You guys are the most calmest people I’ve ever seen on KZbin. Thanks for stopping by in Australia. Hope you reach 100K subscribers soon.

[@user-cp4bz5we3b]

I must say you are a wonderful couple so polite to everyone you are most welcome to come back to Australia anytime.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

That's very sweet of you to say, thank you so much!

[@jennifermitchelson7971]

I live in Brisbane and love my visits to the Gold Coast. I appreciate how incredibly lucky we are in Australia. Thanks for your lovely videos.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

You Australians truly are so lucky to have this amazing place as your home ❤️ grateful to be here!

[@berniesookie]

Betty's burgers is an Aussie fast food chain from Noosa, Sunshine Coast, Queensland. I hope you love Queensland anyway. But if you are already in gold coast, you should consider driving down to Byron Bay. It's known for its stunning beaches, relaxed atmosphere, lighthouse and vibrant arts scene!

[@itssamber01]

did you watch the video? they already said they were planning on going there.

[@eoamem.1114]

I love how well informed you guys are with every city you visit. I grew up on the Gold Coast and moved to Melbourne this year (though I’m currently back on the gc) and watched your videos on both. You did your research, explored a variety of places and appreciated the food and culture 👏👏 major props for that. Count me impressed. Yes you did miss a few spots on the gc but after all it’s your first time here 😊 however may I suggest heading to mount tamborine, exploring the Coolangatta and Currumbin area as well as the spit on the northern end.

[@peterdemestre7750]

You should cover Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. It will blow your minds !

[@utidatico]

Love your Brazil tshirt! You guys should consider visiting Noosa Heads and its national park too. And it's Betty's Burger hometown! Enjoy Australia mate!

[@debkendall]

Surfers Paradise is a tourist area. Locals are more likely to be at Broadbeach, Burleigh or Coolangatta

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Yes, we can definitely see that. Burleigh was our personal fave!

[@miketan997]

Come back to sydney in winter for the annual Vivid Festival, the whole city will be transformed into amazing array of lights, drone shows and music!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

We’ve heard about this, it looks absolutely incredible! We will have to check it out soon!!

[@Jaibee27]

I just read that cyclone Megan is heading for the top of Queensland so it will probably rain a lot. Do not swim in the water after heavy rain. There are even signs on the beaches telling you to wait around 3 days after rain. Most people ignore the signs but the rain washes all the dirt and pollution from the cities into the water on the beaches. If it is really heavy there is also sewerage overflow.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Oh wow, good to know, thank you!

[@Delton05]

I just love how you two are so loved up and enjoying yourselves. Btw, Margot Robbie (of Barbie & Harley Quinn fame) grew up on the Gold Coast.

[@TenOrbital]

Ozone is a bit thinner but the southern hemisphere is actually closer (~10%) to the sun in its summer because of the elliptical orbit. Also Australia has low humidity through the air column - minimal haze and bright skies are attractive but offer less protection

[@kristaentwistle4116]

So lovely! If you’re liking the beaches in Australia, next you have to try the Indian coast of Africa. Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Mozambique !

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

All on our bucketlist as well, we will be there someday! 🤍🤍

[@jarrahgreensill2752]

I really hope you guys have plans to visit us all down south too!!! The landscapes across australia COMPLETELY transform from state to state. I'm from the Yarra Valley in Victoria, & Autumn is the BEST time to visit us here. I feel like you would absolutely adore my hometown, Healesville. Tasmania is also INCREDIBLE it's such a historical state with incredible forests, coastlines & almost jurassic-type vegetation. Please keep exploring!!! 😍

[@jana8849]

I love the Gold Coast!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Such a great city!!

[@Never_Had_a_Friend_Like_Me]

You two are great together! Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Thank you so much 🤍🤍

[@kismetau]

Slip, Slop, Slap is now with Seek, Slide for seek shelter and slide on sunnies (sunglasses)! Our higher UV rate is due to us being closer to the equator so the sun hits it at a more direct angle. The ozone hole is actually over Antartica.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Wow, the slogan is getting more intense haha, we definitely understand why though.. the sun has been no joke out here!

[@elissilva.4]

wow Brazil shirt! I'm Brazilian and I wasn't expecting this hahaha I loved it. My boyfriend and I discovered the channel a few days ago and are loving it!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

So happy you guys are loving the channel so far! We absolutely love Brazil, and just recently did a full month there - if you go back through our videos you will see our vlogs from there ❤️ would love to know if you enjoy those!

[@MrMarcelodev]

❤Brazilian t shirt … I love it !!!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

🇧🇷💞 always!!

[@mattsmith3135]

Really lovely to see you two doing the GC in your own style... not a theme park to be seen anywhere! 🙂♥

[@adventurelifewithbob2960]

Enjoyed your video! We had a wonderful time in Australia.

[@Jaibee27]

I saw on the news there was an algae bloom recently on the gold coast making the water look a bit filthy. But the water is also that colour because you are closer to the buildings. My favourite part of the Gold Coast is Coolangatta. Less tourist go there and it is where surf competitions are held. From photos it looks like it is too far away from the impressive tall skyscrapers but actually when you are there the skyscrapers pop out of the ocean similar to the way the moon looks much bigger and more brilliant with your eyes compared to on camera. The water is also a clear emerald green and when you look at the buildings hovering over the water it reminds me of the pictures of Emerald City in the Wizard Of Oz. The sunset there is also better because the land curves around making the sun set in the water similar to the west coast but you will see that even better from Wategos Beach in Byron Bay. You also missed the lookout from the tallest building in Surfers Paradise. You can go up and have lunch there and get a 360 view of the ocean and the rivers on the opposite side and from that point it kinda looks like Dubai but with endless surfing waves that extend as far north as the eye can see.

[@Tyyy_phoon]

I immediately followed your channel when you said she was born and raised in Arizona haha but also I just love the Aussie content. I want to visit Australia bad maybe even move there! But found your channel randomly while searching for Gold Coast vlogs haha hello from Glendale Az ❤

[@happyhappyaus2128]

General Byron recommendations: The Banya Bath house Visiting all the little towns around like Bangalow, Newyrbar etc Rooftop drinks at Hotel Marvell Check out some of the waterfalls around for a swim For retail: Jonson Lane Habitat Byron Bay Banksia Drive in the industrial estate.. lots of cafes and shops For Food/drinks: Bar Heather You Beauty (cute vibes, Aussie food like Kangaroo etc..

[@happyhappyaus2128]

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

This is great! Thank you so much 🤍

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

Love watching you guys enjoy yourselves in my country of birth, we are very blessed to have beautiful cities all over this big country, Remember with the sunscreen you should apply it 20 minutes prior to direct sun exposure to give it time to absorb properly, the sun is so strong here if your not used to it you can easily burn in those 20 minutes, enjoy your time in QLD, try to get to Glasshouse Mountains and Moreton Island they are both spectacular.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Ohhh thank you so much, we definitely haven’t been applying 20 mins before 😅 will make note of this haha

[@vampycatt]

wonderful way to wake up is a vlog by juan and rhylan🤩

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

🥹 love youuuu

[@ameliaporter98]

Lovely video as always! Do you know whether you'll be making more podcast episodes sometime soon? I miss listening to those :) even if it's just a q&a, what you've been up to recently, or any other topic you enjoy -- thank you!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

We definitely plan to bring back the podcast! We just don’t want to bring it back until we are ready to commit to never needing to stop it again. We want to be consistent for you guys, always!

[@user-de6df3jq8i]

I always enjoyed Gold Coast

[@timmaktim2]

Slip Slap Slop ! :) They added Seek and Slide as well haha

[@November4135]

You guys make such amazing videos!! 😀😀

[@wont.stop.travel]

Nice one guys. I spent my teenage years living here. It was a good time!

[@adrianlikus1]

you both seem so happy in Australia :)

[@morphorhetenor]

The Gold Coast's beaches are heavenly heaven …

[@berhaneb1]

You guys are amazing, these videos are great, I've learned so much, keep em coming. I hope i get a chance to try Betty's Burger some day, and visit the Gold Coast. Enjoy the rest of your stay!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying the videos 🤍 we hope you get the chance to visit the Gold Coast as well! 🥰

[@sammymatsushita2838]

Hi Juan and Rhylan. I am very happy to see you love the Gold Coat. I live in the Gold Coast but in the foothill semi acreage suburbs. If you both get a chance to visit the Gold Coast, check out the national parks in the Gold Coast hinterland, and also being in the mountains are cooler than the Coast.. Great views and waterfalls and walks. Ive only been in 2 countries Japan (Sapporo snow festival ) and Seoul in S Korea, my brothers and I were very cold leave the airport -18c ! Used to the climate here winters are mostly sunny here 18 - 24c days.

[@Rooster1976_1]

Please Go to HUSK DISTILARY in Tumbulgum Near Byron You will love that place so much.

[@PollyAndJon]

We live on (and love) the Gold Coast and make videos about the area! Enjoy. So much fun to do here.

[@westnblu]

Actually the town planners had Miami Florida on their minds when 1st deciding on designing the Gold Coast. There's even a suburb called Miami

[@michaelmayo9048]

In Melbourne Berger joint called( grilled ) the burgers are the best.

[@tonyf7997]

Guys, heads up , get out of Surfers and go Burleigh or further south! Better eating around Broadbeach and south…

[@maddison5134]

Yay! My city ❤

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Such a beautiful place to call home ❤️

[@Azia222]

Love your videos! ❤ after your videos i am dreaming to go to Australia ❤

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Thank you so much, and yesss you must come to Australia at some point! It is a dream come true.

[@Megatronbeauty]

where is rhylan's black mini dress from? love!

[@HeyItsMaori]

Ugh 😩 I want more ❤

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

You’re the best ❤️ more coming soon!

[@Joliefleur31]

Just came back from Byron bay it was a great but definitely needed a car or bike to get around.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Yes a car is essential out there! We had a rental car and it was perfectttt

[@marcusversace9423]

I'm happy you two are enjoying yourselves in. our great country - please continue - as the the ozone layers being depleted - this is false- the ozone layer was depleted from escaped CFC gases (used in Air conditioning and refrigerators) banning of CFC refrigerated gases over thirty years ago have helped the ozone layer repair itself -Then why are Australian summer so strong - the earth orbit is elliptic not a perfect circle so when our summer comes around the earth is slightly closer to the sun compared to the norther hemisphere - so the sun seems oscillate brighter and penetrating more - plus the northern hemisphere contains most of the worlds population so the pollution they generate causes a lot of dust and other air contaminates which disperse the suns rays diminishing them

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Ahhh that is so good to know! Thanks for the correction (:

[@marvin69blastem61]

Enjoy and Welcome back anytime.

[@michaelmayo9048]

Now I'm 60 l always take a sunshade to the beach..when l was younger no sunshade no sunscreen. Sunburnt a few times every summer and it does hert putting your clothes on...slapping your freinds sunburn was common just to see if they felt the sunburn..oucheee

[@CibelleLira_]

🇧🇷 ❤Love all the vídeos in all this world. Inspired

[@glassy2937]

Also try Grilld burgers if you haven't already. Different taste to Betty's but also fresh.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Will definitely look into this! Always open for trying another burger spot 😍

[@ericarey64]

Nice vids Bros. Sooo are you migrating to Aust sometime soon lol ???? Best Burgers are BOMB yesssss.

[@ramio1983]

Long shot, but are you guys going to check out Tasmania? :)

[@ellahoang8476]

Also you should try Mary’s burgers in Newtown. I find it better than in and out 😊

[@MolVideography]

Amazing video guys like always cheers. Gold Coast is a awesome place with all the good vibes. Glad you love it 🤩

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Thank you so much, we are happy that you enjoyed it! 🥰

[@michaelott4887]

Love your content after Byron hope you have time to go to Noosa coastal walk is amazing also it's were Betty's burgers originated.

[@scottsheppard4332]

Remember when Betty used to sell her burgers at the river mouth from her van for $1 , cheapest feed in Noosa

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Ooh going to the original Betty’s Burgers would be so fun haha - we love the burgers so much

[@ianmaher4348]

Its not the ozone it's just that you are closer to the Equator!

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Ahhh got it! Thank you

[@Brightangel55]

Driving on the other side of the road than Im used to would just freak me out ! Well done on adjusting 😊 That coastal walk was so pretty wth the city in the background. Surfer's Paradise is a crazy place these days. It's always a pleasure to share some moments with you. Thanks again for sharing 🩷🩷

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Haha yeah driving on the opposite side was definitely freaky at first but we got used to it after a bit. And thank YOU so much for watching and being with us for these moments 🤍🤍

G'day Juan and Rhylan! I've been binging your Sydney trip vlogs and just saw that you posted this Gold Coast video 3 minutes ago 😁 Hope you guys check out Canberra (my city haha) and the Snowy Mountains (esp Mt Kosciuszko!) if you want a beautiful detour as you make your way down to Melbourne ;)

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Thank you so much for watching our other videos! We are happy that you are enjoying them 🤍 sadly the rest of our Australia itinerary is already pretty set with very little wiggle room - but there's plenty of exciting stops coming up!!

[@skyef8172]

You guys need to go for a swim at Tallebudgera Creek. It’s so beautiful

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Noted! Thank you so much for the suggestion 🤍

[@seldabugday9600]

What a nice start to my sunday, I love your energy so much! Rhylan I love the black bodysuit you're wearing in the first clip! I just started Pilates and was looking for some cute gear, so would love to know where it's from! If you go back to Burleigh Heads, I love the restaurant called "Labart", apparently also rated as the best regional restaurant of QLD, by a Sydney chef and his wife from the Gold Coast. It's very intimate and almost has a European flair because of that, and you can watch Alex and his team prep your food! Or if you're going past Mermaid Beach, another gem is Little Truffle! Those burgers also look amazing. From another foodie to you. All the best from Berlin x Zelda

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Thank you so much ❤️ the bodysuit is actually from Amazon! I believe I have it linked in our Amazon storefront, if you click the link in our description. Also thanks so much for the suggestions, we’ll write these down 😍

[@wallywombat164]

HAW HAW. You could put you life in my hands. I'm 82 yrs old.

[@marshmallows6112]

Those burgers and fries look amaze BUT I would probably compare that more to Culver’s then In and Out. Have you guys had a butter burger from Culver’s?! SOooo good. And especially the cheese sauce you can get in the side. It’s a must! I would say my fav fast food burger next to five guys and in and out 👌🏻 Love your videos!!! ❤

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Oh my goodness Culver’s is sooooo good hahaha the fried cheese curds are amazing!! Five guys is probably the best comparison to Betty’s and we would say Betty’s still wins in our mind

I hope you guys are planning a trip south to Melbourne!!?? Constantly ranked the most liveable city in the world and for good reason!! Some say it’s our most European feeling city and shouldn’t be left off your travel plans! Also far North Queensland - cairns, port Douglas, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree rainforest are also not to be missed!

The reason the UK and Japan drive on the left is because it suits right-handed people better, so 90% of people are better off!

[@forthecreators4604]

Yeah, the only reason people drive on the left is because Napoleon changed it because he was left handed 😂

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Wow this is fascinating.. actually makes so much sense. Driving this way ended up feeling much more natural to me, and I am right handed.

[@forthecreators4604]

[@dangermouse3619]

That's just a average burger. Go get a burger with the lot at a fish and chip shop anywhere or just a local place that does burgers. Not a fast food franchise but just a local shop. You shouldn't be disappointed.

[@DanTuber]

Love betty's burgers but not very healthy.

[@juanmarcelandrhylan]

Haha definitely not healthy, but that’s not what you go to a burger restaurant for 😪

[@gregoryjohn4]

I have never understood the popularity of the Gold Coast. It's a tourist hot spot with beaches (just about everywhere along the Australian coast has stunning beaches), tall condos (why would that be allowed next to the beach?), and tacky, overcrowded theme parks. Yes, locals, I'm sure that there is more? But you get the drift. It is over commercialised and far from my ideal holiday location. But I suppose that's fine with a lot of folk. Each to his own.

[@Nic_attakk]

Okay so my take. As a local there is alot about this take I agree with. I think part of the reason people move here, was the gained popularity during the lockdown. People decided to get out of the city and come to a coastal town with no cases. But it many ways, it's not equipped to be able to handle that. It's true that's it's a tourist city. Or a destination one. That people come here during the holidays than head back to their own state. Growing up that balance worked out well because there wasn't a huge load of permanent residents here, so there was space for the local population. After covid it's gone to shit. It's hard to say from an outside perspective why people love it here so much. It's does feel family conducive and orientation. Good for retiring, which for a long time was how this place functioned and performed best. In terms of being good as a capital city, no. We just don't have the infrastructure to support that. So many people moved here so quickly that we have missed out on alot of the diverse cultural scenes that especially Melbourne has to offer. Things are kind of picking up but yeah it's not the same. It's meant for a nice holiday place, then in the low seasons, to be a quiet place the relax. Now's it's busy but we don't have much to show for it sometimes 😅 the landscapes here are good. Perhaps that's what people are after that they don't get in the city. Melbourne and Sydney offer culture. Here it's more about location and landscapes. But who knows maybe someone else will off up a better explanation than that.

[@JoelMannix]

I like theme parks and hot weather + great beaches so it is a place I enjoy going to from NSW especially in winter going up north is something to do that I enjoy
