leaving college, flying home, & seeing my family for the first time in a year

[@TiaChitty]

I hope you're enjoying the video!! because there's a bit of background noise at the start, I spent ages writing captions to accompany the video, and I've just realised they haven't exported and uploaded properly :( so my intention was to have captions but hopefully you can still hear me okay! it's just for the first minute :))

[@lilyfromBrissy]

Great seeing you back in Australia and with your family. Your dad looks like quite a character and your sister is very much like you. The haircut looks good. Your flight home was such a contrast to last years with what looks like a full flight, no room to stretch out. Not having to quarantine this time is definitely a bonus. Enjoy yourself and catching up with your family and friends.

Welcome home Tia ✈️ it is so beautiful to see you back with you family and seeing you all have so much fun, you have such a beautiful family and always wishing you all the very best, wishing Poppy and Noel all the best with their studies and your Dad is an absolute riot, always love your vlogs and always stay fun ♥️

Long haul flights are normally the big planes which need larger gates. These gates are often the newer ones that were added on to the terminals so thats why they are far. I was on a plane once out at LAX where not only we had to walk far to the gate we were then bus outed to a gate in the middle of the airport

[@reneepope-munro8115]

I laughed out lout at that “definitely NOT”, so nice to see the hometown represented on your vlogs. It’s easy to forget how lucky we are here until you see it through this sort of lens. Amazing shots of the footy, hope your American watchers fall a little bit in love with Melbs from watching 😌

[@megiemoo398]

Finally watching your videos after months and noticed you’re now in Melbourne which is where I live. I’m so happy for you that you get to be home with your family

[@Holly.mac1]

Wow the Dreamtime game at the G would have been an amazing experience! I’m personally a Collingwood supporter ahaha but how cool is the atmosphere there! welcome home Tia, I bet you’re loving being back home!

[@TiaChitty]

it was a fantastic experience, and such a good atmosphere!! thank you Holly! 🥰🥰

[@eloisewebster5027]

Glad to hear that Noelle is doing PPE somewhere! Hope she enjoys her uni experience xxx

[@Anastasia-xr7bd]

You are amazing! I really like every video on this channel! I'm very interested in what you say on camera and show your life without any filters! Thank you so much!!!

[@oliviadenizcetin1199]

I am so happy you made it home safely Tia! Enjoy your summer break ❤️

[@janinerogerson2938]

My hometown too 🤟 love Melbourne!!!! Enjoy your break - your Dad is hilarious

[@eafj90]

Doha airport is so modern! I loved how enthusiastic Poppy’s welcome home was. Would you believe I used to do squash as my school sport? I was never any good 😂 and my mum was always concerned I’d end up getting a ball to the eye and going blind. I’m impressed that you’re learning to like coffee. I’ve never liked it, and people keep telling me I’ll never last as a paramedic if I don’t drink coffee, but I figure I’ve got this far… haha.

[@aileenbrown7421]

When do you head back yale university in August 2022

[@alannahdonohoe5789]

Loved this video Tia. I flew home from Ohio state university to Ireland a few weeks ago. It’s brilliant being home but stressful getting everything organised 😂😂

[@hez_am_i2448]

woot woot! bit of a bummer your basically missing summer for 4 years - but at least our winters are milder even in Melbourne

[@tootsfour956]

You and your family are amazing. Thank you for this video! BLESSINGS

[@raemicharles6407]

what song did u use @ 6:30

[@ashaneifer]

Another cool thing to think about is that on this trip you were basically racing the sun home.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Happy Sunday night and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is amazing I loved your channel and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@IsabelleCulgan]

Welcome home!! The most iconic part of this vlog is you getting to Melb and becoming a coffee lover 😅🥰

[@KatherinefortheWIN]

Can someone please tell me who sings the song that's playing towards the end of the song with the lyrics "the darkest hour is just before dawn". I did try googling it but it came up with several possible artists.

[@Roro_rowyouboat]

Finallyyyyyyyyy i waited for soooooooo long for this upcoming video

[@debraguk]

love hearing new words or pronunciations of words from Australia. Skol/scull.

[@eugeniarodriguez3401]

So happy for you Tia!! Have a wonderful break with your family! Could you please tell me the name of the songs you used? They’re beautiful but I can’t seem to find them….😊

[@amaega]

Naw! I live around the corner from Johnny's! Hope you enjoy your break 🙂

[@TiaChitty]

wow, what a small world!! thank you 🥰

[@elizabethw.9042]

Glad you were able to go home Tia!

[@taleesejanet-maree1497]

I'm excited to watch this!!!!!

[@taylahburles3302]

did your family move to melbourne? i swear you were from perth

[@lilyfromBrissy]

I believe that her dad lives in Melbourne and her mum lives in Perth. (From watching Tia's previous videos.)

[@ellebray]

Not me thinking you were a Perth girl! Haha. Welcome back to Aus!

[@listay1]

Both! One parent lives in each area.

[@anitafaulhaber9810]

Travel Tip for the next time flying. Bring an empty refillable Bottle and just do refills at public waterfountains. Thats what i usually do. Less expensiv. Greetings from Germany

[@moglaude]

She said they were shut due to covid restrictions

[@anitafaulhaber9810]

@@moglaude ah okay. Some how missed that information. In germany tap water is really good water. We don't have public fountains that often - even though they start to be build more often now. So going to a rest room and fill you bottle up at the sink would have been an option in germany.

[@SK-eg6cw]

Hi Tia, Thanks so much for sharing your amazing flight home from NYC🗽 to Melbourne. 🛩 I flew from Germany to Aistralia directly 🦘🦘🦘 and I thought this was long. You should wear your hair in a pony tail more often. I thinks this suits you very well. Great to see you are spending time with your dad and sister in Melbourne. We have summer here in the Northern hemisphare and I enjoy it very much. 🏝 Take care and have a good time during your summer/winter break. 😊🏖

[@anitafaulhaber9810]

Wow. You got a direct flight? I went from Frankfurt to Singapur to Brisbane within 23,5hrs back in 2003 with a 4hr break in Singapur Transitarea. Greetings from Frankfurt area

[@sgarcia2640]

Wow Tia, love and spending time with family is therapy. It makes my heart full watching you your family have fun and show love for each other. It’s beautiful! 😻. How old is your sister? I’m confused. Is she attending college? Will Noelle stay local or leave the country. It would be interesting if she attended Yale with you, but I know how big that is and she may not want to come this far.

[@TiaChitty]

what a beautiful comment, thank you so much!! spending time with my family makes me so genuinely happy 🥰 noelle is 2 years younger than me & will be starting uni later this year! she may be leaving the country, but won’t be at yale with me xx

[@beckym5730]

Enjoy your videos hope you have more time to make more.

[@itsjustellie1999]

I love your accent! Your so pretty

[@livluu]

hey tia! i recently discovered your channel and have been BINGING your videos! i was just wondering (sorry if this is outdated) but when studying, are your notes (in the display folders) seperate to your binders? like do your binders not hold the notes that you use for studying for exams? (sorry the questions are phrased horribly ahah)

[@Holly.mac1]

Make the most of the good coffee here before you go back to America ahahaha 😅😅

[@TiaChitty]

hahaha I know!!!!

[@damianbridge9514]

Why not fly via LAX?

[@aussieland1783]

Ice coffees are the bomb 😍 you should try them too.

[@ronjasmile7946]

Wait so in the US you can't like order a taxi? Like call or book one online?

[@lilyfromBrissy]

I think that a taxi from New Haven directly to JFK is very expensive hence the train trip to reduce costs.

[@emmaellerman7771]

You can in most cities, but in big cities like NYC it’s a little different I think.

[@PeterMurphy71]

You can, by calling or with an app. But it's tricky around train stations / airports etc because they have taxi ramps.

[@tahsinahmed8991]

omg finally

[@julias8538]

I have really enjoyed watching your Yale journey Tia. I was a bit concerned that you left your little bag on the ground in New Haven and New York, with your passport and money in it, whilst your back was turned speaking to the camera. Please be careful.

[@TiaChitty]

thank you so much! don’t worry, they were in front of me & I was making sure to watch them and was sort of protecting them with my legs :)) my back just needed a rest from carrying them!

[@saraesmailii7477]

hello tia my name is sara...i want fo get fund from yale university as master as clinical psychology child and young. could you help please? give me information or any advice your own

[@cassiescriven7797]

Girl get yourself some suitcases with four wheels much easier to move compared to two wheeler suitcases. :)

[@davidparnell1637]

Hi tia

[@isabelfranklin5091]

[@stephanieperez578]

Girl , you’re brave to leave your purse on the floor in New Haven and NYC.

[@inymtynm]

Yeah right, especially cause she said her passport all her money and phone was in it
