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
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.
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.
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. ❤🇺🇸😊
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! 😊
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 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!
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!
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, ...
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’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. ❤️
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!
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.
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.
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
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. 🧡🧡
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.
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.
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.
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'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. 👍
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.
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!
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 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. ❤
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!
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! 😊💕
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!
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!).
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
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!
I somehow found your videos one day, and the first ones I saw were in Scotland. That has been my dream trip, but wasn’t able to go this year. So, loving all of your videos!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
Hallelujah!! Thanks Shaun for going back to your original format. I'm an American and found your channel earlier this year and loved all of your travel videos. I've gone back and watched every single video of yours up through October 2017 and they've gotten me through this horrible pandemic! I thank you for doing these videos and making the decision to go back to your roots!! I can't wait to see more Adventure Everything videos in Scotland and wherever you travel to!
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!! ❤
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 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!
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 :)
Glad to watch this video, Shaun. Gotta say I was not enjoying your recent content, but realized the whole Covid thing was limiting you. Here's to 2021 being good for travelers! I'm here for the long run. :)
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.
The reason I started watching your videos was to find out about Scotland; so glad to hear you’re returning to your original format. Just keeping doing what you are.👍🏴
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!
Wow, Shaun, that was fun to see you so excited for all your new equipment. 😍I was blown away by the shear size of all those instruments of your trade,. Now for you to use them on the next tour of the lands of my mother, Scotland 🏴 I’m 3rd generation and seeing the homeland means so much to me. Thank you for all you do for us. Your Scotland Vlogs are a piece of my heart ❤️ and I really thank you for it. They really make my day🤩👏
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!! 🏰❤️
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!!
I could not have asked for a better video from you!!! Scotland is what I want to see and I love when you take us to all the places you love to visit in Scotland. I'm planning a trip to Scotland in 2021 and I have a notebook of places that you have shown on your channel where I want to go. So many of those places would have been missed if I hadn't seen you sharing vlogging about them!! Thank you for going back to your roots!! 😊❤️
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!
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! ❤️😀❤️😀
Thanks for being true to you. Love the OG Scotland and travel content and will always support you/ your videos regardless. Keep up the great work Shaun!
I started watching because I loved the travel and the connection you explored between the US and Scotland. My family originally settled in North Carolina and Virginia and were what my family called Scots-Irish, we then moved to Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri. We eventually settled in California. I loved watching a Scotsman explore the huge impact His people made on the US. Keep doing what you love❣️❣️❣️
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.) ✌🏼❤️
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.
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.. 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!!!
