Day 10 - I show you TENERIFE behind the scenes

[@jans1972]

There's so much more to Vlogging than I realised, having you show us what goes on in the background, with editing, pairing music with the footage etc is a real eye opener especially as it's with you travelling on the ducati, stopping and starting, then keeping us up to date with what your doing every day, it's amazing how you manage to do it all. I hope you can relax and enjoy the holiday, think of yourself, it's great your compiling these memories for the future, but you need to chill. Thank you Darren as always enjoying the vlog!!

[@paulhartley7459]

Cant beat a good drink on your holidays mate you have achieved so much i am just back off a cruise round the greek islands and Malta so binging this series and loving it keep up the good work

[@soo5jon1]

Always enjoy your stuff. By the way, blast from the past, Carl Fogarty. Many a happy hour spent watching him race. All hail King Carl, king of the jungle, if you remember. Fantastic bloke, just like you & my John. Enjoy your rest, kick back & relax

[@andrewgalt3964]

Absolutely ❤ your insight into how you prepare your videos and music selection your a true professional Darren 👍

[@angelagraham9533]

Very interesting video , it’s nice to see behind the scenes , you’ve got great patience.👏🏻😘

[@reddevil310]

Listen, you've done what you wanted to do. It's been a learning curve as you know. It's probably cost a fortune , you've had bad times, you're probably already on your way home. But, you've done it, you know it was a daft thing to do and now you can tell us about the pitfalls, the preparation and your thoughts if how it should have been done. Turn a negative into a positive and give other bikers/travellers your own insight into travelling to Tenerife. Stay strong, be you, that's why I watch. Would be great to see you tour GB on the bike

I'm watching this vlog at 00.39 on 2/06/23 The peak behind the curtain at the start showed us the ducks feet. We watch the finished vlog and never think of the hard graft that you put into making them. With magic, you don't want to know how it's done, but having shown us i now feel guilty about how iget to see the brilliant vlogs ,and all i need do is tap my keyboard 😊 So to you Darren i say thank you and goodnight. Please keep the magic alive ❤😊 we all need some in our lives Cheers 🥂

[@corrinaastley6044]

Very interesting on how you put the music into each scene. Thank god I'm not a KZbinr. It would be valuable if you could do a video on things you would have done differently if you were planning to do that trip again on a bike. Great job brother.

[@christine393]

Thank you! Beautiful Video! ❤🙂🙋‍♀️👋🇩🇪

[@jeanettevinten8743]

Have enjoyed the trip with you, but rest up for the journey home! will raise a glass to you x

[@robertjamison1463]

Darren, this trip is compelling viewing. It is obviously extremely taxing and I feel extremely demanding without all the recording, editing etc. If this was a TV production it would have an army of support including camera operators, mobile support, and a full production team. You should be proud of what you are doing. The quality of what you produce is amazing, particularly as you are essentially a one man band. Just a thought, it may be worth exploring any possibility of producing something for TV. If you do please continue with you food vlogs, they ate so informative and brilliant to watch. All the best for your return journey and then maybe you should take a holiday.

[@wormsnake1]

Your next level off the charts pal. One of the best natural bloggers out here. Enjoy the good food, chill and recharge. You’ve earn’t it!! ❤️🙏.x

Nice one Darren looks really enjoyable and one for the road never hurts😉

[@marksawyer3132]

Darren that drone footage was brilliant, it hit the spot for me as la caleta was the first place we stayed on our first tenerife holiday. At the hovima hotel you flew over, they where actually building that big one in the background. Sat on the balcony watching the paragliders land on that beach. Thank-you for that memory and keep the diary going.

[@reedsfromleeds6347]

Your drone filming was really good it’s nice to see Tenerife from the air, you both definitely need a few days days rest and relaxation before the long journey home, are you going back as quickly as your journey down , you covered a lot of mileage each day and It Took it out of you both , I hope the weather is better going home for you

Thank you sweet for everything. You literally give us a bird's eye view of pure beauty along with the tranquil tunes.. It's so relaxing. You deserve 1,000's more subscribers. You put your whole heart into these videos. So much work and effort. Thank you so much for relaxing me. I needed it xx

@@DarrenJohn I read some time back that the more you reply the more your videos are pushed forward. Yours are genuine quality and you should definitely have 1000,s more subscribers.. I love them and many do too. They're different from the norm and not only educate us but give us a taste of what it's like being here or there. Keep doing what you're doing because it's brilliant and appreciated a lot sweet! xx

Keep up the good work.

Appreciate it Sparky, thank you

Some great footage there of Tenerife! Just as you were coming up from the beach, it looked like the drone was going to either crash into the railing, or into the pole. Well navigated. 🙂 Was that lunch you had with Rick and Shelly 'off the charts'? It bloody-well looked it! Thanks for taking the time to share these uploads with us. 👍

[@DarrenJohn]

Nice one John

[@Jay-Leigh]

You know it’s funny as we get just a little older how things do take it’s toll, that being said I think personally you are doing a fabulous job of it. I know editing can be time consuming so all your Vlogs are very appreciated. Being greedy, it would be nice to see more drone work, but you’ve done more than enough. You deserve all the gin you can drink after all you’re on holiday enjoy!! thanks Darren. 😊
