My Mom and Dad were born and raised in Cork. My Mom is from Turners Cross and my Dad is from down the Gully. Have a great day! From Detroit, Michigan, USA 🇺🇸
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 :)
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.
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!
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.
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 😷.
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.
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 👍
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 ! ✌👍
Been watching Kym for 3 years... im so happy for u! Your content has become so good and grown so much. I absolutely love your prospective of my favorite form of auto racing! Keep it up! I love traveling the world with u
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!
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.)
I met Kym in Jeddah. He was lovely and pleasant to chat with. When the Saudi GP moves from Jeddah to Riyadh (my home town) eta 2025. I'll give you my car for the week so you don't have to deal with Avis.
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
As always Kym. Top class. Consistent quality, consistently high and easy to watch. From Cork, Ireland.
Thanks to all in Cork
My Mom and Dad were born and raised in Cork. My Mom is from Turners Cross and my Dad is from down the Gully.
Have a great day!
From Detroit, Michigan, USA 🇺🇸
Big fan here in 🇨🇦!
i love how wholesome he is, hes just seems like a nice guy
You talking about his son? 😁

@@JimTheFly that's how money can buy you happiness, you just have to be not an asshole
@@spac18 AMEN.

I am glad you and your equipment are ok after that fall. 😇
Not only a great photographer but a great cinematographer too. Keep up the great work Kym! Love from India
Besides your F1 coverage, I love your travel videos. Traveling is always an adventure!
Your house looks STUNNING. Just the entrance is royal 🤯
He's a pretty successful businessmen, he just does this photography stuff for a laugh.
@@NippyMoto damn that is brilliant
I love his front door and side lights. Looks so regal
@@NippyMoto really didn’t know that..i was wondering if f1 pays so well that he only travels by business class
Awesome insights Kym . Welcome home. Hope you’ve had a great time at home. Bring on Melbourne .
Hi Kym ,
I do look forward to your travel videos this season again . Thank you !
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.
Content for this season has been top class so far Kym 👍
No where else better than home!
Great video Kym, always highly enjoyable. From Bath, England
Great vlog, Kym! Felt like I was traveling along and it's mega for someone like me who is not able to do so. Especially enjoyed the montage in 7:14
Crisp cameos you've got going there, Kym... Pleasing to the eyes!
Your travel vlogs are GREAT! Really enjoy them!
Only first class! He worked for years to be the best in the business for F1 photos. Hard work pays off!
@@DeanHopster he had a business before

Wow that was awesome enjoy Perth and I look forward to “seeing” you in Melbourne
Top class from my man Kym, safe always man
Oh; I loved getting a glimpse of your home! Lovely! Be safe and enjoy.
Loved this vlog! 👍😀
I continue to appreciate your content.
That was a quality stop motion time lapse in the lounge
Great video again and best of luck from Dublin Ireland
Great that you are able to get home this year Kym. your family must be so happy :)
Check the last videos. His dog goes nuts when he returns. 😁
I loved the video Kym!
Glad you made it home Kym looking forward to seeing you on live stream after the Aussie GP
What a nice video yet again! can't wait for the Australian grand prix
I’d love to see a behind the scenes video of your shooting the gp!
Those new modified turns looks good for race
Pro video producer as well as pro F1 photographer, impressive.

wow that flight out of saudi looked a m a z i n g.
Hi Hym...Very instructive, nice images and delicious background music. As usual ...Salute from Colombia
I’m surprised by the number of Colombian supporters that I have. Thanks
Can't wait to be at the race
To say you're a seasoned traveller is a gross understatement Kim. 'Hardened' is probably a better word. All part of the job I guess.
And I still love it
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
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 😷.
Rare sight to see you home Kym! Enjoy! Thanks for the dedication and content!
Love you bro, another travel video, Airlines and hotels take notice!
Good to see Kym actually going back home to photo the Aussie GP in what 2+ years? Good on you mate, just feel wierd.
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.
You're such a great communicator Kym! Looking forward to the next video🤗
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!
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 !
Hi from Miami 😊
Really enjoy your videos! Keep them coming!
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.
What a trip. Enjoy staying home for a bit 😁
Great video as always. Really looking forward to the race next weekend and your coverage of it.
i got tired just watching, great video
Nice Daytona Kym… is that one the new additions.. see you in Melbourne 👍

The videos are just getting better and better. Keep it up 😀
I recognize that horse statue/lamp….Heathrow Terminal 5 BA lounge….love it!
I saw that in the lounge when I was there last year
When the plane trip is better than F1
@7:13 loving the hovering shots.. how long did that take to edit :D
Been watching Kym for 3 years... im so happy for u! Your content has become so good and grown so much. I absolutely love your prospective of my favorite form of auto racing! Keep it up! I love traveling the world with u

Driving at jeddah sounds soooo fun 😁
Was wondering why you went to Melbourne and then to Perth.
Then I read your captions.. haha
7:12 had me cracking up
Can u make a Timelapse of a whole weeknd from the practice sessions till the race ?
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

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?
You and Danny Ricc are going to be the stars of the next race!
i hopw i have a such a drive when i am as young as you
Hi Kym, new follower here, really like your vlogs! Wondering if you play with those frequent flyer programs to safe on your trips?
The smokey one was bubaganoush it's actually my favourite. So you can travel with me anytime.
You can have mine any time
Finally, Racing in Melbourne.
We’re not quite there yet. I’ve got excited about that before and been disappointed.
@@KymIllman Well I am hoping that you are not disappointed, and I want Charles to win!
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.)
Wait a second we have a train in jeddah Airport!
You certainly do
Noise cancelling headphones really help when air travelling. I find it cuts my jet lag by 20%
1:27 the person behind you looks familiar. Isn't that someone working for F1 we see around the podium ?
Looks like Matteo Bonciani
It is definitely Matteo.
@@KymIllman had it on the tip of my tongue 😄
what you talking bout Kym? got to have the ice cream :)
I met Kym in Jeddah. He was lovely and pleasant to chat with.
When the Saudi GP moves from Jeddah to Riyadh (my home town) eta 2025. I'll give you my car for the week so you don't have to deal with Avis.
That’s a deal. Thanks.
One would expect a response from Avis here.
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
That video is available to all my RUclips channel members. See the link in the community tab
is it bad that i remember all these lounges that kym goes on from previous videos
