I know this is so random but THANK YOU for sharing those views from your flight! Those waves of clouds literally made me cry they were so beautiful! OMG
This was so genuinely heartwarming, Gavin. It was so lovely to see you happy with your friends in Melbourne, and just enjoying yourself. Ah, such a brilliant soul. Can't wait to see the Egypt vlog :)
My husband is from Brisbane so I told him I'd be taking notes of places from your video for when we make our own Melbourne trip. So excited to watch your adventures!
Ohhhhh I loved this!! I don’t get to go on a trip for the rest of the year so I felt like I lived vicariously through you. It looks like you had a great time in Australia! Can’t wait to see the Egypt vlog!
This was such fun; I love the gremlin voice you had when you played with your fur babies. I happened to be writing notes and looked up in time to catch that pat of butter next to Butter. You are a hoot, Gavin. 😅
For those of us who can't go abroad right now, this is fantastic! Thank you, Gav, for taking us on your travelling and reading adventures with you! I loved every bit of it!
This vlog was so much fun to watch! Love the outfit on the balcony, you looked fabulous. So happy that you had so much fun there. And omg the stress of the luggage. 🫂 Can't wait to see the rest of your adventures ❤😁
Omg watching this is making me want to go back to Melbourne so bad!!!! Thank you for sharing! I live in the countryside of Australia and try to got to Melbourne and Sydney a few times each year but of all the cities I’ve been to in the world I just have a soft spot for Melbourne 🥰 I need to plan a girls trip with my mumma after her hip replacement 💖✈️
Glad you had a good time, despite the luggage dramas! Weird seeing my city here but even weirder seeing you staying so close to me! I haven’t actually been into some of the bookstores so I’m making a note of them
Okay, finally got the time to watch the video! Gavin, you are the best vlogger!!like the best! This was so good! love all the shots, especially the airplane shots, amazing! and after watching this, i'm realizing that i need a long vacation too, which i can't have for a long time, so watching this veideo was refreshing, mood changing! Thankyouuu! And it was funny seeing so many things going wrong xD so relatable, things always keep going wrong with me too! and that's ALOT OF BOOKS GAVIN! GOODJOB! XD can't wait to watch the EGYPT VLOG! 🙌
It is so great to see you having such a wonderful time. I'm such a homebody but your videos make me want to travel. Looking forward to the Egypt video!
Ahhhh Australia looks so gorgeous! I’m so glad you had a great time there 🥹🥰 that’s so stressful though about your luggage, ugh that’s so unfortunate but I’m glad you got it back eventually!
Just to clear something up - Readings is not a chain/franchise, it’s the largest independent booksellers in Australia, although all of their shops are in Melbourne, first one opened in Carlton over 50 years ago. There’s even one in St Kilda where you were staying. (I’m a children’s bookseller at their Kids shop! 😊) Would’ve been extra cool to see you pick up some Australian literature that you wouldn’t see back home while you were here! Glad you enjoyed your time!
Yooooooo! They had the Vagabond series! I can't even get my hands on book 1😢 i would've come home broooooke! Looks like a lovely trip with lovely folks. Hopefully good outweighed the stress.❤
I'm from Australia and I just sat my last uni exam and was thinking of going on a holiday. A book store and coffee shop tour around Melbourne sounds fun. Might look up flights...
Glad you got to enjoy our delicious coffee! Australia is one of the best places for it. Hope you had a fantastic time!! If you like the beach I recommend checking out the Gold Coast or Byron Bay in NSW, its beautiful and the coffee is to die for haha
So fun seeinng you exploring Melbourne! Been living here since 2018 and it's so nice. Funny thing about the Hill of Content name: They just released a tote bag that says "Is it... Hill of Content or... Hill of Content?" which I love. Hill of Content and Paperback books are so lovely, the CBD Dymocks has a greta selection as well. Coffees are outstanding everywhere, cocktails are great but man they are expensive.
My friend and I want to go to Melbourne now just to do the witchy spinny wheel there lol Also personally when I travel I definitely experience of the panic of my suitcase not closing good so I got into the bad habit of using my backpack as my dirty laundry bag so I could fit more of my purchases into the suitcase. Also in the future you may want to invest in space saving bags, specifically the ones you squeeze all the air out of.
OMG Gavin I got so excited when I saw Flinders Station.😂❤It takes me back to my time as an exchange student. The stopover in Manila was a nightmare. I'm so happy that you had such a blast over there. I assume you're back in the UK by now. I might start reading The Academy of Liars soon although it might be a bit out of my comfort zone as I mostly read books in the horror or thriller genre but I'm intrigued about the dark academia vibes.
omg your baggage being seized reminded me of when i had a layover in china as well and they seized my baggage and took my powerbank! this was close to 8yrs ago but i did tell them i had one when they ask if you have any in the luggage 🤷♀
i'm gonna have the same problem with all the books i've bought here in france when i go back to my country in my defense, i've been here for almost a year lol
Gavin 7/11 here sells products for 3x the price of the grocery store and even the grocery store is going to court under consumer law for price hikes 🤣 Bummer there was no fan meetup but I hope you had fun! (I’m from Sydney).
I'm glad you're home safe and sound. Your Instagram posts were EVERYTHING while you were away. Cooking, serving and eating?! You must be exhausted. 😮💨 I bet the reunion with Ash and Tobu was wonderful. 🥰

"sorry guys it's going to be two videos" TBH I feel like Gimli when he asked Galadriel for one hair and got three. 🤩
ikrrrr
I love this comparison haha
I swear to God, Gavin posts exactly when I need him to. It's like he knows
this looks like you had so much fun
Haha I love how that is my legacy
The pure joy of talking to your cats unfiltered... 🥹it was the cutest moment.....Gavin you deserve so much happiness
I know this is so random but THANK YOU for sharing those views from your flight! Those waves of clouds literally made me cry they were so beautiful! OMG
Your little cat walk on the balcony was flawless.
The fact that you’ve already edited, uploaded and posted this video is INSANE! Can’t wait to watch the whole thing (only 2 seconds in so far😂)
I picked up How To Solve Your Own Murder in my vlog too! Didn’t buy it though so let me know if I should👀
‘Gavin what did you do today?!’😂
This was so genuinely heartwarming, Gavin. It was so lovely to see you happy with your friends in Melbourne, and just enjoying yourself. Ah, such a brilliant soul. Can't wait to see the Egypt vlog :)
Those beautiful faces on the bus really made me smile! 😀
Amazeballs, as my partner says. I really look forward to the Egypt video as well. I can't believe you got home and -swoosh!- video uploaded!
Ngl it was a little weird - in a good way! - seeing you in Melbourne and going to bookshops that I go to! Glad we brought the sun for you 😊
My husband is from Brisbane so I told him I'd be taking notes of places from your video for when we make our own Melbourne trip. So excited to watch your adventures!
Melbourne!! My home town!! 😊 Just started watching this, so I can’t wait to see Melbourne through your eyes. Hope it treated you well ♥️
My BEAUTIFUL CITY!!! 🥰
And!
Thank GOD! You got some gorgeous 🌺spring weather 🌸🫶
No one ever comes here, it's so good to see Melbourne shine! 😍
Gavin the way you pack... honestly, relatable!
What a lovely video!! Your wine tour outfit was so good. And the book and coffee tour was such a sweet idea for your friend to make for you.
Such a fun vlog, my ❤ gets happy when I see a Gavin upload notification
It looks so beautiful and peaceful in Melbourne makes me wish I was there.
Ohhhhh I loved this!! I don’t get to go on a trip for the rest of the year so I felt like I lived vicariously through you. It looks like you had a great time in Australia! Can’t wait to see the Egypt vlog!

Those views from the first flight are gorgeous!
For those of us who can't go abroad right now, this is fantastic! Thank you, Gav, for taking us on your travelling and reading adventures with you! I loved every bit of it!
Loved the sing-songy intro and also hello JETSETTING Barbie! The Sheila is headed to the land down under. Such fun! 👏🏽
Ah, I’m so excited for the next vlog! This was so much fun.
‘Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop’ is one of my favourites this year!
Love this book
I can’t believe she did not put Minotaur on the bookshop tour 😮😮😮😮😮 she really did you dirty on that one. It’s all just manga, fantasy/SF and comics
@@noemiborbely5383 I was literally coming here to say!
@ hahaha love that!
That was fun
This vlog was so much fun to watch! Love the outfit on the balcony, you looked fabulous. So happy that you had so much fun there. And omg the stress of the luggage. 🫂 Can't wait to see the rest of your adventures ❤😁
it's giving do it for the plot and i loved every second of it 😄😍 the book content, the travel clips and the chaos - your videos always make me smile 💙
I can't sleep on planes either! 26 hours from Toronto to Sydney and I arrived practically delirious. Full sympathies ❤❤
Omg watching this is making me want to go back to Melbourne so bad!!!! Thank you for sharing!
I live in the countryside of Australia and try to got to Melbourne and Sydney a few times each year but of all the cities I’ve been to in the world I just have a soft spot for Melbourne 🥰 I need to plan a girls trip with my mumma after her hip replacement 💖✈️
At 27:20 that is the biggest human to dog ratio I’ve ever seen 😂
I live in Melbourne and Love your Channel!
I want to hug you. Graveyard shift is such a disappointment. I bought my copy in Canada to read on the plane on the way home. Bo……red…..
Glad you had a good time, despite the luggage dramas! Weird seeing my city here but even weirder seeing you staying so close to me! I haven’t actually been into some of the bookstores so I’m making a note of them
Dymocks in the Melbourne CBD is incredible, I enjoy going there on occasion :)
Omgg i long video, can't wait to watch it, i was so anticipating this video!!!!
all of those books! I was stressing for your luggage for a hot minute hahaha
Same haha it was the last thing I needed but I made it work
My thoughts as well lol
Loved this vlog. If this is you trying to close the suitcase before Egypt, I can only imagine the antics for after. 😂
Okay, finally got the time to watch the video!
Gavin, you are the best vlogger!!like the best! This was so good! love all the shots, especially the airplane shots, amazing!

Ahhhh Australia looks so gorgeous! I’m so glad you had a great time there 🥹🥰 that’s so stressful though about your luggage, ugh that’s so unfortunate but I’m glad you got it back eventually!
Yeah the luggage being held in Shanghai tested me but I made do without it haha

Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed Melbourne, I love it. Next time you’re there you should jump across the straight to Tasmania! It’s beautiful down here!
Aww you’re always so fun to watch 😊. It’s going to be so surreal watching the Egypt vlog, so excited ❤
Blessed with an hour long video?! let's gooooo
Also sooo happy you got Cat + Gamer❤❤❤
Ooh sweet to see this 😁

Omg you found my second home, Dymocks!
Ahhhh all the bookstores, so jealous
You need one of those book lights that you clip right onto your book!!
Oh great idea
OMG Gavin I got so excited when I saw Flinders Station.😂❤It takes me back to my time as an exchange student. The stopover in Manila was a nightmare. I'm so happy that you had such a blast over there.

Gavin, if you ever visit New South Wales you should do the blue mountain book trail!
2:39 wait I love your sweater
May I just say...Melbourne looks good on you.
Long flights are the death of me lol🥲
I wish I had bumped into you, Gavin! You were only staying 5 minutes away from my house.
omg your baggage being seized reminded me of when i had a layover in china as well and they seized my baggage and took my powerbank! this was close to 8yrs ago but i did tell them i had one when they ask if you have any in the luggage 🤷♀
Your life has been BUSY lately dear GOD, make sure you get in a nap now you're back home!!
i'm gonna have the same problem with all the books i've bought here in france when i go back to my country
in my defense, i've been here for almost a year lol
❤❤
COME BACKKKKK😭😭😭
❤
He’s packing his sweaters and jacket what is he gonna wear in Egypt? 😮
27:29 That table leg was barely hanging on 😭
Gavin 7/11 here sells products for 3x the price of the grocery store and even the grocery store is going to court under consumer law for price hikes 🤣
Bummer there was no fan meetup but I hope you had fun! (I’m from Sydney).
anyone coming to Australia who loses their luggage...Kmart...its so cheap and you can get what you need to get by
you in MY city feels weird ya know
I googled Hot Milk and this one website said "plunge into this hypnotic tale of female sexuality and power."
Ok that actually sounds good haha
How's your ankles doing?
I'm glad you're home safe and sound. Your Instagram posts were EVERYTHING while you were away. Cooking, serving and eating?! You must be exhausted. 😮💨 I bet the reunion with Ash and Tobu was wonderful. 🥰
I love your travel vlogs
