I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
This is a result of doing all this myself I’m afraid. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday morning is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips!
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for RUclips Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

Sometimes it's hard to comprehend just how difficult it must be producing content constantly. You wouldn't think there's much inspiration in a simple journey of 3 flights and a short bus ride but you've grown into the job so much over the last couple of years that making twenty minutes of engaging content from it seems to come without any difficulty. Of course we don't see the amount of work behind the scenes with the editing, music selection etc, Good to see you made it home safely.
I genuinely appreciate this!!!
@@steve-marsh You have something very special & modest to boot.
I couldn't have said it any better. There can't be many who produce such engaging content!
And you're so likeable, Steve. I love your videos.
Agree with all of this. Great guy, great job!
I love your sense of humor even when you are exhausted I’m sure! The jaws theme was perfect! God bless and thank you!
Aww thanks :)
I not only laughed at the jaws portion, I had to replay it and laugh again! I am traveling right now as well, and this is me stopping for “a wee Steve Marsh break.”
That made me laugh too 😂
I really love how normal and relatable your content is. Connections, walking, bus stops in the dark, your DIY approach. This is how I like to do things. It’s so refreshing when every other thumbnail these days is 72 Hours in First Class XYZ.
There's something really cool about you using public transport on so many of these trips. Makes it seem so much more accessible. Thanks for proving it can be done ❤
The Swedes know how to do snow properly !
Only the northernmost bits of Sweden these days I'm afraid.
@@AuroraJadefyre what are you talking about? This winter it's been snowing everywhere except Skåne since November 😂
@@3amigos919 true but them lots can’t handle the snow. Complete chaos
Really 🤣🤣@@AuroraJadefyre
@@3amigos919It's lazy English on OPs part. 'Doing snow properly' could refer to the amount of snow Sweden gets, the quality of it or the public/state reaction to getting a large amount of it.
The 'Jaws' tail fin made us laugh out loud. So good. 😂
I love the hilarious Jaws music as we watch the fin of the plane taxi past. For a guy traveling all day Steve I love how you keep your sense of humor
Hi Steve. Just to say thank you so much for sharing this wonderful trip, we have so enjoyed your journey. Beautiful places and stunning scenery. Glad you got home safe eventually even if it was to more snow 😊. Looking forward to your next adventure xx
Oh Steve. What a journey. So enjoyable to watch from the comfort of my armchair in my warm home. Credit to the Swedes for how they cope with such icy conditions. Bet your heart sank at the task of “deicing” your snow laden car in Aberdeen. You must have been so cold! 🥶
I'm happy he decided to visit my part of the world. As for the icy conditions - it's not that bad.
It’s hard. To arcticulate how much I enjoyed this series. I just lapped it up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍 from 🇦🇺
Another excellent video, Steve - and as a former airline executive [Delta Air Lines], you were in excellent hands with SAS and KLM, two of the very best airlines in the industry... 👍
Steve “Spielberg” Marsh directs Jaws spoof 😂 good yin
Steve I don’t know how you do it - making an all day trek on buses, planes and a van all the way home, but after this one, I felt like I was the one who’d experienced the long journey home! Beautifully done sir!
Realy enjoyed this trip. I feel knackered just watching it! 😮💯❄️❄️
What a boxset of movies!! I liked the "Jaws" theme when the tailplane went past!! Very droll!! Many thanks Steve.
You earn your money Steve, I’m exhausted just watching you journey home, thanks for the video.
Loved your Jaws reference with tail of the KLM plane, very cute. Another great video.
What was interesting here was in Glasgow if there is a slight frost the plane is delayed whilst they defrost the wings. In tge Artic you could build a snowman on them and away they go.😊
Really nice to get an extra film from you.enjoyed the jaws and clock parts
Yet again, it is a very enjoyable film. Looking forward to your next adventure 😀
Never ceases to amaze me how Scandinavian airfields / airports remain open in the most unfriendly of weather and temperatures 🤷♂️
Brilliant sense of humor on a long and difficult journey home,
Hope you slept well and didn’t dream of Jaws tail planes or fin’s chasing you, let alone the shoe-less foot touching you 😂😂
Great video Steve
Keep em coming 💪
Thank you so much for this journey it was beautiful and a place I have always wanted to see. I really love the jaws theme as KLM was disappearing 😂. So happy you made it home safely 🤗❤️
The beautiful nature of flight sends one’s imagination wild with intrigue because one minute you’re here & the next you’re there in a different world 😮😊
How sad to leave Sweden behind. It looks majestic! You make the travel part look easy! Thanks for the Sweden Series - really great videos and interesting adventures!
Hi Steve - I used to know Stockholm's Arlanda airport very well as back in 1995 I was working over in Moscow & used to fly back & forth via Stockholm with SAS once a month. Indeed for about 12 months I was a gold card frequent flier. Happy days! 😎
Wow Steve. Brilliant presentation as always.thankyou..goodness knows how you manage to stay awake..hard going but we all appreciate your videos...beautiful footage..🤩🍔🍺
Fantastic video again Steve & your return home from Sweden. Even though it was mighty cold, the places you visited looked very interesting. Thanks for sharing with us.... and i loved the Jaws music - brilliant ! :)
Hi again Steve, I enjoyed it, your some guy, you take us all over the place.
I liked the K L M to the Jaws theme tune, wee laugh there. Thank you, from me in Irvine 😁
Steve, considering you had 3 flights, 2 buses and a long drive, remarkably it went all smoothly. Keep up the content, as always refreshing and relatable to us normal folks like yourself!
You are a lucky man to do all this traveling!
Hi Steve, I really enjoyed your travel to the Arctic. I admire your dedication to your thought processes and time taken to plan these journeys.
I really enjoyed your Arctic circle travels. It amazes me that despite the freezing cold and snow. These places just get on with life it is really impressive.
Thank you for sharing your journey home with us and I seriously can’t believe how much snow was on your car
What a lovely surprise - a video from my favourite youtuber ❤❤
It looked absolutely gorgeous but perishing at the same time. Glad you got home safely xxx
Really enjoyed watching this video and the views were spectacular! And you even managed to bring the arctic weather back home with you!
Great video yet again especially the filming of the take off .
you must love snow !
Thanks for the bonus video Steve. Always enjoy your videos and already looking forward to where you go next on your travels 👍🙂
Excellent. Loved the flight views. Always amazed at how quickly the plane is suddenly airborne . I have really enjoyed your Northern journeys.
Great video again Steve. Getting some lovely adventures under your belt 👍👍
Cheers Rob!
Great shot featuring ABBA ;-)
Steve ur my favorite travel channel, genuine person🎉😊
Hi Steve Paul from Kent again another fabulous loved the ABBA pictures on the wall at Stockholm airport my favourite pop group glad you enjoyed the experience looked wonderful take care Paul
Thanks for another great video Steve. I bet everywhere you travel has better roads and pavements than montrose, they're deadly!
I laughed more than I should have at the JAWS tail fin part lol. great video
Same! Quite frantically, my cat looked at me like 'What the f hooman, u ok?' 😂 Loved the video, always relaxing to watch. 😊
It was excellent!
Me too !!
Yh that was fab tickled me too
I think we all did :)
I felt your pain. That long journey all the way from Swedish Lapland only to find your car encased in snow and having to dig it out before the final leg of your journey. I bet you slept well that night! ☃🏁
Jaws Jaws Jaws loved that segment. - In winter always keep a big brush and an ice scraper in the car. Keep up your great videos - really like them.
What an exciting journey ,less stressful from here watching ,feeling with you the cold and the beauty,thank you!😊
What I really enjoy with your videos Steve is the naturalness, it is like actually going on a trip with you, nothing fancy just real life, just as it is, it makes me want to go where you have been. I have watched your videos for some time but I seldom comment on anything here on youtube. Yours though are outstanding in their plain presentation.
Stive love your channel your incredible and amazing buddy 😎you keep me happy thank you for being such a amazing person
I just love the weird and beautiful light from the sky at those high latitudes
Stunning scenery from your SAS window seat. Flight take-offs never bore me. Even though take-off engineering is standard science, it still feels (childishly) miraculous to me that something as heavy as a plane can fight gravity law successfully. Loved your trip to Kiruna.
I bet back in the glory days of small airlines with turboprop planes, a Fokker F-27 or Vickers Viscount would have taken you straight from Kiruna to Embra.
Thanks for sacrificing your arse for these insights! 🤗 There's no way it hasn't been frozen off on that rip! 🥴
Ok. You made me blow beer out my nose with the KLM Jaws routine! 🤣🤣
Thank you from someone who finds it hard to switch off
❤. These last two videos have made me fall in love with you.
Have been really enjoying these series of videos, so interesting & enjoyable so well done 👍👍👍
Great video Steve with views outside the SAS Plane, and your connections back to Aberdeen with KLM. You must of been knackered!!!!
Interesting that the Swedes celebrate Christmas even during January and you 'love it!'. Today I saw my first Christmas tree (and decorations) for sale - it's August 26th! I don't love it! But I did buy a Stollen this week! Great production as usual; thanks!
Laughed at the KLM “fin” accompanied by Jaws music 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Thanks for the mid week bonus Steve.You manage to make a return journey seem so interesting.ooh and we got a glimps of Jaws too!! Excellent as usual Steve .❤
Hello Steve mick from Hull another lovely episode hope you are well keep the episode coming and I will look forward to the next one 😊😊😊
Love your videos. Glad you got home safely. Look forward to your next adventure.
Another great video Steve!
Really appreciate these mid-week uploads and all your hard work for geeting it done.
Waiting for your first video in Portugal soon. 😅
Keep doing what you do and best of luck for the upcoming adventures.
😁 wonderful cold Sweden 👍. Like the video ! 😃👍
Wow, what an amazing adventure. Thanks for a brilliant video diary of your journey
I was in Kiruna 30 years ago. At that time with a charter airline called "Nordic East". Of course, that was long before You Tube existed. Nice to see the airport again - thanks!
Love it when I see your new videos pop up 👍👍👍
Thanks again, Steve. Loved it. 👍🙂
Glad you got home ok Steve. Another great video loved the KLM tail with the Jaws music and a video selfie with ABBA nice one. Hope you are both well
Another interesting and entertaining video. Glad you made it home safely.
that's true humour: spotting the "Jaws" moment and apologizing to your car after all this hassle. Reminds me of landing in Lappeenranta in a blizzard and driving one hour to Imatra through a simoom of dustlike snow (without luggage, which got stuck in Helsinki) - I would not have had any humour left.
The Kiruna airport cafe had the best selection of beers I've ever seen at an airport when I visited the Ice Hotel a few years ago
Love your videos Steve. Amazing content and always interesting.
What a journey back home! Particularly impressive were the aerial views coming into Stockholm. Glad you made it back home OK. Thanks for sharing this vlog, top notch as always! 😊 👍
Another winner. Loved it
Great video again Pat you are a inspiration. Making great memories and just going for it. Tiring work but well worth it. . Well done. Atb Johnny :)
glad to see you at home again. flying and waiting can be really tiring. Nice video, though full of snow.
when you’re exhausted your mind works in weird ways…that Jaws joke was hilarious 🤣
now enjoy your sleep and hopefully you get some good rest in the next adventures
What an experience wow truly unforgettable 😮
Enjoyed your video as usual, Steve, especially the selfie with ABBA at 13:23, even though you don't appear particularly excited about it. 👍🤣
I just got back from a trip to Norway, seeing Oslo and Bergen, taking the same train you did but stopping off to do the Flam railway and cruise. Although I didn't love either city, the cruise was more than worth the trip. Funnily enough, for most of the flight from London to Oslo the Pilots had the door to the flight deck open which I could see into from my seat for some great views.
That was a big day! Full marks for keeping the camera going the whole way!
Cheers mate! As you know by the end of a long day, that camera can feel very heavy!
That was an epic journey home Steve, and Scotland little deferent from Northern Sweden .
Hi Steve. Was that a living wall, you passed in the Airport? So much to see. How interesting ! Thank you for the video, as always...looking forward to the next one 🤩
Yet another wonderful video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now will you please go someplace warmer?. I’m freezing just watching all that snow. Glad you made it home safely. 🥰
17:07 😂 Another great journey. Thank you.
Safe journey back Steve
This trip sounded absolutely epic! ✈ Flying from the Arctic Circle all the way home is no joke. It's a shame about the flight delays and the smelly seatmate on the Amsterdam leg, but hey, at least you made it back safe! 😅 I bet that car ride home in the snow was the perfect way to end such a long journey. ❄
Another great presentation Steve.
I can see that you "really" enjoyed the complimentary breakfast on the sas plane! Mum...yummy!
Another gem Steve
Love the Jaws reference. Taking off/landing at Kiruna was interesting - the "breakfast" on board was a bit paltry. Been a very interesting and fun adventure in Sweden.
I truly enjoy your videos Steve, glad you got home safely albeit after midnight.
You've had a great adventure here, loved the snowy pics - where are you off to next?
Excellent as always Steve. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for yet again another fantastic journey
Good 'ol airbus engine's, gotta love it. Man, your car was totally covered in snow!
Another great watch. I enjoy seeing those small regional airports. It's interesting that there's enough demand for Kiruna flights that they send an A320 up there. When I flew to Tromsø with Widerøe, I was on an Embraer E190-E2 on the outbound flight and my favourite, the Dash-8 Q400 on the return. The boarding in Stockholm looked horrible as well but I guess that's because I'm used to boarding the aforementioned Dash-8s in Aberdeen and it literally only takes about 10 minutes. I remember the snow hitting the Aberdeenshire/Angus coast earlier in the year but it never made it down as far as Fife. It's weird just how localised weather can be sometimes.
Stunning view's from the plane window.i don't realy like flying but love looking at the land as we take off and land.i think my brain is playing tricks .at 5pm last night I was sitting looking for your vlog.thought perhaps you hadent posted it .but eh its just come up.senior moment.🥴
I really enjoyed your recent "snow-crunch" videos.
You can definitely get addicted to visiting the arctic circle. Check out northern Finland in the winter, around Lake Inari. Stunning place, genuinely lovely people
Looked forward to each episode and enjoyed every bit of your Arctic odyssey trip Steve. And we knew you'd make it home somehow, else you couldn't have been exploring those Shetland beaches a couple of weeks back ;-)
