    As a Welsh resident who lives a stones throw from Cardiff, it was so nice to experience Cardiff through a visitor’s eyes. Your excitement for every little thing was so heart warming. And I’m living for your pronunciation of all the Welsh words. Come back soon!! 🥰

      I’m the exact same literally living around the corner. You never see anyone really off RUclips visiting Wales or even someone close to home. What a delight watching him loving where we’re from!! 🥰

      Same here! From Barry (down the road) & moved to England a few years ago. Having being so homesick lately I can’t tell you how much this has warmed my heart! Booked a ticket back for this weekend to see the fam thanks to Mark.
      Also can’t believe I’ve never done Cardiff Castle!

It’s such an important thing to remember. You can have such meaningful experiences that way .Cardiff castle looks so cool. It would be a great place to visit. V game of thronsey! I’d that’s even a word . Lol ❤🎉❤

    Aw I loved this Mark, I went to Cardiff Uni 2007 - 2010 and it was so lovely to see some of my old haunts - I think the name of the vintage shop had changed in the arcade but it was a vintage shop when I was there too and I loved getting my going out dresses in there before heading to The Welsh Club :) Thank you for sharing your adventures with us - you're brilliant and I love what you said about confidence and solo travelling - don't wait x

    My heart is aching, I lived in Cardiff up until last month and its where I truly fell in love with your videos. I literally watched a ton of your vlogs during my most anxious times on the very spots you walked on (near the ivy etc). I was going to come down that week to meet my boyfriend but we had a fight lol so I had to postpone it and then I saw your IG post. Seeing you would have been an absolute dream 😭. So so happy you got to see the best city in Britain tho ❤️❤️. Come North Wales/Cheshire next!!!!

    I've just been to Cardiff for the first time. Went to the castle and the same market as you. I stayed in a hotel right by the castle. It was the most scary experience for me travel. But it was amazing there. Every one was so kind. Best place to go alone. Crazy to see you in the same place I was in last week. Thank you for these alone travel diarys. Gave me the confidence to do it. A few weeks before was the first time I've ever got on a underground in London and train alone. At 28 you have taught me it's ok to go out alone. Thank you xx

    Mark! You should come up to Chester some time (only 2 hour journey from Euston). I haven't been in the city centre for a while because of agoraphobia but it's a lovely little city! Really leans in to its Roman heritage! They have little Roman tours (which they also do for school kids and dress them up in little foam armour it's so CUTE), an amphitheatre (well half of one), gorgeous cathedral, lovely river! Think I've even see the odd ghost tour about from time to time. Lovely buildings, a market. Worth a google! (Plus the Zoo isn't too far away oooo)

    I did my first solo trip a few years ago and it was the best thing ever. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do it again, and especially these past couple of years, so it is so so nice and welcomed and appreciated to get to travel around Britain with you. I miss traveling so much, but my heart feels a bit better seeing your videos. Thank you.
