Hi Shaun! I don’t think it was pandering, you saw a large specific audience and you did the logical thing!!!! Since I live in the US and have traveled through the country, I’ve always wanted to see your Scottish travels! I’ve visited Scotland twice and lived in the UK for 3 years. I love Outlander and hopefully you’ll be able to go more Outlander vlogs when they start filming again. My ancestors were Erskines so I also have a Scottish connection. I’d love to see you travel to the continent since I can’t do that now. I love your passion for the US and you should always follow that too!!!! Much love and support from Florida! Laurie Freese
Do you still have a second channel?
YOU do YOU! I'm interested in what you want to do and see. I'll still be here, watchin from West Texas.
It doesn't feel like pandering to me, if you feel like making videos on whatever topic you want, I don't see it as a mistake, but you have to do what you want, and you will find people who will watch regardless. I'll keep up with you.
do the videos that feel right to you, looking forward to more videos of Scotland
I don't see any problem. Stop flogging yourself! You are a blessing, Shaun!
Aye, don't sweat the small
$#!+.....keep following your true heart. It'll never steer you wrong✨💖We love you Sean
THIS!!!
Yes. Your a good guy. But if it makes you unhappy, change it. Be true to yourself. Trust me the covid sucks in USA. So over it. Lots of other counties are open. I originally came because your in Scotland. Due to Outlander. Love your accent. ❤🇺🇸😊
I do love seeing how people from other countries experience the U.S. and hearing their perspectives-it helps me to see my home country through new eyes, too. However, I also love learning about new places and traveling vicariously through others! I love to see your own home country and the passion and excitement you have for it. And I would love to see your adventures traveling to other countries. Make the videos YOU want to make and are excited and passionate about, and the viewers will come.
thank you Jessica :)
I agree. I like to see both.
Shaun, i never felt like there was any pandering coming from you. However, i knew because of the pandemic, the vids had to change a bit. I noticed, but i knew it was temporary because that's just how life is: we have to adapt. But we keep coming back to your channel because of you! Your enthusiasm and desire to learn and share different cultures with us is very contagious. Even though i like the American vids because you go places in my own nation that i can't go, my heart still yearns for those Scottish vids. They're beautiful and true to life, like yourself. That's why they are my favorite vids of all. You must do what's right for yourself and we will follow! 😊
So glad you posted this, I've been really wanting to see your original content again on Scotland! I love those.
Well, it’s coming back soon 😊😊😊
@@shaunvlog
Yay!
@@shaunvlog
If you do what you love, you'll love what you do.
Follow your heart.
No need to apologize. We are all having to figure out life after this pandemic happened. I would love to see you do interviews of people of Scotland.Along with the work they do. Police Nurses Doctors Teachers Street Sweepers ect ect. Rock On My dude!
LOVE that idea!
Love your videos. And no need to apologize. We are all adapting and adjusting to 2020. Thanks for your videos. 🙏
I think interviews of Scottish people would be very entertaining! Always interesting to see how the other half lives, so to speak.
I agree. There are no mistakes, only learning experiences in this medium,Shaun. I have watched you since 2017 when I retired and disconnected my satellite TV. Your travels take me to places that I will never be able to visit on my own. Continue to be you and Teka, as you are the real thing. Take care, 💕 be safe, God bless you and Teka, and God bless Texas!
As a US viewer I loved seeing you share in my country and culture, but I also think you're just brilliant.
Thank you for being so honest. I would love to see more of Scotland, especially the natural beauty of each region. I also love living history. If you have a bit of time, please share historical sites.
I’m not an “OG”. I found you about a year ago. I was very fortunate to visit Scotland in 2017. Loved exploring your beautiful country. I enjoy watching you as you explore the US - it gives me a perspective of things that I tend to take for granted. BUT, I would love watching your videos on your home country, especially during this pandemic. I always hoped to be able to return to Scotland, but I’m not getting any younger. I’m a 67 year old granny of five. So keep up your good work. I will continue to watch your videos. And even if I don’t get back to Scotland I look forward to you sharing your perspective of your visit to the US. ❤️
What you are talking about is growth and life. Having said that, you are fine, it is fine, we are fine. Through your channel we grow too. If you want to add a bit more depth...interview the commoners. What they think, how they live, ...
Thank you Jocelyn i truly appreciate it
I originally started watching your videos because of your older content. Not your trips to America. Im an American and i honestly want to see more of you traveling around Scotland and Europe in general. My fiance and I want to eventually move to Scotland so it helps give us an insight into the country. ❤
I've enjoyed the historical aspects of the videos. I enjoy learning something that isn't taught in books and so forth. It makes it more interesting to hear details that you don't hear from other sources. I love the raw, reality and straightforwardness that includes the good, the bad, and the ugly. You truly don't learn anything if you only hear the good side of things. That's what draws me to watch
I like Tom Pool's perspective on this kind of thing. He knows for instance that if he posts a video about UFOs it won't get as many views as his political commentary, but he'll do it anyway because he enjoys it despite it not being in his normal routine. I think you have to do what you enjoy so you sleep better at night and don't burn out.
Seeing travel experiences and Scotland is why I watch. I've traveled the US a lot, but most Americans don't take enough vacations so we enjoy seeing places we haven't been to.
Excited for this... Happy for you! Can't wait to see more of the UK through your lenses!
Thanks for explaining!!! I was so curious what was going on 😉. Looking forward to your NEW adventures! 🏴
We will be here no matter what! We love what you do no matter what!
yessssssssssss scotland ,you almost lost me
We're still here Shaun! Thanks for finding that path and sharing it with us. Looking forward to great videos!
"Welcome back." I'm glad you are following your heart again.
Can you travel to England and Wales? If so, that would give you 3 beautiful, diverse places to share with us. Would love you to interview locals on their recommendations, what they love about where they live, what they don’t. favorite foods, shops, places off the beaten path.
Shaun please go to wales!
You’re a honest and sincere guy. I thoroughly enjoy all your content.
Great great news! This is the stuff I’m interested in! Show me Scotland!!! Show us who want to go to Scotland (again in my case) where to go. Elsewhere too! Travel and exploration is what I thrive on. Got a glass of Scotch in front of me now, so Cheers!
I LOVE your Scottish videos, Shaun. I have wanted to visit Scotland for many years and I'm not sure I'll ever get there. Take care!
Yes, more vids on Scotland!!
Hi Shaun!
Thank you for your videos! When we are all having to stay closer to home than we are accustomed to doing, these videos are a help and a get away. I was born and raised in south Louisiana (Gulf of Mexico coastline) currently live near Memphis, Tennessee. So glad you got to eat good food on your trip to New Orleans. Made me happy to see you happy! You do what your heart and head tells you, and I'll continue to watch your adventures!
I would love to see the landscape and culture of Scotland (and Ireland). Especially the Highlands, because that is where my ancestors (McIntosh clan) are from and I might not ever get the chance to visit in person. Pretty please!😘
Macintoshes were really important to the settling and survival of Brits in Georgia. Oglethorpe (N. England) picked hearty Highlanders including your clan members who stopped Spanish attack s from Florida. Check -out Darien (New Inverness) Ga... Ft. McIntosh in western PA. also.
James George Adamakos thank you!
Mine are from the Orkney Islands and Glasgow. I would love to see those areas.
You be you! If you don’t love what you are doing then you can’t continue being productive! If you travel anywhere that’s great if not then that’s great too! Just be happy with yourself and have fun
Shaun, I am looking forward to sharing your experiences wherever they may be.
I'm so glad you're going back to Adventure Everything, I love it! As an American I love watching you discover the US and seeing it through new eyes. I do, but i also love watching you discover other places. It's like sharing an experience. It's getting to see places, people, food, history, etc., that are new to me, maybe even revisit. THAT is why I'm here. If you enjoy what you're doing it translates well, so please enjoy! Thank you for taking us along. Its great. 👍
Please, my grandfather was from Scotland and I'd love to see more about it or anywhere you travel to. Love you Shaun whatever you decide to share with us.
I started watching your channel a couple of years back to get some insider tips on where to visit in Scotland. It was a great move, I showed my cousins that live in Scotland things that they didn't know about - like the wee suspension bridge near Ullapool and the Fairy Pools on Skye. That is much more interesting than watching you eat American chips. Glad that you're returned to normal. I'll keep watching.
I’d love to see you posting about Scotland. I’m from Brazil and since I made an interchange to Scotland, I wanted to make it my new home and your channel was one of the few to make me feel close to my heart homeland. 🧡🧡
So happy you made this decision. Can't wait to see what you've got in store. As long as you're excited about what you're doing, I can guarantee we'll enjoy it.
I found your videos looking for videos on Scotland, so I'm super excited to hear this. Then I saw your American videos. I keep watching because you are personable and really a joy to watch. So, no matter what you post, I'll be watching.
Shaun, I am looking forward to seeing more about Scotland.
I have been blessed with your channel. Share YOUR loves and adventures with this old lady. Live your passion, or die lonely.
Shaun I found you through your Outlander reviews and Scotland info but I stayed for your personality. I don't mind if you're going around here in America or Scotland or anywhere really lol. Have a good day!
Same here, Outlander drew me to this channel, and I now have a great love and appreciation of Scotland, but I like seeing all of his adventures. Doing what you love is always a plus.
me too!!!
Me three!
"I'll do YOU one better.....
WHY is Gamora?!"
Ummm what’s this?
I have been watching (from the states) since before Outlander and just love those drone videos of Scotland and your commentary about your homeland. I continue to watch you and like your videos, but I have to say your Scotland videos and Outlander videos are my favorites even though your travels to the states and elsewhere, are interesting too. I have noticed you don't seem as full of the love of filming as you did. It's ok, everyone's morale has taken a hit since Covid. Just do what you love and I will keep watching. Thanks Shaun!
I think we just want to see you happy and some outdoor adventures. 💟
Yes♡♡♡
Just as long as you still do your Outlander videos if/when Season 6 arrives.
Finally....good on ya Shaun. I found you lookn for Outlander on UA-cam......just sayn
Good.
Do what feels right to you.
Also: Nice gear. I'm a bit envious.
I found you by searching for Outlander and wanting to know more about Scotland so I’m looking forward to your new videos🤗 -from the states
Shaun.. You could read the phone book and "show the pictures" and I'd be happy.
That being said, Scotland is my passion, so more Scotland is a GREAT thing!!!
Shaun, the reason I watch you is YOU! I first started watching you when you went to the Outlander Scottish Games! My ancestors come from Scotland and England. I have always been drawn to anything Scottish, and I look forward to seeing your country! Do what makes you happy Shaun! Your true fans will follow you wherever you go! 😊💕
I really like when you tell a brief history about were your visiting weather it's a castle, Iceland or Brazil
I'm excited to see the travel stuff again.
Hi Shaun. We started watching your videos about Scotland before your trips to America and that’s why we watched you....because my husband and I love Scotland! We’re Americans and glad that you like visiting here, but we enjoy most your videos about the rest of the world. We’re glad you’re getting back to doing what YOU love doing. We’ll be looking forward to all of your future videos. Cheers!
You mentioned the word that many creators forget about “pivoting” it’s a must in any endeavor. You have to try new things and test the waters to introduce new things to your repertoire, but if you pay careful attention you will find that pivoting in a different direction or even back to where you started is integral to success, as long as you have purpose. Also, let’s be honest, the pandemic I. The early months was SCARY, you needed content that kept you safe so we don’t blame you. Take care!
Go wherever you can that sounds fun for you and Tekka. We love your Scotland travels especially 🏴💜
You should do what you love! Thanks for sharing your life and beautiful home with us!
@Jim Elliott Thanks for the correction. Fat fingers day 🤪
So glad to hear that you're getting back to your roots going forward. I've been watching for ages and have missed the videos about Scotland. I hope your adventuring videos will pull in the views you need, because they have a great deal of value. Best of luck!
Sometimes.....going the wrong direction shows us what the right direction is. 😊
Do what makes you happy! Thank you for showing me so much of Scotland (my ancestral homeland) that I may never see otherwise!! 🏰❤️
Hey, we’re along for the ride and love your journey; looking forward to what you have in store. 🤙🏻🙌🏻❤️
If you can go there, the places you should travel to are Canada & New Zealand.
I started watching you because of Outlander. I stayed for the content on Scotland. My great grandmother came from Aberdeen. She was one of the only members of her family to leave. My ancestors go back in Aberdeen for centuries. I understand that Aberdeen isn’t a typical tourist spot, but I love learning about it.
I've enjoyed most of your stuff ,but I understand you need to enjoy what you do , have fun life's to short to be miserable! Cheers from Tennessee
I started watching your videos when Outlander came out on film, so I'm happy to hear that you're going back to your passion because that's what I've always enjoyed watching here. Best wishes, Shaun, and thank you for your openness and honesty. But: please continue to keep yourself and Ticka safe until this COVID19 stuff subsides (which I dearly hope it does!).
Finally! Drones again. It made me smile to think...no more rehashed USA video. The first time was great but it was getting really old. 😁
As a Scottish guy here, I originally subscribed because I enjoyed your vlogs about going on adventures, all I can say is make the content you want to make
Cheers Hamish 😊
To be a youtuber is to create, to be in love with and find joy in what you share with your audience. I started following you because of Outlander, and stayed because of your motto "Adventure Everything". And while the pandemic put a halt on travel, you created and shared from what you had on hand. And you may have defaulted to "top 10" or "the difference between" ...which quite frankly is what "that other guy" does (which is why I don't follow him)...you made it fun, you did, you really did. Never doubt that. I loved your unboxings of what fans have sent you. That shows how you inspire...not on the grand scale...but how you touch our souls on a basic everyday level. Not all of us are travelers, some are happy homebodies. So please don't discount everything that you have brought to the screen under these unusual circumstances. Now...get out there and embrace and adventure EVERYTHING!! ❤
I'm an American, and though I've enjoyed your American content, I came to you because of Scotland and Outlander, and those are still my faves. You have my support and views either way.
It’s always good to experience other cultures. That’s called ‘branching out.’ I admire your dedication to share your roots as well. Your roots keep your culture alive. Thank you, Shaun. You’re a good person and that in itself is admirable.
We love your travel vids. I'm oblivious to your other channel, but we will follow you wherever you go!
Would really really love to watch more videos about Scotland. That’s the reason why I‘m watching your videos. Scotland has so much wonderfull places to explore...
I have to be honest, it's the video's about Scotland that has made me a subscriber! I'm really interested about learning about Scotland, and other places around the UK. It's fun to see other places, but I'm really interested to learn more about places in the UK. We have such a rich history here in the UK, and I'm glad I found your channel! Always do what makes you feel happy! xx
I am so pumped and excited for you! Always follow your passion and heart!
yeah.... right on!!! we will follow you... where ever you may go lolol keep the spirit going! with all of us being stuck at home, your videos are so needed. you make us laugh, you make us want to know more, about you...your travels, Scotland and your heritage! keep up the awesome job!
Hi Shaun! I found your account through your tours of Scotland, and those are the ones I always go back to. You always seemed happy in them, and that’s part of the enjoyment of watching. Thanks for showing me so much of Scotland when I couldn’t go and see it for myself :)
I started watching and subscribing when I found you through searching for Outlander related videos and loved seeing Scotland through your channel. I do miss that terribly.
You do you, Ill be along for the ride! Love everything you post and excited to see what you post in the future!
I found you because of Outlander and I enjoy learning about American-Scotland connections. It's fun to learn about Scotland as well as see your comical reactions to America. Hopefully you can come to America soon!
Thanks Shaun! As part of the diaspora, I love seeing Scotland from afar! (and if and when Droughtlander ends, keep them up too!)
YOU are the reason most people subscribe to your channel I think, not the content of each video. You have such a love for Scotland and you bring it to your viewers, while also celebrating other cultures through a Scottish person's experiences. That's what people love I think. For me personally, I feel connected to a part of myself (I know very little about) through your videos, and I could listen to you talk for hours. Stay true to what makes you happy.
Great Shaun! I’d love to see more about Scotland, and anywhere else!! Love your new camera 😊
I enjoy your travel videos. I have learned about Scotland history and added a few places to my travel bucket list. Do the content that makes you happy!!
Thank-you! I’m looking forward to virtually seeing Scotland with you! Especially since I can’t travel IRL right now.
Well done! Life is about learning to monitor and adjust! As an American that has been to Scotland and loves Outlander, I sincerely enjoy each episode of your vlog.
I do miss your vlogging videos about Scotland and your travels, and I'm glad you got another drone! Those things are nice, I love the shots you can get with them.
Yes! I found your videos because of our mutual interest in Outlander. I continued to watch because of your Scotland videos! Looking forward to seeing more of those!
I like all of the videos you post! I'm glad that you have decided to bring vlogs back to this channel. I'm also glad that you have some adventures coming up, us viewers that live vicariously through your travels have been waiting patiently!
Hooray! I love your original videos! I’m so happy to be able to travel “with” you. Like many Americans, my heritage traces back to Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Thank you for showing me places where my ancestors stomped around. (And, seriously, I just love listening to you talk.) ✌🏼❤️
You are a kind man. I am new to your channel but I love taking your journeys with you. Through ancestry I’ve learned my roots are from Scotland , Ireland , and England. I love seeing the places my ancestors walked and lived. Thank you for all your work to bring this to us and the warm spirit you bring to it. In these times especially we need love and positivity. You are a ray of sunshine☺️. Love from Indiana USA !
I originally tuned into you about a year ago to see video of Scotland. The beautiful historic places & the gorgeous landscaps. However, I have really enjoyed your travel videos of other countries too (ad I mosy likely will never be able to visit any of them)!
Do what makes you happy Shawn. Stay true to you!!!
Shaun, I have always been here because of you and your passion and love for life that comes through so well in your vlogs. I also happen to be fascinated with Scotland, the U.K. and parts of Europe in general. It’s not easy for me to travel but I get a lot of enjoyment in having a true Scotsman show me around. I think you need to do what you are passionate about because that’s what makes your vlogs unique and exciting. Keep up the great work stay true to yourself!!
Yay!! You don't know how happy this video makes me! I have been missing the drone videos a lot. Can't wait for the next vlog! :)
Yessssssss!! I'm so excited. I have been missing all the adventures and beautiful drone shots!! This makes me so happy. Can't wait to see what's coming up! ❤️😀❤️😀
Oooh, I'm excited! I can't wait to see what you bring us Shaun. I find your vlogs absolutely delightful.
Yay for the drone!! I love your trips in Scotland. I will return and see the highlands.
YAY Shaun! I'm so happy you're going to go back to more of your amazing travel/Scotland/adventures! There's nothing wrong with the occasional Top 10 list, but you are such an excellent vlogger that I very much missed your usual content. Right now, being stuck at home, it's even more appreciated. What I like most about your work, though, is how you make it personal. And, of course, your production value is top shelf. Adventure Everything!
I don't know which channel this is, but Scotland seems so beautiful. I enjoy when you tell us of your home. My mom was Scottish and I've always wanted to go see it, maybe I will one day. My Dad's from Switzerland or his people are anyway. If you ever go there it'd be great if you could share. It's great whenever you show us about Scotland or your UK. We see and learn so much.
I always look forward to your videos Shaun. Glad you were able to get some new kit.
I really love your walk about adventures- it definitely attracted me to ya in the 1st place. ( But I will watch anything you do 😻)
Can't wait to see more travel videos!! Thank you for making them!!
I am so excited! I love your videos of Scotland and other places you travel.
So glad to hear you're honouring your passion and getting back in touch with Adventure Everything! Adventure is a mindset- even if we don't get to travel far, there's so much yet to discover close to home.
Also i want that Mavic Mini so badly! (It's so cute!) Can't wait to see what you shoot with it!
Your Scotland travel attracted me to your page and your personality is what made me subscribe. Love all varieties of videos you do and will definitely keep watching.
So glad to hear you are going to go back to your previous style vlogs. Always love to see the vids from around the world, but yes I was filtering what I watched over the last year. Scotland is such a lovely place with so much history. The historic buildings, amazing engineering feats, and simply the most amazing scenery. Travel anywhere, but we appreciate the authenticity! Beautiful country and lots of us with Scottish heritage and pride.
Really happy to hear this! I love watching what you want to share, and I love that you owned up to how you are feeling.
