Goodbye, New Zealand. 

All the very best Donovan and Brittany! Thank you so much for sharing your take on NZ and life in NZ. It has been fun tagging along with you. I hope the lure of the hops draws you back real soon!

Sorry to see you guys leave. Loved watching your videos of my country. It’s lovely to see New Zealand through someone else’s eyes. All the best.

You good at speaking the reo bro. You and your wife will be truly missed. Safe travels xx

Another great video. You packed so much into your 400 days in NZ. We wish you all the best travelling back to Canada and know you and Brittany are always welcome back in Aotearoa! Cheers from Team Eddyline

Thanks, guys. Awesome videos throughout the trip. I'd like to visit Canada one day.🤘

All the best we all have very enjoyed watching your nz videos and I have watched all the videos.

I'm going to miss your vlogs of our country. I've mentioned it before, but as a non-beer drinker it has been enjoyable to watch your passion for kiwi craft beers. Safe travels to you and Brittany, it's a big world out there with many adventures but as someone who has travelled about 50 countries of this globe, I know how truly fortunate it is to be Kiwi.

Donovan, to be honest, I'm at a loss for words to describe your artistry. You're an incredible video maker, photographer, and storyteller - your talent knows no bounds. I may be repeating myself, but you're truly awesome.👍👏👌 Your latest video, with its clever organization, was a stroke of genius. We absolutely loved how you intertwined present moments with nostalgic stories through pictures and videos from the past.💕👍 It was brilliantly executed. The sheep scene had me in stitches; your witty comment about them posing like French girls was pure gold. You've got a great sense of humor! 🤣😜 We can only imagine how bittersweet it must be to leave Nelson and New Zealand. It brought a tear to my eye. 😢 However, remember to focus on what lies ahead, not just what you're leaving behind. 👍 You and Brittany have done exceptionally well, and we're thrilled that you've had such a wonderful time making friends and exploring this beautiful country. 💓 Life is all about experiences. We're eagerly anticipating our son's trip there in a couple of months. And of course, we can't wait for the amazing videos you and Brittany will create during your next adventures. Lots of love to both of you. 💖

Really enjoyed your videos from our beautiful country. Hope to see you back one day. Haere rā safe travels guys.

come back - get residency and live here perhaps? Your videos are probably one of the best NZ content I have seen. Most are average, yours are funny and quirky. Glad you enjoyed NZ xxx

Haere ra Donovan. Thank you for what you’ve added to our society. You are Kiwi

Thanks for making the effort to come to NZ. You're welcome back any time.

I picture this scene, once back home, unpacked laundry completed, ironed put way, you sit in front of a computer and compile a dossier of your travels, that morphs into a NZ Travel Guide. And a friend asks - " I am going to NZ for a holiday, what do you recommend I do"? You hand him a copy of your travel guide. He reads it. Then - "Donovan, this reads more like a Pub/Brewery crawl, NZ style". "Yup you say, and in between Pubs/Breweries you will get to see some amazing Country". "Oh"- you add, "Get used to wearing shorts, they are better clothing to wear, anywhere & everywhere even when climbing hills". Said it to you before, you have filmed NZ and presented it in way that has been a promotion of our Country (we should be more than grateful for that) - and also promoted our Beers, which it is obvious that you gained a lot of support from the 'minor players' in the NZ brewing domain, which I am sure they are grateful to you, for both your support and promotion of their product. Safe travels.

What a way to cap off the journey. Really enjoyed looking back on your time here, and our time spent together 😊. You guys achieved so much. Will miss you both and I can't wait to see you again soon 👋

good luck on your next adventure, nice to have you in NZ

Excellent finale, I will surely miss your zany humour & banter. Best of luck to you & Brittany & hope you to see you again

Man I teared up for a bit there, what an amazing chapter for you guys, stoked to know I had a tiny part in giving you the nudge to make beer videos 😁 I'm off to the states next week for a month and already missing NZ. Love how relaxed our airport security is lol

Showing off the breweries right up to you leaving the country… you sir are a legend!! The craft beer community here in New Zealand already misses you. Well done 👏👏👏

Haere rā you two. It's been fun watching your journey around the motu. All the best for your next adventures. Bro, you're gonna hard-out miss our pies!

Hey guys, have loved watching your journey through our beautiful country ❤️ you'll be missed even tho we know you'll be back! Lol All the very best for the next phase of your journey in life. Wishing you both peace, joy and good health. Haere ra!

Good on ya bud! May the winds of fortune guide you both on your journey. Chur chur!

Awwww we miss you at work, but will love seeing where your adventures take you both, big hugs to you both ❤

Donovan it''s been great having you here and sharing your experiences. It''s not a goodbye from NZ, it''s a see you later bro.

Thank you for all of your videos. Just working my way through all of them. You are a great advocate for travelling through Godsown, aka Aotearoa, aka NZ. It makes me appreciate more where I live and has inspired me to seek out more craft brewery's when I travel around

Come back soon Donovan! Your videos are truly inspiring bro! Keep up with your awesome content and see you back in Nz soon! Cheers Dan

Its been a real pleasure watching your content over the past year Donovan. I wish you and Brit all the best with your next adventures ....and I will continue to follow your vlogs of course 🙂

All the best to you both, and look forward to your return. It's been a blast watching your video skills improve, learning the lingo and various things unique to NZ, and having a great time. And as Charles Dickens said, "The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again". Till next time, haere rā!

Hey Donovan, thanks for sharing your NZ adventure. Really appreciated some of the quality videos. And I have you to thank for my first ever fresh hop beer tasting, delicious. I have to admit to being the plumber who recognised you on your balcony at the Sands in Nelson. “Love the videos.!’ best of luck and thanks again.

I'm so pleased that you managed to enjoy the manaakitanga of Aotearoa during your time here. You certainly highlighted some breweries that I have not visited yet down south. Safe next travels and do come back for new bevvies!

nice work bro, glad you enjoyed our humble little set up we got going here

Thanks for the NZ vids. Thanks for making an effort pronouncing Te Reo. All the best. 👍

been a fun journey watching you guys. I really wish me and my wife would have done this before we had kids and careers. Maybe someday.

Your videos had a big impact on me last year before I decided to move home to NZ (after 12yrs!). Thanks for reminding me how much NZ has to offer and best of luck with your next adventure.!

Thank you for another awesome video (loved "get the hell away from me/photograph me like one of your French girls vibes" 😂). What a loss to NZ with you two leaving 😓 Totally agree about the wind turbine - it's better than Mt Vic, in my opinion - brings back Welly memories 🤗. So sad to see you both go, but (though it kills me to say it 😉) Aussie is pretty cool, but in a completely different way to NZ, really. I'll keep 'RU-vid stalking', lol, and maybe one day I'll get the chance to meet you guys in Canada! Stay safe, and kia kaha to you both ❤

As a true blue red blooded kiwi, you are in for a treat in Aussie. You'll need to watch a few classic movies like The Castle (and a few others) or tv show Kath and Kim before being accepted.

Enjoyed your videos bro. All the best!

Miss you guys already.

you both better come back all the best

I love how for most shots in this video, you look like a kid opening Christmas presents. Safe travels

I knew this video was coming. Thank you Donovan for the memories of your visit, your insights, your celebration of new Zealand, your humility and the long arm of friendship you extended to all you came in contact with. My parting gift is my "Kiwi Burger" and my "Kiwi Steak Mince and Cheese Pie'. When you miss NZ simply make either of these two recipes on my channel and eat them with good Canadian craft beer. Safe travels my friend and God bless you.

Hmm, I got the day off work tomorrow, might have to swing by Brave for some lunch & tigermilk.

Safe travels back home. Enjoyed your videos, especially the beer appreciation which is a nice differentiator. Hope you find your way back here again one day, and if not that this is the catalyst for your new adventures. I also hope that living here has been a positive for you.

Talk about leaving on a high note! What an incredible video. Stunning visuals, man. Just astounding photos to look at. I'm gonna miss the NZ content but am looking forward to all the new content you make back in Canada. My only critique is at 11 minutes in, you missed an opportunity to say "hopportunity" and instead said "opportunity" but now you have another hopportunity to do so in your next video. Can't wait to have a beer when you're back in Calgary!

Seeya cuz. Come back as often as you can for as long as you can

All the best homie

Come back soon. We miss you already.

Why you guys leaving?! I can’t find a video as into why. I’m thinking of moving to New Zealand this year but just worried about what to expect. Sorry to being so nosy

Behind in the rent are ya

No Thank You!!!...

enjoyed your vids mate showing off all the breweries and some cool parts of nz hope to see you back in nz soon you do an awesome job in front of the camera .
