Hi Mark! Thanks for getting Scotty on! I came across tgus guy about 8 months ago and really enjoyed his content. The way he travels around and narrates, it's the best travel vlog ever! Take care!
Nice interview with Scotty, (regular guy). I subscribed to his channel when he was still telling his stories, some of them I will always remember. I first arrived in the Philippines before the demic, and am back again for the 3rd time. Scotty's minimalist style is a good mindset to have, if you plan on living as the locals do. Most people here don't have the trappings of the western lifestyle, think flush toilet, screens on windows, toasters, etc. I've lived in big beautiful new homes, and been flat brokeand everything in-between, stuff is a distraction from real beauty, and the true meaning of life. I'm happy for you, and to hear you are blessed with a loving relationship. I'm in Mindanao, and will be married soon, to a lady I got to know in 2019. If we get to Dumaguete , perhaps we will meet you at the favorite coffee shop. Enjoy your day.
Hi Mark, thanks for having Scotty on. That was a great interview. I enjoyed listening to his story. I’ve been watching him for a long time as I’ve been watching your channel now for a couple of years. I enjoy your coffee. Thank you sir.
Great interview. I liked hearing about Scotty's history and how he ended up in the Philippines. I've watched a few of his videos and really liked the one he did during his visiting a small city in Mindanao called Malaybalay. I've added that city to my list of places to visit when I get to the Philippines. I'm looking forward to Scotty reporting on his visits to out-of-the-way places with his new scooter. Mark: if you get to visit the waterfalls at that hot spring, I'd like to hear about it--it sounds like the kind of places I like to visit when traveling.
Mark takes control of the interview because as we know Scotty Boy is long winded and if you don't want to hear how the waters parted don't get him started 😊. Nice interview 👍
Omg ..!!.. My future boyfriend from Canada has finally reached the interview seat & is being interviewed by no other than Americas finest Johnny Carson in the Philippines 💺 Great interview 👍 Greetings from Ireland 🎉
Great interview Mark and I’ve enjoyed following Scott’s channel. I like how you both touched on how certain places can either resonate with you or not. I arrive back in the Philippines on Sunday and can’t wait. Thanks for sharing and see you soon. 🙏
Scotty boy is an interesting character. I had no idea he was Teaching in Korea for 20 years. Another great interview proving once again that Everyman has a Story.
I’ve been a subscriber of Scotty’s channel on YT for about a year now and he’s just a fantastic talent. Met him twice in person in Vancouver and he’s just a fantastic guy. He has quite a strong testimony about his love for the Philippines. Excited for his new travels around the country on his new scooter. Thank you Every Man Has a Story for this interview. I’m a subscriber of yours now thanks to this video and will definitely be watching your other vids. Cheers!
It is amazing that the love was "stuck in time". The part that you love only exists at that point in the past. Both of you have grown and different now and you really can't get that back. That realization is very powerful, and it reminds me of Star Trek, TNG episode: The Dauphin. Weasley tells Guinan: "I will never feel that way again". And Guinan says: "Your right, oh there will be others, but it will be different." Too bad it takes us until 40 or 50 to realize that.
Thanks again Mark for the great interview. I have watched Scott's channel a few times in the past and wasn't a huge fan but you seem to get people to tell the most interesting things about themselves i an definitely going to subscribe to his channel now.
Thank you Mark & Scotty Regular Guy. You two killed it in the best of ways, such great content with passion and understanding and mutual respect! Best you two gents, be well. Part II, please!
Really good interview and conversation. You both did a good job. Scotty, I have been watching you for some time and this was really good to see you open up, so well spoken. Thank you both.
Thanks for meeting Scotty. Scotty is a good guy. If you wonder about him, it is just his personality and how he looks at things. If you look it several different ways, there is often a funny side to things. And, as some say, it is just entertainment. All the vloggers contribute a great to the common topic of living in the PH as an expat. Our common thread we all have is freedom of speech with vids and vlogging. The platform of Ytube allows anybody in the world to participate in in free voice. Let us all have fun with it. Scotty is the young one, he brings a different side to living in the PH. All is good, all is fun. Good times, great job.
great interview guys. well done to both of you. Scotty is such an eclectic individual and he has a fascinating back story. oh damn, now I'm missing the phils......again
Hey Mark, there was a super great interview Scotty tends to have a quirky personality, and when he's being interviewed by other RU-vidrs he tends to be uncomfortable in his own skin this is perhaps the first time I've seen him relaxed and it was a great interview I'm happy for both of you. Scotty, if you read this and I'm sure you will, I look forward to meeting both you and Mark, Gio, Paul old dog.. and a few others. My plan is to retire to the Philippines in the June/July time frame. I already purchased all my cameras and gear, with the intent of developing my own RU-vid channel. Mark, I always love watching your channel. Congratulations on the baby!
Hey Scott. Come to Southern Leyte, we are moving there in June and we have a smaller house you can rent. Where we are is almost remote, close to the ocean and the mountain.
The citizens of the PH seem to be very welcoming. It seems like they appreciate Westerners in their country. It seems like they know Westerners really love their ladies and will really care for them. The PH actually say hello back. Where I live in US, I constantly say hi in public to all the workers. Everybody is afraid to resond back.
Scottie is a real expat, ie teaching English in S Korea for 20 years! It’s the real expats who can go the distance in SE Asia because of their life experience. For the rest of us who’ve only lived in our home countries it’s more challenging. Thailand has advanced more rapidly than PH. Bangkok and Manila aren’t comparable nowadays. The former has freeways that look like LA or Houston and an MRT. Driving in Manila is a nightmare and the public transport is almost entirely Jeepneys. The people are wonderful in PH as is the landscape of seas and mountains.
Loved the interview , he didn't know what love was.. People fall into into infactuation or it's a "romantic love " Ask thr older generation, love is through the sunshine and the rain; a lover which becomes less important over time and then a best friend, an a partner , adviser , shoulder to cry on etc....most people don't finish anymore . Best of luck to Scott. Keep staying positive ❤
The name of the resort you mentioned is Mambukal Resort & Wildlife Sanctuary at Murcia town just less than 30 km from Bacolod city owned by Provincial Government of Negros Occidental, very big resort, offer ziplining and trekking up the seven falls Japanese-style bathing in the bathhouse or take a dip in the sulfur pool which is known to be good for the skin, they have a home care for elderly but I think it's just for Japanese
Have been on Scottys u tube been following his trips very nice guy he very good with his chats and hope he finds what he wants girl wise he is a lovely man. wish i was younger haha, thanks Mark for a great guest, x
You know the thing about Thailand is that because of its infrastructure, and attractive women it is very very enticing place for an American to live..But the realities really hit you hard when you stay even 3 years in Thailand…For example the reality is if you as a westerner cannot read or speak Thai it is a severe handicap..And there will be times when you have to hire a Thai lawyer just to get documents done and those are the times when you regret not being able to speak Thai…another reality is the Thai govt really doesn’t want the older westerner to live there..They put all kind of financial limits on a retirement visa….Reality is this..yes the Thai women are beautiful but the reality is they would rather converse in Thai than in English with you..I notice that even the highly educated Thai women who are fluent in English were very materialistic when being courted by a western man…They only wanted a man that could elevate their status….The ones that spoke perfect English and had a degree were fairly picky on the type of farang their were looking for…them is just facts…so basically said all this to say phillipines is the logical choice for men from the US..
I agree with here being home. I'm married to a Filipina and have been living here for going on 5 years. Canada is no longer my home. I would only like to return to visit family, then quickly return to my home; the Philippines.
Hi Mark, thank you for interviewing Scotty. Thank you Scotty for loving the Philippines. Mark, I love to hear that you & Scotty are like me........we don't like to hear when somebody say bad things about the Philippines especially when it is not true. I agree if it is true.
Is Scotty Boy still in search of one good girl? How many years has this Diogene's search been? I can imagine him in that cement house off the grid in the province with a harem to meet all of his quirky picky needs, and perhaps the biggest need of all being not tied down to just one nice girl. Guess he could go Muslim in Mindanao, and then it'd be legal. But I hope otherwise; I hope some hot kind smart Morena finally tames his restless heart.
Glad you did this interview. I became anti Scott after he ditched Tim k. I'm gradually warming back up to him but like others. Especially Tcav/seal/ legionaire. Nobody respects quitters. Regardless of how badass they are.
