Falling in Love with Australia

[@ILikeGrapefruit]

'When you compare yourself to others, you are comparing yourself to their highlights, you're not seeing their struggles, you're not seeing what happens when the camera's turned off' this hit home for me, love you Poppy

[@WheresPoppy]

Awesome! I heard it in a church sermon and felt very touched by it and wanted to share it!

[@JasmineLipska]

That intro is incredible, and thank you for opening up about your story Poppy❤️ I’m so inspired by your strength and courage, things are only going to get better and better❤️💕 and wow...I’m so beyond touched by your words!😭 i feel the same about meeting another creator too❤️ I hope our paths will cross again! ❤️

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Jasmine! Actually you inspired me to share the emotional side in this video. I saw in one of your vlogs where you cried about leaving to travel solo and I loved it! It showed such a real side to travel, none of the BS and it was so relatable. I too cried my eyes out when I first left to travel too haha. Glad to have met you, you are truly an inspiration!

[@yin_yang888]

You had me at "Australia". Your best video yet Poppy. I nearly cried in the end :-(

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you Steve! ahhhh I want to go back haha

[@kbroten12]

Amazing video! Heading to Australia with my parents for the first time later this month and your videos have made us even more excited. Literally can't stop watching.

[@melissalayton213]

How was it? I miss my homeland every day.

[@fernandosaul8629]

I am Right now in Perth,and tomorrow I am flying to Adelaide. This is my second time here and this is a beautiful country with very kind people.

[@eddieh1530]

It was really good to see that your spirit was lifted, it has a good feel to it when you are happy. TY.

[@WheresPoppy]

Yes I agree, thanks!

[@timachinox6234]

You are not your best version in Australia, you are the best version of yourself because of everywhere you've ever been, because everything you've been experiencing in your whole journey makes who you become right now, love you as always, fantastic girl!!

[@WheresPoppy]

I agree but with those combined experiences, I feel my best version come to light when I'm in Australia

[@melissakeane3424]

@@WheresPoppy Me too Poppy! Just got back from Australia and did things I never did at home even though the opportunity was there. I lived my best life and was who I've always wanted to be in Australia (uninhibited, curious, adventurous, and full of love). Do you think you will work in Australia?

[@lawfulcannabis4370]

Now you know why Melbourne / Victoria has won the worlds most liveable city a number of times! Your videos are so beautiful and joyable to watch. Not just for those who have not been here, but to those of us who live here! You have made me fall in love with my city/state all over again and inspired me. Thank you! You have such a unique style that draws the viewer in. You are so talented and a pleasure to watch. You have done such a great job on highlighting parts of our country. Tourism Australia (or whatever it is called these days) should seriously look at your work and hire you for their o/s promotional pieces. Somehow I get the feeling that Australia will be calling you back for another visit. Till then, enjoy your travels and I will keep following your journey and sharing your video's.

[@LeighAnneMarie]

What an EPIC video, Poppy!! Your music choices throughout and your voiceover were just next level!

Making good decisions also means making some not good decisions and learning along the the way. Making mistakes is part of this process, however the biggest mistake is not to make a mistake. Well done Popps looks like you’ve found a happy place...

Thank you RespectOtherS! :)

[@37parman]

Brilliant work Poppy. Beautiful cinematography, poignant narration, and heartfelt emotion. This video blew me away. I hope your talent takes you where you find yourself. You clearly are always thinking that maybe you're not good enough. I hope you find what people who matter already know....you are plenty good enough. Be happy and enjoy the ride.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you!! I remember you guys from the beginning when I first started posting videos, so cool to see you still watching my videos :)

[@karlkuehn8908]

The Great Ocean Road is one of my favourite drives... if you ever make it back to that corner of the world, take a side trip to Tasmania. Bay of Fires, Capes Hauy, Raoul, and Pillar and Freycinet NP

[@WheresPoppy]

Will do :)

[@ktslittlefaith]

This video was your best. Thank you for sharing your heart. I'm so happy you were shown so much love and welcome. I am positive there is more of that around the next corner for you ❤️

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Katie! Yes I know, just wish that corner was in Australia haha

[@pepod12345]

Love this video and your real content. Australia is somewhere I have never visited but have always felt a special connection with. Can't wait to go there sooner than later (Also - just hiked the Inca Trial to Machu Picchu and your videos were a god send!)

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you Allison! Awesome, I loved that trip, one of my travel highlights!

[@tdb7992]

I've travelled all over the world, but Australia will always be my home. There's no country like it, People overseas are always too stressed and forget to connect with nature. For many Australians it's normal to go surfing before work, or to go bush waling on weekends. We have such a good quality of life here. People are still friendly with each other, total strangers will always help you, our air is clean and our sense of humour cannot be found anywhere else. I could happily live overseas, but Australia will always call me home.

[@WheresPoppy]

Totally agree! haha yeah exactly!

[@andgainingspeed]

Movie making chops are are getting slick. Keep packing the drone on your trips even if it doesn't make it in the bag every day. Some of the most compelling clips of of your videos are from the drone. Love the way it can provide scale and context.

[@Paladin-dk2ef]

Poppy, your videos are so inspiring! You are worthy of all good blessings. Thank you!

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you so much! :)

[@rudeawakening5792]

Beautiful, Poppy! And your frank discussion at the end of the downside of traveling we can all related to. That's why you're taking one for the team! No, really, you convey the feelings of travelers who make friends on the road and knowing that it will end up being fleeting, how flighty the traveling gig is, and how we should treasure every moment. You're so connected to the things you see and the people you meet. There's no one else we want to be doing these travel videos -- you have the ability to feel so deeply and can also convey the depth of your emotions. That's why your videos are so moving. Bravo, Poppy.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you Rick! That means a lot what you said thank you :)

[@itsally8318]

Australia is beautiful thank you for the amazing videos

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you Ally!

[@panayotisdamianakis3658]

Maybe lovely people in a lovely place were drawn to you because you appear to be so lovely. You've reflected your experiences admirably. With respect and kindness and you're leaving Australia wanting more. Apparently, that's what good entertainers do, leave them wanting more. Come back! There's a lot more to see lol. Well done Poppy. Thanks for sharing your most beautiful video. :)

[@robklob]

One of my favorite vlogs lately. A great insight into the Aussie lifestyle as well, although I am biased as I live in Melbourne! Great seeing how others see our country through their eyes and adventures. Keep it up Poppy, great content. A joy to watch.

[@IloveFreo]

Great video Poppy. You will just have to come back one day and have more adventures! And Western Australia has the best sunsets!

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you! I'm sure it does!

[@krisw8419]

I've only been binge watching your videos for a few weeks now but im fully engulfed and its time to speak up and not be so damn silent. This likely has been said many times by now but this videos intro not only shows your unique ability to grab someones attention but to do it in such a beautiful way even if the core of it is your own struggle. Intros like this are what we need in more youtube videos.There has only been a handful others that have captured my attention the way you have with the perfect music and voiceover and choice of wording, mostly your words, they are so familiar yet we dont know each other but it was like you were speaking to me/us. It was perfect. Reality is the best way to connect with people. Far too often these days everyone is trying to set the bar to everyone and in the drive we forget our own. You are real, you are honest and you are awesome. Dont let life or anyone in it change that . Keep up the awesome work. Life isnt always easy and the choices dont make it any better. We live for us and we make the best of everything with what we have and are handed. The perfection only comes from what we make of it and you are living a life, even with the struggles, that I wish i could only live. Free

[@dwyaneluo3695]

[@thalyasalazar3323]

Hey Poppy, I came upon your channel 7 months ago when I started doing research for my spring trip to China. Looking back now I feel witness to such a transformative time in your life. Thank you for sharing your light with all of us! I am also a young woman who loves to travel and can relate to you so much. This excerpt of your life in Australia has really touched my heart strings. I've been seeking the feeling of home for so long. I'm getting ready to move out of the states again in search for it. Ecstatically happy for you to have found it! ~Hugs

[@WheresPoppy]

Oh yeah i enjoyed my time in New Zealand but it was a very different experience, you'll see haha

[@watsonlj]

You made me so happy, you showed me my city..... I’ve been living in London for the past 15 yrs… I need to go home. Thank you and thank you for being honest. God Bless

[@WheresPoppy]

Yeah I don't know why you'd ever leave this place haha!

[@Aussieedits-uo9nz]

Wow Poppy what a fantastic video. You have experienced one of the great countries of the world and also some of the great cities of the world. Yes us Aussies are cool dudes and we like to be friendly and experience life. I loved the koala, the opening of the bottle with the drill and the scenery. Australia is a country of a lot of space which is mostly untouched and free to explore. As you have seen it offers something for everyone. I have lived and worked overseas as well as travelled all over the world and I must say I always love coming home to Australia. Sure you may have left but we still see you and follow you on your adventures and you are in our thoughts. Hope not too long till you come back and say G’Day and enjoy the life here.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Ben! yeah the bottle opener drill thing was so ridiculous haha...I'll definitely come back one day!

Yes I agree...the beaches in Perth are so much better than that in Melbourne.

[@WheresPoppy]

Don't worry I plan on it! Especially Perth, it was on my list but I ran out of time

[@PathfinderGregg]

A koala bear in your campsite. How cool. On a more serious note, I am glad this year is going better for you than last. As you know, life if full of highs and lows;and, to get through the lows you have to be tough. It is the lows that make us stronger. And, on a less serious note, even though I've said this before, that hat is so you! Looks great on you. Perhaps you will get back Poppy.

Poppy, everytime I watch your videos, there is a smile and hope coming back. I feel the exact same feeling as you do where it comes to excitement and the time to say goodbye. Since I came back to Canada from China, I realized how lost I am in Canada. Being abroad helped the be happier and be myself. It is true that there is a place in the globe where you will feel completely yourself and connected to that culture. I wish I could do like you do. I need to figure where my next adventure will be and when I can start it. When I look at the memories of China, It breaks my heart to see how happy and alive I was compared to now. I love your videos and Ill keep watching every single one of them. Thanks Poppy, you’re the best.
