon over 35 years ago and would love to see how things look now. We stayed a week on Moorea and a week on Bora Bora (in an over water bungalow, as Stacey would say – 'Amazing!'

  12. You been to some amazing places can see 2025 be an even more adventurous one 😜
    You planning an other Trip with your Dad again Stacey ? Just remember his joy on his face when you took him
    To place of memory and the extra wild life boat trip .
    Hope your Both doing well Wishing all the very Best for 2025 🍾🥂🎆

  13. I just want to tell you guys, that I adore your content. I’m spending my New Year’s Eve watching your videos and let me tell you I’m not mad AT ALL. I admire your dedication and your honest reviews. Hope this New Year brings a lot of travel and blessings. Here's a fan from Puerto Rico!! 😊

  14. I would recommend that you visit South Africa. You would absolutely love it. If I may give some advice don't only visit Cape Town but go more inland and stay at a Private Game Lodge. The experience of being in the Bushveld is just amazing! Stuff like sundowners on a game drive and sitting around a boma fire is food for your soul.

  15. Have just come back from three weeks in NZ and also loved Queenstown. Very very touristy but I am increasingly of the view that places are touristy for a reason – because they’re usually totally worth visiting. Queenstown is beautiful. Even if you did nothing in Queenstown other than rent an Airbnb with a big window at the front and sit and look out over the lake and mountain view, it would be worth it!
