Dear Carrie: The One When I'm Still 29...

[@109-d2e]

I just discovered your channel and your my favorite KZbinr now!! Your family is amazing and buzz is so cute!!!! Love you!

[@noannellesky9360]

Of course you're not too old! Some of the most popular youtubers are over 30! Mamrie Hart, Hank and John from the vlogbrothers, etc! Please keep making these videos, they are so great! :D

[@anniandro]

Mamrie's in her 30s?! Woah I would never have guessed. Same with Gi, I wouldn't have known unless she made this video haha

[@charlotteschapter7653]

Not to forget FunForLouis :) xx

[@SuperButters90]

Charlotte Dale is Louis older than 30? How old is he?! Wow. He looks young! :-)

[@Doogh88]

SuperButters90 He's 31 :)

[@Nicsterino]

Grace Helbig will be 30 this year. :)

[@rubyfallsfromgrace9941]

Hi Gi, I just wanted to offer you some advice about taking Buzz on the plane. I was born in Spain and for the first two years of my life my mum brought be back and forwards to England. The way she kept me calm on the flight, and stopped my ears hurting, was to put orange juice in a bottle with a really tiny hole. So I was sucking, which meant my ears hurt and I didn't scream but also the tiny hole meant it wasn't unhealthy because I was barely getting any sugar. She used orange juice because I'd never tasted it before and she always says that I was so excited at having this new exotic thing that I was totally preoccupied the whole time! I hope this helps and that your lovely family have the best time in Australia xxx

[@GinnyLantern]

Happy Birthday Gi - you are just beginning another awesome decade, something to be celebrated I believe. Welcome, welcome to Oz - don't worry about the weather. We get all sorts here, especially if you go to Victoria and Feb is notorious for being hot. Hope you have a wonderful time wherever you visit and that the people are wonderful and welcoming. Looking forward to the vlogs. See you soon !!! :)

[@CiaraJane340]

Hi Gi, it's so exciting that you're coming to Australia! I hope you don't mind me posting this here and if you do I'm sorry, I have been a massive McFly fan since 2003 and have never had the opportunity to see them live and will not be able to see them this year because I don't have tickets to see One Direction. There are bound to be a lot more people like me who are missing the opportunity to watch them perform because of the fact we are not seeing One Direction. I guess I am writing this, not to make people feel sorry for me, but to hopefully get the message to the boys that there are people who would love to see them and would be able to fill an audience to watch them if they ever came back. Sorry about the massive paragraph, I just wanted to get this out there in case it was something they had thought about but didn't think they would have the audience to do it or incase in the future it's something they would consider. Anyway I will stop waffling on now. Have an amazing time in Australia! One tip I have for handling the heat is lots of sunscreen, lots of water and stay out of the sun as much as possible. As an English girl I know what it's like when you're thrown into 40 degree heat!

[@Danni_rb]

I wrote a similar thing (Ive been a fan since 2007), so i know how you feel. I wish so bad I could see them live this time too. We will get our turn sometime im sure, this will just give them some more recognition, testing the waters as it were.

[@Kirstin600]

Theirs are rumour going round that mcbusted are doing a European or worldwide tour I'm not sure they mention it on their Facebook interview (so there's sill hope!), mcbusted are amazing live btw and I hope they go to Australia :)

[@xAbbieCx13]

Awww Gi, I just love you! You are not too old for youtube! I only really watch You, Tom and Carrie and then a couple of daily vloggers! :)

[@sarahwhitaker6062]

Awesome video!! You are defiantly not too old!! You are beautiful, kind and caring person and you never fail to make me smile when I watch your & toms videos...there's this saying that I love which I have been thinking about a lot recently which is 'do more of what makes you happy!!' I hope you have had a great week ❤️x

[@dlsw23]

You Gi will Never be too old!!! You and Tom definitely have an audience that LOVE you!!

[@LisaYoungUK.]

You're NOT too old! I've just started and I'm 33! :)

[@leannej1260]

HAPPY 30th next week😄 speaking as a viewer in her 40s I enjoy your vlogs, and Toms and Carries, I will say I enjoy the three of you the most, so down to earth, please keep it up😄❤️😄

[@lilyemmawhalley7103]

You'll never be too old for KZbin, I'll be watching you when you're 70.

[@ramenlicous]

Happy Birthday Gi! I'm so excited to hear your coming Aus! I hope you and Buzz both enjoy yourselves while your here!

[@leilakobra1973]

Not old at all! You're such a role model, so humble and down to earth, it's as though we all know you having a convo!

[@meljac9649]

Happy birthday!! You are never too old if you enjoy it that's all that matters. The vlog brothers are older then 30 and are amazing to watch. :) love seeing your videos!!

[@ItsMeIzzbiz]

Giii!!! Of course you're not too old to do KZbin!!! Actually I wish there were more gi "type" youtubers!! And, btw, you look gorgeous!!! And your little buzz is just so adorable!!! Lots of love!! Xxx

[@pejuakinade1865]

You're definitely not too old! And your so positive and fun that your age doesn't even come into it! The Saccone Jolys are one my favourite KZbinrs and they're not really young☺️ so excited that your going to be vlogging whilst your away! Seems you've been writing a lot so you could definitely do with a rest😊 Gi and Buzz vlogs sound awesome! Xx

[@Rainefaelyn]

You've gotten a lot of great advice so far, for your trip to Australia. I just wanted to add. While it is still quite hot. (Even in stormy weather) the shops are getting in their winter clothes stock. So even if you pack mostly light summer clothes. And in the slight chance the weather cools off. You should be able to pick up a few warmer outfits fairly easily. My boys are getting around in shorts and t-shirt. Or less at the moment. Hope you have a great trip.

[@MeereeFox]

You're definitely not too old for youtube, Gi. I actually think it is quite nice for us viewers who are older than the average youtuber to see someone our age who can impart her wisdom on us :) It's inspiring on a whole other level! Love u! xox

[@lifeasnikki]

Gi, you're never too old for KZbin! And you can't stop making videos, they're so fun and relaxing, I love watching them!

[@heidibaltom8138]

Your definately not too old. Im 33 and I love watching your vlogs. As long as your enjoying doing it then that is all that matters. Take care and have fun in Australia x

[@bexwhyte1933]

You are not too old xxx you are one of my favorite youtubers!!!!

[@rivermartin5121]

NO, you are not too old for KZbin. Happy Birthday for when it comes, hon. Have the best time down under, can wait for oz vlogs! :) xo

[@colleenmgrace]

30 is defiantly not too old!! love your videos 😊😊😊

[@KiaRaptor]

I just realised I'm not in the habit of liking these videos, but I love them! The Dear vids are my favourites on youtube, and Gi's are particularly fantastic.

[@jazzyrobot]

You are definitely definitely not too old for KZbin! You're one of my favourites and always make me smile :D

[@ashleebowler9956]

Exciting news that your coming to Australia too! The weather here has been so nice. I hope you have a wonderful time down under and hopefully we may cross paths

[@MissCarMil]

I love that you imitated Tom shouting and in turn, startled him. Hahaha

[@hannahswan1193]

Happy Birthday for next Thursday! xx

[@KatieLouiseHalsall]

Kindle - definitely worth it! I always said I'd never buy one. Got one for a Christmas present, and that January I went to Venice by coach. 27 hours later, and I'd read a few books on my kindle without having to keep getting a book out of my bag. Lightens the load considerably. Something I imagine will be helpful considering you'll have lots of baby items!

[@VivoMate]

Yay you're coming to Australia! Hopefully I'll see your face around Melbourne!

[@lucybrown8012]

You are not to old to KZbin 💕 Can I just say you are pretty, and very talented 💕💕

[@RosieH]

Advice from an Aussie who has spent almost 19 years here through all the seasons, pack for everything!! I'm assuming you're going east-coast i.e Melbourne and Sydney? In this case you are likely to experience HOT weather at some point during your 3-week stay in February, (I'm talking possibly up to 40deg C), The west-coast is almost always hotter than the east but I'm not sure how different as I spend my life east. Australian weather can be unpredictable so just be sure that you have something for everything (I'm not talking snow jackets or anything extreme, just be prepared). A basic list would be: - The obvious toiletries - Lots of sun dresses. - T-shirts and singlets - Shorts, Jeans. - At least one jacket/cardigan/blazer that isn't too thick. - Bathers (swim-suits) - Shoes you will probably needs sandels/thongs(flip-flops) etc. Basically it can get hot, and Buzz will probably need cool ventilated outfits (it is likely that the temp will drop below 20 at some point so something warm is always good to have on hand) also and then all the necessities such as bottles, his fave toy that sort of thing. Essentials can easily be bought here (Woolworths and Coles are probably a safe bet and they are everywhere). Just remember if you think you've forgotten something Australia has shops! It shouldn't be too hard to find what you need, though it could feel like you need something from home (shopping centres and Supermarkets are not hard to find)! Good Luck and make sure you don't stress too much when you are packing I hope this helps (Assuming you read it). xx

[@layogavita]

Nono!! Ur never to old! I adore your videos SSOO much!!! Xx

[@jensti]

Happy birthday (day before mine!) and good luck with the flight. My friend managed to do the plane trip on her own with 8 month old twins. She said that the flight staff were super nice and did loads to help her so she only went slightly insane as a result!

[@TheRagdoll3]

Happy Birthday! I hope you've had a fabulous day :D xxx

[@lurveit]

Packing for Australia depends on where exactly you'll be heading to in Australia. Here in Queensland we've had rain but it's never been cold enough that there's been need for a jumper etc. If there's wet weather wind - longs pants and a long sleeve shirt will do at night just fine. It's best to just pack for a nice summer holiday. Wishing you a wonderful time here in Australia. Much love, a fellow 29 yr old viewer :)

[@KirkyKirsten]

You're definitely not too old!! Keep going! You enjoy it and we enjoy it and that's what matters :)

[@mariadm95]

Of course you're not old, keep making videos! You should definitely make vlogs while you're in Australia with the 1d boys and show us a little bit of the country, so at least we'll know how beautiful it is. Have a nice birthday! xx

[@cindydarosa6036]

gi!!!!!!!! i know you're busy and then you're going away, but i do have a suggestion for the channel: i wish you would talk more about books with us! maybe a monthly video (or whenever you would be able, really) with some of your favorites books, a tour around your office, even a short note on the beggining of the video to tell us what book you are reading at the moment, that kind of stuff. i love to read and you really like to here your suggestions/opinions on some books!!! so yeah, that's it! love your videos, love the channel, love you (L) xx

[@hannaht6288]

I'm turning thirty this year, so please don't say you're too old. I love your vlogs. Keep vlogging, especially Australia!

[@kirstieKABOOM]

I can't wait for you to be in Australia! I'm a Sydney-sider myself and I will be out and about looking for you and Buzz!

[@noibst]

I flew to Australia with quntas with my baby and they give two suitcases! I flew from California which is a 17 hour flight! It wasn't bad at all! Just be ready to walk up and down the aisles with him, bring snacks and toys that he likes. I got a whole row to myself and my husband and baby one way and that was awesome! Good luck :)

[@vickyknaggs2926]

Please never stop vlogging. I love your videos and your great. Plus your only as old as you feel. I'm 30 next year!

[@leahpoole123]

You're never to old!!

[@melia3462]

I can't wait for you to come to Australia!!!!! It's amazing here and I think you will really enjoy it. I'd love to meet you but you'll probably want to explore and have family time :)

[@ilovejenniferlawrenc]

So excited you guys will be coming to Australia with the boys for them supporting One Direction!!!!!

[@Davieslisajo]

Gi, I am 43 and I really enjoy your vlogs. Keep 'em coming :D

[@emilyalice5609]

Oh wow! It's crazy you're coming to Australia! I suggest going to as many beaches as you can. There are some badass museums as well! It's been raining a bunch in Queensland (stuff keeps getting flooded), but there is usually something to do!

[@frankiemillard9180]

You are never too old Gi!

[@theabarrett2640]

Definitely not too old to vlog! The vlogbrothers are older and are amazing :)

[@zoekapyoutube]

Wonderful that you and Buzz are coming to Australia too! I don't know where you will be spending most of your time, but I know here in Melbourne it is generally very warm in Feb so it would be safe to pack for warm weather, but nights can be a bit cool. Also, as you mentioned the Aquarium, the Melbourne Aquarium is pretty good and Buzz may like it there and possibly the Melbourne Museum. (I don't know what sort of things Buzz likes but I know there is a children's section in the museum, but I haven't been to that section in a few years.) Have a very happy birthday and I hope you enjoy your holiday!

[@94larkla]

Hi! my mum told me that when I was little and we went flying se bought a sleeping bag so i could be really comfy! I think that the best way to keep the little one happy is for them to be comfy, and happy. Also if he would cry, you should have some extra earplugs with you, so if someone complains about the crying you can solve it by giving away earplugs. BTW Happy birthday!! xx

[@louiseereads]

When I heard Mcbusted was coming to Aus I freaked out. Hopefully I'll be able to go to the 1D concert to see them. Now I hear you're with them I'm super excited. Doubt I'll see you but I'm excited never the less :) P.S you are definitely not too old to be on KZbin :) we love you

[@konakoffee77]

No! You're not too old!! I love seeing the life of an author (as an aspiring one) :)

[@maddyacoustics]

Yay Australia! I'll be at one of the Melbourne shows :). Enjoy your holiday.

[@luna-bz8im]

I'm freaking out cos you're coming to Australia!!! As for packing/clothing and stuff you should bring some t-shirts and shorts but also bring some warm items of clothing because I live in Melbourne which has very strange weather one day it's hot the next it not (it rhymed lol) and in Sydney and Queensland (idk of you're going to Queensland) they're usually quite hot. I can't wait for you (and the guys) to come to Australia 😊 and Happy (early) Birthday Gi!

[@ronnepony]

mamrie hart is 31 and still an awesome youtuber, so yess ofcourse, as long as you get positive feedback and like the content you put out there, go on ! you are awesome

[@louiseamyellis1676]

Your not to old please don't stop vlogging and making videos I enjoy your vlogs!!

[@spaceant0765]

If you are still enjoying it then you are absolutely not too old for KZbin. As long as you are still having fun with it then you go girl :*

[@nicolarose6438]

There are no age limits for youtube! Happy 30th for next week!

[@KayleighS90]

You're not too old! Mamrie Hart is over 30 and Michael Buckley is over 40! What ever age you are you can make videos! I'm 24 and I love seeing older youtubers. It can feel quite weird when it seems all other viewers are 12! Love you! xx

[@NicolesNiche]

I can't tell you how excited I am that McBusted are a supporting act for 1D. Yes I'm going to 1D & yes I'm 20 (don't judge me haha) but I've been a fan of Mcfly & Busted for many many years coming from Scotland originally & moving to Oz when I was 13 so I grew up listening to both bands. I'm beyond excited!! Melbourne is to be 33 degrees tomorrow so it's not raining all the time! Pack a few summer clothes too! :)

[@jorjaaustin9099]

Can't wait to see McBusted live in Melbourne on the 14th. Sorry if you didn't want any comments like this Gi. I hope that you enjoy your time in Australia and remember it forever. Jorja xox P.S you're an amazing youtuber and person and you're defiantly an amazing idol that I will look up too forever.

[@LauraMota1396]

Never too old for doing anything, Gi!

[@sue_busted1116]

Kindles are a great idea if you are going away. Highly recommended. No age limit on YT videos, I'm so looking forward to yours and Tom's Australian vlogs. Have an awesome time. xxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GI! Hope you had a fantastic day :D

[@fuzluv95]

You'll be thirty, flirty, and thriving! Embrace that! And I've just entered my twenties... It's really weird not being a teenager anymore.

[@misstiarnesimons]

Your coming to Australia at the perfect time, February is generally the hottest month and there isn't as much rain (at least in Melbourne and Sydney, but then again the weather can change every 10 minutes here.) Also you do not look 30 at all Gi, but have a good time in Aus, I'm so excited to see McBusted perform!

[@jackieeeeeeeeeeeee08]

Gi it's summer in Australia at the moment so bring summer clothes. But then again today was really hot in Sydney then it rained in the afternoon. So happy the boys are coming! I bought 1d tickets just to see McBusted because last time McFly came I couldn't see them.

[@twiligh4trinitya]

Gi, you don't have to spruce up for us XD I like you just the way you are! Anyway, great video! Love your vlogs so much.

[@LivLearnsLife]

Happy Birthday for next Thursday. I'm turning 25 next Friday. :) You've achieved an INCREDIBLE amount in 30 years, you're my inspiration to make my next 5 count. KZbin is for EVERYONE! That's the beauty of it. There is probably loads of packing to travel with a baby/toddler videos on KZbin? It usually has the answer to all life problems. ;)

[@MissZhaZha]

No, you're not too old to do youtube! KZbin and vlogging is for everyone, and you're so good at it xx

[@NHix33]

I can not seriously wait until you're in Adelaide. I really do want to meet you!! However, I'm not going to the One Direction so I don't know how that's all going to work out but fingers crossed!

[@mollyduncan3082]

don't worry Gi! the aquarium is actually really fun over here;) got some awesome penguins:) although the zoos are better:) ahah. have fun x

[@lizz6889]

Don't be silly you will never be too old for KZbin ! Xxxxx

[@ffionmason6683]

PLEASE DONT QUIT KZbin! You aren't to old at all!! Xx

[@sunofagun1855]

I'm from New Zealand but I've traveled to Australia many times. In February it will be in the middle of summer and it will be HOT. Very very hot. 30 degrees plus is not unusual. Also many bities like mosquitoes so bring an insect repellent for you and buzz because if you get bitten they can get quite bad fast. Not sure where you're staying but wherever you are make sure you go to the beaches!!! They're amazing and a great way too cool off. Hope you have an amazing time!!! Xx lots of hugs, girl from nz

[@thenappybookishbabe1741]

Haha That was my question I asked myself when I thought about starting my channel. KZbin is very much so dominated by the young adults in whatever community you look in, but trust you aren't too old. Glad I found your channel and have a Happy 30th birthday. :)

[@sarahcurtin2921]

Gi my boyfriend's nephew and his parents went to Australia as a 3 month year old and back as a 10 month. He was perfectly fine on the plane :) have a great trip and happy birthday!!

[@IzzieBizzie18]

You´re never too old to travel! There are people who finally go travelling when they are retired, and you are no way near that age! Just have fun and enjoy it :) Well I don't have children of my own but I have little bit experience with travelling with babies by plane (I've worked as an au pair), so I may have a tip for you: when the plane is going to land, give Buzz a pacifier or something to suck on so he won't be freaked out by plopping ears. He is still young so you won't have to bring a buckload of toys for him to keep entertained, just pack a couple of little toys, and if you are giving him formula, calculate how much you need to pack. A backpack is very handy to have as a diaperback, because you can carry it around very easily and you can get a lot of stuff in it. I hope this will help in any way, and otherwise: I love you videos! Greetings from the Netherlands ^^

[@antomosca93]

Hi Gi! I just watch this video and I can't belive you've come to Perú. How did I miss this? I am from Perú, and I really hope you like it here. keep doing this amazing videos. xx from Perú

[@Danni_rb]

Its actually been really hot in Sydney for the past 2 weeks, and we only really had 2 days of rain about a week ago (The first real rain in a while), so I hope Buzz would be okay dealing with the change in weather patterns...Although i cant say for other cities... So just be prepared for a typical Australian summer. Muggy, hot days, and possibly stormy nights. You have no idea how excited i am for all you guys to come back down here, seriously ive been waiting 8 years! And im also super bummed because I cant go to either One Direction concert because I cant afford to spend like 150 bucks to just see McBusted play a few songs, in really crappy seats (that is all thats left) Seriously i am bummed... so im secretly hoping the guys might squeeze in something else haha. But i do hope you have a meet up in Sydney if you are able? That would be amazing! In like Darling Harbour, or Circular Quay or the botanical gardens (around the opera house) or something. Although i dont know how much time you'll have in each place...?

[@harrietlees5483]

"It's not everyday you're in Australia" well it is for me, never left it in the whole 14 years of my life

[@TheAMELIOO58]

That's so cool your coming to Australia!!! If you come to Melbourne I will find you...I hope that didn't sound too creepy haha

[@MichelleWood]

Where in Australia are you coming to? The rain in Queensland is pretty intense at the moment, but not everywhere is that wet. My 2 year old hates wearing clothes when we visit QLD, and even if it's wet it will still be quite warm. As other people have said, during take off and landing let bubba suck on something (either breast, or bottle, or pacifier) as it helps stop their little ears popping. I find that 'baby wearing' is a godsend while traveling, holding bubba close helps them feel safe among all the new stimuli, keeps your hands free, and is SO much easier than a pram to navigate through airports etc. plus easier to pack! In terms of clothes, just bring the essentials, something for hot weather, something for cold, and enough spares to keep you going if you don't have access to a washing machine for a few days. There are some wonderful craft and food markets etc around, so you'll most likely end up buying him clothes here too! (pity you're not visiting Tasmania, we've got the best markets!) I also wanted to say, thank you for making blogs! I run a music school and creator space, am married to a composer, have a nearly 2 year old daughter and my own writing on the backburner, and your vlogs have been so encouraging to me. To have an insight into the balancing act that is the marriage of two highly creative people, and a baby... it's reaffirming to know there is someone else out there who know's the feels! (sorry, I'm not going well with words today, bubba is in the middle of 5 teeth coming through). On the off chance you do end up in Hobart and would like a baby play date for Buzz, Bubba and I would love to shout you a coffee!

[@aimeesadventures]

Pro tips! If you are going to Melbourne there are four seasons in one day. If you go to Perth It like 30-40 ALL the time. If its the northern parts of Australia it will be tropical like rain. The sun is always really strong over here so make sure you pick up some good sunblock if you plan to be outside a lot. OH and "Flip Flops" are "Thongs" over here =p

[@CarolynsReadingRamblings]

Happy Birthday! I don't think 30 is too old yo do videos because several book vloggers I follow are 30 or over and John and Hank Green still do vlogbrothers videos and they are both in their 30s so please keep making videos GI :)
