When you see how he travels and what he eats and how much his equipment is, it's obvious he's got a very good amount of money.... but he also is like "So I ordered a hamburger and got a beer". That down-to-earth attitude is what keeps me coming back.

@@JimTheFly Indeed! I do sometimes see the interactions and think "I'd love to travel with him" the amount of confidence is incredible. Although travelling around the world and meeting/being around superstars of F1 would make you a very confident person. Silly but wholesome story from a stranger on the internet time: I used to be very shy, and somewhat still am, but when I last saw my grandmother she said that all I have to do is just say "Hi I'm Endless River, nice to meet you" and shake their hand. She made me do it to everyone at the family reunion that year lol. It sure raised my confidence and allowed me to get comfortable meeting people in a semi-formal environment (like at the bank I work at) which made meeting people in an informal setting easier. If you're still reading this, you're a legend and I hope you guys have a great weekend! It was nice "meeting" you guys :)
Not only a great photographer but a great cinematographer too. Keep up the great work Kym! Love from India
I am glad you and your equipment are ok after that fall. 😇
Hi Kym , I do look forward to your travel videos this season again . Thank you !
Besides your F1 coverage, I love your travel videos. Traveling is always an adventure!
Awesome insights Kym . Welcome home. Hope you’ve had a great time at home. Bring on Melbourne .
Get well soon Kym! I met you in Bahrain’s race this year, I was wearing a McLaren cap, I don’t know if you remember, but you were so kind.
Your house looks STUNNING. Just the entrance is royal 🤯

Always a joy accompanying you on your travels. Gives me a great idea of what I might expect to encounter on a trip. And.... no more tripping. Potentially very bad for your health and, oh yeah, your kit.
Your travel vids just keep getting more and more professional. Thoroughly enjoyable to watch from my couch and getting excited already for next weekends race.
As always, a really entertaining video. Glad to see you get to go home this year. I'm really looking forward to watching a race in Melbourne again after the couple of years' hiatus.
Glad you made it home Kym looking forward to seeing you on live stream after the Aussie GP
Oh; I loved getting a glimpse of your home! Lovely! Be safe and enjoy.
Wow that was awesome enjoy Perth and I look forward to “seeing” you in Melbourne
I continue to appreciate your content.
Rare sight to see you home Kym! Enjoy! Thanks for the dedication and content!
Loved this vlog! 👍😀
Hello Kym, such a great video showing the trial's and tribulations of a passionate photographer making his way home. Glad you got there safely. Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe 😷.
Content for this season has been top class so far Kym 👍
What a nice video yet again! can't wait for the Australian grand prix

Always great to travel along with you Kym on your F1 journeys. Great to see you back in Australia. Might see you track side for the 4 days I’ll be there 👍
Great video as always. Really looking forward to the race next weekend and your coverage of it.
Really enjoy your videos! Keep them coming!
Great video Kym, always highly enjoyable. From Bath, England
Love your work as always Kym.

Crisp cameos you've got going there, Kym... Pleasing to the eyes!
Great video again and best of luck from Dublin Ireland
I loved the video Kym!
Great Vid. Cheers!
I came to Perth to study but unfortunately Im gonna miss the Australian GP in person. But it's ok, I will stay tune to your good pics and upcoming videos. Keep it up Kym ! ✌👍
I was waiting for what you ate at Jeddah before you left and then it’s a quick cut to “that’s terrible”🤣🤣🤣 love the videos kym !

Can't wait to be at the race
Good on you mate - enjoy home for the next week or so
I also had a nightmare of a time getting into the Qantas Business Lounge in Melbourne. The staff were very unreasonable and didn’t make me or my pregnant partner feel good at all :( Love the videos Kym!
Those new modified turns looks good for race
wow that flight out of saudi looked a m a z i n g.
I amazing video and I feel sorry I didn’t know you before so I can meet you in person in Bahrain GP see you next year for sure
legend
i got tired just watching, great video
Last year the betting was on how many times Kym could leave an expensive camera behind somewhere (on a transfer bus, in a taxi, etc.), yet still get it returned! This year it’s gonna be how many times Kym can throw his cameras and lenses at the ground and not actually damage anything. 😂. Nice job using your body to protect the equipment Kym. Looking forward to keeping up with your Denis Jenkinson style F1 travel blogs. Hope you get to enjoy a few days with family.
That was a quality stop motion time lapse in the lounge
6:39 Take a tip from Seb Vettel, don’t go to Saudi! 😂 Great video Kym, glad you get to go home throughout this season!!

Great video. Traveled to Madagascar from NYC back in December 2021 and March 13 2022. No one checked my Covid tests. It was a huge worry and bother getting those done and no one gave a flying fig. I was mightily disappointed.
Driving at jeddah sounds soooo fun 😁
I saw the thumbnail in the corner of my eye and thought it was a mazepin vlog til I actually looked at the thumbnail. Great video by the way!
Pro video producer as well as pro F1 photographer, impressive.
Good to see Kym actually going back home to photo the Aussie GP in what 2+ years? Good on you mate, just feel wierd.
must be great to be back home
Love an Aussie Battler 🤣
i like this guy hes good at his job love f1 been to a few races with my family and my last name is herbert so guess who my family is any ways keep the videos up and hope fully when im at a race ill bump in to u and talk maybe with u and my uncle stay safe love from the uk
Nice Daytona Kym… is that one the new additions.. see you in Melbourne 👍
Very interesting about your F1 training sessions,you did well. Cycled the F1 circuit lots of times whilst they were setting up the Gp.You should mention how good the tram system, cycle tracks are to get people to and from the circuit?

Ah, the Prince Hotel. Remember having a nice brekky in there during the 2020 non-Australian GP weekend. Nice place. Think me and my wife were down there early to see if we could spot the famous penguins! Looking forward to the race next weekend, alas from Bucks [England] not Albert Park.
Top notch bud. Soooo enjoyable just riding along with you. If i can make it to a race in my home country, USA, i would love to meet you! Im in Ohio so it will be a lot of money for any of the races but if i can swing it i would live a pic with you! Cheers

Can u make a Timelapse of a whole weeknd from the practice sessions till the race ?
i hopw i have a such a drive when i am as young as you
Was wondering why you went to Melbourne and then to Perth. Then I read your captions.. haha
Good to see you keep up with the memes Kym. Helikopter Helikopter :)
God truly loathe airports and all the bullsh!t and headache that ALWAYS comes along with it. I tip my hat to you for keeping your sanity intact in spite of all your years of international airline travel!
Hey Kym, as always lovely content. Seen 100% of your videos, i have a question. I see you are going first class, business etc that cant be cheap could you maybe do a video on how and how much or something about the finances of being a f1 photographer

Fairly new to you channel and really enjoying your flight videos. Recently had 3 Avis cars in NZ. Having booked and paid for full insurance, they tried twice to add it on again,and then added a false "early collection" charge to my credit card without telling me. Not good.
Have you done a house tour video lately? Your place always looks full of cool art & design. (Don't show too much if you're worried about getting robbed, though.)
Its f... amazing that you can be so cheerful after a 56 hour ordeal. Do i need to travel Emirates First when i can watch you enjoying it?
djeez....in Germany the PCR currently cost around 60 AUD......
