Welcome back pals! 😘 Thank you SO much for your congratulations and lovely messages, as I’m writing this it’s 6am on Tuesday and we are at sea off the coast of Australia, but officially married!! 🥹❤️ I’m working on a little something special to share with you next, but for now, I hope you enjoy this one!! We achieved quite a lot and loved our time in New Zealand so much. Thanks for watching!! Brogan xx
Tauranga person here. Kiwi's have a lot of cultural significance, but especially for Maori. Hippos and capybara or a random zoo animal may have some cultural significance at home but I'd suggest not as much as the Kiwi to NZers. The legend of the Kiwi is that Tane Mahuta asked for a bird to become the guardian of the trees, and none would, until the Kiwi stepped forward. His legs were shortened and his wings taken so he'd be close to the trees to guard them. Quite the sacrifice. Kiwi aren't just an animal in the zoo or an exhibit to us. They're Taonga, a living treasure.
How lucky are we that we get to join you on this series! Absolute highlight of my day seeing a new vlog posted. P.S. I also thought those sheep were statues/animatronics when you first posted on IG lol!
I moved to NZ 10 years ago from Canada and I still see it as you do - it's so beautiful, especially the coast and the sunrise and sunset. I'm glad you see the beauty too! And the Bay of Islands is my favourite place. Enjoy the rest of your journey and congrats on your wedding!
Best wishes to you both on starting this amazing chapter in your lives! Thanks for sharing this special trip with us! Your joy is infectious and your playfulness with each other is just precious.
Your smiles and clearly visible JOY are absolutely infectious! I find my cheeks aching when the videos end because I have grinned the entire time. Safe travels and best wishes for your continuing adventures ❤
She’s my ABSOLUTE favorite! I know it’s a full-time job but it never feels like that when you’re watching ANY of her videos! Love you guys! Already thinking of how many times I’ll rewatch these videos 😅
Thank you so much for another fabulous vlog. New Zealand does look amazing. You both looked incredible on your Wedding Day. Your dress was beautiful. You honestly look like your having the time of your lives . Enjoy every minute xxx❤
Love your vlogs! What an amazing couple you are! Congratulations on your wedding and unforgettable honeymoon.

I’ve been home sick a few days from work and scrolling RU-vid I stumbled upon your video of arrival to hotel etc. Watched this one, I’m now not only subscribed and following but invested in your entire trip!! I’m disappointed I’m sick otherwise would have made a trip from south of Wollongong to Sydney to wave you off as you leave the best harbour in the country for a Sailaway! Enjoy your next leg, hope you love everything you get to experience in Australia and will try to patiently await your next vlog. Congratulations you two on your special occasion! What an amazing way to enjoy each other xx
Kia ora! Im a watcher from Rotorua! I actually worked at the agrodome a few years ago! The sulfur pits are amazing and are kinda dotted everywhere in rotorua. Very jealous of your cruise! Its amazing.
I’m so thrilled to be watching along! I’m on a cruise right now and was so excited when this notification popped up! So excited for future videos xo Theresa

Loved watching Benji getting excited about showing you places he over from is childhood and sharing those memories with you was heartwarming. Congratulations to you both you both looked stunning ❤ xx
I spent three weeks touring the north island back in 2005 and I’ve loved watching this. It’s bringing back all the feels I had when I was there. I didn’t want to leave. Thanks for sharing your epic trip with us all!
So glad you are enjoying your adventure and your time in NZ. We are English but moved out to NZ in 2005 and love it too. I loved the way you pronounce 'Kapiti' when you had your ice creams lol as that's where we lived until last year when we moved to the South Island. Anyway safe travels, have fun Mr and Mrs Lever! x
See - this is what’s cool about vlogs etc. I would never have thought a farm show would be appealing on holiday but that looked so fun! Looks like you’re having a great time ❤
And just like that, I now want to visit New Zealand. How beautiful and you both looked like you were having so much fun. Thank you as always for sharing your adventures with us x
I'm loving every minute of your vlogs it looks amazing I've been to rigours so brings back some lovely memories for me can't wait to see you in Sydney if been there too xxx

So easy to see that you are having an amazing time, what a beautiful place the Bay of Islands is, I was there many years ago and fell in love with it. Congratulations on your wedding, you both looked stunning, your dress Brogan was exquisitely beautiful, just like you 🍾🥂🌺

Love seeing visitors enjoying our country and experiencing all that is amazing NZ. Jess one of the Madeline’s is a friend of mine. I’ve cast her in a few shows when I’ve been Musical Director. Glad you enjoyed their show. ❤
Such a delightful vlog. You are a great couple🙂 After everything Benji has been through, he's looking very energetic and healthy. You're very charming Brogan, I love your happy disposition. Have a wonderful wedding day.😊
Couldn't wait to get back from work today, so I could sit down with a brew and watch your vlog,. Has always they ate brilliant and you can definitely see how excited you both are, definitely looking forward to your next vlog, thanks for sharing x ❤
Ah amazing 🤩 so pleased for you both and I would love to wish you so many congratulations on your marriage. Absolutely thrilled for you both and excited you are able to enjoy so many fun things and make incredible memories right now! X
Hearty breakfast to start the day with. Being an ex serviceman (RAF) kiwi boot polish was a staple, so it was interesting to hear how New Zealanders got their name. Just one part of a very interesting tour, if a little tight on time. The sheep station was fascinating. I had no idea there were so many different breads of sheep. The sheep shearing was amazing. They are so skilful. . Dinner looked great again, followed by a stunning sunset and show. The Bay of Islands wasn’t a bad place to wake to. Russell seemed a good choice. Benji chipped in with lots of facts about the place. Did he live there or in New Zealand in the past. Nice hat by the way. What a fantastic beach and fun in the sea. Lovely watch.
I really can't tell you enough how much i appreciate you taking us along on your adventure!!!! I've seen your wedding pics on instagram, SO Happy for you both!
Loving the cruise content you guys I hope your having the best time! I’m currently on cruise number 2 myself! First time cruising round the Caribbean with royal and it’s lush, from watching all your P&O content over the past few years I’ve definitely been considering trying them out for a change, enjoy every minute and I can’t at to see the rest of your travels :)))
Hello Brogan I first saw you with Gary C a while back. When this vlog popped up on my TV I thought I'd check it out. And, I'm so glad I did. I subscribed right away when I saw your travel plans and wedding. I just wanted to say that you two make me go 'awwww' so much. You are both so sweet. And perfect together. Watching you both brings me great joy. Much happiness to you. From Chris in Canada.❤
New Zealand looks absolutely beautiful! And great that you got to do your first bobbing of the trip! 😃 love your vlogs so much and so grateful that we get to see them even when you’re on holiday x
Stumbled across your vlogs a few days ago and I’m hooked! Absolutely love the chemistry in your videos and wonderful, positive vibes. Huge congrats on your wedding - what a way to do it! Glad you had a great time in New Zealand. Hopefully you return one day soon and you pop across to my home village of Devonport, Auckland. Until then, safe travels and enjoy the rest of your honeymoon. Never lose those smiles! ❤
