I Took A SLEEPER TRAIN To SCOTLAND! Most MAGICAL Trip To ABERDEEN! (Solo Travel Diaries)ad 

Hey Mark! I’ve been a silent watcher for a few years but you’ve always been such a comfort person to me. I’ve just done my first solo trip for two nights and it’s all down to you. I watched all your old vlogs on the trip which continue to inspire me and comfort me. Please don’t ever change you are wonderful human and deserve ALL the love and happiness 🩷

I swear just the existence of Mark in this world makes it so much better, there is something about these vlogs that just feels so nostalgic

I have driving anxiety...to the point where it stops me from exploring local areas alone because i get too scared to drive there!!! I'm so proud of you for still exploring....in foreign places at that...alone and driving everywhere, even though you have driving anxiety! You're truly inspiring, Mark!! 💜

Not me laughing at my phone, watching mark casually drink out of a water jug 😂😂😂

I can’t tell you how much this video has warmed my heart, just seeing you being so comfortable with yourself and just soaking up life with so much gratitude is so inspiring x

Anyone else excited for mark to do vlogmas this year! Honestly loved this video, highlight was mark casually drinking out of the jug 😂

As an Aberdonian myself it’s crazy seeing you explore our city and the surrounding areas. I absolutely love you sharing this side to what adventures you can go about and find. Ferris we hope you enjoyed Aberdeen and exploring not just known parts of Scotland but city itself.

when mark sings “just around the river bend” to express how he’s feeling… i really felt that. ♥️

Pouring that red wine while the train was wobbling all over the place was just what I needed today! Really made me laugh. Your videos inspire us loads Mark😁🧡🏳️‍🌈

This was the COZIEST vlog! Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Mark! This really makes me want to visit Scotland.

YOU & these travel vlogs give me such a zen feeling!🤍 I’m a Mummy to 3 young daughters. I don’t have the time or financial means to do what you do, so I love I can enjoy discovering these new places through you! You truly have a heart of gold Mark. I’m not surprised Zoe became best friends with you! Also 1 of my guilty pleasures is just watching you 2 laugh, sing & shop! And if it wasn’t for Zoe becoming friends with you, I’d be oblivious to your existence, so I’m thankful. Never change and continue living your best life!🤍xx

I’m getting married in Banchory and reception is at Maryculter Hotel so this vlog is the best thing ever! So glad you enjoyed it 😭❤️

Hi Mark, you have inspired me today. I felt your raw emotions and vulnerability. I don’t feel so alone today. Thanks so much xoxo🇨🇦🤍

My home! 😍 so happy you enjoyed your trip to Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, you’re welcome back any time! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦭

Hi mark the emotions you felt was scotland entering your heart there's a spirituality about the countryside I'm proud to call it my home glad you enjoyed it and haste ye back anytime ❤

"Remember...I'm still a Libra...and I'm still Mark Ferris."🤣 Made me laugh. Haha. I'm a Libra as well so I can relate. Loving all your videos Mark.🥰❤

as someone who lives in rural aberdeenshire i loved watching you go round all the little places i love. so many people only visit glasgow or edinburgh when they come to scotland but the north east is truly beautiful! I'm glad you had a good time

Im so honoured that the first place you came to on your solo travels journey was york! I live there and I'm so happy you came here as your first experience to push you on travelling alone :) ❤

Mark, u should absolutely do the night boat from England to The Netherlands (where i live) you have your own cabin with ensuite. You can take your car or go as a foot passenger. You would love it. It comes into Hook of Holland

Hey Mark! I’ve watched you for years now and you have shown me that it’s okay to do things yourself and I’ve started my solo travel journey last year. I’ve been to 6 different countries myself since then all because of you! Thank you for helping me explore the things I love and not being scared of what others think ❤

Anyone lucky enough to be your friend better cherish you. You're such a gem.

Morning Mark, I just want to tell you how much of a comfort blanket you are to me. I suffer horrifically with panic attacks and anxiety. I was recently diagnosed with C-PTSD & agoraphobia, too. So I am living vicariously through you. I tend to save yours, Zoe's and Alfie's uploads until I'm having a really anxious night - like tonight. It's 4:20am and I've just binged a few of your videos, including this one. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. I'm so proud of you and all you have overcome in order to live your dream life. I pray for nothing but luck, love and happiness for you. Whatever man bags you in the future is one lucky son of a beach. Keep being you. You're incredible ❤❤

Cannot BELIEVE you came to my home town!? Im gassed!!! My sister is on a solo travel journey and i have been sending her all your IG photos and videos

I feel like you are meant to be there ❤ love you mark !

“I’m still a libra. I’m still Mark Ferris.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 always fun to watch you

It makes me so happy to see you enjoy your own company! It’s encourages me to have more me-days ❤️

Mark ❤ Laughed multiple times watching this. You’re so naturally funny. I’m also glad you survived the jungle

I lost it when he started singing just around the river bend 😂😂

This is one of my favourite solo travel vlogs of yours! I love Scotland it is beautiful and this felt so calm and relaxing to watch! I felt emotional with you ❤

love that he says ‘us’ and ‘we’

i’ve watched you on zoe’s channel since you became friends but i’ve never gotten round to watching your channel. I’ve never felt so at home whilst watching someone on youtube. You’re so pure and genuine and these videos are so comforting! i’m leaving for uni in a few weeks and i already know i’m going to be binge watching ur vlogs to help me feel at home. Thank you xxx

When you take time out to see the beauty of this earth, it really is so profound ❤

Driving anxiety 🙋🏼‍♀️ I always thought you were so chilled getting in the car, so I feel better knowing I’m not alone 🥲 I’m also Scottish and love watching your vlogs exploring here ☺️⛰️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Love these travel vlogs. I moved from the UK to Tel Aviv over 10 years ago now and watching your videos always gives me so much comfort and joy. Thank you!

mark you are so sweet & relatable! i used to watch your videos all the time, and just started to again! i love that u make videos that make us feel at peace and home. your so authentically yourself & i love that for you. ALSO, when u got to scotland and did the scenic views around the hotel, i had a familiar feeling that i’ve been there before. maybe in a past life, lol. but now i’m definitely adding wanting to go to scotland to the bucket list.

Very smart, Mark! You’re an amazingly sensible person to recognize that you were not equipped for that journey down to the falls. Good on you! Your hotel was so nice to upgrade you AND let you check in so early. Amazing place. Will keep this hotel in mind for our next travels to Scotland.

Oh Mark - love these solo travel vlogs! I totally understand how you were feeling when you got emotional at that amazingly beautiful place in Scotland. I used to do so much solo travel a few years ago and I miss it so much! I will try to incorporate it again but it’s harder now I’ve had a baby! I guess family travel is the way for me now which is also amazing but wow yes take it all in Mark!!! Make the most of it - nature is beautiful and it’s what healed me when i had any anxiety and sadness! Love ya xxx

Your videos are such a comfort, these comments are 100% right - feels so nostalgic and emotional🫶🏻🥺

I also appreciate that you left in the stuff that didn’t go to plan, like the waterfall and the quarry. It’s more realistic, like that’s what travel/holiday is actually like! Some bits are great and some bits don’t really work out or aren’t so great. Xxx

I dont often comment but you left me with such a warm fuzzy feeling watching this video , I love all your solo trip videos you are such a beautiful person inside and out! Keep on inspiring 💗💗

Mark, let yourself cry when you feel it. That's very healing. Don't hold back your tears. That's so beautiful, to cry. ❤❤❤

Ahh I can't believe you went to Aberdeen!! My hometown ❤️ hope you had a really lovely time xxxx

I love it when you get emotional. So pure 💛.....it's cleansing! Can't you feel it!?

You are so humble 🥹 we love you for you which is amazing, not only for us but for you too, so many people adoring you for being yourself 😍

Why was I crying at the 33 minute mark!!!! The music was so beautiful 😢 your travelling videos are my comfort ❤

That's not hackley Bay. That's collieston. The same place you drove to just a bit further in. Hackley Bay is like a hidden area which is stunning but difficult to find. I grew up with Newburgh seal beach on my doorstep! Love seeing you enjoy the local area!! Banchory is pronounced bank ory Maryculter is pronounced Mary cooter Dunnottar is pronounced di notter The joys of Scots pronunciation 😂😂

i also have driving anxiety! started when i was younger and has only now started to dissipate, inspiring to see you pushing thru!

Mark....✨✨ When you take us on these magical trips with you and you get emotional.... I can feel the emotion with you....💜💜💜

I just love mark watching your solo trips feels like I’m there with you when you tear up so do I you bring so much joy to are lives your aWAys thanking us THANK YOU MARK FERRIS!!!! LOVE YOU❤️❤️

I understand why you got so emotional....that scenery was breathtaking and gorgeous !!! I will probably never get to see it in person so thank you for sharing it with us. btw you stayed at some very lovely hotels!!!

As an Aberdonian, I absolutely ADORED this solo trip adventure vlog x

I now live in the Scottish Highlands and it is just heaven...It makes a lot of people cry...it is a magical place

Hey mark. I love your solo vlogs so much - you have really inspired me to do more things on my own and i have been loving it. I went to the cinema the other day got the sofa style chair and relaxed it was great. Ive done a solo trip to France this year to visit friends. Its been amazing! I am not sure if i would fly any further just yet but i will try it one day. Next trip alone is Glastonbury up to a b&b and to visit the godess temple and meet new people on a retreat. Love ya vlogs so much! keep them going, x

Mark you are a beautiful, genuine soul. Watching your videos are so refreshing and comforting. Thank you, sending you love ❤️

37:51, it’s literally the craziest thing seeing the town I live in your vlog. I hope you had the most amazing time!! 🥰

Hi mark. I am one of those 60 year old gen zs. I thought your video an amsterdam was fantastic. You felt the energy right away and was genuinely sad to leave. So many today do not realize the privilege bestowed on them. Hope you return and make another. Its an amazing place that I cant get out of my head. ps. Xmas is just as good with half the crowds.

this is the coziest vid ever, has made me so happy thank you :) made my heart so warm xxx

I’m from Aberdeen and this is amazing seeing you explore our beautiful city

This video came up randomly, probably because I had been watching various Great Briton videos looking for trip ideas. Loved your positivity and the sites you showed us, Thanks for sharing your trip!

Also, that face when u say you’re legit in the jungle 😂

What a cool trip!!! Thanks for taking us along!!!

I love your attitude of gratitude! It’s contagious. You make me want to stop and enjoy the daily magic! Love you, mark! ❤

ABSOLUTELY LOVE you so much mark! you were stressing me out doing that hike in your converse so yessss love you trusting your gut and turning around. xox loved this video so much.

I have driving anxiety too! You’re not alone! And absolutely loved this video and you as a person. Been watching you and Zoe since the beginning, and continue to rewatch the same vlogs bc you guys give me so much comfort❤

You are the kindest gentlest soul. Sometimes watching these makes me anxious thinking 😢 if someone hurts you while you’re alone. So much evil in the world.

Popped over here from watching you with Zoe. What a great vlog from sleeper train, food, hotels and stunning views beautiful music. Get the whole driving anxiety thing, you done so well. Totally zenned now will definitely becoming back. X

You are a beautiful person, I just feel like you have the kindest soul. You and your videos are like my comfort ❤

Train sounds are sooo comforting. The fact u can travel overnight to authentic sounds like that in the solo cabin. Dream!

I can't believe you were literally 20 mins from me!! I would have loved to have given you a tour of Scottish Highlands. If your ever back let me know! I know all the extra good spots! Next time you definitely need to visit Dunrobin Castle, it's something out of a fairytale!!

Mark, I think I fell in love with you on this vlog. I've seen you in so many Zoe and Alfie vlogs and have enjoyed the laughs, but your true spirit hit me in this one. Absolutely loved this. It's so special that you are comfortable taking solo trips. If you ever want a travel buddy, I'm here for ya anytime 😂. Stay sweet and keep spreading those positive vibes. Smiled so big at the "Narnia" and "I'm still Mark Ferris" comments. Hitting the like and subscribe buttons now.

Today is my birthday and can't think of a better way for it to end than sitting watching your vlog of Aberdeen with a cuppa before bed 😊

❤❤❤ oh Mark, you have a golden heart. you being emotional in the car made me emotional.

oh my goodness, I'm the same way, I get so emotional when I'm out in nature and I feel like I just get a chance to breathe and see the beauty in nature.

That video just made me so happy, you have no idea. Been struggling for the last few days, but you never fail to bring a smile to my face, so thank you. I hope one day I can meet you because you seem like one of the most down to earth, kindest, sweetest guy. Can’t wait for your next video!!!!

This video is an advert to romanticise every little thing in life! I didn’t think it was possible to romanticise Aberdeen/Shire - thank you ❤

HEYYYYY. Mark your vlogs have kept me going through a really rough period in my life. I stopped watching vlogs a while ago but recently re-subbed to you, Zoe and Alfie and I LOVE and missed you all. My mental health has been declining but you always put a smile on my face and genuinely never fail to make me laugh. LUV YA ❤️❤️❤️

Looks so exciting mark, you need to watch outlander so much Scotland history on the show

Mark, if ever you find yourself in Canada, for a solo, do Alberta, Banff in particular, you would need an entire box of tissues, it's so stunning, mountains, rivers, gondolas up the mountains.. just research online and prepare yourself to be gobsmacked, even if you can't go, it's worth the look. Love you!

I was literally watching you and feeling inspired to combat my driving anxiety before you started talking about it! It makes me feel less alone🥺 and to hear someone talk about it who’s going out and doing it is makes me feel like I can🫶🏻

i would just like to say im so thankful that you bring us along on your trips with you also love water falls to love the sounds

I have watched your videos for years and this is the first time I've commented but I just had to say this video warmed my heart and made me feel so grateful to watch! You are such a positive person and no matter how I'm feeling you always lift me up. Thank you. ❤

silent watcher here & i def feel you on the driving anxiety! i love these videos as they're so relaxing and bring me happiness. i would love to do what you do one day just travel and have sweet happy chill days

Hello Mark ! Thank you for this magic video ! I love it so so much ! The landscapes were just stunning! Scotland is so beautiful!

hi mark, i dont usually comment but would love to see you visit the harry potter filming locations in scotland!

I love sleeper trains and hope to do more in the future! (I’ve done them in China & Thailand)

31:00 on vlog Mark drinking out of the big jug killed me! you're hilarious 😍🤣 Love your travel vlogs and can't wait for the next one!

”I’m still a libra and I’m Mark Ferris”😂. 15 seconds later ”I think I’m lost”, I am dying😂😂😂😂😂. Love this boy ❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂

Omggggg I’m from Aberdeen!!!! I loved seeing you going round all my fave spots (and the pronunciations of some of the places 😂) this was a proper comfort vlog 🫶🏽

Weird to think i actually live in Aberdeen and you came to visit. Hope you had a great time!

Love your travel vlogs! Amtrak in the USA does include meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) when you purchase a sleeper ticket. Just F.Y.I. if you ever want to do a sleeper train vlog if you ever come back to the United States. 🙂

You travel with such wonder, I just love it so much ❤ hugs from Guam 🇬🇺

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit Aberdeen and the shire. This is my home and I am so honoured that you got to see the true beauty of Scotland. I have been feeling all your emotions going on this journey with you. I can't thank you enough and I am so proud you took the confidence to go on this trip. You have really done yourself proud so keep going, sending so much love and best wishes to you ❤

So agree mark .... its all about stopping and appreciating things around u. It's also about focusing on what u do have and not what u dont have ❤ being grateful for every moment of every day is the best advice ive been given ❤

You are literally the most genuine soul ever. You have the most pure and caring vibes and deserve sooo much happiness in your life ❤ Keep being you. Lovely video

The pronunciation of Spiderman had me howling! Love you xx

I just felt my happiest and most at peace while watching this whole video, I think this one is your most beautiful vlog yet 🥺 and I'm always so proud of you and thankful for your honesty 🤍

Basically your videos take me company ❤️ it’s like having a friend, all the love thanks Mark for that ✨✨✨

I’ve got my second trip on the sleeper from Aberdeen to london in April. I’m excited for it as my first time I was a toddler and sort of remember it but not fully.

You truly are a beautiful person and i'm so glad you had a lovely time in Scotland. Not only have you made me appreciate this country more but I am also in awe of how you celebrate time on your own. As a single person myself it's refreshing to see someone really express joy solo travelling and enjoying your own company and nature. 💖💖

You are just the loveliest person. Your vlogs give off such a peaceful and friendly vibe! Love ya, Mark!!
