[@Kenshinbaby]

"so we got married." 🤣 best line ever. congratulations!

[@722garage9]

but first... genuinely one of the best 'I want to share something with you' videos I've ever seen. Superb

[@kennethcampbell7263]

I loved the Oh I live in Hong Kong now.

[@bradleypryor5586]

My wife and I said that to our families a couple years ago. It was fun to see their reactions.

[@snoopydjanddj]

Mike, that was one of the most genuine and heart felt KZbin video I've seen. You really spoke to your audience and I think we all now connect with you on a whole new level. Anyway, congrats on your new life adventure. I think we're all hooked for the long run so keep it coming my friend! We'll be watching!

[@Andrew-nw4np]

???????????????????????????????????You have it completely wrong. I believe most of us watch the channel because we like you. The place you are visiting is secondary. You are the content we come to see. You come across as a friend and relatable. I feel like I know you and we are on a trip together. I even ended my wife’s Valentine’s Day Card with “I don’t know where I’m going next, but I know I want you there with me” She laughed so hard! We are both big fans!! You are the reason we watch! Congratulations to both you and Nicole on getting married! Wishing you a happy, prosperous life together!!

[@DownieLive]

That's so nice to hear! Haha, that's a great Valentine's Card ;) Thanks Andrew

[@lynndandelion]

Congratulations! 🥂And thanks for the update. Whoosh! That's a lot of update. I'm happy for you both. As always, thank you for taking us along on your adventures.

[@DownieLive]

You bet Lynn! Thanks!

[@barbb]

Congratulations Mike and Nicole! I am sorry I missed the invite...wink wink.... look at all the presents you missed out on. Truly, I do wish you all the best in the future. You are part of my extended family.. I live all these adventures through you. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@DownieLive]

That’s so sweet! Thanks so much Barb!

[@StarlordStavanger]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@aeroAdvocate]

Welcome to HK! I haven’t been called up in 7 years and I think the prospects of them calling foreigners dwindles more and more.

[@JanitorIsBack]

seriously extended family? that is lame

[@tszyuenyip2392]

Congratulations to you and Nicole! I'm a Hongkonger and it's really a pleasant surprise to know that you're staying here. Hong Kong isn't really that big but there are great places for cycling, hiking and exploring. Hope you enjoy your time here.

[@VishnuKamath]

This felt like a heart felt message. Hope you and Nicole will move back to Pacific North West in a few years. Enjoy Asia!!

[@tolson57]

Mike, I can't speak for anyone but me. I feel a connection with you that goes beyond just another KZbinr I like to watch. I think it is because of a shared connection to Vancouver. While I am American, I have a strong connection with Vancouver, it is where my mother grew up and where my parents were married. So, I am very happy for you and Nicole, and I am looking forward to continuing to follow your adventures. PS During COVID you did videos about Vancouver. I hope that after you get settled, you can do something similar about Hong Kong.

[@DownieLive]

Thanks so much. And great idea!

[@peterlundskow4061]

I agree, I'm an American as well but, Vancouver is near the top of my list as super great livable cities. Congratulations! I will miss all your adventures around North America!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

0:54 One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. (I’m on a roll today, I love it)

[@turningthetables]

loving the hair style you’re rocking

[@DownieLive]

Thanks buddy! It was time for a change.

[@omgdiepls]

Congrats on your marriage! It's great to see your life update. I hope you have a blast in Hong Kong!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

13:53 Omg imagine ‘Jury Duty: HK’. WE WANT THAT SHOW

[@neom0nk]

Bro. The channel might not be about you... but YOU ARE THE CHANNEL!!! lol, ofc we care about what you're up to, you're Downie, and that's why we watch. Love you man! :)

[@PokhrajRoy.]

6:21 Shocked and disappointed you’re not in a Canadian tuxedo but you’re in your signature look, which is still awesome.

[@mstrdiver]

Mike - Wow, what a major life step for you both! Does this jury duty roll inclusion also make you for any kind of military draft or anything like that should they have one? Are you still a Canadian citizen and now a resident of HK? How does that work? Give us the goods on living and traveling in and around Hong Kong. How expensive is it, shopping, hotels, travel in HK, eating, sightseeing, restrictions, odd laws, etc., essentially, the total living package. Will your sister and family be visiting and traveling with you around HK at some point? Best of luck to you both in this new adventure.

[@monicasgh68]

Congratulations! I wish you and Nicole a lifetime of love and happiness. This couldn't of happened to a sweeter couple. Much love to you both!

[@adventureswithphil2560]

Dude! Congratulations to you and Nicole! When my wife and I toast, we always say "To our adventure!". We moved from Vancouver to Metro New York. Big move for my wife's career. I get everything you're talking about. All the best to you, and To Your Adventure!

[@DeborahCarlston]

Congratulations! My late husband and I got married for expediency after living together, just the two of us, on a beach by a Clerk of Courts in Virginia (our State in the US) and never regretted not spending tens of thousands on a wedding. We were together almost 20 years until he died and our wedding was perfect for us. So smart choice for you two. I visited Hing Kong and loved it. I had a brother who lived there with his wife, and my nephew was born there. They are often sorry they ever left. They owned a 35' sailboat there and used to sail down to Phuket. So much you can do there as a home base. Plus this explains the location of your newest videos. Honestly, I think you'd probably done much of what you could with trains in the US and Canada. So this is a good career move for you both. Much luck, love and prosperity. Congrats to Nicole on her promotion too. You two make a handsome couple and a good team. 💚

[@barbaralienhard3490]

Congratulations!!!! I'm sitting in the laundry at the marina (yes, I live on a sailboat) doing my laundry with Tru Earth and tell everyone about it. It's so easy because I'm carrying laundry or dinghing laundry and no more heavy bottles of detergent. And it works great!! Thank you for telling us about it. I'm excited for your new life in Hong Kong and with Nicole. I'll be watching!!!

[@Marty-Mc]

So happy for you both, nice suprise for us all Mike, many happy years together and all the best.

[@edwardyu236]

Congrats Mike and Nicole! Especially as a Hong Konger fan who now lives in North America (Stateside albeit with some Canadian connections)! Hope the two of you continue to have a fantastic time in Hong Kong and all over the world!

[@thekweskinreport]

Congrats Mike & Nicole - and we DO care about YOU! Thank you for sharing so openly.

[@DownieLive]

I appreciate that!

[@heathermcdermid3673]

Congratulations, that was quite an update. The best to you and Nicole.

[@andywillis2650]

Wow, big news Mikie !! Many congratulations to you & Nicole :) Wish you both all the best for your time in Hong Kong !!

[@jameshaddan8538]

Congratulations you two! This is amazing news and I’m thrilled to see your content from Hong Kong. I’ve only been once…in 2019, and I absolutely fell in love with the city. This video, alone, has brought back many happy memories. Thanks!!

[@TheYendor24]

Congratulations to you both. Thank you for the transparency. We are very happy for you both and wish you the absolute best. The videos will crop when they drop. We will be here waiting no matter what, buddy.

[@Supakoopaparatroopa]

HUGE update! Congratulations, Mike! Some big thoughts and moves in this one, and I'm here for all of it! I'm also high-key excited for you to be based in Hong Kong - looks like a fun place! Bring us through HK for one of your videos! I'd love to see what you think of the place!

[@celisecollie1557]

Mike, all of this is so exciting! And you are a huge reason I, and I'm pretty sure most of us, watch. You have such a fun and upbeat perspective, and your joy is infectious. You draw us in, and it's great to know that you'll be bringing us along for even more fun. Keep enjoying the Hong Kong life!

[@marypercoski3326]

Congratulations, Mike & Nicole! So happy for you both on the new leg of your life's journey together. Thanks for sharing your story. Best of luck in all you do!

[@seznz]

Thanks for the update & congrats on everything. I don't envy those on YT and not wanting to share too much but also having people who want to know things.

[@Niteskate1]

Congratulations Mike and Nicole, I wish you both all the best. I enjoyed getting up to date and I look forward to your videos each week, kind of a Saturday morning ritual for me here. Its always a pleasure to experience the world through the eyes of Downie Live and see places I would probably never get to other wise.

[@karencheney2347]

Congratulations Nicole and Mike-what great adventures are ahead for both of you!

[@BrianaMichelleMeyer]

This brought me so much JOY! Congratulations Mike and Nicole! I started watching your channel in 2020 when I was still living in South Korea. I moved back to the states in 2022, but your channel has brought me so much joy with travel. I miss Lunar New Year though.

[@emiliejoshi]

Congratulations to you and Nicole!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you so much for this incredible update video, Mike!

[@deborahthornton502]

My husband, Don and I are so happy for you both-CONGRATULATIONS!!! We have been watching you since you started. Enjoy Hong Kong and your life together. Wishing you all the best!!!

[@davesoucier5531]

Thank you for opening up to us and sharing this part of yourself with all of us. Congratulations to Nicole and you on this chapter.

[@erniessoloadventures]

This video is the reason why I love your channel! The transparency on what's going on, but you are still living your private life. It's cool that you are so honest & open and where you are and the future of the channel. I can't wait to hear about the projects & adventures that you are going on.

[@dmbthegurl]

Wow that was quite the update! Thanks for sharing it with us all. Firstly congratulations to you and Nicole! Amazing and exciting changes in the past 6 months. It’s nice to hear about these but in truth it’s certainly no requirement to share these details with viewers. Your life is your life and you should only share what you want to show. I’m here because I like the overall narrative you usually convey and the travels are interesting. So you do you and I’ll be here every week. P.S. watching D2S I was smiling thinking about your trip to Bahrain and zandvoort

[@wildwheelsdarin]

I've always considered you as the brand, Mike. Doesn't matter what you're up to, where you're living, or what the name of your channel is... I'm here because of you. I enjoy the content you produce. You've also been a champion for mental health. Your involvement with WIRTH has impacted many, including myself (thank you!). Congrats to you and Nicole on this next chapter! I'm sure it's a relief to reveal your secret... lol

[@kimroos3008]

Congratulations on your wedding and your new adventure. Your authenticity always resonates through each video. Thank you for taking us with you.

[@largeboss81]

Congratulations to you and Nicole!!!What a great video. Thank you for all you do and opening up your life to all of us. Blessings.

[@phil1980a]

Such awesome news! Always here with you for the journey. Hope you both enjoy your new adventures, and thanks for bringing us along!

[@sarahrichards9250]

So happy for you. It's wonderful to see you doing the things you want to do.

[@carolinalouback6035]

Congrats 🥳💌 Loved hearing your personal update, and by the way we don’t watch your videos just for the subject that is being shown but for who and how the story is being told ☺️

[@michelea3366]

Congratulations to you both and thank you for the updates. I always appreciate having updates like this because you are human and have a life outside of being a youtuber! I'm super happy for you and excited for everything you have coming!!

[@DownieLive]

Thank you so much!

[@alexolzenak4041]

Dude congrats man!!! We do care about your personal life and love seeing you and Nicole so happy! Favorite channel on KZbin by miles man! Excited to see what you have going next!

[@ms_foodaholic7021]

Welcome to HK Mike ! I've been following your channel since 2021. I was raised in Vancouver and have been working and living in HK for over 10 years. You're going to love the city and traveling around Asia. Enjoy and can't wait till you explore everywhere

[@DownieLive]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@astralgrizzlytwitch]

Beautiful. Thank you for being honest, open and understanding of your viewers. And also for keeping your private life a level of private. Congrats to you and Nicole. Keep up your life, your adventures and all the joy from the crazy times of living overseas

[@xxgazillionxx]

Congratulations, Mike!! I really like the idea of you posting little snippets/stories live of your everyday life and when you're going on a trip. I really hope you and Nicole are enjoying HK! I grew up on HK and now living in Toronto - I'd love to be back for another visit :) Thanks for always sharing with us!

[@Talucalake]

I’m really grateful for you- I think most of us know the social pressure that you both must feel. You both are incredibly kind for sharing intimate details. I guess the audience demands authenticity - which feels a little unfair to you both. Much love and appreciation

[@Quince828]

So good to see you again and get updated on everything changing in your life. And congratulations on your marriage. You say that the videos aren’t about you but so often i find myself sharing your wonder at the places you visit and living vicariously through you. You have a “don’t miss an episode” channel.

[@bigfelladave7897]

Thanks Mike, keep enjoying this new chapter in your life

[@melbclayman]

Dude, I send so many people to your KZbin channel. Now I can send even more people your way. Insane. Conratulations to you both on getting married! Let me know if you're ever in Melbourne.

[@DownieLive]

Awesome! Thanks so much!

[@eviegivens7572]

OMG I am so excited for you!!! Congrats to you and Nicole!

[@TheJttv]

Congratz on the marriage and moving. and I really liked this rough just chatting style.

[@jeevjagostudios]

Congrats to you and Nicole! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.

[@iJMultiplication]

I just had this big smile on my face as soon as I figured where this video was heading. Congratulations Mike. Really love your content and wish you all the best. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@sparshpawar286]

Congratulations, Mike and Nicole. I love your videos and thanks for updating ❤🎉

[@dailybekfast]

[@stevos63]

Congratulations Mike and Nicole and well done on the move. Hope you have a great time and thank you for all the videos. Look forward to seeing more in the future.

[@justingreen4769]

[@crex8459]

Congratulations to you both!! What a cool new adventure, and very excited to see what’s in store for this channel!

[@georgeattala7640]

CONGRATS TO BOTH YOU!!!!!! I think you should be less shy about your personal life! I know you may think people don’t care but, we are all invested in you and love you dearly! Stay awesome Mike❤❤❤

[@MeatZer0]

I can't believe i've been subscribed since 2018 when Mike did a video on Fernie Ski resort, i went with my school and looked up a KZbin video on it, he was the first that came up. I also remember the videos around Vancouver during the pandemic. Time flies but the videos keep getting better!

[@DownieLive]

That's so cool to hear! Thanks for sticking with me!

[@christopheroliver7589]

I'm so very happy for you, Michael and Nicole! Congratulations on your move to Hong Kong. Good luck and Godspeed!!

[@Bozthecat]

Congrats to Mike and Nicole! Can’t wait to see what happens next.

[@ICantThinkOfAFunName45]

Congratulations. I can't wait to see what Hong Kong brings you, I'm visiting solo in November so always on the look out for what I need to see and do in new places.

[@west.coast.hiking]

Oh wow , huge news ! And yes like most viewers I'm sure, I love hearing the personal side. Also exciting to hear that IG will be in the moment.

[@nonmedicinal]

Mike! Congrats to you both! 🎉🎉🎉 Honestly this change is what myself and I’m sure most of your viewers have been wanting too! Yeah, the locations and the place you go and how you get there is why we started watching. But we’re still here because we enjoy watching you have fun.

[@scottgiacolett7767]

I am so happy for you guys!! I love this so much. I can't wait to see what is in store for the both of you. You both are so likeable and such good people. All the best and God Speed!!❤❤❤

[@davidgodfrey1815]

Thank you for bringing us up to date, and congratulations on love, marriage and new adventures. How exciting, this will put you close to amazing adventures, and I hope you take us along on many of them.

[@alaskacanoe6837]

we live in Alaska and watch your you tube channel and don’t miss any of them, yet some of them we don’t watch all the way thru… and some we watch twice ! Yet we always click the thumbs up because we want you to succeed !!!! You seem very honest in your emotions and that is what draws us to your work!! Keep in the battle and folks will let you know what works and what doesn’t !! It’s like an artist … he may starve if he only paints for himself….he needs to paint stuff others like …so somebody will buy his work!!

[@DigThisDiva34]

Congratulations 🎉🍾 We are definitely excited for you and what’s to come. ❤

[@bevie_dnice]

OMG!!! Congratulations!!! That announcement but a BIG SMILE on my face!!! So happy for you both for y'sll's new life adventures.

[@connorpoultney4400]

Awesome to hear you’re doing well and thank you for the update . Always look forward to your next video and next adventure whatever the topic may be. Best of luck to you both

[@didisinclair3605]

Oh my heart sank at the beginning when you brought up Nicole... I thought 'they've broken up, and Mike moved to Hong Kong to get away from the heartbreak'... SO happy that I was SO wrong!!! Congratulations!!! And as others have said, the best, most personal KZbin post ever. Onward!!!

[@jennifercook92]

OMG CONGRATS YOU TWO! (We’ve been waiting for this announcement)

[@sarahr2919]

Hi Mike, love the channel, and CONGRATULATIONS to you and Nicole! Separating work and personal is hard and I (personally speaking) am happy to wait a bit longer for content. I have found your videos entertaining and so informative with many fun facts plus details on the areas or mode of transport. I very much appreciate the hardship in putting out video content and the time it takes. Thanks to you and your team for all your hard work in making content for us to watch!! So excited for you and Nicole to take a new venture even though this will not be part of your channel's content. I still hope you both make the most of the experience. Please keep making awesome videos for the channel. I would love to hear about how you find the experience living there or about how different or not it is in Hong Kong. Best of luck and Congrats again!!

[@wurstkasescenario]

You bamboozled us so many times in this video. I am bamboozled. I've been subbed for years, and you are the only KZbinr that hasn't changed who the are. You're genuine, and I love it. Congrats on everything. The marriage. The visa. The new story in your life. Smash it!

[@DownieLive]

Thank you so much! I appreciate hearing that.

[@josephcimino9611]

Congratulations Mike and Nicole! Best wishes in the future. Love the adventures, keep up the great work.

[@bluej511]

Congratulations to both of you. Health, wealth and happiness. Can't wait to see what you come up with in Asia. Huge move, excited for the content.

Congratulations to you and Nicole. I wish you both a very happy life together and many years to come. I am originally from Hong Kong but settled in Boston, MA, 48 years ago. I followed your travels everywhere and especially enjoyed all the train trips across the US and Canada. Now, welcome to my hometown-Hong Kong. I look forward to seeing you doing some visits or on-foot tours in Hong Kong.

[@DownieLive]

Thank you so much!
