His one upload, a vlog from Australia's famous alternative town, neared a million views in six days, and its comment section filled with support for his partner.

I Visited Australia’s Most Infamous Hippie Town
"I Visited Australia's Most Infamous Hippie Town" is the only new video on Spanian's channel this week, and the town in question is Byron Bay, the surf-and-alternative-living spot on the far north coast of New South Wales. The video went up on September 27, took in about 450,000 views on its first day, and is now close to a million.
It is a long one. Viewers describe it as running past three hours, and several say that is exactly how they like it. The moments they keep bringing up are small and very Spanian: a battle with a coffee machine that one viewer calls wild and painful, a walk through the bush to a waterfall where he seems sure everything is about to attack him, and a taco he interrogates face to face. A local who appears in the video even turned up in the comments to thank him for the shout-out to a friend.
The most liked comments, though, are about someone who is not in it. Spanian talks about his girlfriend, who no longer joins the trips, and the thread underneath has turned into a long run of messages hoping she feels confident enough to come back.
The Australia run behind it is still pulling its weight, with the holiday island and the volcano town trips both closing in on a million views of their own. Across seven days the channel gained more views than any of the similar-sized travel channels with weekly totals on hand, Trek Trendy and Jet Lag: The Game just behind, and it added about 10,000 subscribers.
