 Ka rewin mawr ni o' Unto komēr, nid iddiai? Mwai wai tanio. Maiku. Aura tamie' oranges, maiu. te i hea for a very first time it is like a ghost town there is literally nobody here well i mean that's a lie but i'm led to believe there's 35 people on my flight from Auckland to Sydney so this morning i travelled from Christchurch to Auckland it was an hour and a hour and 20 minutes flight everything went pretty well i'm feeling very very anxious too anxious to even make a video in Christchurch far too anxious all i wanted to do was get on that plane i've been waiting for this for months and it's finally happening so in probably i'm going to say about six hours i will be landing in Australia for the first time in 12 months i'm extremely excited you guys know the reasons i'm going this video is going to be titled Auckland to Sydney and that's exactly what it is so here as you can see is Auckland international airport if you want to know exactly where i'm going to walk it's through that gate right there so here we are February the 11th is it no it's not February the 12th 2021 and i am about 36 hours away from seeing my two kids for the first time in 12 months so wish me luck i've brought my gear with me i have my youtube gear i decided to bring it with me i did bring a computer i did bring a microphone i did bring my cameras i did even bring my cam card which means that i can use my dslr camera whilst doing live streams so as soon as everything settles down as soon as i know what's going on as soon as i've seen my kids and as soon as i've been that present dad that i've wanted to be for so many months i will get my gear back out and i will continue to make videos but until then like i said wish me luck like the video if you have enjoyed the content lately and i will see you in Sydney to peace out all right guys what's up shut that for a second have we got some lights let's have a look yes we do guys i've literally been in this room for about a minute we're finally here we're here in sydney two flights today the first one was to Auckland you guys saw me the last time you saw me was in Auckland airport and i'll tell you what it didn't get any busier than what you saw in fact i wanted to show you guys exactly what it's like traveling internationally through covid um from new zealand to australia within our travel bubble i didn't bring the camera out but i can explain it to you there was absolutely nothing open and nobody around so here we are i'm in sydney oh god it's freaking hot it is hot here and it's probably only a taste of what i'm going to deal with in rockhampton so guys i will most likely i will most likely bring the camera out later on this evening i did just want to check in it is 5 30 in the evening sydney oh my god okay let's try that again i ran out of battery thank god my heart was in my mouth there for a second because i thought i didn't bring my second battery but i did and is this going to focus i think it has okay we're here in sydney thank the lord we're in australia and believe it or not it's the first time i've been in australia for almost a year not quite not quite a year so what that means is it's almost been a year since i last saw my kids and in 36 hours time from now i will be seeing them for the first time in in almost a year um and i i simply can't wait so i'm feeling really i'll tell you what as soon as i got into this room as soon as i got my shit here i mean i've brought everything i wanted to bring you know what i mean i've i haven't left anything behind i've brought i've brought everything i need for a good life in rockhampton and so here we are i'm staying here in my my budget accommodation for the night i've done this many many times before i've brought my camera along for the ride many many times before but this one's different this is this means a lot this this trip means the most out of any trip i've ever done um any other trip that i've done is about me just me not thinking about anyone else now i've got two other ones to think about i have responsibilities it's time to become a man it's time to become a man and i've said that multiple times and i feel that's true i feel like i've been living been living like a like an immature little teenager you know what i mean with no responsibilities or no real risk okay i've got responsibilities but they're only responsibilities that i hold myself accountable to you know what i mean no one else has held me accountable to them i don't have dependence that i have to that that rely on me but now i do so with all that combined you know fuck what a year it's been what a year it's been in christ church but what you know what a few months i'm about to have and i just can't wait i am feeling anxious i'm feeling nervous i am feeling excited i am feeling the tiniest amount of regret and as you guys know i don't like living with regret but at the moment i'm feeling the tiniest amount of regret because stupidly because i had a whole list of things or a whole list of videos okay put it this way i had a whole list of youtube videos that i wanted to create before i left new zealand i didn't get those done in fact the last week today's friday for the last week ever since monday the super bowl was monday i did a five hour livestream it was fucking incredible absolutely loved it but literally the moment after shutting that that that camera off that livestream i honestly went into some form of of depression i'm not going to lie it was almost like holy shit you know that's over the nfl season's over this livestream of the super bowl that i've been looking forward to for the last two weeks is over it went really well you'd think i'd be happy but in a funny kind of way i was sad because it was all over and without a goal without a challenge without something to work towards i am nothing i am not i don't know who i am without a goal to work towards so one thing i am going to really work on around my kids is to be someone be a dad who can be present i've said that before and i'll say it again that is what i'm going to be working on the the most is to be as present of a parent as i can and what that requires is to not always be focusing not only on myself which i am doing clearly by having all these goals and stuff but but yeah just just drawing a line in the sand saying okay i'm happy with what i've achieved i'm happy with with the way that 2020 went and arrive in rockampton on sunday morning without having to look at my phone all the time without having to check how this last video went without having to make these thumbnails without having to get back to these people through email or or instagram message you know there's always something that was there was always something but that is how i flourish that is how i live my life that is how i thrive but everyone needs a bit of balance so that's what i'm going to be working towards anyway i've probably just talked your ears off talking absolute rubbish for the last five minutes there ain't much to this room in fact there ain't there ain't much at all that's all i needed i've got a tv i've got a bed i've got a window and i've got my sanity and that my friends is a win so uh i'm not going to show you the bathroom there's really nothing to um to see it's pretty fucking small if anyone was wondering i paid $90 a night for this it is 400 meters away from the domestic terminal and so i will be able to walk over there tomorrow morning bright and early ready to head to queen's land brisbane and then on to a bus now the bus trip i'm not really going to think about it too much until it actually happens it's a 12 hour bus trip i've done a 15 hour bus trip before no in fact i've done a 20 hour bus trip from Alice Springs to Adelaide in 2011 this is the first time in almost 10 years that i'll be catching a greyhound bus it's not going to be quite that long but it is going to be lengthy we're going from brisbane to rockhampton i leave brisbane at 2 pm tomorrow afternoon i arrive in rockhampton at 2 am sunday morning so i don't think i'll be seeing my kids as soon as i get there but i'll have to wait i'll have to get a bit of kip bit of sleep wake up the next morning go and see them so by all means come along for the ride and with that being said i will see you in the next one i won't talk to you guys again tonight i think that's enough this video was titled Auckland to Sydney and we are indeed in Sydney i am indeed feeling stoked about it and i hope you do too it's bloody hot in here i'm sweating i want to take this hoodie off we ain't in new zealand anymore dorothy no we're not anyways i'll catch you later peace out
