  • I threw down the gauntlet to Alicja and she accepted the challenge. Here's what happened next...

    I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
    I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

    FAQs:
    WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
    I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
    WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
    Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
    WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
    This is a result of doing all this myself I’m afraid. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday morning is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips!
    WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
    I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
    WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
    The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
    WHERE'S ALICJA?
    She's RIGHT HERE! More like, where's Steve???
    DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
    Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
    WHY THE ADS?
    It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
    CAN I CONTACT YOU?
    I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
    HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
    Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
    DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
    I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for UA-cam Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

    Just to confirm, Alicja REQUESTED a really tough challenge, so to anyone taking it too seriously and having a go at me: it's not as cruel as it may appear, it's just UA-cam remember...🤣

      But it’s not “just UA-cam”. It’s Alicja. Frankly my girlfriend was furious by the end of this video. “If you ever do something like that to me I’ll murder you in your sleep.” She told me.
      And I don’t blame her.
      Even if she requested something “really rough”, it’s your job as her BF to pamper her. Yes maybe you can tolerate that kind of nonsense. And maybe she can tolerate that kind of nonsense. But that doesn’t mean she SHOULD tolerate that kind of nonsense, even when she asks for it.
      This was an opportunity for you to come off as charming in absentia. Set her up on a luxurious - or at least pampered and enjoyable - trip, and she’d be smitten and so would your audience.
      This was a misstep, Steven.

      If you thought this trip was tough, see Noel Phillip's recent tortuous Greyhound journey NYC - LA of several disjointed parts. Greyhound seems to be a dysfunctional company these days in some places. Noel Philips is chiefly an aviation blogger from England who now lives in Texas and nowadays has a more diverse range of blogging themes. He is very down to earth and prides himself on his geekery. Like you and Alicja he sometimes does challenges. Many of his are amusing. It would be great for you to meet sometime on the road / airport. If you do plan to meet one day crossing travel paths, try to bring him a surprise box of Monster Munch - his reaction and appreciation would be priceless and make a good video moment for both.

    Well done Alicja on completing Steve's challenge for you. Definitely not easy having 2 long night journeys in a seat !! Great idea Steve - but wow, £68 just to book the seat next to you !

    You're a legend, Alicja! That day would have absolutely ruined me. The big man definitely has some competition. Fair play to you.

    Good on Steve for being a phone call away to assist Alicja on the London underground, giving her guidance when required.

    Alicja, you did brilliantly with Steve's challenge. The coach journey and overnight train back, would be my worst nightmare. Half expected Steve to appear, as a Knight to the rescue! Hope enjoyed his pizza! You two are just fantastic, keep going with the vlogs. Nice one! ❤😊😊😊

    That's so unfair making Allcja sit in a seat on the sleeper! You could at least have got a bed for her, especially when she brought her PJ'S and all!! 🤣🤣 Great video 👍

    This is such a great video with the challenges for you Alicja. The bus journey did not look very comfortable but you managed to visit many sites in London, at least it was the train to Dundee and taxi back to Montrose. You must of been completely exhausted. Well done you.
