As an oldie from the U.S., I took a trip to London on my own. I turned 40 there, and had a piece of birthday cake in the Buckingham Palace garden after the tour. I was in London for about 7 days, then made the train journey to Edinburgh for a week of Fringe Festival. It was one of the best times of my life. I have friends and family that I could have celebrated with on my 40th, but I had a gathering before I went on my trip. Sometimes, it just feels good to do what you want in life. I don't have a ton of money, but I save up to travel when I can, and when others can't go along, it's just not an option for me to stay at home for fear of seeming a loner, or whatever. Life is too damn short to worry about shit like that! I loved this video so much. 💜💜
Mark your the most inspirational person!! As a single woman I would always love to do these sort of things but always like but I have no one to go with! Im going to book a get away, Thankyou xxxx
Do it Claire, I was like you but I went away in 2019 for a few days and it was the best thing I could have done because like Mark said "it is just me".
I'm from the US and Whitby and York are my two favorite places to visit!!! Thanks for taking me along on your trip!!! I'm 60+ and happy to be a single person! Never worried about not having a someone in my life. I am me!! Know who are, be true to you. Live your life for YOU!!!!
Mark, thank you! I am in my 30s, single and living alone. It’s hard to be solo all the time, especially when friends and family are at such different stages of their lives. I need to be more like you, more open and more accepting of where I am at in my journey. Thank you!
"diagon alley! knockturn alley more like" "they're like, 'are you alright?' and I'm like, 'don't think so'" "God, tastes like regrets" "9:00 a.m. bells are charming...churming...chirping" "they have bumbum cream, for the bum" lol I love you Mark 😂
@@susanyork5089 I think Claire was referring to other youtubers who book a trip away and its to Barcelona or ibiza etc. That’s how I read it anyway, I don’t think she actually meant that Yorkshire wasn’t well known x
Thank you for taking me back to York. I took my adult kids on a trip to the UK and Ireland in 2009. Our favorite place was London and York. We walked the wall. SO cool seeing the history. i LOVE it. I loved how the accents changed the further north we went. We took the train to York. The country side was so beautiful. We went to Edinburgh....the accents! Loved all of it. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to go back. I felt homesick for England when we flew back to California. Traveling alone is life changing. I've traveled all around California alone. It's freeing. Can't wait to see more. Big hugs and stay safe,
This video really resonated with me. I'm 28 and have been single for just over a year now, which is honestly the longest time I have been single in my adult life. I moved out into my own place and have been living by myself for almost a year. I took two solo trips in 2021 and have really been learning to enjoy having my own space and my own company. I love that you are empowering people to do the same. Happy 2022 to you and here's to more solo travels in the future!
Omg just what I needed after a long day at work not feeling great, a 43 minute video from you Mark! Love that you did this alone, can’t wait to watch 💗✨
Yaasss Mark 🙌. Let's normalise doing things on our own!! Being able to be independent, going away on your own, out for dinner on your own, cinema etc. It's so important 🙌🙌💪
I’m honestly so in awe that you did this on your own and good for you! I wish I had the self-confidence to do something like this, so thank you for letting me live it through you! 🥰
Donny lass here ✊✊ it's so weird to see someone I've watched for so long come to Yorkshire, I love york and whitby and visit them so often! No one ever comes up here! 😂
so proud of you mark, you’re so inspiring and if you ever feel alone, just know you have thousands of people here rooting for you everyday. we love you!!!!!
I loved this video so much! I remember my first solo trip (a week in Sweden and Norway) and going through the same emotions -- waking up on day 1 thinking 'what the hell am I doing?!' and then absolutely revelling in the freedom and joy of it. It's so liberating and empowering. Those quiet moments watching a sunset on your own with nowhere else to be are the best. Love it Mark!
I totally feel the emotions of happiness when solo traveling. This past week i got on my first plane alone and flew 5 hours across the country. I was going to visit a friend, but for me, knowing i booked the flight alone, with my own money and took a flight completely by myself, made me cry. I have always been a person who wants to do so much, and has no one to do it with. So for me, the moment I was on the plane and looking out the window at the mountains, i couldnt help but cry with happiness and I am still so proud of myself
This vlog felt like a hug 🥺 Thank you Mark for encouraging that being alone doesn’t have to be lonely & how important it is to value your own company ❤️
The amount Mark got emotional in this video just made me realise how far he’s really come with loving himself and just doing more stuff in his own company. You’re doing great :’) thank you for sharing this, you’ve actually inspired me to book two solo trips 💛
This is just the vlog I needed to see this morning, I'm sat alone waiting for my therapy session to start, getting myself so anxious and listening to you telling everyone to enjoy your own company and to be strong is honestly what hits my heart this morning. Thank you for always saying what people need to hear, right when they need to hear it, bless your heart xx
Well said Mark good on you for saying it's ok to like your own company life is too short. Health is your wealth and people don't realise that and if you have that go out there enjoy your freaking life you never know what's round the corner. Thanks Mark appreciate your honesty.
Thank you for this beautiful, inspiring, calm, exciting, gorgeous video! 🥰🥰🥰 I have traveled alone, and it is a full spectrum of emotions. I usually go to places for the first time and it amazes me how many people I meet and chat with, it is so liberating. Thank you for sharing this!! 😊
Dear Mark, I do hope you see this, you have the kindest heart and just watching you enjoy a solo holiday makes me so happy. I am so proud of you and how you keep growing, I have been watching you for a while and each video makes my heart feel more love. Keep being you and enjoy life each day like you do. As you said to embrace being on your own and enjoying your own company. Recently for myself I can enjoy my own company without crying because I feel alone and it feels amazing as I have been surrounding myself around more people who believe in me and saying bye to those who do not bring the best out of me, It's a great feeling. I also wanted to say thank you for always bringing a smile to my face, you deserve the best. I am from Australia and do hope that one day I will see you in person but for now I will feel the connection online, always supporting you. xx
this made me so emotional. knowing how big a thing it was for you and seeing you have such an amazing time.. that sunset ending with you sat with tears in your eyes really was perfect🥺 can’t wait for the next destination 💛
Thanks Mark for sharing your beautiful cheeky little trip with us. You have really grown over the past 5 years and love all your content that you have been sharing of late. Come to Canada 🇨🇦 once the pandemic is over. You would love it here!
I don't usually comment but I'm watching this again two years later on my first solo trip to Edinburgh! Feeling a little anxious as its my first night and you're my comfort thing, so thank you
The messages you're giving are hugely motivating and inspirational Mark! I think they're helpful for people who are in a relationship but struggling or co-dependent which is hard too. Thank you!
One of the nicest things you can do for yourself, I think, is to take yourself out places solo. Being in your own company helps your confidence soo much. I went through a stage where I did this a lot, and I’m so glad I did. You find that you can love your own company and learn to rely on yourself. Good on you Mark 👍💕 thanks for sharing!!
I am not going to lie, I did not want this video to end. I was struggling to keep calm before bed because I have a uni final tomorrow morning and I knew watching this video would help because they always do. So thank you so much for doing what you do and being such an inspirational, genuine and amazing human being. Love you so much Mark
I have been thinking about solo travelling for ages! As soon as the borders open for travel I want to go international! This vlog has given me all the inspiration and everything you mention is so true! I am scared thinking about it and I know I will be leading up to it but I just need to do it and I know it will be so liberating and the best thing I ever decided to do. Love you Mark, thank you for giving me that extra push into believing I can do this! Looking forward to seeing your next solo adventures! 🥰🌏✈️🌞🌻
Harrogate is beautiful I’m from Dublin but I lived there for a year and it will always have my heart! I feel like mark would LOVE it and fall in love with the history like I did 🥰🥰
Mark I absolutely adore you and everything you stand for and are encouraging people to do and feel in this video. I'm 33, so I relate to the pre-social media era and also wanting to see younger people today experience life without it, and know that they can be happy. It's so important to feel empowered to be on your own and love the time you spend with yourself. Okay one quick question though - what is the comfort thing you're listening to when you're driving at about 8 minutes in? Lots of love from Canada xo
Absolutely LOVED this video. Me and my hubby enjoyed watching it so much 😊 was so nice to see you in our neck of the woods too 🙌❤ I'm sure a lot of people will relate to this video too x
genuinely my favourite person 🤍 i’ve been feeling very anxious & sad today but you just make me feel so much better mark. i am so proud of you & i love you. thank you for inspiring me and this has inspired me to go out by myself. so thank you, i love you xx 💕
I cried at several points watching this video. Your message hit home and really inspired me, a very lonely person. And seeing you visit beautiful York; a place I hold dear to my heart, and Whitby which I've also visited a few times. It brought back a lot of memories. Thank you Mark, I loved this video x
I have seen so many people that have said, but oh my goodness, I love Mark Ferris. Even though I don’t know him personally (like in person), RUclips has made him my closest friend. I love it. Mark, you are amazing! 💗
You are such an amazing inspiration to all of your viewers. You show people that it is ok to be your true authentic self, to do things by themselves. You are such an amazing, caring, kind and loving human being. There are too many words to describe you and if I list them all I’ll run out of room. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Also you could maybe go to Cornwall next because I think that you’d love it down there.
Awww Mark I love this. It's inspiring for me how much joy you take out of every moment and the the simplest things in life, not taking anything for granted and appreciating everything. I loved watching this and seeing what a great experience it was for you. I've done some city breaks alone and enjoy them but not been to the seaside alone, so may try that next! If i waited to find friends or family to do everything I wanted to with or places to go with them too, I'd hardly do anything! Sometimes you have to just live for you.
Mark, I think this has been your best video yet. Loved you and the sights. Really loved how normal and down to earth you are and your hotel choices were.💗💗💗
I'm late to the part y but this is by far my favourite thing you have ever done! Please, please do many more trips. Not only do I love to watch this kind of thing but the message you are sending to people who sit home alone instead of going on solo adventures is a wonderful one. xx
Mark, I loved this video SO MUCH. I love how real and honest you are. You are a ray of sunshine and I wish you knew how happy your videos make me! Thank you. Take care my love. X
I absolutely love that you did a solo trip like this! Travelling solo is one of the most liberating, fun things ever and I am so thankful and grateful when I look back on my solo trips in the past, they definitely taught me a lot and shaped me as a person (without sounding too deep). York is wonderful, I did that ghost walk when I went a few years ago too!
This was just so good to watch...I was teary with joy for you and giggled at pigeons constantly being in your way. I I sooo hoped the hot guy that served you rum got your number. You are such a gorgeous soul. Xxxx
Your intro is so jolting!!! Omg. Heart attacks! But you’re doing this for you love!!! You need a vacay! You’re beautiful and lively and lovely! Love love love! Be you!
I’m 39 now with a kid and a partner… But my God I wish I had your videos to watch when I was a teenager xxx I love what this trip stands for Mark… You da best! Xx
Mark, I love this series so much. Living in Sydney and currently in lockdown - I miss England so much and I get to see it through your travels so thank you! :-) Please visit Bath or the Cotswolds next - that'll be so fun! Going away on your own is one of the best things you could do for yourself - it's so rewarding and empowering! You also meet the most wonderful people - I find people will come up and chat away when you're a solo traveller vs being with someone or in a group. Glad you're doing this for yourself xx
What a beautiful little trip! Whitby, and York look delightful places to visit. I’m so happy for you . Your v brave and have put this plan into action . You looked so happy and at peace . V inspiring . Binge watching your solo trio videos . Xx
this was genuinely my favorite video of yours, ever!! if appreciating life & the world around you was put into a video, this would be it. you’re truly the best, mark!! 🤍
Haha omg, the bit about falling down the stairs! I used to live in York, many years ago, and had to do some work on the city walls. I'm the clumsiest person in the world, and I cannot tell you how many times I fell down the stairs, across the path, slipped off... At some point I just accepted that in York we fall down and that's my life.
Hi Mark, I live near York and I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit, you should be proud of yourself for doing something out of your comfort zone and exploring somewhere new! nearly made me tear up:)
This looks so beautiful Mark! I visited Salem by myself in 2019 and it was so lovely. I encourage everyone to travel by themselves at least once! Having to make all the decisions around a trip really helped me get further in tune with myself.
ADORED this. as someone with travel anxiety, this was SO refreshing to watch! please explore more places if you feel up to it and take us along with you; this was such a feel good vlog. thank you for doing this for us as well as yourself💛
This was so encouraging! Feeling lonely myself recently with seeing everyone back doing normal things. Defo fancy booking my own little holiday alone now! x

Watching this as I crochet to try and calm down from stress. I wish mark knew how much he's helped me cope with anxiety and mental health
It really is calming watching him ❤
@@noddybrown6281 why are you even on this video then that seems more stranger than someone expressing how someone has helped them
Pity he won’t have the decency to reply to that..
Ya tis one is nice also a new channel I watched docsplorer randomly caught it tat too is nice
Patiently waiting to see if Mark brings back a Yorkshire lad 👀💜
Hahaha me too 😊
I think this was more about him finding himself and enjoying his own company x
@@karlie7731 I know! Mark said on his ig that he was looking for a Yorkshire lad to bring home as a joke :)

CORRECT!! Glad you enjoyed your trip, it sounds lovely
Mark your the most inspirational person!! As a single woman I would always love to do these sort of things but always like but I have no one to go with! Im going to book a get away, Thankyou xxxx
Do it Claire, I was like you but I went away in 2019 for a few days and it was the best thing I could have done because like Mark said "it is just me".
100% sounds like me! Xx
Do it! I did in 2019 before lockdown and i'm definitely going to go again once the world opens up😍
As a single woman myself I was anxious of going away by myself but the first time I did I loved it. You should try it.
Ahhhh Thankyou for all your replies! I’m booking somewhere, anywhere tonight!!! Xx
A big advocate of traveling and exploring alone! You should definitely make this a thing! ❤️
Mark Ferris traveling the UK!! I will be here for it!!!
I'm from the US and Whitby and York are my two favorite places to visit!!! Thanks for taking me along on your trip!!! I'm 60+ and happy to be a single person! Never worried about not having a someone in my life. I am me!! Know who are, be true to you. Live your life for YOU!!!!

I'm 40 and going through the same. I booked to go to york in 2 weeks and it's my first solo trip. So excited though. Sending you 💕

"they have bumbum cream, for the bum"
lol I love you Mark 😂
Love that you chose to go somewhere that is less well known and less visited! Yorkshire is an amazing place!❤️
Less well known you are kidding ! Yorkshire is Gods Own County we get 4 million visitors a year in York
@@susanyork5089 I think Claire was referring to other youtubers who book a trip away and its to Barcelona or ibiza etc. That’s how I read it anyway, I don’t think she actually meant that Yorkshire wasn’t well known x
This was just so therapeutic to watch Mark. You’re such a positive soul and being us all so much joy. 👏🏼
Thank you for taking me back to York. I took my adult kids on a trip to the UK and Ireland in 2009. Our favorite place was London and York. We walked the wall. SO cool seeing the history. i LOVE it. I loved how the accents changed the further north we went. We took the train to York. The country side was so beautiful. We went to Edinburgh....the accents! Loved all of it. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to go back. I felt homesick for England when we flew back to California. Traveling alone is life changing. I've traveled all around California alone. It's freeing. Can't wait to see more. Big hugs and stay safe,

This was EPIC Mark, we appreciate you being so inspirational, especially in my neck of the woods, such a brilliant vlog, have a great week 🥰🧡😘

Omg saaame, when he said Doncaster at the start I was like woahhh xx
Me too! I rewound to make sure I heard him right 😂

This was so lovely and felt very healing. Can't wait to see where you go next!
Think this may be my fave video of yours, Mark. Ultimate chill out and inspiring me to do more on my own ❤

Mark, you’re a beautiful human. Please don’t ever change ☀️ Lots of love from Canada (Emigrated from the UK - West Midlands in 2003).
Flipping love this video. I LOVE York so pleased you had the best little time.
Amazingly inspirational Mark!! Thank you for sharing x
You are such an amazing inspiration to all of your viewers. You show people that it is ok to be your true authentic self, to do things by themselves.

Mark, I think this has been your best video yet. Loved you and the sights. Really loved how normal and down to earth you are and your hotel choices were.💗💗💗
Thank you for this video and thank you for being you ❤️ I struggle with being independent but seeing you thriving all by yourself is inspiring.
I'm late to the part y but this is by far my favourite thing you have ever done! Please, please do many more trips. Not only do I love to watch this kind of thing but the message you are sending to people who sit home alone instead of going on solo adventures is a wonderful one. xx
Absolutely love this Mark. You are going to inspire so many people to just start thinking about them and put themselves first❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mark, I loved this video SO MUCH. I love how real and honest you are. You are a ray of sunshine and I wish you knew how happy your videos make me! Thank you. Take care my love. X
I absolutely love that you did a solo trip like this! Travelling solo is one of the most liberating, fun things ever and I am so thankful and grateful when I look back on my solo trips in the past, they definitely taught me a lot and shaped me as a person (without sounding too deep). York is wonderful, I did that ghost walk when I went a few years ago too!
Really enjoyed this and I know I would have felt emotional if I was there too! Would love to see more vlogs like this.
Mark, this whole video idea is so lovely! Such an important, empowering message, and such a perfect way of getting it across.
This was just so good to watch...I was teary with joy for you and giggled at pigeons constantly being in your way. I I sooo hoped the hot guy that served you rum got your number. You are such a gorgeous soul. Xxxx
Oh mark! You’re visiting two of my favourite places of ALL time! York & Whitby😍😍😍. Literally the best! Hope you had a great time xx
Your intro is so jolting!!! Omg. Heart attacks! But you’re doing this for you love!!! You need a vacay! You’re beautiful and lively and lovely! Love love love! Be you!
I’m 39 now with a kid and a partner… But my God I wish I had your videos to watch when I was a teenager xxx I love what this trip stands for Mark… You da best! Xx
Mark, I love this series so much. Living in Sydney and currently in lockdown - I miss England so much and I get to see it through your travels so thank you! :-) Please visit Bath or the Cotswolds next - that'll be so fun!
Going away on your own is one of the best things you could do for yourself - it's so rewarding and empowering! You also meet the most wonderful people - I find people will come up and chat away when you're a solo traveller vs being with someone or in a group. Glad you're doing this for yourself xx
What a beautiful little trip! Whitby, and York look delightful places to visit. I’m so happy for you . Your v brave and have put this plan into action . You looked so happy and at peace . V inspiring . Binge watching your solo trio videos . Xx
So proud of you Mark! Love all the comfort your videos bring ❤
I swear I could just listen to you talk for hours. You’re so relatable 💜❤️
So glad you had a lovely time here in York! Watching this made me feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful city. Hoping you come again soon! ❤️❤️❤️
Fab video mark, I chuckled all the way through (especially the pigeons). So glad you concurred you fears and went on this discovery 💋
Mark seriously such a great video. Thank you for this. Solo travel is my favourite thing can't wait to see where you go!!
Thank you for sharing your trip,loved every minute of it especially the beautiful sunset x
Mark this is the most heartwarming and inspiring video ever!! I can’t wait to see where you go to next 😊x
I love everything about this video! I could see this being a series on your channel!😊💗💜
this was genuinely my favorite video of yours, ever!! if appreciating life & the world around you was put into a video, this would be it. you’re truly the best, mark!! 🤍
Omg yes! I loved this video!!! Such a brilliant idea and thoroughly enjoyable to watch! Thank you
Haha omg, the bit about falling down the stairs! I used to live in York, many years ago, and had to do some work on the city walls. I'm the clumsiest person in the world, and I cannot tell you how many times I fell down the stairs, across the path, slipped off... At some point I just accepted that in York we fall down and that's my life.
Mark I swear I love you, you're too funny! The way you make me happy and put me in a good mood!
Hi Mark, I live near York and I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit, you should be proud of yourself for doing something out of your comfort zone and exploring somewhere new! nearly made me tear up:)
This looks so beautiful Mark! I visited Salem by myself in 2019 and it was so lovely. I encourage everyone to travel by themselves at least once! Having to make all the decisions around a trip really helped me get further in tune with myself.
ADORED this. as someone with travel anxiety, this was SO refreshing to watch! please explore more places if you feel up to it and take us along with you; this was such a feel good vlog. thank you for doing this for us as well as yourself💛
What a nice little getaway. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for taking us along. Love you ❤️
Oh Mark I just love you, you’re so pure!🥺💕 thank you for all of the videos.
You're such an inspiration, Mark! ❤️ Have a lovely trip!! ❤️
This was so encouraging! Feeling lonely myself recently with seeing everyone back doing normal things. Defo fancy booking my own little holiday alone now! x
Thank you for sharing your amazing trip with us all Mark. Seriously all so lovely.
This was my favourite video. You are so inspiring and such a genuine person with a beautiful heart.
