    IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY, IT DOESN’T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE TO ANYONE! Such important words to live by. So brave Mark! You should be so bloody proud of yourself 😁 You are such an inspiration. It makes me so happy to watch your videos and trips to film locations and know I’m not alone in loving this stuff too. 🎃

    This video reminded me of the Winnie the Pooh quote: “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” Congrats on being brave enough to follow your dreams :) ps. when I saw the Blair Witch Project (my fave film) prop camera in real life I had a full on meltdown, I feel your passion fellow nerd ahaha.

    There is nothing more liberating than getting out on your own and exploring this big ol world. Proud of you. It's okay if you can't do it all. You are trying, and that is all that matters. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. You are the best human. You are loved!

    MARK!!!!!! When you was driving through the desert in the middle of the night i was shouting at my laptop "WHAT THE F ARE YOU DOING" lol. All i kept thinking about was the film The Hitcher. lol. Seriously though jokes aside i think you are bloody amazing. What you do and put yourself through is totally awe inspiring. You are an amazing human and totally relatable. We your subs are SO proud of you. Your truly amazing. I really enjoyed this vlog. THANK YOU. x

  • @jeanb4792
    @jeanb4792 Рік тому +11

    I actually find it more inspiring that you knew your own boundaries and chose not to stay where you didn't feel comfortable. Knowing what's right for you and what is not and being able to take care of yourself is so important. People need to learn more to say no when that's the better option for them and I'm sure others will have learned that from you in this video (and many others). I think it's incredible that you do these solo trips. I'd love to get so comfortable in my own company. Keep being true to you. It's refreshing to see someone so genuine. 😊

    This was an amazing record of your adventures, Mark! I loved it how you faced doing really hard things (like the trip through the desert), and trying the clown motel (and deciding it wasn’t for you). You should be so proud of yourself! You definitely inspire bravery and courage to try things that are new-to-you and daunting. You show that it can be accomplished and managed to suit you and please you. You fulfilled a dream to visit all those places from your childhood memories and it’s just FANTASTIC!! You are so right that you have to do these things for yourself. One day you will do it with your special person and they’ll be so lucky to be with a lovely person like you💗🥰.

  • @staceyv8754

    I loved this whole vlog and seeing so many cool places! And I love your message at the end of the vlog - Don't wait to do things - go on your own. I have done some solo travel this year and the thing is, besides when you're at your hotel at night, you're rarely actually alone. You meet so many kindred souls and have so many experiences when you travel on your own that you don't have when you're with someone else or a group of people. Both have their pros and cons, but don't wait to do the things that call to your heart because you're afraid to do them alone.

    As someone who never comments, I just had to comment on this video. This was the most comforting video I think I've ever watched! It felt like a warm hug from you and seeing you take us to all these famous filming locations, that I equally fangirl over, was so cool! Thank you for all you do, Mark, and your wonderful videos. You're such a comforting, relatable, and warm person.

    I think I speak on behalf of many people when I say we are all so proud of you Mark, it’s so refreshing and amazing to see someone living their dreams and doing things they really want to do and doing them alone, not waiting around for anyone else or letting anyone hold you back. It motivates me so much to want to go and do things I would normally avoid doing alone. Keep doing these amazing things and making these amazing memories for you self Mark it’s beautiful to watch and I’m so happy we get to watch all of these lovely experiences and places you visit 🫶🏼💖

    Mark you are such an angel. I never comment, though I think I really should try more. I feel compelled to say thank you for being so open about your journey of doing things for you, while also wanting to find love. I resonate with you on that so very much. I do a lot of projects/travel/events on my own, and feel a sense of shame in admitting that, although I'm happy and grateful to be able do those things myself, of course I would prefer someone special to be there doing life with me. It's a really brave thing to display your emotions and true feelings like that. I appreciate your vulnerability and open nature, and I see you.

So happy for you, I’m a massive Buffy fan and I teared up seeing you visit Sunnydale, I get how much it means - I would feel the exact same. Such a surreal and awesome experience. Also loved the Charmed house ❤ super happy you got to experience it all, I hope to one day!

You’re proof you can go out there and have an amazing time! I want to do what you do, but my parents worry for me being alone as a young woman…(which I totally understand!) Thank you Mark for the videos! Please go out and do more solo adventures because you’re never alone - we are all there with you! ❤

I did something similar when I was 27 and single - I got into a car at San Francisco airport and momentarily freaked out because I had to drive on the wrong side in an automatic car in unfamiliar surroundings without my family or friends at the end of the phone! (Because of the time diff they were asleep) it truly was the making of me and I learnt so much about myself. And watching you live your dreams brought it all back, as well as feeling an overwhelming sense of pride for you xxx well done!
