👋 Who are we?
Hi there, we're Tom and Angel!
An adventurous couple from Canada who’ve always had a love for travel and the outdoors. So far, we’ve have travelled to 35 countries together!
Since moving from our hometown of Toronto to the beautiful west coast of British Columbia, we’ve been able to experience more of the outdoors than we ever have before. In October 2022, we decided to take the leap. We got on a one-way flight and started slow travelling full time while working our remote jobs.
Join us in our adventures as we live in different countries, seek authentic experiences, try new foods, and learn everything we can about this beautiful world we live in!
Adelaide is usually known as the 20 minute city by other states because you don’t usually need to drive over an hour to our biggest tourist hotspots (wineries, hills, beaches ect). I’ve heard the name thrown around a few times and my family have been here our whole lives as well. It’s just a snappy little nickname, it’s not that serious ❤
This video was so sweet and cute, thanks for showcasing our beautiful city! You should see it during festival season! The fridge is EVERYTHING ✨
I’m from SA but have lived in Sydney a long time and I’ve never heard that. I think it is the 20 minute city because you can see the city in 20 minutes. I find in Sydney you don’t need a car, walking and public transport is a pleasure. In Adelaide you will get frustrated waiting for buses and the most original sites are hour was the city.
Australia’s prettiest and most charming city
I was born in Adelaide and went on holiday to the UK at age 6, 44 years later I finally made it home. Those who are bagging Adelaide can’t have watched the video, there were places I haven’t visited in years and some I have never visited but definitely intend to. Yes we are not as big as other cities but we have a great little city and it’s one to be proud of. Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to live here. And btw definitely a Vegemite lover, nice and thick on buttered toast, yum!
I have visited lots of tourist areas, china, vietnam, japan, singapore.. one day driving down North Terrace I was stunned at how lovely it was, the old heritage area, museum, art gallery etc, then you cross King William and its all modern.. its an amazing transformation. Light Square, Torrens river.. it really is pretty.
We tried to do it justice and found it so lovely, we're glad you enjoyed the video!
I am the opposite!
I was born in England and moved to Adelaide when I was 6!
We came on a holiday here first and then moved a few months later!
I have only been back to England once but if I go back again, I want to see more than just where my family and family friends are!
I’m 24 now and there are still lots of places in the city and in South Australia in general that I haven’t been!
We are bigger than people think we are and there are so many beautiful places to explore!
I am a vegemite hater though!
Thank you for presenting my City with great clarity and no-nonsense fun!😊
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for watching 😁
Every Australian cried out in pain when you ate the Vegemite. You need plain bread, lots of butter and that thin Vegemite spread. I tell people new to it 4 parts butter to 1 part Vegemite and then increase to taste.
We know 😭 all the more reason to go back!
I am brazilian and I love the pure tast of vegamite. In fact, i never had it with butter. Just plain crackers and vegamite
OMG yes! That sachet was enough for two slices of buttered toast. Find a local to make some for you. I'm up the road in Alice Springs and just bought bakery Spelt bread to make some before I go to work. Yum yum yum!
@LaSorciereFeuillue your kidding?? That's only enough for half of one piece of toast
Adelaide has totally spoilt me for how walkable it is. Really a great city centre that I’ve been taking for granted for many years now. The multicultural elements give it so much variety and some brilliant food
Yeah, I live in the CBD, and the convenience honestly has me questioning why i didn't make the move sooner.
Born and bred in Adelaide but now living in the lower south east of SA, thank you for showcasing my beautiful home town in such an amazing and inspiring way! Next time in Adelaide we are going to take the time to walk the city and really take in all she has to offer. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😀
Thanks for giving my city such a positive wrap. I don’t think people from other states see its real beauty. ❤
I think the idea of the Christmas pageant is to be all things child-orientated. The floats are mostly fairytale or child/family movie themed and there are also plenty of clowns. There are also a lot of marching bands, dancers, etc. So it's definitely not just Christmas themed floats, but it's certainly all stuff that kids love. Really gets kids hyped for summer holidays and then of course Santa at the end to realllly get kids hyped haha. :D
I loved your video. I was indecisive about doing an exchange program in Adelaide or Perth, and after this incredible trip, I'll be living in Adelaide for a year. Keep making these videos. I wish you all the best! Thank you.
Thanks for watching, have an amazing time!
I love this little city, that I call home, after having grown up in Sydney.
Adelaide is way better than Perth, good choice.
Rundle Mall is crazy! You go into a side shop or the entrance to a building and the inside has so many other little shops that you don't see outside.
The Museum is brilliant - it somehow manages to be a museum of types of museum displays as well - starting with the very 1900s unchanged since forever Egyptian room.
I loved your video. As an Adelaide resident I thought you did a great job of describing just a few of our fabulous attractions. Hint re Vegemite. You must have it with butter! It’s a strange savoury flavour but Aussie kids love it from a very young age.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m from Adelaide, you guys absolutely ROCK! Loved the video. Thank you for showing me my home town. I moved in 2003 to Perth. Now over in QLD
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Just stumbled across your channel ... love this one (I married an Adelaidean) ;) Vegemite on hot toast with melted butter is the best! But I think you need to have eaten it since you were born hehehe ... thanks for a great tour of Adelaide
the random scream in the middle of rundle mall at night is soooo accurate hhaha welcome!!
Hi, Thanks for coming to Adelaide and checking out all the good spots! We've had the Christmas pageant for as long as I remember, maybe even longer. It used to signal the start of when Santa came to the Mall. As for Vegemite, my husband loves it but I loath it. :P Adelaide is a really nice city to visit! Glad you had a good time! :D
The Christmas pageant was started by the John Martins department store in the early 30s after the depression years. It continued under the banner of John Martins until the store closed in the 90s.
I'm from Adelaide, just had this video recommended to me. So glad you enjoyed it and man you made it look a lot better than I thought it was lol
I've actually never heard of it being called the 20 min city, so you educated me on my own city lol. Christmas parades with a variety of floats is something I've always experienced so it never occurred to me that it might be weird to some people.
I find it pretty funny how Australia is huge on wine but we're more known for beer drinking.
I'm sure someone has already told you this but, meat pies have tomato sauce on them, not ketchup, they're actually different types of sauces.
Lmao your faces when you ate Vegemite. I love it, i just eat it out the jar with a spoon haha. Glad you enjoyed your trip here.
Never heard the nickname 20 minute city before or has my friends,I lived in Adelaide & Adelaide Hills well over 50 years,
Usually called the city of churches or festival city👍🏻
Love how I'm learning about Adelaide despite having lived here for my whole life (20 years) and going to university in the city
That was such an awesome video on my hometown. Born and bred in Adelaide, I'm currently 28 years old. Have family in most other states and have travelled to every cpaital city. I would never live anywhere else. Adelaide is the most beautiful city in Australia. It's no where near as chaotic as Sydney or Melbourne yet it still has such a brilliant variety of attractions and countless places to visit. The state of South Australia is unmatched in my very non-biased opinion *wink-wink*. 😂
Wonderful channel guys, you have found yourself a new subscriber right here! 😁
Thanks for watching and welcome!
Such a lovely video. Thanks!!
I love the Amazon water pavilion, the acoustics in there are so great :)
I'm headed to Adelaide next week. You guys make great videos! I'm a digital nomad myself and I enjoy what ya’ll are doing with this channel!
Hey Mack, glad you found us! Make sure you try Vegemite the way it's been suggested here in the comments because we clearly did it wrong haha. Thanks for watching and enjoy Adelaide!
Even though Adelaide is the 20 minute city, there are some lovely things to behold in greater South Australia I hope you one day see. I smiled at "she just asked if I want sauce, I said yes but I didn't know what I was gonna get", it's something so culturally ingrained that I forget about it and when you hear someone else's reaction you're like "so true" 😂
Haha, we love an accompanying sauce so we're always down for flavour combos and it didn't disappoint!
with vegetime, u MUST put it on freshly buttered toast!
We know for next time!
And super thin
Thank you for coming to my city
Thanks for having us!
How did this comment appear here? I did not make it!
Lived there for 18 months last century - Adelaide was a welcome change after growing up in Sydney. Winter is my biggest issue with anything down south, and Adelaide has some absolutely hideous days in Summer - it seems that you caught it at it's best. Thanks for exploring a different part of Oz to the usual SYD-MEL tango.
We love exploring off the beaten path and are so glad we did with Adelaide 😁
I’ve lived in Adelaide for 28yrs and never have I ever heard the CBD referred to as the “20 minute city”.
And for those who live in the city or around Adelaide, a less known fact about the Adelaide Arcade is that it's haunted but the spirit of an old security guard. And he haunts the upper floors, and if somehow get into the Arcade when it's closed, it's said he'll run from the upstairs down to you and chase you out yelling at you to leave the property immediately.
Which is interesting because there are no stairs there anymore or at least not where they used to be. Haven't been there in years myself, also the old folk know more about it.
I moved from Adelaide to Brisbane back in 2018. I miss Adelaide, people tend to pay it out but it is by far my fav place to live. I will 100% be returning in the future😍
Why did you move to BNE? My fam and I are moving to Adelaide in June, we had an option BNE or Adelaide...selected Adelaide
@@aleph-tav I got a job offer up in QLD. If it was not for that, I would still be in ADL. You will LOVE Adelaide, the beaches are gorgeous and there is a lot to do. In Brisbane it is so humid, it is UNBEARABLE !! Plus, it floods.. A LOT. Where are you moving from?
@@jjackkk887 We are moving from New Zealand, if the Lord willing, by the end of May. We are really looking forward to it!! NZ feels like the UK - always raining and windy - looking forward to some good weather
@@aleph-tav
Adelaide is pretty miserable in winter with the winter rainfall.
Personally, I think the weather is the worst thing about Adelaide, but I like it hot
You guys just popped up, so enjoying your experiences as I've never been to Adelaide but live in Australia. What are you doing though, putting Vegemite on a croissant 😖 that's a big no. It had to be on white bread/toast referrably with a nice lot of butter (not a substitute either) & yes go lightly on the amount of Vegemite. No wonder you didn't like it... totally wrong choice 😮.
I live in Melbourne, but was born and raised in Adelaide. A long-time Carer, I've been unable to get back to my home town since 1982. THANK YOU, dear Canadian friends, for bringing my home town to ME! 🥲
So glad you enjoyed it! It means a lot.
I love how you say Adelaide. Adelaide is a hidden gem and one of the beautiful cities in Australia. I love Adelaide and can’t imagine living anywhere else. I think lamingtons are a South Australian cake and you need to have Vegemite with lots of butter. I don’t like Vegemite though as it’s very salty.
As an Australian I would never have Vegemite on a croissant
Beautiful tonight city
Vegemite is the absolute best, the problem is you didn't put in on thick enough. You gotta lather it on there. Plus a croissant isn't really the right type of bread for it.
Really natural and engaging style, good range of content and places covered. We've just started prepping for our upcoming trip to Australia and were struggling to find well put together stuff. Well done. Gotta try one of those pies!
Aww, thank you so much! Glad we can help ☺️
Great job you two
Adelaide is great during the Fringe Festival in March and Illuniate in winter
Adelaide 500
The pageant is awesome, you should do some more research on it.
I'm from Adelaide and just stumbled across this video - thanks for making my city look so fun, it really is beautiful i love living here. I eat Vegemite on toast every morning for breakfast and would never put vegemite on a crossaint that combo would be so gross 😅 definitely if you want to give it another go on toast still hot with plenty of melty butter and a hint of vegemite - its the best!!
Yes, we plan to have it differently next time, we've learned lol glad you enjoyed!
I've lived in Adelaide for 23 yrs and never knew of the nickname 20 minute city
You should have travelled on the tram to the beach side suburb of Glenelg and spent the day there. And it is a Football stadium! And how about Adelaide's food halls. You would be hard pressed to find a decent one in Melbourne.
Adelaide Oval was for cricket loooong before it was a football stadium! So she’s not wrong in what she said
Not accusing her of being wrong, only stating my personal opinion of the Adelaide Oval. And it's Football!
Yes I do like this 😂 I would make 4 peices of toast with butter that melts before you can open the jar. And just throw it on haha. I would also put cheese on top
I live in Adelaide, you should visit Semaphore, Port Adelaide and Glenelg best sunset but Port Noarlunga was the popular for a sunset. glad you enjoy it!
Missed the Adelaide Beaches, shame.
Only a 25-minute tram ride to Glenelg then could get on a scooter up to Henley or go the other way up to Brighton. They are as good as anywhere in Australia. At least Adelaide has proper beaches close to the city, unlike Melbourne.
Ooo, well, next time.
Great video..🙂
We were only there for a weekend which isn't nearly enough time to appreciate the city or the state. Next time we'll be there for more time for sure!
In the rain?
Awesome.
Looking Good.X
The trick with Vegemite is you need to have it 50/50 with butter or margarine…..! (Not straight)
Love my SA. City’s not my thing but definitely ocean n hills are greatest to see.
And that’s a really poor sample of Vegemite . Try with hot toast w/ butter (not marg) even melted cheese ❤
You haven’t lived until you’ve burned your mouth on a meat pie and slopped it down your front! 😂
I’ve eaten Vegemite all of my nearly 60 years. I cannot be without it! Thank you for a good tour around Adelaide, the big country town!
I love Adelaide ( my home). Very underrated place.
Vegemite should be eaten on white bread toast with plenty of butter. Never had it on a croissant, and no one I know has, either.
But have you had it with scrambled eggs? 😉
You missed Adelaide Zoo! It has all sorts of Australian Wildlife and plants!
Hi guys really enjoy your videos. Glad you’re enjoying our great country Australia. With Vegemite it is an acquired taste. Us Aussies are fed it from babies. The best way to have Vegemite is on white toast with lots of butter and a small scraping of Vegemite. The amount of Vegemite i use depends on my mood. The other great way to eat it is on a cheese toasted sandwich.
It already sounds better when you describe it like that. We'll have to try again!
I agree! It’s certainly not like “peanut butter” as some are unfortunately told. Slight scraping and preferably with cheese is definitely the best way to go!
Awesomme video! It looks like you got perfect weather for your trip around Adelaide. Glad you had a fun and varied explore on foot!!!
Thank you! We had a great time, thanks for watching!
I live in Adelaide and love it.
I have to agree with you, I don't like vegemite but i love promite, which isn't as salty. I have it for breakfast on sourdough bread and then put avocado on top and a drizzle of honey on the avocado... love it! 😊
My grandchildren, of all ages, love vegemite. 😅
We haven't even heard of promite, we'll have to look it up next time!
Not gonna lie, its pretty trippy seeing your home town in a YT video 😂
BTW Skala Bakery is AWESOME!
Hi, Adelaide is not a 20 minute city. The 20 minute city is real nwo which we are not fully imprisoned in yet.
Do me a favor... describe to me what you understand "20 minute city" or "15 minute city" to mean..?
We are moving to Adelaide from the Uk in 2 months. Super excited but also a bit terrified for this big move. Thanks guys to give some ideas of what to expect. Any tips for newcomers to Adelaide / Australia?
Welcome from an Adelaide Brit. You'll love it.
6:50 Samples at Haighs are great! I recently got two handfuls of samples on entry and didn’t have a free hand to shop, so just left with my bootie 😂
seeing places in this video i had to visit for school feels like an out of body experience..
ANYWAYS VISIT RUNDLE MALL!!! DID YOU KNOW THEY USED TO HAVE A ROLLERCOASTER???
Where would a roller coaster even go???
@@AnywhereGoes it was a part of Dazzleland at the top of the Myer centre during 1991-1998
Thanks for showing Australia 😊
Thanks for watching!
That Meat Pie looked really good!
It was!
I love to smother my toast with Vegemite 😂😂
You need to eat vegimite on toast with butter and then a small amount of vegimite on top! Hahah😂
In the cbd i dont know if they're still there (couldn't find any on our year 11 retreat) but there should be painted furbies around the place.
Fun fact while in the cbd bus and tram fairs are free but make sure to pay if you're leaving.
12:18 cant believe you didn't film the best part the giant squid
13:28 toast some butter and a thin layer of vegiemite chefs kiss.png
At 23:35 you mention the Torrens flows into the Indian Ocean - this is not correct - it is the Southern Ocean….
Did you two manage to get video footage of the Central Market Arcade before it was demolished? 14:58
Depends, when was it demolished??
@@AnywhereGoes last year, 2023.
Just a side note. The central market arcade was the only section demolished as part of the upgrade, the Adelaide Central Market itself is not being touched.
I live here...and I've never heard it called the 20 minute city 🙈
The two balls in Rundle mall is called the malls balls.
So perfect 😂
So next is Melbourne?
Smart cookie 😉 thanks for following along!
When I was a kid the first time I tried it I said, hey mom did they scrape this from the bottom of a beer barrow ha ???
Taste better with Butter.
18:08 Immediately lost the ‘try not to lick your lips while eating a lamington’ challenge. Almost as impossible as the ‘finding a spare table to sit and eat a pie and lamington in the Adelaide Central Market on a Friday night’ challenge. 😂
Which classic Aussie food would you try first? 🥧🥥🍫🍺🦘
I’m impressed you found things to do here for 3 days lol
Vegemite is the greatest thing ever created. Disappointing that you didn’t visit any beaches or the Hills.
Next time!
GROSS!!! Maybe good for polishing your shoes.
we are not a 20-minute city our Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, and our Minister for Energy and Mining are the same guy take a few septs outside the CBD with out a car your screwed
oh noo.. vegemite on croissant, as an Aussie that sounds horrible. Put vegemite in a small amount on hot toast with plenty of butter or on a normal slice of bread with margarine or butter (not just vegemite alone). Us Aussies always cringe when we watch people from overseas try out the vegemite as they nearly always get that wrong.
SORRY BUT THE RIVER DOES NOT GO TO THE INDIAN OCEAN BUT TO THE Southern Ocean
Why didn’t you go to the zoo? It’s right next to the Botanic Gardens?
Vegemite should always be butter, then Vegemite
I also think it would've been a lot better on toast, not a croissant too. I guess this means we should try again!
W vid
Wow... the amount of vegemite comments. Maybe they just didn't like it guys 😂 I wonder if you might enjoy a cheesymite scroll more? It's a cheese and vegemite scroll 👌 you can also have tomato slices or avocado slices on top of the toast if you have it again!
The comments on this is hilarious
WEF out here busy promoting 15-min cities 😂😂
We've known all along that small cities are more efficient
Yep! WEF...
LOL Vegemite, it’s an acquired taste…
I can see how people can like it, and apparently we did it wrong. But I definitely agree, an acquired taste for sure.
No Farmers union Ice coffee? You have to have when in Adelaide. Also, the Chinese food in Adelaide is not good. The Korean food is where it’s at.
Vegemite you love it, or you hate it... I live in New Zealand and they sell that here and definitely nooop for me 🤢
Love it or hate it but there's only one way to find out! We can't wait to get to NZ 😄
@@AnywhereGoes If you come, do it in this months bc autumn is coming and both the north and south islands are nice , most south is beautiful autumn and winter ☺️
Its like a big country town and not comparable to the big 4 cities you see on the maps. 25k population surrounded by paddocks (called parks) and beyond that sprawling suburbia
Which is why we thought it was so unique and we're so glad we went!
Are you mentally challenged?
They certainly aren’t paddocks, the parks are all lovely. You’ve clearly not visited Adelaide
25k population?? Maybe in the 70s lol
After living in Adelaide for years, we are very ready to leave it all behind. It's not wheelchair accessible, wait times for specialists are 7 years or more so yeah, perhaps visiting is nice but for living, no thanks. In two months we'll be homeless and the housing situation here is terrible. Cost of living is bad too.
save your money.
Too late...
Good idea.
Keep away from my paradise!
Adelaide was built be Freemasons not free settlers! It’s known truth 😅
Funded by the copper boom.
Every place in Australia is a copy of each other. Looks the same, food is the same. Small difference but Aussies love to exxagerate the non-existing differences.
They're all unique in their own way
I don’t think you’ve travelled much because that’s so untrue.
Any visit to Adelaide or any other place in Australia should be done with recognising the Aboriginal people as the first people of the land and whom had to endure genocide at the hands of the British. Please do not 'whitewash'.
Looking at the here and now - Australians - and Australia 🇦🇺 - is a very desirable place to live - but that can't be said of most other countries in today's world 😅
@@user-fv6ke8vv2z Especially for the Aboriginal people.
Yes, a mention that this was filmed on the land of the Kaurna people, the traditional custodians of the land would have been appropriate. Just FYI to the people filming, it is customary for most large major events to hold an "acknowledgement of country" or ask an Indigenous person to perform "welcome to country." Or for a large building to have a plaque of some kind acknowledging this fact. It's a little on the nose that you discuss the history of Adelaide but leave out the Indigenous people. I don't think this was done intentionally, but just a heads up for any other videos you may film down under. Great video though thank you. I love my city.
Bull shit they were hunter gatherers its all AUSTRALIA NOW so get used to it mate!!! The land belongs to AUSTALIANS@@Echo-yk1id
To be honest, Adelaide is crap. Only decent thing about it is that it's surrounded by greenery. Outside of the city is where you'll find interesting things though.
We kind of liked it. Mind you we weren't there very long.
Spoken by someone who never leaves their front door. Plenty to do here and plenty to love about the lifestyle. If Adelaide was in Europe it would be a tourist mecca.
Well that’s your opinion. You obviously don’t get out much.
You can always spot those who have never been here...
Go home, we're full.
Poor represenntation of Adelaide more research needed on your part
How so?
