Tia's joy at the big things and Cheveyo's obvious disdain for them are both hilarious 😂
Nah, he loves it.
My, how far (most literally) the two former baristas have come... how wonderful their travels have been, and so beautifully documented for us to witness!
Maybe Tia should start a Big Things postcard series! She gets so tickled, which makes me laugh. (But I love the nature ones - gorgeous.)
What a brilliant idea
Those postcards look so good. I wish you would release box sets for purchase every now and then.
Hobbiton is the first time Tia was larger than the "Tia for Scale" object! Lol. Such a fun tour! Love the Japan postcard also! ❤
Damn, New zealand is beautiful. You two are low key doing some of the best travel documentary footage around
Love that you stopped at the ‘big’ sheepdog & ram in Tirau… there’s heaps more to find as you travel around - the carrot, the gumboot, the L&P bottle, the crayfish, the salmon… the ‘Simpson’s’ donut (Springfield) to name a few 😅
The cat was the best part! 🐈💛And Tia’s beautiful postcard art. 📨💌Thanks for the tour guys🏡❤️
Watching at 5am Sunday morning from the top of the South Island, so feeling your early morning pain 🙂
Its 3.28am here in Far Nth NSW. You 2 getting up at "midnight" to go to a beach with hot springs. 👏👏ALL your Vids are uplifting and positive. 💯💕💕 Very much look fwd to seeing you two next Sunday. Safe travels Tia and Cheveyo. ps As an Aussie, I "hate" Vegemite but LOVE Promite.😊
I have fallen in love with your videos over the years, you guys have been my biggest source of comfort through the stresses of life. I can’t thank you enough :)
Also your post card looks beautiful as always !!
So glad you’re both “Down Under “ again! Absolutely love following your adventures! ❤ 🧳
And I really do love that you guys manage to find cats in every country 😁😁
Probably the best postcard to date, it's amazing.
As usual great video. Another thing with Vegemite, is Vegemite and tomato slices. Have fun guys.
There's a fairly subtle difference between Marmite and Vegemite. My preference is Vegemite. Several years ago there was an earthquake that damaged the manufacturing plant that made Marmite, resulting in a shortage of Marmite known as Marmageddon. I just watched Josh and Lisa's vid on NZ, and finally learned the origin story of the car plant!
Same here on the car plant - brilliant lightbulb moment 😂😂😂😂
I went to Lord of the Rings sites at Arrowtown (ford of Bruinen) where Arwon says " if you want him, come and claim him." and Glenorchy ( the scene where Gandalf rides to Isengard) near Queenstown on the South Island.
I'm so thrilled to have you here in New Zealand. I wish I could make the weather improve, we have had what feels like a year of rain and it still hasn't let up... Every time Tia showcases another fabulous postcard I always feel I really really would like this one - what amazing talent. I really really hope the computer random thingy pulls out my name!
I get to the end of the episode and realise I’ve been smiling the whole time. Love it
Glad to see you guys enjoying NZ! I love the fact that there are big things here too! The dog is so cute!
Glad to see you two living your best lives!
We were impressed with your Aussie accent and hope that we hear your Kiwi accent at some point of your journey in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Practice, in a Kiwi accent, "The Sixth Sick Sheik's Sixth Sheep's Sick".🤣
Love you guys for your willingness to show both the cool and silly parts of your adventure!!
Loving the NZ series so far! Glad you two have put more quality and length into these amazing videos.
NZ is such a beautiful country. That postcard has got to be one of your best ☺
Another wonderfully beautiful and funny vlog. Am so enjoying watching you both travel the world - it brings back many memories of when our kids were young and we travelled also. The memories will be priceless for you as well, I’m sure! Looking forward to next Saturday night and your next vlog! Take care and stay safe.
Postcard! Always wanted to see Hobbiton, now I almost did, thanks! 😊
My guess is the town you're in that smells of eggs, is one or near one of the volcanic townships (e.g. Rotarura). Their power stations use the heat of the earth to make sustainable electricity!
Loving the series.
Tia, your Hobbiton postcard arrived yesterday, beautiful! Thank you so much! Love your art 😊.
I am so glad you like it 😊
You are making me want to visit New Zealand again. I had forgotten how lush it is.
Kia ora (hello) from a Kiwi I have been watching your Vids since you arrived here in Aotearoa ( land of the long white cloud) As a Native indigenous person ( Maori that is) Im really glad you are enjoying our country I have been as far North and Cape Reinga and as South as Stuant Island (Rakiura) I know you two will truly enjoy the journey and the adventures along the way Haerenga Haumaru (Safe Journey) and Nau mai haere mai te Aotearoa (Welcome to New Zealand)btw I live in Taranaki right next to Mt Taranaki
Love that Tia found a big thing in NZ. Her joy (and Cheveyo's obvious pain in this case ^^) brings us joy.
It's a little strange how much I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in Rotorua's mud next video!
"smells like eggs" thats the high sulphur content in the atmosphere. Many natural volcanic geothermal springs in the area that you may discover...
For Vegemite you have to have HOT buttered toast -with the butter actually melted through. Then the thinest smear of vegemite -never thick like peanut butter. Cover the toast, but only a few molecules thick. Best late night snack in the world! Love that you visited the dog and sheep at Tirau. Tia for scale!
Found your channel today, you guys are awesome!
Loving the explanation of the big sheepdog lol. We would love to be considered for the postcard also. Japan is on our bucket list.
I really enjoy you both so happy you are healthy and doing well. Prayers and Thoughts always stay safe. 🙏💙
Your postcards are beautiful, Tia! You are very talented
Thank you 😊
Wonderful that you did the moonlight hot spa thing.......that was great to see........love n light from Perth, Western Australia
We spent 3 weeks in NZ in May of this year and has the most amazing holiday ever. If you think the north island is beautiful, the south is somehow even better! Also jealous you were at Hobbiton, I’m a massive Tolkien fan and that place was like Disneyland for me. Keep up the great videos :)
Ohhh I love your post cards Tia ❤ you’re adventures are always so interesting and relaxing to watch. Happy travels you two 🥰☺️
13:00 I get it Cheveyo! Totally obsessed with these movies/books and the whole lore.
Congrats and cheers for having over 70K subscribers! 🥳🥂
good to see Tia enjoying the big things
The Nachi Falls and the temple was captured beautifully in that postcard! Well done Tia!
Way back in the early 2000s when i went to NZ and wanted to go to Matamata to visit the hobbiton set, the original set was basically only holes…the farm owner didnt want the film set keep and wanted to have the farm returned to its original state. Obviously realised a film set attraction is a better investment 😂 but very impressed with the attention to detail…also agree with the person that mentioned the Vegemite to butter ratio…if you’ve never had Vegemite before, you need more butter than vegemite. Also i find that marmite is a lot more “runnier” than vegemite…and vegemite is superior 😊
Melted cheese on your toast with a thin layer of Vegemite is the bomb!
I love the quirky roadside attractions that Tia finds! I seek that kind of things out too. A more recent one was an old Shell gas station that is shaped like an actual shell and painted bright yellow. It's in Winston-Salem, NC.
I knew Tia was in for trouble when she said the Vegemite looked like Nuttella, Vegemite is a salty umami flavour. if that's what your expecting when you first try it you'll enjoy it more.
What a gorgeous postcard! I used to live in NZ and am loving watching it through your eyes. I'm new to your vlogs, love the energy you two have. Looking forward to more!!
I love NZ. Looking forward to going back again soon. Explored more of the South Island than the North but got to go to Hobbiton last time we were over. Such a beautiful country.
Haha the big dog and sheep were great! I LOVE this months postcard! Gorgeous! Please let me be the random pick!
The postcard looks amazing! I visited Japan for the first time this year and I'm still thinking about it all the time...
Fun watch, as always! Digging the postcard art. Nice job, Tia!
That’s unique! Awesome!
Marmite is New Zealand made and our only home made yeast spread .. There's very few cupboards/pantries in nz that doesn't have a jar or two of Marmite..
Marmite has barley, oat and rye whereas Vegimite has wheat and barley.
Hence that bite you taste only in Marmite. There's so many uses besides just on toast\bread\butter.
The reactions to the big sheep dog and sheep is gold 😂😂 oooh postcard 🎉🎉🎉
Raglan has a hot water beach next door to it, something when you visit the Caves,
their are lots of free features to explore along the coast road,
If you smear peanut butter over the light smear of vegemite, it might be more palatable to you. My sister just introduced me to that concoction and it was quite nice :)
Loving your NZ video series! We've been meaning to go back for a trip there ourselves and you might have convinced us...
That postcard is 😍. Def your best one yet! I wonder how Cinnamon Bun is doing? We could hear kitty purring!
We are loving your videos. New Zealand looks like a very interesting place to visit. Thanks for taking us with on your journeys!! 11:48 am from Saskatchewan, Canada!!
Love the new postcard. And laughed too hard at seeing more big things!
Good on you for at least trying Vegemite in New Zealand 😂
As others have said start with a thin spread, only experienced Vegemite eaters slap it on. I’ve worked up to be one of those. Love it with avocado or cheese or all 3 🥰
Tracking you on your tour of NZ as it’s on our trip list after maybe a month or so touring Tassie.
Safe travels. 😊
That’s it the large doggie is the thing that pushed me over, NZ here I come 😂❤
Brings back memories. Lived n a few places on the Coromandel Peninsula.
Loved seeing Hobbiton!!! Big fans of the movies! Too cool you guys!❤️
You put far too much Vegemite on your bread. More than double. 😳
Unfortunately that's what Americans do when trying Vegemite for the first time thinking more is better but when they get it right they quite like it
For a first timer it really does have to be the skimpiest amount possible with lots of butter 95% butter with 5% vegemite. It really would taste horrible when your brain is thinking it's going to be sweet.
You need a better butter to Marmite ratio, smother the toast with Butter,so it softens,and then spread a bit of Marmite over it, so much better.
Yoop yoop - great post card. Loving it
Enjoyed the next part of your trip
I know someone is going to be disappointed by Vegemite/ Marmite when they start by thinking it's like Nutella.
It would be like saying "This reminds me of a Marshmallow" and then popping an oyster in your mouth.
hahahaha ok so i actually did laugh out loud when they came across the big sheep dog. Both reactions were priceless.
Beautiful footage of a wonderful movie village.
I knew Tia would not like Vegemite because she loves sweet things. Unless you are raised on it, it takes some getting used to it. I love it and eat it everyday. 😊
Tia and Chev! I want that postcard! Looks super pretty! Great job Tia! Maybe a coffee table book of all your postcards when you have collected enough??
Thanks for sharing your wonderful walk down Hobbiton. FYI - you might have spread the vegemite a tad too thickly. Hot toast with lashings of butter and thinly spread vegemite - heaven! 😋😁
Tia is so talented! Please sell your work as merch! On t-shirts, mugs, anything!
Love the positivity. Great job guys.
Love you visiting the BIG THINGS just as you did in Australia 🎉 also the Vegemite! Toast the bread spread butter and small amount of Vegemite delicious. You can also add cheese or avocado also delicious. I’m an Aussie and been eating it’s since a baby. You are both wonderful. 🥰🇦🇺
I second this! A thin spread of vegemite on hot buttered toast is the best way to eat it :)
I loved New Zealand, we were there in February but unfortunately we couldn’t see Hobbiton. We are going back soon to see the things we didn’t see first time around.
It's always great to watch your videos guys, you are such a lovely and inspiring couple. I'm heading to NZ next month so your latest vlogs are extremely helpful. Cheers!
It has to be said, you spread your Vegemite too thick. On toast, you need lots of butter with a very thin spread of Vegemite. Yum!
It also has to be said, The Hobbiton tour was beyond expensive! Much cheaper just watching the movies.
Nearly wet myself when I heard Cheveyo's reaction when he saw the big dog.....'oh, this is happening again!'.🤣
I want to go to Hobbiton now; it looks so cute. I imagine the egg smell around the lake would be from Sulphur hot springs. Keep safe. Cheers from Melbourne.
Love your videos! Have almost made it through all 297! Keep it up! Spend as much time as possible in Wanaka - one of the best places in New Zealand. Definitely recommend isthmus Peak hike!
what a beautiful postcard! your video on kumano kodo is inspiring me to plan for a pilgrimage there too!
As an Aussie, I’ve always hated vegemite so I’m with Tia on this one. Also love the new postcard! Japan is on the bucket list thanks to you both. All the best
My visit to Hobbiton was one of the highlights of a NZ trip some years ago, I wouldn’t have gone except we were traveling with fiends and they wanted to go
It's okay Cheveyo, we got your LOTR references and appreciated them!! 😆
Great video! Heading to NZ in a few months and was wondering whether to put Hobbiton on the to do list. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
How good is Hobbiton! Love your postcards Tia. My son in law is a kiwi. He has been here in Australia since he was 12 years old and I still detect his Kiwi accent. Enjoy your NZ touring.
Loved the hot springs and the big dog! Cheers john
Love you guys! And great idea to sell box set of postcards!!!
What a beautiful video!! And gorgeous postcard Tia 🥰
Can’t believe you found BIG things.
Love all the drone shots.
That postcard is unbelievably beautiful. Good job, Tia!
Loved this so much!
Obviously commenting for the amazing postcard but also wanted to let you know I’m in South Korea right now and just left gyeongju. I ended up staying at both places you guys did and loved it. It’s because of your videos that I went to gyeongju and it is one of my favorite stops of SK so far! Thank you for making these!
We lived right around the corner from Hobbiton for a couple of years, It was the only time I actually enjoyed Covid, cos the traffic was purely just the locals so it was so nice and quiet! It's a really beautiful and picturesque area. I love Tia's joy, it is so infectious!
That cat was awesome!!
Another great video guys. It's making me wanting to visit New Zealand.
