My USA is certainly not perfect, but I am so proud that we treated you well and you had such a great time. Cheers!
Well put!😊🧡💜🧡
Well said! We're not perfect but we're trying!
I really had the same feeling. I'm glad that they enjoyed themselves, but most of all I'm so glad they were treated so well. 👍
Well said…we do have our issues, but so glad you enjoyed your trip to good o’l USA.
I'm European and now I live in big city USA. Miami in particular. Living in the USA is a dream come true. There is always bad comments in other countries about the US. But there is truly no place like the US. The diversity, the variety, the convenience, the ability to make it big. Like anywhere in the world there are issues, but Living here gives you the ability to basically experience the whole world in one place. The culture, the museums, the food, the nature, the variety in climate. Gosh I love it so much over here!!! I'm very happy to see that you enjoyed your visit. Small town usa will be super cool too. If you thought new york was nice wait until you see Small town america. You will think people is part of your family. God bless you and your family. BTW, you were two blocks of my house when you were hitting those palm trees with you head on Lincoln rd on your Miami Beach bus tour.
I'm happy to read someone who values diversity. And I'm not just talking racial. There is economic, social, and culinary diversity. That's what I love about big cities.
Ah Miami, I plan on moving there this year. So excited
@grantwlms I think you will love it here. Its kind of hectic and expensive, but worth it. I hope you can join us here pretty soon.
I completely agree with you… i am also an American immigrant. I’ve been here for 25+ years and nowhere compares. We are free to roam and have access to essentially 50 countries in one. After all this time here i still feel grateful and lucky to be here.
@@robertofernandez7773 the hecticness of it is part of why I’m drawn to it. Thank you I hope so too
Probably the first time I’ve heard foreigners actually compliment our public transportation. 😂
Same lol
Yeah even NYC that has the best in the country is still a far cry from most of Europe.
I’ve been to most of Europe. NYC’s transit system is elite. The bigger cities in Europe have decent ones. But many cities - like in Italy - have virtually no public transportation
We have to agree, the UK and Switzerland were the only 2 places with very well run public transportation, Germany, Holland and Italy were horrendous. Late, cancelled or delayed was the running theme in those places. US was far better run overall
Buses seem to rule in Italy?@@babbaganush9659
You're entire family is so pleasant and polite. I'm very happy to know you all had a good experience and that people treated you with the kindness you deserved.
The U.S, only needs one thing that I can think of ... more New Zealanders visiting. Love you guys.
This made me feel better to hear this instead of the negative things that are online... mostly from people who've never been here. Thank you!
A lot of the world is very jealous of the United States that's why they continuously call us fat and dumb
I'm a DoorDash driver. I love doing it. And I love it more when people like you appreciate it and need it. I often deliver to a disabled lady and seeing that I'm doing something that someone actually needs feels me with pride.
I live in the United States and I never even heard of it😂
😮 You must not live in a big city.
*Their comments about Door Dash have me considering a switch from Uber Eats lol*
Doordash sucks in my part of the country.
I dont do Door Dash, but I use Walmart delivery & I really appreciate the delivery people & I always tip!
I so wish disgruntled Americans would watch this and see how appreciative your wonderful family is of what America has.God Bless you all
There's a reason why they're disgruntled. The family were only here for what maybe a month month and a half and not years
Looking at you Republicans
@@LongieR8er Looking at you, DEMONrats.
@@LongieR8er I am a Republican so I certainly don't think Republicans are the only ones complaining in this country.Come on
@@LongieR8erYou mean liberals. Y’all are the ones ruining everything
It gives me a sense of pride when visitors to the US find out how awesome it really is. You put things into a perspective we tend to take for granted. Cheers....
Gay Pride?
@@GaryTongue-zn5di Certainly not childish moronic pride, that's for sure. Cheers....
When I first moved to America many decades ago, I would have this giddy feeling almost on a regular basis, which went away with time with life happening. Seeing this video brought some of that back as to how special this country is. Thank you!! ☺
This Country is a Shopping Mall!
It's really cool to see the USA through fresh eyes. There is a lot we take for granted.
Yes. Yes we do
No! No! I don't! I just live in Sacramento,ca! It is a FREAGIN' Sess pool here!
Glad you enjoy our country so much, and realize you could make 100 trips and not see everything but thats whats so exciting...every trip will be a totally different experience......cant wait till your next trip.....
Especially If they came here to Sacramento! They would hate it here! Just like the people that live here so!
So proud of you Sam. I started watching your channel when you were just doing reactions to American sports as the Kiwi Kicker. Now you and the whole family are like close friends. Can't even imagine the channel with each of you bringing your unique perspective and presence. And don't even get me started with how impressive Nadine is and what she brings to this channel. She is obviously very intelligent and savvy. Knowledgeable about so many things, articulate and so comfortable in front of the camera. What a great team. We love you guys too. ♥ Rich and Mila in Seattle. ♥
Glad you all had a good time in the US! Please come back whenever -- thoroughly enjoyed watching your journey.
They will be back this may!
One trick I learned for riding the subway in places like NY is to not get on the cars at the front of the "train" or Metro. Everyone is in a rush to get on, get off, and rush for the stairs to leave and no one wants to be slowed down by others, so they all get on the cars at the front so they can be closer to the stairs to leave. Then everyone gets crowded together in the cars, and then jammed up trying to rush out when leaving and it causes a slowdown anyway. The cars at the end will have fewer people on them since they are further away from the exits and you get more room on the car, a slightly longer but more relaxing walk to the exits, and by the time you reach the stairs/exits the crowd has thinned out and moved on so you aren't "elbow to elbow" and pressed up against people trying to leave. But you sometimes don't want the very last car in the line because homeless people know those are the least used cars and sleep on them because they are almost unoccupied, so get the 2nd or 3rd from the end of the line of cars.
As a big city guy myself this makes me so happy. Sometimes big cities get a bad reputation but a lot of good, exciting things go on with such large communities. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
No! Such thing as community! They don't exist! They are a myth like the Sasquatch!
You guys are the absolute best. Just so classy, so considerate, it’s genuinely inspiring. You guys deserve all the success you’re having and much much more. I’m a big fan.
how very positive and uplifting. thanks. you will love small town America. I have a RV triip planned in Missouri, Arkansas in early May. Hitting a bit of Route 66.
The Ozarks are so gorgeous.
I was born and raised in Wellington, NZ. I moved to US in 1980 just outside of NYC. I can't imagine living anywhere else. People always ask why I would leave NZ and stay in the US. America and its people are fantastic. It's that simple.
I loved your accents! I am an American by choice, I became an American citizen a few years ago and it was the proudest I've ever been so as a newer American welcome to this land blessed by God.
You will definitely see how much more the small towns are not as hectic as they are in the big cities. Going in an RV will be so relaxing and just enjoying the woods and nature at a much slower pace and the small town people are just so kind and helpful and great food.
I'm doing that rn. We only made it about 200 miles from home tho. We're broke down watching UA-cam lol.
@jeni111569
.
I live in Sac,ca. But have been to small towns and I disagree!!!
Melting pot was always talked about with fellow Americans. I think that we are more of a SALAD BOWL because everyone seems to keep their heritage culture going but it gets all mixed together. We have Chinatowns, Little Italy, Hispanic neighborhoods, Arab and African neighborhoods. And of course the southern cultures. Yes, our options are limitless. Now include our National Parks all across the country.
Let's not pretend there is not a movement afoot to demonize people celebrating their heritage.
@@blackblake3658let’s not gunk these peoples page up with unnecessary political arguments
@@blackblake3658 here’s the thing, I’m all for keeping heritage culture but everyone that came to america needs to put America first. Why bother coming here and ignoring our laws and speaking English?
A very apt way to describe it here.
Si todo lo que sabes es inglés, entonces ese es tu problema. No hables mierda de las personas que son bilingües. You better adapt to all the new cultures and learn some of the languages that now make up the USA instead of complaining. If you dont, you'll get left behind. The ones who are smart enough to put their personal feelings aside and become bilingual will be the ones who will thrive in this new world. La decision es tuya. @lisal6121
Awesome family. Great job filming your USA adventure. Can't wait for your next visit. There's so much more to see.
Just cannot wait until your Fam does a trip/tour of small town ordinary America ❣️🙏❣️
That will be the more interesting one.
Ordinary is boring, small towns are meaningless dumps.
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring
Been watching since kiwi kicker had about 5k subs. I always knew you'd make it man. You have a wonderful family. Plz cherish every moment and remember you're literally living some people's dreams
Thank you for sharing your experience, those are certainly some good things about America. Please come back again to all new places and try all new things.
Most foreigners think that the US has no Public Transportation. All of the cities have it, most rural areas don't but hey, farmers own pick up trucks lol.
Did they actually praise our public transport? Lol. Was NOT expecting that. At all.
They don't think we have public transportation based on fact the public transportation we do have only runs in that local area. Couldn't take a metro rail from Atlanta to Savanna for example. Can take amtrak, at about $250-$500+ per person 1 way for those long journeys. Can't get to 3/4 of the state without a car.
@@tonyp8808
"Couldn't take a metro rail from Atlanta to Savanna for example"
That's because there's like five people in savanna. Also it's like 240 miles away. That wouldn't be "metro rail". Metro rail is for getting around within a given metro area, not 240 miles away from it lmao.
Plus the private sector provides a service that gets you to Savannah in one hour (55 minutes).
We have public (free) transportation here in small town New Hampshire. Lol
@neutrino78x other countries have countrywide rail (their public transportation system) Hop on it in 1 part and travel across the whole country with many stops along the way. And Savannah GA is a big Port city, nothing small about it.
You all should come to DC and not only tour the museums and monuments but come to see the lively neighborhoods in DC. It's a beautiful city that I think you all would enjoy.
I lived in DC for a decade and loved it. Don't sell the museums short, the ones under the unbrella of the Smithsonian are free and varied. Air and Space; underground museum of African Art; Museum of American History; and of course, the National Zoo were some of my favorites.
I agree, Washington DC is a must-visit for everyone, Us citizens and foreign visitors alike! An amazing city.
I would say in DC you should just stick to the historical areas otherwise half the city is the hood😂😂😂
What? No way, take a quick trip thru DC maybe, but then get out asap
That's not true. Depends on which side of the Potomac. Georgetown is beautiful, as is Dupont Circle where most of the embassies are located. Also, quite a few Civil War sites, Manassas (Bull Run) being the closest. Every big city has rough areas of town.
Thank you for reminding us how truly blessed we are to live in America. We get so used to it, and since many of us do not do much traveling we really don't have anything to compare it with, we simply think this is the norm. Worldwide we know that there are many different cultures but really don't know what to expect so when people come over here from other countries it is good to get their input.
I'm glad you had a good time. I hope you have a great trip with your RV experience. If your itinerary is still open to adjustments I would definitely make sure you get in some national parks. Especially in the southwestern United States and in the Appalachian Mountains area.
Of course, those are 2500 miles apart so I doubt you'll be able to get both sides of the country at once but either side you go to, definitely check out either of those areas. Southern Utah, Arizona, California, all have small town experience and have some of the best national parks to be found anywhere. For sheer beauty and scenic wonder I would also recommend the Oregon coast. Great place to travel and no large cities there at all.
I'm glad that you had the opportunity to share this experience with your children! I love hearing how impressed you were with everything. It's sad that so many Americans take the"simple" things that we enjoy in life for granted and don't realize how truly blessed we are to live in such a free society, some, even to the point of despising our freedoms. May your next visit bring you more joy, excitement, and blessings 🙌🏽
You've convinced me. I'm going to have to visit the USA myself. Wait a minute, I live here right in the Great Midwest. My family and I have been to almost every state East of the Mississippi River. Our places to visit are off of the beaten path. Places like Eureka Springs Arkansas, Branson Missouri, Springfield Illinois , Pigeon Forge Tennessee etc.
So many foreigners I've met are amazed that we even actually have public transportation because of the reputation we have of driving everywhere. And as far as sports, there is an amazing variety. Baseball, basketball, American football are just the tip of the iceberg. Soccer (or football) is really taking off in popularity here, finally. My oldest granddaughter graduates H.S. this year and has a mixed tennis/soccer/academic scholarship at her dream college. Her boyfriend has a lacrosse/academic scholarship at the same university. We have rugby, softball, swimming, gymnastics, track/field events. You can find pretty much any sport to compete in starting in school in most areas. For a nation that's supposed to be so overweight, we certainly do love our sports.
I think as Americans, we get stuck in the everyday drum of life and focus on the things that go wrong day to day. We don't see how much worse it is elsewhere. Thank you for giving us a more positive perspective. I'm glad you loved it. I hope you make it to Indiana! Can't wait for more!❤
Nah, literally every country is better than here!
What a thoughtful and sweet video. Y'all make sure to come back when possible. I'm sure there is so much more to see. I'm so happy y'all had a good time. Love your videos.
I am so proud of our country ❤️ You have to go to small towns next❤
Thanks for coming to Los Angeles! So happy you enjoyed your visit!
Love seeing people proud of the country I'm from, I think we have it too easy here. The big towns are fantastic but it's the small towns that will fill your heart.
I'm Canadian, Canada and the USA have something of a friendly sibling rivalry relationship. Canadians and Americans make fun of each other a lot, and we have the sports rivalries sometimes, but you couldn't ask for better neighbours and we always have each other's back if the other country needs help with something. I like Americans overall, good people.
Sam and Nadine;
As an ex-bus driver (both for city bus companies and later on, even tour bus.) I used to try to myself in the position of my passenger(s) and get an "understanding" on how difficult it would be if I knew NOTHING about my surroundings.
This...I tried even desperately to instill with my fellow compatriots/co-workers especially when one of the cities I drove for was Tempe, Az. Home to Arizona State University where EACH fall/spring there could be anywhere from 5,000-20,000 new faces going to college. Can you imagine trying to find out which way was fastest/cheapest/easiest to get to like Castles and Coasters? (An amusement park in north-central Phoenix.); or possibly which mall was better than the others?; How about which fine-foods dining places were best?
Well...with me driving a bus, I would let you know!!
(A play on words here now but when you stop and think about it, it quite LITERALLY means just this.)
In other words...I used to get paid good money to transport people AND tell them where to go, and where to get off!!!😂
I truly wish more people saw the beauty of this land. It always give me a quiet joy to see people who love my country.
God Bless America, land that I love. My Home Sweet Home.
A great small town area to see is Asheville, North Carolina - Greenville, South Carolina and Gatlinburg, Tennessee. These 3 cities are very close to each other and there is so much to see! Dolly Parton's Dollywood is there, and the fabulous Vanderbilt mansion outside Asheville, and loads of fun family-oriented vacation spots in the beautiful mountains.
Love, Love, Love Gatlinburg and the smokies. What a beautiful area.
Great advice, a very special area.
Nobody’s paying that much $$ for that
Thank you so much for complimenting our culture. So many people say America has no culture and we do. We have so many different cultures and a unique culture. Even the state I live in differs in culture from each part of the state. I am so happy you had a great time! Thank you for saying such kind things about America! We love you!
American here, you've experienced more touristsy America than i have, never been to Ny york or California or disney land/world. been small-meduim town most my life. currently living in a 1200 population town founded in the 1800s
You folks are good people and you can tell your great parents. I'm so glad you enjoyed you time here. Youre all a breath of fresh air in todays world.
America greatest nation on earth
government's working to change that
I'm pleased that your family enjoyed my country. Especially your experience at Terry Black's. 👍
This family is what America is all about, I think I would feel the same visiting your general area.
America is about people with Bastardized English Accents like the Aussies? 🤔
As an United States citizen, everything you say is true, but I never really thought about it. I guess we take it for granted 🤔
I'm Soo glad (& relieved) you were well treated and had a good time! Your family would make great spokespeople for our travel dept. 👍❤
They weren't at Wal-Mart unsurprisingly!
So happy your family had so many good experiences in my beloved Country. So happy you all were treated well! Come back soon!
Sooo glad you enjoyed your time in “Big City” USA! I’m from Philadelphia and though we have our problems there is a lot of culture and history to experience and great people. Unfortunately, even Americans operate on stereotypes & lots of people who discouraged you from the city have never been.
Can’t wait to see your upcoming trip to “Small Town” America and hope you have as much fun and get to see all the faces of USA! 🩷☺️
I feel safer in cities than I do in rural America.
@@blackblake3658 True… I always get a lil anxious thinking of the places I would like to visit in remote or small towns. In the city there’s always some foot/ car traffic to get help if needed.
I'm from L.A., but I LOVE Philadelphia! Every big city has problems. I've always felt at home in Philly and call it my home away from home. The history, museums, food, shopping (no tax on clothing), and public transport is easy within the city.
I'm from Philly too. Olde City has Independence Hall, The Constitution Center and The Museum of the American Revolution. All must sees. Also THE FOOD! Both fine dining and small street stands offer the best food in the country. Philly is close to PA Dutch country and the NJ shore. Both have a unique feel that's different than the neighboring areas of New York and Washington.
@@Niteowlette 😊Glad you loved it! Never been to LA, but definitely plan to visit.
Loved your reaction, so happy you had such an enjoyable time here.❤
Service is tops in the US for sure.
Yall are such amazing parents. And I'm 44 and I totally get Denzel's fear of heights. I'm decades older and share the same fear, I hope he doesn't feel embarrassed in any wayLove your content, it's so wholesome and very appreciated!
I love your vacation videos from USA. It makes me happy you had a great time and every one treated you great. I love our major cities here. I don’t choose to live in a huge city. One of my favorite places is New York City. I have personally been to all 4 cities you visited. I like them all. USA is so huge I am 42 years old and have traveled extensively here. There are still so many places I want to go. The national parks here are amazing too. I am in western North Carolina and I live close to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and The Blue Ridge Parkway. The two must visited national parks in USA. They are amazing.
There are lots of positive things about big cities, it's not all bad like some would have you believe.
People are there. If you love people, the city is where you want to be.
Hello from New Jersey! I love all the compliments that you give the US and love watching these videos from your perspective. It makes me so happy! 😊
So very glad your experiences in the US were wonderful. US can be such a beautiful, exciting, and downright fantastic place. A lot of us here see the downsides, a major deterioration in services, safety, and a whole lot of things. If you were to stay in US longer, or live here for any length of time, you would see the glaring flaws, and quickly learn you need to be proactive in protecting yourself at all times. We need a major housecleaning. That said, for all the countries I lived, worked and traveled in, the US has something really special. That's why we love our country so much and want it to be even better than it is. Y'all come back now....
Because of you guys, I’m going to the American Dream Mall in a couple weeks! We live a couple hours away and I never even knew it existed!
I love that y'all are experiencing so many new adventures as a family. It's just the beginning of many many more memories to come! You've built a base audience, and I think we're interested in your family, no matter what the next thing is. So, keep sharing your pov and growing in your experience, bc I'm also learning things by watching you. Even if you have a not so good experience or don't like or understand something, its ok to voice it. I appreciated your conversations about tipping! 😅 you're a well rounded family w pretty open minds from what I can tell, and it's a joy to watch y'all have deep talks, try something new, or just shoot the breeeze. ❤
Come see us in Philadelphia the birthplace of America and the home of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Gettysburg and Valley Forge National Parks are close also. I’ll treat you guys to the best Cheesesteak in the world.
It’s interesting you added public transportation to this list. As an American, it can get pretty complicated in some city’s between trains and busses. There isn’t really any form of transportation that will take you from city to city across the country without having to switch between cars, busses, or trains. It’s almost necessary to have private vehicles in the USA when traveling.
I super appreciate your positive attitude and feedback on big city America 🇺🇸 from a first hand experience. Not from what the propaganda machine media says! Thanks guys!
I am so glad you all visited this great country. There are so many other great sights to see. I hope you all come back, you are always loved so much ❤❤❤
First of all, your podcast skills (or whatever one would call it) are becoming top notch. You're all so engaging and thoughtful, and just a pleasant listen.
As for your list, of course all these points are spot on except #3, as all US big cities are not created equal when it comes to public transport. But absolutely, the NYC subway is a godsend (and surprisingly cheap last time I was there). LA definitely has some work to do to get to that level. Miami's is okay, but again nowhere near as strong as NYC or Chicago or Washington DC.
And regarding #5, being a tourist on a shortish trip, you probably would not even have noticed how huge the sports atmosphere really is. The amateur league/beer league/rec league/regular pickup games keep so many people active and involved in team and individual sports. You can pass one big park and see baseball/softball, basketball, soccer, tennis, even cricket being played on a normal day in a big US city. Go to almost any normal family reunion or big holiday blowout, and some sort of game inevitably breaks out, if it's not actually a regular family tradition. Americans do not just love to watch sports, so many have to play also. There's never shortage of sports going on even when the pros are not playing.
I'm so glad that you addressed the most common concerns visitors to big USA cities might have. Thanks again for all the time and effort you put into your videos. By the way, the amusement park mall reaction was priceless!😅
I love how NZF is making their own Top Video from their own experience. So proud of you guys and hope you continue to enjoy so much more the US has to offer to you!
In my opinion when you come to the United States again you should go to the Deep South like Charleston South Carolina and go to Savannah Georgia and then head to Florida and go to St Augustine Florida and Disney World. Also you should check out Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains and Nashville
I was impressed with the robots delivering food in Los Angeles. Your tour bus guide had named all of them of which I thought was funny. I've never seen or heard about that kind of robot delivery service. I wish you could briefly talk about it. Thanks for sharing your videos.
No he didn't! He didn't name them, DUH! The people that built them did! Duh!
Here's your sign!
Y'all see things in America we natives don't. Seeing life through others eyes in such a fun style, great job you two!
Seeing this great country through your eyes and experiences is so refreshing. My husband and I have travelled to many states and I have to say…. This is a beautiful country. You guys are right on with your comments and views. Love you guys. 🩵
I could not be more thrilled that y'all had such a good time in our country!!! It must have been especially wonderful for the kids!!!
Well, as a TEXAN, (You know we have to say that!) (It’s a law! 😆) visitors like your family are the perfect guests. Good hosts can only go so far if the guests aren’t happy. Y’all are the other part of the equation for an awesome experience. It was a great travelogue to watch and you know TEXAS is waiting for your return.
😁👍🇺🇸🇳🇿
We’re keeping the brisket warm.
If you want some of the best sports experience in a “big city”, I highly encourage you to come visit St. Louis, Missouri during Cardinals Baseball Season. We have some of the most dedicated fans of all of baseball to where on a week day game during work hours, the stadium will still be 15k-20k fans. Opening day is its own holiday here where some businesses will shut down so their employees can enjoy Cardinals baseball. Plus you add the mix of several cultures from being an old river port city and St. Louis is one of the most interesting city’s to visit.
Baseball sucks!
I always thank the workers at the places I visited. they are hardworking and deserve positive feedbacks.
If you liked customer service in big cities, try small cities where you are treated like old time friends or family
I love watching your reactions and remembering how lucky I am to live here in the USA. So many things I take for granted and to see your excitement and appreciation is refreshing. Can’t wait to see more videos and hear about your next trip coming to small town America!
If you're gonna do small town America, Savannah,GA is a must. And make sure to check out the little islands like St. Simons and Tybee island. I've been there a few times being from GA. Don't skip over Pigeon Forge TN either and hit up Dollywood.
I'm glad that your visits to the states was everything you expected . Glad to hear my countryman were very pleasing to you. Hope you
had some couch salad and fritters , while in the keys ( conch town ) or Miami .
Thank you for giving a true and actual veiw of USA . Unlike the other channels who probably never been here by there video content.❤❤❤
I think you have a beautiful family. Your kids will be well inform and productive adults.❤
😂😍💜🙏👍🫶 well America loved our New Zealand Family. We are a huge melting pot of the world 🌎 so glad u had a wonderful experience & u want to come back to visit us again. Thank u for such kind words for our country, growing up we saw the opposite where we're would be judged by our politicians which usually has nothing to do with the political side. Can't wait to see where u go next time.
Many many small and midsized towns and cities have a rich and colorful history- throw that into our mixing bowl of culture and you get some delicious memories.
Small town America don't forget Interstate 40/44 ties in with Route 66. Flagstaff, Arizona all the way to Rolla Missouri. The old complete route was Chicago to Los Angeles.
I'm a small town Texan. I have had to go to Houston to work, but I got out of town as soon as I could! I drove 144 mi round trip to work. I'm retired now so I only go if I have to go to a doctor's appointment. Where I live if more than two cars at the four-way stop meet. That's a traffic jam! Last week there was four, it took 15 minutes to get through. We all kept waving for the other one to go first! Sometimes in a small town the rules of the road don't work! First you have to wave at everybody, and then you be nice and let everybody go first! Then when you decide to go somebody else tries to go to. So it all starts all over again!! Lol . I went a little overboard with the description, but it's not too damn far off! Y'all stay safe
I hope you enjoyed your time in our Country. We Love You Our New Zealand family ❤❤❤❤. FYI I am from the South. 😉👍❤️❤️❤️
Small town America tour sounds awesome. Can't wait for you guys to return
Hope you all are well, being a dad of daughters I just want to say being a teenage girl parent is NOT easy. But once there in their 30's there is nothing better!!! LOL the days are long but the years are VERy VERY short. You guys rock!
Loved your thoughts! I live in a big city in the US and love it. I always get a lot of hate from people saying things like:
“It’s so expensive, why would you want to live there!”
“It’s dirty!”
“Way too crowded”
I of course know that it’s not for everyone. I can so appreciate someone wanting to live in a small town or a more quiet life. I might even want that one day.
But for now, I truly love city life. Again. So nice to see yall spreading positivity and not focusing on the negatives! Cheers!
Man! I can't wait for the small town America video.
It make me feel GOOD that you enjoyed your visit to the USA. I hope you visit again.
U guys r so gracious. I knew a U.S..native who luvs ChristChurch & S. Island more than any place else on the planet.
Huge missed opportunity not coming to New Orleans. Best food diversity in the country by far.
Much love to my New Zealand Family from the Detroit metro area! If y'all ever stop by Michigan and Sam (and/or Nadine) want to see a metal show, let me know! I've got buddies that can get you into two different clubs, and everyone is super welcoming and friendly!
(I say, as though I hadn't soaked two shirts through in fake blood this past Wednesday night in a GWAR mosh pit)
It really is a good time, though. I have a feeling the scene is where I'll meet my future wife.
As a die hard Angels fan, glad to see your guys first baseball game was here at Angel Stadium!
Wait till they get to Dodgers stadium
@@LongieR8er Dodger Stadium is nice too, as well as Petco Park
Well, if y'all are here(NE Ohio), during the camper run? I can help you get to the world's largest working cuckoo clock, with life-sized figurine's, along with a place to go to park your camper for the night's(And, can be a different place, each time, including a place, where you guy's can play some mini golf, go swimming, with a food/drink stand, and other attraction's(My favorite's were the zipline, that went from a platform near the diving board's, directly into the water, the waterslide's(The old one's no longer exist, as they built new one's), and the infamous barrel roll), while you are in the NE part of the US in the summer...
Nice video - thanks for posting it. I'm looking forward to your Small City USA trip. I hope your planning is going well.
Start your RV trip in Tucson, AZ we have loads of RV's for rent, year round! Cheaper too!
I'm not surprised you saw negative comments about big city America. Big cities aren't for everyone. I've lived in a couple, Dallas, Atlanta, but now, I'm in the woods. Off the beaten path. I prefer it. Also, a vacation experience might not be the same as an everyday living experience. I'm glad you had a good time though.
Your family's journey through the US is the best road trip I've taken without having to argue over the music. Bring on more small towns and big laughs!
I was very pleased to see a visitor squash the myth that the US doesn't have public transit or that one needs to rent a car in "big city America". I have lived car-free in one city, San Francisco, for 20 years now. Not only do the largest cities, comparable to the cities in Europe where transit is good and popular, also have good transit, but there are many other options for the car-free: Taxis, Uber/Lyft, and even services that rent cars by the hour (and park them all over town so it's normally easy to walk to your rental car).
Unfortunately, SF sucks. I used to live there. Now, I don't even visit. Terrible what politics has done to that beautiful town.
True @@johnbernstein7887
@@johnbernstein7887Now that you’ve got that off your chest, I hope you feel better. We both know your distaste is a political thing: You’re a right winger with a grudge against a left-leaning city-just stay in the land of Trump. But for foreigners not part of the Fox News cult, SF has very good transit, great food (it’s a famous foodie town with all sorts of artisanal and organic food sources nearby), world class high culture (symphony, opera, ballet), good sports with downtown venues for baseball and basketball, and views to die for.
Please don’t visit. I agree there may not be much there for you and if you wear your MAGA hat you could get seriously hurt.
Uber is not public transportation. Outside of New York, Philly, Washington DC, public transit is pretty weak.
@@BTinSFI visit SF for work about once a month. I'm definitely not a trump supporter and I've chosen to live in big cities my entire life.. (except my 8 years in El tuito Mexico).
Don't bury your head in the sand on San Francisco. It is not nearly as nice as it was when I started going there 25 years ago.
Chinatown is awesome... So much of SF is just impossible to enjoy now though.
I hope to see this great city turn things around.
Great videos..Sometimes living in the US we take so many things for granted but to see all your excitement in each city was amazing. Look forward to you next series in the US
