Here are 5 things you SHOULDN'T do at Hotel Collaborations
Amazing, thanks Gioya & Alex
Hey Gioya, you are such a natural on camera - so effervescent, however tell Alex he has great legs !! Happy Travels x
The best Sunday mornings, is when I wake up to a new vlog from my favorite people ❤ A bit confusing though, when I already watched some of it previously on Alex's channel - you need to catch up girl 😂 Nice though to get to see your slide down in the snow 🥶🙌
Yule is also an english word literary. They also use it in Harry Potter series: the yule ball, for instance
You spoil poor Alex, a great clip - thanks Gioya x
Great vid!
Hi! I just subscribed to your email today. Will I still be able to get info about the prices?
I didn't even know about a coffee pie😂 I guess we are limited only to our imagination😂
I prefer them separately though! 😅
These landscapes look insane!
We are so used to it now, it’s so bad 🫠
Hey Gioya & Alex, thanks for a great clip. Don't worry as I am sure no tourist has seen a live Kiwi - it's just a plot to get people in, hehe. Happy Travels x
Haha that’s actually really good to hear!😅
"Those annoying influencers" lol, Content creators > Influencers Thanks for sharing this, yes its all about the value you provide to the hotel.
Exactly!!
Loved the video ! Thanks for uploading.
Glad you liked it! 😊
Wonderful video - as always 🥰.
🤍🤍🤍
Beautiful guys! The videos are so great as well pffff 😍😍

Free Tibet ❤ from india 🎉

Thanks Gioya & Alex, I too love watching the seals, as they remind me of me - very lazy & ungainly. Happy Travels
The seals are so cute!🦭
215 seals can't be wrong... The south island IS more beautiful 😂 And finally a proper Sunday - with a new video to watch with my morning coffee and breakfast ❤
Im sorry it took so long!! But more coming! 😊😁😁
I just came across your nine months old videos of digital nomad life in Sri Lanka and as i was keep on searching for digital nomad Visa and details for my future to travel while working all over the planet so i subscribed to your channel and joined the newsletter by email too..but now when I came across your latest video on van life in new Zealand I am totally confused...did you totally left that digital nomad life..please let me know as I am seriously considering that for my future and I want to start from minimum basic amount in the next few months..please help me out..thanks.
Hi! I’m still being a full time digital nomad! 😊 right now I’m traveling around New Zealand in a van while working remotely and doing some projects. Would you want to see more of that side on YT?
Riding a motorbike in a country with no road rules while wearing a pair of shorts and a halter top. And you giving advice to other people.
Have you been to Bali?
@@gioya.willems only about 50 times.
Prices about the same as in Australia, including rent. Why live in a 3rd world country?
There’s a different lifestyle
I like the vibe at the AKL fish market, but I have never had anything that is good quality and good value. Still looking for the best crayfish in Auckland. Suggestions?
We had amazing crayfish in Kaikoura! It’s in the South Island so not sure if that’s an option for you?
hey great video, what happened after? was it just videos or pictures too? did it lead to paid work ?
Hi! They all really liked the content we gave them (photos and reels) but unfortunately no paid projects for any of them. But, with this in our portfolio we did land a few other projects in New Zealand: so it's always a good idea to do something like this!
@@VIGIOproductions thanks for your reply and that's great! can I ask what camera and lens you used for your videos and the content for the local businesses please?
we’re using both the Sony a6400 and Sony ZVE1.
cool! might come to nz next year. btw if you need an editor (which can save your time ) just hit me up
Thanks! You should definitely go to the South Island! I love editing so no need for that. Thank you!!
Beautiful confessional at the end. So relatable! 🤍
Thank you. Few months later and I feel 100 myself again😊
If I lived in New Zealand I would be visiting Hobbiton a couple times a year as well as all the other filming locations. What a way to spend your retirement years , in Middle-earth.
It’s beautiful!!
hi Gioya and people who know Sri Lanka.....i want to visit soon for the first time but also need good internet for my work....how frequent and long are the power failures???? thanks!!!
It’s 100% doable for remote work! especially in “bigger” towns.
Yeah the staff at Piefee are rude. And its overpriced. A shame cos some of their food is good. Try Pie Rolla down the road.
We had the most amazing pies in the South Island now! At Sheffield pies 🥧
All of this greenery has to be maintained without the help of any actual Hobbiton inhabitants. I guess that's where the bulk of the ticket prices go into. I should know because my garden turns into a jungle in no time during summer. Groetjes.

Hi! We’re from the Netherlands & Denmark. But we’ve been traveling full time all over the world for 2,5 years now!:)
Net jullie kanaal gevonden en ga jullie avonturen zeker volgen 🙂 Groeten uit Nederland!
Wat tof! Leuk dat je ons avontuur nu volgt!! :D
what phone company is this!
Rocket mobile! 😄
Is it NZ or US dollars 🤩 Hope it's not US! 😅
@@oliviaborgstrom1 haha allll NZ so cheap cheap
If it’s only $1500 per month, let say you’re earning $4000+ per month, you got $2,500 plus savings per month… anyway IF.
need to google how to use softbait
Can´t wait to join the "vanlife club" with you hihi!!!!! 😍😍😍😍

Hi, great video, how did you find your flatmates?
Thanks! Actually, my flatmates started out great but the longer we lived there the more we needed our own space😅 especially when you’re a couple I thinks it’s important to have your own space to live
@@gioya.willemsThanks for the reply! I meant how did you meet the people, like Facebook groups, hostels, etc😂
Pleased to see you have layers to wear into the hills. Safety counts there, as you've obviously realised. Walking sticks help if you're going to do any more, especially downhill which I always find harder because of the stress on knees.
Thanks!! It was definitely still a bit cold. But the hike was Doable for us 😊
you guys are pretty cool..............welcome to NZ and enjoy your travels. Stay safe too
Ah thanks!! you're pretty cool for commenting this!
Watched the whole video to help you get monetized 👌🏻👏🏻
Thank youuuu!! Appreciate it a lot 😊😊
I'm running your vid all day on my spare laptop lol.
Thats amazing!! Thank you so much for your support 🙏🙏
Just stumbled upon this video and was so surprised to see that with such a pleasant content, the views were just in hundreds. Hope you guys don't get disheartened by the slow progress and still continue to make such amazing videos. Sending all the best wishes for your future journeys.🍀🥂 P.S. Would love to see the van tour.
Thank you so much for saying this! Really appreciate it ☺️ we will keep going! The van tour is already on my channel! 😁
Sooo nice with a 'everyday' van life vlog episode. I love when I get to 'experience' regular life in the van - Almost like bts. Also the part where you share your thoughts on traveling and missing family and friends, hits kinda deep in the heart. Just know that you guys are missed just as much back home, even though we have the vlogs :)
Soo sweet!! ☺️ we’re still waiting for another vlog from your side!!
@@gioya.willems 😂 Actually it's been ready for almost a month now - Just missing the subtitles. I'll try and finish it soon, in between working on my 'new old' car 😭 That damn thing is eating all my weekends...
Ahh just upload it in Danish! I’ll have my translator or it’s a good practice for me to learn Danish 😁😁 excited to see it!
🔥
🙏🙏
Coromandel has definitely been the top spot so far 😍
ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
Sooooo coool!
