GOLD COAST: the Florida of AUSTRALIA?



Gold Coast is the heart of Australia’s ultimate beach playground 🌊🏖️, and in this vlog, you’ll discover the most famous district in town, called Surfers Paradise. For many years, this iconic stretch of coastline has captured the imagination of surfers, sun-seekers, and adventure enthusiasts from around the world.

Gold Coast is famous for the golden beaches and laid-back lifestyle, but it’s also got a vibrant cityscape. We start the day exploring one of the tallest residential buildings in Australia, the Q1 Tower. We go for a delicious breakfast at the SkyPoint observatory. From there, we walk around the most famous areas in Surfers Paradise, especially Cavill & Orchid Avenues, and then enjoy Surfers Paradise beach. We also go for a sunset river cruise and enjoy the beachfront market and Gold Coast’s nightlife.

Gold Coast is a short train ride away from Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland. Brisbane is the host of the 2032 Olympics.

► WHO AM I?

I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world… stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!

P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he’s actually camera-shy. That’s why he’s behind the camera most of the time 😉

  1. I should have posted this video sooner, but things got so busy in Australia with the Women's World Cup that I was working loooooong hours. It was so worth it though… the biggest women's event ever! 🤩 I still can't believe I was part of it ❤⚽ Anyways, let me now show you Australia's holiday capital. Here's our first day walking in Gold Coast's main district, called Surfers Paradise. All videos in Australia are here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k–1eubJb4&list=PLUt18OGs5Ho5QpZ12V5YTb9Kwz7ayXmlf&index=1

  4. Thoughts on the fallout from that kiss by the President of the Spanish FA on the player?

  5. When I was in Australia many years ago I always adored the Gold coast and I would love to return this video cheered me up.hope to return soon❤

  6. Wow you guys are living the life of luxury. I`m glad you are enjoying your time in Australia. Did you buy the Thongs ? Lol.

  7. Renata:Remarkable video today’s from the “Gold Coast of Australia” to shows these amazing beaches,skyscrapers,hotels,golf course,restaurants, etc. in Australia 2023❤❤❤

  8. Renata always manage to make every places look amazingggg. Previously you made me want to move to Adelaide, now you make me want to move to Gold Coast!

  9. You have such an extraordinary way in your videos, to highlight the beauty of all those places. Keep it up.

  10. 1. beaches wouldn't have been busy as its currently winter and looks like you were there on a weekday? on weekends they can be packed.
    2. Gold Coast name did come the nickname the area got during an early real estate boom
    3. It may possibly host the 2026 Commonwealth Games as Melbourne cancelled plans to host. Still pending whether that will get approved though
    4. You swim between the red and yellow flags as that is the safest place to swim, outside the flags can be strong rips and currents that can be dangerous. Lifeguards can assist if you get caught it them, they don't only monitor between the flags

  11. I love u guys alot n the way you explore all the amazing places, please come visit Diani beach Mombasa Kenya, its like a little Miami of kenya

  12. Your videos never fail to disappoint! I love the fresh and interesting way you showcase your adventures and the cities you visit and of course kudos to your hubby’s dry and sarcastic humour, I love how you bounce off each other ❤

  13. Fun fact: The Gold Coast has more canals than Venice. Locals all refer to it as THE Gold Coast. Tourists inexplicably drop "the". I've coming here for more than 60 years.

  14. Wonderful. Thank you for this video and for showing your explorations in the Gold Coast. The hotel that you stayed looked beautiful with great uninterrupted view of the sea.

  15. Renata:Welcome to "Sydney or Gold Coast of Australia" this week to tours the city in great joy August of 2023❤❤❤I wish you guys safe journeys & good Luck always in peace 2023❤❤❤

  16. Nice to see you showcase our city. If you look over the canals to where the hills start there is us waving to you. We didn't have the $3 million for the canal (much less the $8Mill) so we have to drive and park but we still call ourselves blessed and don't complain. We tend to go to the quieter beaches off to the south you saw in the distance.

  17. There are nicer less touristy areas of the Gold Coast than Surfers Paradise and also some really nice spots just south of the QLD/NSW border (the Gold Coast is right on the border).

  18. would be interesting for you to also go to Noosa, the other beach holiday town to the North of Brisbane, they are completely different to one another

  19. Another lovely video, stylish as ever. Choice of Bethany wine from Barossa, tops it off & view. 🎉😅

  20. Minor Correction..
    QUEENSLAND is Australia's Florida.. haha
    Vegemite is used sparingly, with butter.. its FULL of vitamin B!
