The best place to watch my videos early and without ads is on Nebula: nebula.tv/down... Follow me on IG, TikTok & Twitter: @DownieLive Mike’s Hats: wirthhats.com/...
Jess set the vibe for this video when she said "I haven't finished my beer yet". Such a great fun video to watch! I don't have a sister, but I do have a Canadian friend and we meetup around the world to travel. We often have to say we are brother and sister, or cousins, just so we get our own beds!
I love when Jess comes on your adventures with you! Thank you for sharing said adventures for those of us not as lucky to be able to travel. Seeing the places you go, and how you share more of the authentic experiences over the touristy/influencer things helps connect me with the world outside my bubble. Can’t wait to see where you go next!
This thumbnail is so funny given how often you've travelled with her even on CZcams! But may it bring in many new viewers, and I'm looking forward to watching!
So nice to see you travel with your sister. My brother and I, in our 20's and 30's also had travel adventures together. Some of the best memories of my life!!
Mike's back! I don't know you personally but I love how you share you and your sister's adventures. This is one of my favorites in a long time. I really enjoyed the one the other night though when you were sitting by the train. I can't believe they let you get that close to that train! I know your life has changed a bit since you got married and moved to Hong Kong. I sure hope you are taking time to enjoy your new life. Thanks for taking us on adventures whenever you get a chance!
That was really amazing.So fascinating how they live. The landscape with all the green mountains is my kind of place. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Jess is always a welcome sight in your videos. From going to the far north or hanging on the edge of a cliff, you both seem to get along well and we love the content. Always entertaining and adds something from the solo videos. Keep it up Mike! Edit: I almost forgot about the time you conned her into going on like 6 different Gondolas in a row!
Downie this one hit home for me, very hard to watch.. I lost my baby sister a few years back she had a seizure and didn't make it. So please take it from me enjoy these times with your sister and cherish each other you never know what the next day will bring.
One of your best videos to date Mike (and Jessica). This is absolutely brilliant, please please please do a video of her learning to ride if you help her go for her license. I've had mine for 20 years, and even though I don't ride anymore (had a nasty accident in Mass), i absolutely LOVE it still.
That was downright awesome Mike and Jess. I am so glad I found your channel and am happy to support you any way I can. Wherever you go, I will be there.
Thank you SO much for sharing your adventures with your sister. I’m not physically able to do the wonderful things you two are doing so it’s a true pleasure watching you two go to these beautiful places and share the culture.
Mike, I love when you have adventures with your sister! So much fun! Not to be a downer (pun not intended), but my brother died suddenly almost 3 years ago. Too much time (and family/employment commitments ) prevented us from reconnecting & I regret it. Make the most of the time you have with loved ones (especially siblings) because time can creep up on you before you know it. I hope to see Jess and yourself enjoy many adventures together. Like the great Ferris Buehler says “Life goes by so fast - if you turn around you might just miss it!”
WOW! I love all of your content--even the stuff that I'm not super into like the F1 races (which are still nice for me because they remind me of my dad who worked for fancy car companies like Lotus and Porsche-)-but this video is the best one in a long time! I love love love your sister Jess and when you said that insanely beautiful hotel cost $125 a night my eyes nearly fell out of my head! Then the other adventures culminating in that beautiful 2 day bike ride! 😱The last short video from a couple days ago already made me want to visit Vietnam--which I'd never thought about before--and this video solidified it! It really felt like I was watching a less snarky episode of No Reservations, lol. I love the long format videos, even the Nullarbor Links one I've watched a bunch. The vibe of your content is just exactly the wholesome adventurous feeling I want in my life and with your sister, it's just absolutely magical! Thank you for bringing joy into my life and the lives of others. 💖
I spend 4 weeks bumming around Vietnam from south to north then over land into China. It was 30 plus years ago but it was a remarkable adventure and the people were incredibly friendly and Vietnam was so much more than I expected .... I always recommend Vietnam highly to my friends and a fun exotic destinations.... And I can see from you video that the cities have developed in great leaps and bounds ‼️ it looks like you both had a great time and date I say you too were pleasantly surprised by Vietnam... 😊
I love this video! I'm Vietnamese-American and love to see people exploring the country. My brothers and I took a tour a few years ago where we hit the major cities/areas in northern and central Vietnam, including Sa Pa which was beautiful. When you said Sa Pa, I knew IMMEDIATELY what your plan was going to be! Hahaha I knew Fansipan was going to be on your list and I had hoped you would take the steps. We took the steps too and I saw old ladies passing me in high heels T_T I have no idea how that was even possible tbh. I nearly died going up those steps. The altitude makes it soooo much worse hahaha I'm glad you guys had a great time! Riding a motorbike in Vietnam is braver than I will ever be (since I refuse to drive one myself lmao).
Having traveled to Vietnam in 2019 for a friends wedding and staying at his wife’s mothers friends house, this brings back so many incredible memories. I didn’t make it to Sa Pa, Hanoi was as far north as I got but now I have to go back! Incredible, thank you for rekindling memories mike. Your sister is very fun too 🥰
That was super fun. I think we usually get along with our siblings more the older we get. I always love the Jess and Mike adventures. Thanks for taking us along.
I love all of your adventures, no matter what they are. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I do especially like the travels with your family. It’s so nice to see you all enjoying time together. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Really, really enjoying following you on this adventure. I know Vietnam is a country I won’t be visiting personally BUT I am loving following along virtual as you explore it. Thanks!
I'm glad your sister was able to come along as she's always fun and up to any challenge. This was really seeing the country and not just some tourist destinations. That final feast looked incredible even if i don't know what pebes (closed-captioning spelling) are.
What an awesome trip! Getting out into the country that I will never see...this is why I watch your videos. How nice that you and Jess were able to do this. Looking forward to more adventures.
This was sooooo awesome!!!! Oh I felt like I was on the adventure with you!!!! Love Mae and how wonderful and smart to do want she does to bring extra income for her family!!! I love want you do Mike!!! Great job in bringing me along with you and Jess! Thank you ❤
What a great time Watching you both enjoy Vietnam. Just love your show when you’re taking us places with you. Can’t wait to see where you’re going next! Take care, Be safe
Next thing you know, Jess will want to get herself a Triumph Speed Triple for use back home. Whenever that might be. Too many foreign adventures in the meantime.
I love this. What a great way to make a lifelong memory with your sister than to share such a unique adventure. Y’all are awesome! Thank you for sharing!
I love how you approach your travels and this trip is probably my favourite. I think I might have to copy it: from the hotel to the trip to the summit and the motor bike tour: what a perfect way to experience Vietnam.
Thanks for another great adventure. Love when you and Jess get together. Seeing rural Vietnam makes you appreciate what we have here in America. Great job to Jess for killing it on the scooter. I don't think I could have done 7 hours on it very well. "'It's rice to see" had me lol'ing. I always look forward to the next great adventure. BTW: thanks for 2 within 24 hours of each other. Feeling very lucky. Also, love that you take the time to read comments and reply. I would totally be thrilled to meet you one day.
Thank you for this beautiful video! I use to write to my brother during the war there in Vietnam. It's such a beautiful country and the people are so welcoming!
Me and my sister used to be super close but now into our 30s aren’t as close. I’d love to take a once in a lifetime trip with her like this. To get to spend time with her again. I miss her. Thank you for reminding me about how special siblings are.
This is what CZcams is meant for. Travel, adventure, culture, and education. Well done!
Agreed!
I have a feeling if you have a medical emergency you won’t get to a good hospital any time soon.
your sister not finished with her beer 🍺
Jess she is a keeper beautiful sister, always rules 👍
I've watched you and your sister travel during the summer for years. It's amazing seeing the two of you travel.
This was so incredibly wholesome. And Mae was the perfect guide for you (and us!).
Mae is a sweetheart and an amazing guide!
You need to do more video's with your sister, she's a keeper
She's fun and up for anything.
Jess set the vibe for this video when she said "I haven't finished my beer yet". Such a great fun video to watch! I don't have a sister, but I do have a Canadian friend and we meetup around the world to travel. We often have to say we are brother and sister, or cousins, just so we get our own beds!
I love when Jess comes on your adventures with you!

Can’t wait to see where you go next!
“It’s pretty Hanoiing” 🤣 Great trip and good choices!
Yes! Thank you!
bad joke get out
Great to see this type of traveling content again. Always loved these trips.
The kid giving you the finger was epic 😂 everything was so beautiful but that was the highlight
dude when was that, i cant find ittt
@@SamGunz-47 18:00 a few seconds after
@@cigarsgunsanddiesel8032 haha thanks
I totally agree! Haha. I wonder if he knew what it meant
I wondered what Mike laughed at so much. I didn't see it happen.
This is one of my favorites now! Wonderful! Thank Mike!
Glad you like it!
This thumbnail is so funny given how often you've travelled with her even on CZcams! But may it bring in many new viewers, and I'm looking forward to watching!
Haha! Good eye!
@@DownieLive Are you married? If so, your wife must be mad that you are traveling with your sister.
@@lovedfriend2020None of your business! Live your own life and don't stick your nose in others' business.
Why would my wife be mad that I’m travelling with my sister? 🤔
It worked for me!
Jess hit a home run with the choice of that hotel. It looks amazing!
So nice to see you travel with your sister. My brother and I, in our 20's and 30's also had travel adventures together. Some of the best memories of my life!!

Love adventures with Jess!
That was really amazing.So fascinating how they live. The landscape with all the green mountains is my kind of place. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
The photos at the end were brilliant. A great trip, and a fantastic watch as always! Thank you!
That was awesome. You two are so lucky to have each other.

This has to be my favorite video of yours. Beautiful people and beautiful scenery.
Good to see Jess again!! Been looking forward to a new Downie video!
What a neat looking trip Mike you & Jess had. Nice to see you both travelling again together. Looking forward to your next adventure
What I love about Canadians is their senses of humor
The tension Jess has riding that moped is giving her amazing posture! 😂
Totally! That's one positive from the experience, haha!
Jess would be a hoot to travel with.
Good to see brother and sister having so much fun.
What beautiful country..
You two are great! I am glad you did it as well. So wholesome and sweet.
Love the little sister, brought a banana lol. Taking care of big brother. ❤ love this video
Downie this one hit home for me, very hard to watch.. I lost my baby sister a few years back she had a seizure and didn't make it. So please take it from me enjoy these times with your sister and cherish each other you never know what the next day will bring.
If the on screen chemistry with Jess could be put in a jar and sold you'd be a billionaire! These are the kinds of videos I'm here for
Crazy adventure! Talk about getting way outside a comfort zone!
Your sister and her jokes - 🤣- I'm a fan, and encourage way more videos like this one!
I so enjoy your show. Seeing places all over the world. It's great when Sis comes with you. Stay safe & enjoy
I love that you guys enjoy each other so much. It’s rare ❤

What a special adventure to share with your sister! I love this!
Mike this was one of the BEST I have seen in a while. So much fun and Mae.. wow. Super sweet.. please give us some more of this.. totally enjoyed

Sorry to hear that Kathy. I’m glad you can join Jess and I.
What a wonderful trip! Thanks for taking us along with you!
That was such a great adventure, thank you Mike & Jess!
Absolutely incredible. Your relationship with Jess is something we should all aim for.
What an awesome trip!! I'm guessing this was before the move to HK? I was wondering what Jess might pick after the 2 day scooter adventure? HAHA.
Awesome trip. Hope your sister joins more of them. She adds to the joy!
Your CZcams videos are always a step above most CZcams channels~thank you for this so interesting & different travel experience!!!
We love sibling travels! So fun!

I think I smiled the whole way through the video. Thanks for the fun ride!
That was one of the best DownieLive videos!!!Thank you Mike and Jess!!!❤️

This adventure has been one of your best videos yet. Thanks for posting.
Our pleasure!

Thank you for this beautiful video! I use to write to my brother during the war there in Vietnam. It's such a beautiful country and the people are so welcoming!
You do the best videos. You seem like a very likable guy and you are up for any adventure anywhere in the world! Thank you for sharing. Great job
Your sister is doing really well on the scooter. Great idea Mike 22:02
7:10 doesn't look steep until that view looking down at the steps
Thank you Mike and Jess. That was amazing !!
34:54 how do you expect her to know how far 6 blocks is 😂
😂true! I hadn’t considered that!
That was incredible! Thanks Mike and Jess!
Pretty awesome to follow your adventures with your sister. Vietnam looks like an incredible place to visit.
Just .lovely Mike...Just lovely...
This was so awesome to watch 😊 thank you for taking us along your adventures
I love the close wonderful relationship you have with your sister!
That was a lot of fun. Wonder if those kids really knew the meaning of flipping you the bird. That was hilarious.
What a beautiful video! Amazing to see the real Vietnam! And both of you should travel more often together, its amazing to see!
Me and my sister used to be super close but now into our 30s aren’t as close. I’d love to take a once in a lifetime trip with her like this. To get to spend time with her again. I miss her. Thank you for reminding me about how special siblings are.
Some of your best content yet. Really enjoyed this Mike.
Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!
A big thank you for taking us along! That was a lot of fun! Very educational also! 💛
Oh my gosh, I love your sister! I would sooo be into it if she was your new copilot!
What a fun video! Yall are the best!
FANTASTIC trip and especially the bike tour.
