[@VondaSims]

So glad for you that you had a redo! So beautiful there. Thank you. ❤

[@heytheredelilah16]

Literally you’re one of the first people I followed on KZbin, the comfort you bring my soul. It’s like watching a sister living her life in the best pov imaginable.

[@unabruja624]

Michel you look so genuinely happy with your life and your relationship and I feel so happy that you have jordy in your life, encouraging you to talk about your feelings and open up, it's lovely to see how much you two flourish together

[@adriennewithington6115]

Hello Michel! I just wanted to share that I have been watching your videos the past few years, and you are the first person that inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and travel solo and with friends/family! Since then, I have traveled to Nashville, Austin TX, New Hampshire, Boston, New York, Utah, Idaho, then ventured to Europe to Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and Sweden! Currently typing this from Stockholm :-) Thank you for being a positive light and inspiration, it has helped me and I am helping others get out of their comfort zone as a result. Love from Portland, OR!

[@VSFashion89]

You made me so emotional during your talk. I love how you share and connect with all of us! Thank you for making it a human connection and thank you for everything you do and share for us! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me! 🥺🤍

[@christinaann79]

I’m so glad you bought some pieces to ALWAYS remember this special trip. I love seeing your soul on fire like this. Probably one of my favorite videos of yours. Just happiness & love.

[@MichelJanse]

Aw, thank you so much!!!

[@hannahm153]

Your Portland Maine vlog was the first video of yours I saw. I’ve been watching off and on for years and something I appreciate about you is how you manage to transcend differences. I’m not a religious person, I’m not much of a foodie, and I’m not really into clothes or fashion. But I still enjoy watching your vlogs and find joy with your joy! And it makes me SO happy to see how much joy you get from Portland Maine. (I live just north of Portland and spent a few good years of my 20s in Portland). Wishing you well! ❤

[@ashleybeckner393]

I think this is one of my favorite videos from you. To see your giddy excitement & joy of such a special place for you was a delight to witness ❤

[@maddiecastle8420]

I loved getting to meet you and Jordy at the coffee shop meet up!! You are both such genuine and kind people! I love seeing how much you love this city and Maine, it honestly helps me appreciate living here so much more. Maine truly is a magical place and I hope you get your dream of having a house here one day ❤️🌲🦞🫐

[@MichelJanse]

MADDIE! Hi my gal, I loved getting to hang with you. Can’t wait until one day when we are neighbors ;-)

[@sonialuna4357]

I absolutely love your channel! You’ve always been such an inspiration. Hearing your talk at minute 11 was so raw and real. Your authenticity and vulnerability is what keeps me coming back consistently. Keep doing what you’re doing ❤

[@valerielinares2068]

It's so beautiful that you get to share this full circle moment with Jordy! So powerful and meaningful to you. I'm happy for you. 😊

[@psk8900]

Thank you for this beautiful vlog. Definitely feel the feels - they’re not silly. I completely get why Portland is so important to you. I have a place like this in London. It’s a park I went to almost daily when I lived there. I moved to that part of London after a really bad breakup. Walking in this park helped me reconnect with myself. It helped me find peace and rediscover inner strength. Later it helped me through the pandemic and became a place my now finance and I loved. It is my sanctuary and when I visit London and go there , I tear up every time. Also please try and blend out the negativity. The community that supports you is here for you and appreciates you for who you are.

[@Vickiboe592]

I was teary as I watched, feeling your JOY💕

[@AudraLeigh01]

Seeing you have the best day ever (ok, 2nd best), and also have that be your honeymoon redo was heartwarming ❤

[@NGD1953]

LOVE Portland, Maine!!! 😃 I feel exactly like you about Portland! I’m from Mississippi and when I go to Maine, It just feels magical! I’m a 71 year old grandmother. The first time I went there, I felt like I’d been there before. Strange. It’s like being in another country! I fly into Portland and stay a few days. Then, I’ve gone to out Grey Haven’s Inn, Georgetown Island. It’s another wonderful place for the soul. Eating fresh lobster by the water at Five Mile Island is the best, too! 😃 I’ve met some of the best people in my whole life there! Thanks so much for sharing some of my favorite places! You’re making me want to make another trip back! ❤️

[@JennaThanhvan]

Michel, you have such a beautiful heart. I love your videos. You bring me so much joy and I love how real you are. Keep going!!! You’re one of my favorite youtubers

[@JessieLHale]

Michel! You were such a breath of fresh air to meet!! Thank you for your genuine heart and joy! 🤍 it’s so beautiful to know how much you care about your community, the feelings are entirely mutual and I am so excited to see what is in store for you both 🤍🥹

[@mildreddiaz6435]

Michel, thank you for sharing your love for the little things , it’s wonderful to see you beaming with so much happiness.fills my heart ❤ God bless

[@annasims3894]

Your happiness and enthusiasm radiates through this vlog. So glad to share this experience with you and Jordie. You both made memories you will treasure forever. Now I want to travel to Maine. Blessings

[@mizztravel9309]

Thanks for sharing yall remoon I love your and Jordy's love. Thanks Jordy for loving our girl❤

[@tinacoomer7326]

I absolutely loved this one! I ❤ your travel vlogs. I have been following you since covid. The main reason is that you are real so never stop sharing.

[@emmac5350]

OMG I LOVE your videos especially these kinds they bring me so much peace and enjoyment!! Thanks for sharing a piece of your life with us and your adventures !!

[@libby527]

I appreciate your vulnerability & how much you share and encourage us through your videos ❤

[@amadz89]

I love how happy you are. Looks like it’s time to add moving to Maine to the life plan for you guys!

[@marijakorolijabenazic1126]

I found your channel watching Maine vlogs and I'm so happy I did. Although I'm much older(45) I really enjoy content you make. Love from Croatia ☺️

[@Katdash11]

I died laughing at 23:58 when Jordy starts laughing at you saying “well obviously our wedding day was the best day of my life” what a hilarious real moment 💞😂

[@amp35203]

It’s been really amazing to follow you through this journey and see you so happy now. You earned it. Can you please try recreating the hot lemonade at home? That sounds so good!

[@TheCurlyGirlys]

I never comment on your channel, but I love watching your journey for many reasons. I have a daughter about your age, and she also deals with an autoimmune situation. I also enjoy seeing your Mom, Dad, and sister. I think I started watching you because I live in the Austin area and was interested in your "Sip and Thrift" series you did here in Austin. Please keep sharing and I am grateful you show us all your various feelings and adventures.

[@karenwyand7884]

I love that you love where I live. It’s so fun to watch you experience Portland with such joy. It makes me want to play tourist for the day. You always have a friend in me when you come to Southern Maine … or any part of Maine for that matter. Xoxo

[@chefmarianrene5251]

michel and jordy i so appreciate the humanity and love you radiate....yout lights so SHINE 💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡

[@ariellegallagher5002]

I've always wanted to visit Maine. Watching this has me wanting to visit even more! I love how much emotion you expressed and it was all joy and happiness. ❤

[@MichelJanse]

🥹 you’ll love it if you do. It truly feels like magic 🤍

[@ariellegallagher5002]

​@MichelJanse one day! It is on my to-do. 😊 I love experiencing these new adventures through you because you are genuine about the little moments that are so much more. Love these and I adore you and Jordy! He's brought out all the happiness in you.

[@tatymac21]

This boutique hotel wasn’t that exciting to illicit that much enthusiasm? Girl what are you on ? 😂

[@carleykatherine]

you + jordy make the internet a better place

[@MichelJanse]

You’re so kind 🥹🥰

[@brokuli514]

Seeing pride flags in the background and hearing you talk about your new friends made me really happy and feeling safe on your channel! 😍🌈

[@MichelJanse]

@@brokuli514 so happy you feel safe here, that’s what I hope for 🥹🤍

[@carriek4038]

What a special vlog! I am so glad you were able to have a re-do in Portland and it’s been so meaningful! ❤🙏🏼❤️

[@mariannedressler6784]

You do KZbin so well. Your genuine personality shines through!!! It’s so fun to see you having such a wonderful time❤❤❤❤. You are Jordy are such a lovely match.

[@antheasvlog]

It's so good to see how HAPPY you are, especially in this vlog!! you two definitely have to buy a little house in Maine some day 😍 you glow up in this city

[@KimsaLittleofAlot]

That 360 top view of Portland was amazing. Sent me cool vibe chills!

[@cassipierce4632]

Love from Australia, I really enjoy watching you, please know you are valued, cherish and prayed over ❤

[@MichelJanse]

😭 thank you, that is seriously beyond kind. I’m thankful for you

[@racheldyer9250]

You guys are just the cutest! How truly special. I absolutely love you guys. I was so excited when I first came across your channel. I was able to relate sooo much to you, how you think about and feel things, a previous divorce from a bad situation, finding the one God had for each of us, being Christians, having celiac, just so much. Please please please, never feel silly or like what you do does not matter, though I understand where your coming from. I have had a few people suggest I start a channel, but i have not due to my own personal insecurities. Just know, You touch more people than you could ever know. I am tearing up now, but you have no idea the impact you have and how God uses you. Oh! And I am not sure if you guys have been to Chicago, but I went on a girls trip and found that a lot of places there have gluten free options as well! I definitely understand what your saying, after eating a burger with a gluten free bun, ir having pancakes or even gluten free oatmeal, I get sooo full and sleepy. I am weirdly excited to hear I am not the only one who experiences that.

[@racheldyer9250]

Jordy, at least all of the best days of her life are ones she has spent with you ❤

[@mariemiller8103]

As a Mainer who has moved away, this makes me miss home SO MUCH. I absolutely LOVE how much you love such a big place in my heart ☺️

[@Choune991]

We love you girl! Best KZbinr ever ❤ Keep being you!

[@merryclaire]

I moved from Austin to Portland Maine last year and love that we have those two cities in common. I love that you love Portland as much as I do. It feels like such a secret city with all the perks. I’ve been watching your vlogs for almost 5 years now! I’ve been to many of these places but there is a few I need to check out- I think I’m going to go check out Open House today 😊

[@GmaMom]

I lived in Massachusetts for 16 years! I miss New England, especially the Cape and Maine…..and Vermont in the Fall. I’m so jealous ! I’m so happy for you and Jordie! Congratulations on honeymoon 2❤

[@jlrudy1984]

Absolutely love this vlog so happy you and Jordy got to really enjoy Portland together. Been here for years my friend and genuinely enjoy all your content and community you e built. Your the kind of soul we should all be lucky to call a best friend ! Enjoy Maine is also one of my favorite states ❤️💙 such a special place with beautiful views and people!

[@amywilson8514]

I am from Maine and lived in Portland many years. I found myself smiling through the whole vlog. I am so glad you enjoyed my little city.

[@CarrieLemieux]

It makes my heart happy to know how much you love coming to New England. I was born in northeast MA, currently live on the seacoast of NH, and I'm about a 15-minute drive to ME. It's a super pretty area.

[@lindagregoire8001]

I love Maine too ! I’ve lived in Maine , about 20 minutes from Portland my whole life. Until I hear the excitement from someone “from away” I forget how blessed I am to live here ❤️

[@lindagregoire8001]

There is some irony , my son lives about a half hour from Oceanside CA 😊

[@CarolJoyable]

I missed you doing a review of the restaurant “12” (Twelve) that you dined at. Also, do you ask if the matcha used at coffee shops is ceremony grade? Thank you!

[@katie-nola]

This vlog makes me so happy!!! Thank you for sharing with us Michel! I need to visit Maine ❤

[@KimsaLittleofAlot]

Mom and pop shops are my favorite places to shop at. You always find unique items ❤

[@dianehorton8704]

You guys are are so adorable, thanks for sharing your special time with us!❤️

[@michellexobelle]

Freaking ducks everywhere dude 😂I loved this vlog so much. My dad's side is from the northeast coast, so I grew up visiting Portland, NH and Boston area. All very special to me!

[@tfeliciano1106]

“Huuuuuh, George, I just love it here George.”😄 So glad you really enjoyed it🫶🏼

[@charlitanae]

The Kirk from new girl got me 😂. I love this! Gilmore Girls is my fav!!!

[@deborahleatherman7001]

I’m so happy for you and Jordy, Michel, to be able to create new memories and experiences in Maine!

[@christinaann79]

I can feel the pure happiness through the screen. What a lovely trip and way to experience your honeymoon all over again. Glad you and Jordy got this opportunity. ❤ Now, back to the video….

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you so much, I'm so happy you enjoyed it! 😊

[@user-mv2tg8hc8c]

Two years ago I went to Chicago suburbs mid October and I was the same. The fall was so gorgeous that walking down the street made me super happy! I spent no money and was in fall heaven.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Lovely to see you both 🥰 great video. Nice you got to go back 😊 great you got to meet New friends have a wonderful time with Jordy and the band .

[@MelanieT.-vv2cb]

Although winter can be bitterly cold, I love living in Maine. We are about an hour west of Portland. Awesome to see you had a great time and enjoy my home state as much as I do. I'm also celiac, so I need to go try Eventide! I appreciate all your GF tips and food ideas!

[@MichelJanse]

It’s beautiful 🥹

[@erinniles20]

This was such a needed video this week ❤ my husband and I lived in the Portland area for 6 years and I miss it so so much

You look so happy it seems like you're high! 🤣 I laughed through the whole vlog. Each time you said it was "the best day of my life"!

[@calliehaynes8845]

My husband and I love Maine!! We want to go back someday because it stole our hearts many years ago. We loved Bar Harbor and Augusta.Thanks for sharing, this was so fun!🩵💙🫐🦞

[@heatherhuang6404]

I am so glad you like one of my favorite places too. Portland looks so good in fall and I am glad you got to see it.

[@GraceandReason]

Ok it's official. You've convinced this longtime Texas subscriber to go to the beautiful Portland, Maine. I love this video and how adventurous you are. Let us know when you and the hubs are back in Texas for a concert, would love to come see him. My husband keeps looking up his music. It would be a surprise gift I could give him. Enjoying all your hard filming work, thank you so much for sharing your life. Oh my word, the food you prepare? Will visit your future foodie place. 😀 Almost forgot, I don't remember how to be in the drawing for your great shopping outfits thrifted, but I would love to be part of that. I've lost over 125 pounds in the last 2 years and although not at my goal, I am on the hunt for some boho, gypsy outfits. I have a fever for it.

[@nancy-ve9tr]

#1. I love your sleek back look, so classy so fancy 🙌🏻 #2. Love the passenger process vibes ! Enjoy seeing the Jordy ride along #3. Cool Polo Jordy, corduroy? Never seen that, so cool, now will actively be looking for one for my hubby #3. Michel! Did you get that vintage boat frame ? So nice ! K’ byeeee❤

[@willemijnbouwer6186]

The whole video is so cute and cosy, but.. the entire time, i'm thinking out loud Kirk is from gilmore girls 😂

[@karengurske]

Thanks for commenting because I was like “Did I miss a character in New Girl?!”

[@kelseywinterhalt6468]

This is so fun getting redo your honeymoon and bringing with us is sweet of you and Jody!❤

[@megand576]

Whenever I watch your travel vlogs I always catch myself pausing to look up the hotels you are at and making note for future trips. Thanks for always sharing the details as we both love the same style of hotels/ stays! 🤍

[@Ivy-up7hx]

So the band mates joined you on your honeymoon? First I’ve heard of that

[@DogGoneDayz]

Loved this! Im so putting Portland Maine on my list of places we gotta check out! Thanks for sharing :)

[@connielowe1111]

next time you come to Maine, please come further up the coast. Mid coast is great,too. Boothbay,Camden, Rockland, all great. Northern Maine,too

[@Gingersplanscraftsbeauty]

Michel it is so lovely to see you in awe of Maine and really to just see you so very happy! I'm still watching, but I'll be right back... I'm back, I just wanted to put Maine on my bucket list!

[@nottheone582]

Michel it makes me so sad that you feel your job is vapid or product-driven. You are providing so much value to this community, I'm so sorry you've ever felt criticized for this. some people simply do not understand or have the same connection that your fans/followers/friends have to you! its easy to forget that there's a whole lot of us on the other side of the screen who legitimately value you and look forward to your content each and every week! ❤

[@suezqsusan]

Michel, you provide so much more than you think. It is like I am sitting here chatting with a friend. I look forward to you and your vlogs! You have a gift❤

[@MichelJanse]

You are so kind! This means so much, thank you friend 🥹

[@ggpink5866]

Love you and love seeing you in your favorite place. I have dreamed of a Maine trip myself...one day I'll get there. ❤ Just wanted to say this - let your critics make you a better influencer. You are already amazing but what better way to silence them. Idk, just something I've contemplated before myself so maybe you'll find a little value in it too. Your videos bring me peace and I look forward to new ones but will also watch older ones. Been here almost 4 years. 🤗

[@ashley5701]

I live in augusta Maine, about 45 minutes from Portland, and it makes me so excited that you love Maine so much!

[@nikkiyanok599]

Welcome to my hometown! Living here is the best, hands down.

[@JessicaLaShawn]

The @11:00 minute mark gave me joy. Your happiness is contagious! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@jennifervallo8244]

We were just in Portland ME and it was our first (but not last!) visit there. Thanks for the awesome recommendations and for sharing your joy!

[@outoftheklosset]

I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself so much in Portland Maine.🥰💐

[@gailm1122]

I love that you love Maine. Me too. I live in Mass but been going to Maine since I was 13 years old. If you ever get a chance, go check out Belfast Maine. Lovely harbor town about 2.5-3 hours from Portland. Beautiful town, lots to do. An hour from Acadia and 30 minutes from Camden/Rockland. My future retirement home is there is about 3 years.

[@jeannine8400]

This was so fun to watch!!!

[@kateburtinsky347]

Maine was never a state on my bucket list, but when I went to Ogunquit last September for a Gilmore Girls fan fest, I was ✨obsessed ✨ It's home to Barnacle Billy's, the restaurant Lorelai recommends to Luke when he's going to take the boat trip with April, and it's on this magical harbour where I could have stood watching the crashing waves forever, but we had to get to the Playhouse to see Sally Struthers in Tootsie. On that trip I picked up a blackberry wine called "Dragonfly Farm" and you reminded me I haven't even drank it yet 😂 It was such a magical weekend, and this makes me want to go back and do Ogunquit again, Portland, Kennebunkport...there's nothing like New England in the fall 🍁Also loved the Kirk reference 🤣 "I've had 15,000 jobs..."

[@NicoleWoodruff-f6w]

Your videos make me feel better after I watch them- unlike so much on the internet. You bring lots of purpose and joy, thank you!

[@MichelJanse]

😭 this touched my heart, thank you

[@bethhughes6231]

I want to move to Portland for school and I loved!!! this video. It was so informative and I added so many things to my want to do list. The little vintage prints look so cute and I think I want all of them lol. This was a great video! Also you are so beautiful! Thanks for another wonderful video!

[@luckyv]

My boyfriend teases me because I call you my guru. I love watching your videos and you make me feel like I want to try harder to be a better version of myself. You are very much loved.

[@samfoster619]

Happiness bursting out of you Michel 😊

[@anneliesesmith8983]

I love that you’ve been able to find someone so supportive of you. When you were sharing about how you’re feeling about your job and he encouraged you to talk more about it speaks volumes. I also love him reminding you to feel your feelings. We love a supportive king

[@MichelJanse]

He really is so validating of my feelings and such a safe space for me to explore them😭 I’m in awe daily. (Coming from a gal who chronically avoided all feelings hahahah). Who knew marrying an enneagram 4 would be so healing for me🥹

[@evahynonen4851]

Such a feelgood vlog! Really enjoyed it. Looked great. I loved that store wirh vintage. I wonder if they ship stuff to Europe?

[@EastCoastPlusForty]

Maine is very pretty. I live in Massachusetts. That room is called a crows nest, BTW. Glad you got to visit again. ❤

[@stephanielangton3930]

Kirk from New Girl? Surely it’s Kirt from Gilmore Girls!

[@meredithdustin5376]

It was such an honor and joy to meet you 😊🤍

[@Whiehiej]

This is such a wholesome video!❤❤

[@jacksonebendick9592]

I love your cardigan. Also I just now noticed, hands in sleeves is so cozy and cute

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you🥰
