[AnnabelleFr]

GAVIN !!!! LITERALLY 8 minutes and and 4 seconds into the video I stopped and casually looked up flights to Paris. 30 minutes later and a call with the boyfriend we have booked ourself flights to Paris in June. :D I haven't even watched the entire Vlog yet, wants happening....

[BooksNest]

I got emotional watching the end of this because it was THE BEST time!! Honestly couldn’t have done it with anyone else, you and Sabine are such wonderful human beings and I loved making these memories with you both. You are a gem of a human being and this vlog was perfection, cattywompus plans and all! Miss you alreadddyy 💛💛

[CommanderFrcklz]

After watching this i decided to finally book myself my dream trip to Florence. As i'm a single pringle I've always felt I can't travel alone, but watching this video I just thought F is and do it! Thank you!

[SabinesBookNook]

LOVE you Gavin, honestly cannot describe how much this trip ment to me and how much you bring into my life 🥹❤️ Thank you so SO much from the bottom of my heart and I can’t wait for the next trip together because I sure hope that there will be many more in the future 🥰🥰🥰

The portrait in your bedroom is a gay poet. Arthur Rimbaud.

[kellinwayne]

The fact that you stayed at an Arthur Rimbaud-themed hotel, who was part of the first openly gay couple in literary history, and you never mentioned it, is absolutely sending me 😂 I love your travelling content so much

[calystoXXVII]

It's mind boggling to me that you only have 55k subs! You deserve millions of people following you because you're such a stellar person and honestly, even though I have never met you in real life, I can tell you're a genuinely amazing person. Thank you for talking us on this journey with you. Much love from sLOVEnia

[NakiasHideaway]

Thank you for taking us along on your trip to Paris, Gavin! Looks like you all had a wonderful time! 🗼🥐☕

And Ash trying to open the door when you got back home was THE CUTEST THING!!!! 😻🖤😻

[danamelton]

There's such a beautiful glow to your face when you go on these adventures. (Even more than normal) You can feel the happiness and an almost Free feeling through the screen. Thank you for thinking of us and taking us along.

When I went to Japan I lived on coffee. One morning I told my husband that I really needed a cup, we walked around the corner and there - on the sidewalk!!! - was a parked van with this guy selling coffee. He had a full-on cappuccino machine in the back. If that was here (in Canada) I'd be suspicious, but in Japan, it just felt normal and at that moment an answer to prayer haha.

[PokhrajRoy.]

1:10 I can totally imagine Gavin being as iconic as Blair Waldorf with the Shopping Bags as he walks down Parisian streets.

[JessicaNicoleDickerson]

I want a booktube Paris trip too🥺 Now imma watch Sabine's video !!!
THAT ITINERARY!! I'm impressed

[PokhrajRoy.]

Gavin has returned with a Magnum Opus Video, which means it’s a non-stop journey to pure joy.

[avendesora]

I wish I had bookish friends to do this with! 🥺 Or friends in general really haha. It looks like an amazing time.

[MilenaReads]

Definitely loved Gavin in Paris more than Emily in Paris, haha. Such a beautiful vlog 🧡

[JanAgaton]

wait i loove Amelie! ugh i loved Paris when i went with my french class back in high school & this made me wanna go back!

[bookaholicbanter]

The trip to Japan sounds amazing and it's on my bucket list. I wish I could save enough by then. I hope you do another trip in the future. Would love something like this!

[Lorie]

I am saving for a trip to Ireland, would love to go there and visit the home of my ancestors. Also, to take in the beautiful surroundings of the Emerald Isle.

[FaeryLaume]

I loved watching all three of you together in one of my favorite places. When I've been in Shakespeare & Co. you could take photos - although it wouldn't have occurred to me back in the pre-social media days to take video. Can you take photos still? And I just choked up, so sad, to see Notre Dame. I assume the lighting was showing mostly scaffolding in the back, right? And that's so cool you went and saw the cafe from Amelie. Love that movie so much. Also, have you seen the movie Charade? (Audrey Hepburn and a huge cast of great old actors!) I thought of that when you were all on the boat. Probably my fave old movie.
