Kitchen Tour & Saying Goodbye to Max! 

So glad Max's goodbye is only temporary!

Onward! To new adventures. 😊

Shit...That tittle almost made my heart stop. I thought Max passed away or something...So glad he's doing well

"If I don't try I will live to regret it" - Truer words were never spoken, Donal. I would daresay I have started to live by them as well. Congratulations and I hope to see more of you down in Cali!!!! Enjoy xx

Please tell me I'm not the only one that cried my heart out at saying bye to max

This was lovely to watch, You guys are brave! So excited to see what's coming your way Donal! :0) Goodluck to both of you on your new adventures in LA!

All the very best Donal and Sophie. Wishing you all the success in a whole world. Hope to see max soon. 🐶

Have a new good life!! and Never forget MAX !!!

I moved 23 times in the last 30 years and I changed 3 continents and I loved it, except the packing part of it. It makes you so much more flexible and changes your view of life. I think it is a more European mentality to be more sentimental about the place we live and the things we have. All my friends from Austria still live in the same place I said goodbye to them 16 years ago. Happy moving and all the best to you guys in your new home.

I'm so happy for you too Donal, while you are young keep exploring the world

This is very exciting Donal! :D Good luck to you! I got a little sad when you said goodbye to Max, but it's temperary..I'm glad he's coming too! :)

Good luck Donal! You are very talented cook and I'm sure one day you will become a Big Chef!

I genuinely thought that you had to give Max to a person for good! Happy to hear you're still keeping him! :)

I'm glad Max is moving with you. I was worry for him. He's a sweet dog

I cried when you said goodbye to Max. At least he will be joining you guys after you find your place in LA. Looking forward to seeing Max's reaction when he arrives there. Good luck to you and your adorable wife Donal and I wish you even better success.

Straight up got teary eyed when you said goodbye to Max.

Loved the video, Can't wait to see your new kitchen and hope you make lots of new yummy creations at your new location. Best of luck to you Donal!

Max is soooooooo cute!!!!💟

The sad music, Donal! I can't take it. I know it's stressful to move with a pet (my cat has now lived in 3 different countries) but Max is one of the bravest, well-behaved dog I have ever seen so I'm sure he'll do great. Best of luck to you, Sofie and Max. Hope you enjoy LA! xx

4 years and 2 months later (tomorrow to be exact) you are returning home. Hope this journey has been a life time experience. Thanks for bringing us on this ride. Safe flight home.

OMG, the kitchen tour is just breath-taking and good luck with your new journey to LA!

I'm so excited for you both i welled up a little bit when you were saying goodbye to Max though! xx

=( The saddest part of that was saying goodbye to Max!!

You're going to do great. All the magic happens outside of your comfort zone. Bravo!

Welcome to west coast! so nostalgic to see you and Sophie and Max leaving your house bit at the same time so glad you guys are going for a new adventure!

Omg I almost cried when you said goodbye to Max! So excited for you guys! Good luck in LA!

Good luck with the adventure! I'm sure things will work out brilliantly for you, Sofie and Max!

Yes! If you don't try, you will never know the outcome! My best wishes to you and your family!

Welcome to America..from a faithful viewer from Georgia! May your transition will be a wonderful one. I'm looking forward to you sharing it with us!

Have a safe trip and best wishes on your new endeavors. Bittersweet video, but you'll all be together in no time. Good luck Donal, Sophie and Max!!

You're the man. Love you guys' spirits! Sincerely wishing you good luck.

it's a bittersweet feeling leaving you house and moving to another country. but this is a new adventure for you, Sophie and Max. good luck to you Donal.

Good for you! Change is so hard and I've been talking about moving to a different country for the last couple of years but I have yet to actually make the leap. I'm really glad you, Sophie and Max are brave enough to do it, best of luck in America!

Max is so cute😻 I'm sure you're missing him already. Hope you are having a lovely time in LA💕

Very best to you both!

So cute and sad but good wishes!! Can't wait until Max can be with you again. We have 4 "Max's" and can't imagine leaving them for very long. Great show!!

Im moving into a new house in the next few weeks, and I've been throwing everything out not realizing how much crap we have accumulated through the years! So many things that have sat in drawers for a good decade! poor max, I find my dogs always knows when we are leaving for long periods of time. Can't wait for you guys to be united again!

OMG this is a big step, congrats Donal! i'm gonna support you in everything! 💓💃

Welcome to the states Donal! we are happy to have you ♡♡

BEST of luck to you! I'm sure you'll do great and yummy things where ever you are

Good luck with your new chapter in US Donal! Hope you will do more amazing works at the other side of the world!

Welcome to the US, I hope you like it here!

I will miss seeing you in this kitchen, but this is such an exciting time for you and Sophie.....what an adventure ! Jeeeeez......I had a tear in my eye when you said good-bye to Max.....looking forward to seeing your new place in LA :)

Welcome to LA. Your farewell to Max was absolutely heartbreaking, but I know he'll be so happy with the opportunities to commune with nature when he finally moves here. FYI, Cost Plus World Market (a chain) carries Barry's Tea.

Thank you so much for sharing. This is wonderful.

this hurt even though I saw the vlogs where you are living in a beautiful home in la with the beautiful Max by your side. You are so lucky to find and that you are able to afford amazing houses/homes..thanks for sharing them with us...I love seeing them.

hope you have a nice time here

That's so awesome!!! God bless you and your wife!

So bittersweet to see you packing up the home and leaving Dublin, but very exciting for you both to start fresh in LA. Good luck on you're new journey and I can't wait to see more vlogs!

So many big changes for you guys! I know it must be an emotional time. But we are really happy to welcome you to the States, and I hope you have a great and happy time in L.A.!

Good luck & blessings! I had exactly the same experience: moving to the USA to settle down in New York City at the age of 28, about a year after getting married to an American young woman in Brazil. I have Good memories. Back in Brazil for a while now. I wish you both all the best!

I love the spinny thing you keep your sauces on. Such a great idea!!

Hooray for kitchen tour...good luck with your new adventure!

Another great, but sad, video. Saddest part was farewell to Max. Seeing him sitting in the car gave me a huge lump in my throat. But I know he will be looked after very well and in no time at all, he will be with you in Los Angeles. Continued success to Sophie and you. I look forward to your next videos. In the meantime, I hope to see you on the Today Show. Goodbye Eire and welcome to North America.🤓👍🏻

Can't wait to see your kitchen in California. Yay!

That is my dream home. There's something special about all the stuff that you keep over time (crap) and that garden outside your house. Welcome to LA!

I know how it feels to leave your own country & home for a new place! I left Bangladesh & been living in New York for 2 years, & still it hurts whenever I think of my country.. (But you are lucky, you wont have to deal with a new language! ) I'll miss the kitchen! There are so many recipes I tried, which I learned from this kitchen! It feels like a kitchen I visit every once in awhile... Good luck for your new journey.. A Big change! & hope to see Max soon! :)

So excited to see more of you in California! Welcome to my beautiful state and I sure do hope that you enjoy it here! Cannot wait to see where your career goes with this tremendous jump :)

THANK GOD YOU'RE NOT LEAVING MAX PERMANENTLY.... Have fun and good luck in LA!

Anyone else tear up? Haha, good luck to both of you ⭐️

I wish you all the best and I really hope this all works out for you and your wife! Good luck and take care!!

So excited for you guys! Best of luck!!! 😘❤️

Your kitchen is a heaven for any cook! And seeing those tools and pans is like seeing old friends, cuz I've seen a lot of them in your TV and RU-vid shows ^^. Sorry for over commenting but I can't help it. Looking forward to your new kitchen!

Lots and lots good wishes to you, sofie, n max...

I'm really happy for you, good luck in LA!

Literally cried when you said bye to max. Can only imagine how you were feeling. :(

I'll miss that kitchen and I miss the beauty of the country... but I'm happy for you and your new adventure

can't wait to see the next vlog and hope we can see Max again very soon!!

I'm so happy for you guys welcome to LA hope you will like it here

Welcome to California! Please post if you ever do a book signing in Northern California.

I just noticed your Singer sewing machine for the first time, what a beauty she is. Haha. Good luck on the move and I hope all your cookery utensils arrive safely. :)

I remember when I moved overseas 9 years ago. Basically my mom helped me pack the night before. But then again I still lived with my parents and didn't have quite so much stuff. Since then I've lived in 7 apartments. Definitely agree on not buying crap as that just adds to the packing, but somehow I never learn my lesson. On another note, I just about cried when it came time to say goodbye to Max. So sad!

I am so excited for you! I've never been to LA, but it will such an exciting adventure! Woot woot!!!!!

all the best to your new adventure!

Good luck guys!

Good luck buddy!

Really enjoyed the video! I'm going to move from Spain to the UK with my chef boyfriend and a new little doggie that we've just bought and I'm also going to vlog my experience so I won't forget every step of our new live. I understand your nervous-excited feeling! Good luck with your new country and I hope that you see Max in not so long! ☘

so much love in this video Donal. I'm sure it will be a great adventure. Good luck! :D

Glad to hear that Max will be with you guys very soon :):)

Wishing you the best of luck beautiful touching video x

I understand completely with the new move not having so much crap, I wish good luck to you both. xo

The last montage of the video was so pretty and beautifully scored. It made me kinda sad because moving is never easy and then we cut to the blooper and I can't stop laughing. emotional rollercoaster! but in all seriousness, I'm excited that you're vlogging this whole transition and I can't wait to see what happens next! Good luck!

Oh now you've gone and made the old bird cry!! Good luck to ya, you're a brave couple!

This is kinda sad, but good luck in your new adventure!

Moving to another country is a whole lot of work! But it also helps you to organize better in the new home. And looking forward to making memories in the new home... Wish you all the best! :)

best of luck , Donal , sofie and max
