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?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
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.

Sometimes it's hard to comprehend just how difficult it must be producing content constantly. You wouldn't think there's much inspiration in a simple journey of 3 flights and a short bus ride but you've grown into the job so much over the last couple of years that making twenty minutes of engaging content from it seems to come without any difficulty. Of course we don't see the amount of work behind the scenes with the editing, music selection etc, Good to see you made it home safely.
I genuinely appreciate this!!!
@@steve-marsh You have something very special & modest to boot.
I couldn't have said it any better. There can't be many who produce such engaging content!
And you're so likeable, Steve. I love your videos.
Agree with all of this. Great guy, great job!
I laughed more than I should have at the JAWS tail fin part lol. great video
Same! Quite frantically, my cat looked at me like 'What the f hooman, u ok?' 😂 Loved the video, always relaxing to watch. 😊
It was excellent!
Me too !!
Yh that was fab tickled me too
I think we all did :)
That intro sums Steve up perfectly. Brilliant.
1. Get home.
2. Film it.
Awesome.
I loved the Jaws music, very amusing. Well done Steve!
I love your sense of humor even when you are exhausted I’m sure! The jaws theme was perfect! God bless and thank you!
Aww thanks :)
I not only laughed at the jaws portion, I had to replay it and laugh again! I am traveling right now as well, and this is me stopping for “a wee Steve Marsh break.”
That made me laugh too 😂
My dad worked for KLM so as a family we traveled quite a bit. The sounds of air travel - from the plane noises to the background chatter of the passengers - are the most relaxing sounds. I use videos like this to fall asleep every night. Thank you!
I really love how normal and relatable your content is. Connections, walking, bus stops in the dark, your DIY approach. This is how I like to do things. It’s so refreshing when every other thumbnail these days is 72 Hours in First Class XYZ.
Sir, I have to say, I wish what is available on TV was as good as watching your videos. Thank you for taking us on all of these adventures.
Well said, my hubby is hooked now too.
Steve, my 92 year old father in law loves your channel.
Ian from Monifieth. 👍🐈⬛
One thing I love about Scandinavian and Sweden in particular. The bus drivers are always super friendly and helpful 🤩
It’s hard. To arcticulate how much I enjoyed this series. I just lapped it up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍 from 🇦🇺
There's something really cool about you using public transport on so many of these trips. Makes it seem so much more accessible. Thanks for proving it can be done ❤
Hi Steve. Just to say thank you so much for sharing this wonderful trip, we have so enjoyed your journey. Beautiful places and stunning scenery. Glad you got home safe eventually even if it was to more snow 😊. Looking forward to your next adventure xx
I'm also a FlightRadar24 member. I find it quite relaxing to watch the aircraft buzzing around the stratosphere.
Steve I don’t know how you do it - making an all day trek on buses, planes and a van all the way home, but after this one, I felt like I was the one who’d experienced the long journey home! Beautifully done sir!
You did well to remain cheerful at the end of such a long journey. I did a return flight from Amsterdam to Stockholm and back with KLM in 2019 for 100 Euros. Both flights were enjoyable.
Never ceases to amaze me how Scandinavian airfields / airports remain open in the most unfriendly of weather and temperatures 🤷♂️
Brilliant sense of humor on a long and difficult journey home,
Hope you slept well and didn’t dream of Jaws tail planes or fin’s chasing you, let alone the shoe-less foot touching you 😂😂
Great video Steve
Keep em coming 💪
Another excellent video, Steve - and as a former airline executive [Delta Air Lines], you were in excellent hands with SAS and KLM, two of the very best airlines in the industry... 👍
The 'Jaws' tail fin made us laugh out loud. So good. 😂
Wow Steve. Brilliant presentation as always.thankyou..goodness knows how you manage to stay awake..hard going but we all appreciate your videos...beautiful footage..🤩🍔🍺
Fantastic video again Steve & your return home from Sweden. Even though it was mighty cold, the places you visited looked very interesting. Thanks for sharing with us.... and i loved the Jaws music - brilliant ! :)
Hi Steve, I really enjoyed your travel to the Arctic. I admire your dedication to your thought processes and time taken to plan these journeys.
Have to admit: I'm kind of addicted to your videos! Thank you so much!!
How sad to leave Sweden behind. It looks majestic! You make the travel part look easy! Thanks for the Sweden Series - really great videos and interesting adventures!
What a privilege to visit Kiruna with you. Thank you
The beautiful nature of flight sends one’s imagination wild with intrigue because one minute you’re here & the next you’re there in a different world 😮😊
That "JAWS" part was awesome and cunningly sharp made up! 😂 Great video as always!!
That WAS a long day, but you weathered it like a champ! Thanks for bringing us in your carry-on! 😉😊
Loved your Jaws reference with tail of the KLM plane, very cute. Another great video.
Oh Steve. What a journey. So enjoyable to watch from the comfort of my armchair in my warm home. Credit to the Swedes for how they cope with such icy conditions. Bet your heart sank at the task of “deicing” your snow laden car in Aberdeen. You must have been so cold! 🥶
I'm happy he decided to visit my part of the world. As for the icy conditions - it's not that bad.
The Swedes know how to do snow properly !
Only the northernmost bits of Sweden these days I'm afraid.
@@AuroraJadefyre what are you talking about? This winter it's been snowing everywhere except Skåne since November 😂
@@3amigos919 true but them lots can’t handle the snow. Complete chaos
Really 🤣🤣@@AuroraJadefyre
@@3amigos919It's lazy English on OPs part. 'Doing snow properly' could refer to the amount of snow Sweden gets, the quality of it or the public/state reaction to getting a large amount of it.
Realy enjoyed this trip. I feel knackered just watching it! 😮💯❄️❄️
Nobody but you can make such a journey so compelling. I realise this isn't the true experience, but your skill at making these videos is unquestioned. Dare I say there's an ASMR quality to these travel day videos, especially when they're free from jeopardy. I loved this.
Steve “Spielberg” Marsh directs Jaws spoof 😂 good yin
Hi Steve - I used to know Stockholm's Arlanda airport very well as back in 1995 I was working over in Moscow & used to fly back & forth via Stockholm with SAS once a month. Indeed for about 12 months I was a gold card frequent flier. Happy days! 😎
Steve ur my favorite travel channel, genuine person🎉😊
I have been both in Kiruna and Montrose, went to School in Jokkmokk and worked at NOV in Montrose, had a alligator burger at a pub in Montrose.
What a wonderful vid for us! Thanks so much for valiant day and night filming. I loved it and enjoy your humour!
Steve, considering you had 3 flights, 2 buses and a long drive, remarkably it went all smoothly. Keep up the content, as always refreshing and relatable to us normal folks like yourself!
What a boxset of movies!! I liked the "Jaws" theme when the tailplane went past!! Very droll!! Many thanks Steve.
Those long travel days are exhausting; they are part of the price of travel I guess. Thanks for sharing.
What was interesting here was in Glasgow if there is a slight frost the plane is delayed whilst they defrost the wings. In tge Artic you could build a snowman on them and away they go.😊
What a slog! Bet it felt good to sleep in your own bad that night. The way you edited out the curse word and later added the Jaws theme gave me quite a laugh. Thanks again Steve!
I love the hilarious Jaws music as we watch the fin of the plane taxi past. For a guy traveling all day Steve I love how you keep your sense of humor
A weekday bonus video is a treat to the eyes, love the content as always ❤
That was indeed a sad-looking breakfast. Do come back and film in Sweden at some point, however, it's been great to see! As others have pointed out, even most Swedes haven't visited the polar circle, so it's been a treat to follow it via your lens.
Yes, it was really tragic looking. I'm still wondering what it actually was, or intended to be.
@@andrewpreston4127A cheese sandwich/wrap thing made with a "thick" flatbread called polar bread.
Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Standard breakfast for many Swedes. Delicious with a cup of chocolate even. Very, very cheap of SAS though. The exact same product is sold at grocery stores for like €2
Yet again, it is a very enjoyable film. Looking forward to your next adventure 😀
Hi again Steve, I enjoyed it, your some guy, you take us all over the place.
I liked the K L M to the Jaws theme tune, wee laugh there. Thank you, from me in Irvine 😁
Really nice to get an extra film from you.enjoyed the jaws and clock parts
I'm sitting here in my warm room, looking out the plane window at the snow beside the runway, and shivering 🤣
The captain on the last KLM flight sounded like Mentour Pilot, can you imagine that one UA-camr flying another UA-camr to their destination. Thanks Steve nice air travel video.
That would be my dream!
I’ve really enjoyed this series of clips Steve, looks like you had a great time, bet you slept for a week after though 🤣🤣✊
You are a lucky man to do all this traveling!
Have you thought about kitting out the back of your van with a makeshift bed and somewhere you can sleep occasionally? For me, your journey was, although very good but very long and tiring. And it must have felt great to finally get to Aberdeen, but imagine when you get to your van, you could have a nice well rested nap before driving back home!
I so enjoy yourn videos from the comfort of my home. I don't much like flying but enjoy watching you get about so easily it seems. Mind how you go mate!
Excellent. Loved the flight views. Always amazed at how quickly the plane is suddenly airborne . I have really enjoyed your Northern journeys.
What a lovely surprise - a video from my favourite youtuber ❤❤
It looked absolutely gorgeous but perishing at the same time. Glad you got home safely xxx
Thank you so much for this journey it was beautiful and a place I have always wanted to see. I really love the jaws theme as KLM was disappearing 😂. So happy you made it home safely 🤗❤️
Ah yes! The Sky Shark migration in the Netherlands is a sight to see!
Thanks for the bonus video Steve. Always enjoy your videos and already looking forward to where you go next on your travels 👍🙂
I really enjoyed your Arctic circle travels. It amazes me that despite the freezing cold and snow. These places just get on with life it is really impressive.
Thank you for another great video Steve. I loved the Jaws music combo with the KLM tail fin at Schiphol, nice touch 😊
I bet back in the glory days of small airlines with turboprop planes, a Fokker F-27 or Vickers Viscount would have taken you straight from Kiruna to Embra.
Thanks for sacrificing your arse for these insights! 🤗 There's no way it hasn't been frozen off on that rip! 🥴
What I really enjoy with your videos Steve is the naturalness, it is like actually going on a trip with you, nothing fancy just real life, just as it is, it makes me want to go where you have been. I have watched your videos for some time but I seldom comment on anything here on youtube. Yours though are outstanding in their plain presentation.
Great video yet again especially the filming of the take off .
you must love snow !
Thanks for another great video Steve. I bet everywhere you travel has better roads and pavements than montrose, they're deadly!
Thank you for sharing your journey home with us and I seriously can’t believe how much snow was on your car
Really enjoyed watching this video and the views were spectacular! And you even managed to bring the arctic weather back home with you!
Hi Steve Paul from Kent again another fabulous loved the ABBA pictures on the wall at Stockholm airport my favourite pop group glad you enjoyed the experience looked wonderful take care Paul
Another fantastic vlog mate, keep up the good work to keep us entertained!!
Great shot featuring ABBA ;-)
I felt your pain. That long journey all the way from Swedish Lapland only to find your car encased in snow and having to dig it out before the final leg of your journey. I bet you slept well that night! ☃🏁
Stive love your channel your incredible and amazing buddy 😎you keep me happy thank you for being such a amazing person
You earn your money Steve, I’m exhausted just watching you journey home, thanks for the video.
Three flights and your almost home, not too bad in one day, from snow to snow, not much changes except the language, All the best Steve.
I just love the weird and beautiful light from the sky at those high latitudes
What an exciting journey ,less stressful from here watching ,feeling with you the cold and the beauty,thank you!😊
Thank you from someone who finds it hard to switch off
❤. These last two videos have made me fall in love with you.
Ah, thanks for the weekday bonus video, Steve. Kudos for finding some humor @ 17:05 after a stressful flight. 😅
Great video again Steve. Getting some lovely adventures under your belt 👍👍
Cheers Rob!
Seeing you travel in winter is so much more fun than in the summer. What a boring time waiting around but you made it. Great series from Sweden with extra videos too.
Get Home Well,dear Steve.......what an adventure..... Blessings and greetings from Daggy Kiel Germany ☘️☘️☘️
Really enjoyed that Steve, many thanks! Not gonna lie, when I saw the amount of snow piled up on your car, for a split second I thought we were going to get a bonus-bonus video of your late-night expedition from Aberdeen to Montrose 🤣
I’m still in awe of that ice hotel it really was fantastic
Safe travels home
Class vlog. Maintaining a terrific quality but that's what Super Steve delivers 😊😊
I'll like that one just for the Jaws music 🤣
Thanks for the mid week bonus Steve.You manage to make a return journey seem so interesting.ooh and we got a glimps of Jaws too!! Excellent as usual Steve .❤
That's the airport bus I drive every other weekend and that's my colleague driving 😄
Cool beans !
What a great place to drive a bus!
Steve my friend,
I thank you always for leaving raw the sounds of flight operations. You are the best. Of course that I enjoy your narrations, but being able to hear the sounds in natural volume without commentary, takes us there with you. ✈️
PS Hilarious Jaws theme and the censored pain in... the comment. You outdid yourself in this one. 😂
Have been really enjoying these series of videos, so interesting & enjoyable so well done 👍👍👍
You know it's cold when the snow sounds like that
🤣...Jaws music ( or the music to the film!).....SO funny, loved that
I just got back from a trip to Norway, seeing Oslo and Bergen, taking the same train you did but stopping off to do the Flam railway and cruise. Although I didn't love either city, the cruise was more than worth the trip. Funnily enough, for most of the flight from London to Oslo the Pilots had the door to the flight deck open which I could see into from my seat for some great views.
When the weather is bad and people don't want to take the car out, who do they depend on? Public transport! Having worked on railways and buses, I can tell you the public who want to travel underappreciate what a good job is done for them. The good news, Steve, is that you didn't clear all that snow off only to find that it wasn't your car!
Ok. You made me blow beer out my nose with the KLM Jaws routine! 🤣🤣
Stunning view's from the plane window.i don't realy like flying but love looking at the land as we take off and land.i think my brain is playing tricks .at 5pm last night I was sitting looking for your vlog.thought perhaps you hadent posted it .but eh its just come up.senior moment.🥴
Wow, what an amazing adventure. Thanks for a brilliant video diary of your journey
Ahh, SAS, fond memories.
Would fly from London to Copenhagen. Then Copenhagen to Aarhus on a small silver plane with propellors! Did that trip many times when my friend lived in Viborg, Denmark 🙂
Hi Steve
With your last few videos I have had to make a real effort to watch them. I can only describe the experience as mind over matter
WHY?
It’s just so cold there. We in Britain do not get these extremes and when you are walking on the snow it’s that ICY that it sounds like HOUSE BRICKS being rubbed together/CHALK on a CHALKBOARD - sends me teeth on edge
👍 👍 ❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴
Thanks again, Steve. Loved it. 👍🙂
19:41 is why I do not miss living in the UK one bit. I used to drive 50,000 miles a year and in winter it was horrible. Now, I haven't seen snow for nearly 20 years! 🙂
