Ive always been a silent watcher. Never commenting, never liking, never interacting in any way. I guess i just like to peacefully watch your videos. But your craftsman ship is exquisite. Every video you post, i see beauty in every frame. The way you capture hannah, raw, the bare bones, takes my breath away. You see what everyone else fails to see and are able to capture it an a way that not many film makers can do. You show the soul and the essence of your subjects and this video was no exception. Never do i watch videos on youtube and marvel at their beauty but with yours, i sit and i stop and get caught up in your moments that you present to us to so brilliantly. Never stop filming. Never stop creating. Never stop doing what you love for if you do this space would lose a burning torch of hope. Your videos are a true work of art and i will watch and love until the very end.
Rachel Vaughan couldn't of said it better if I tried! I have never commented but felt compelled too today but you captured eveything I would of said! great stuff!!!
Rachel Vaughan -not sure if it's just me, but your comment stops abruptly mid-sentence with the words "fails to see and are". There's no clickable "read more". I notice this occasionally with some comments. Anyone else?
30 minutes of beauty and pure craftsmanship. I look down my recommended and think "why isn't everybody making 'content' like this?" - that's because they can't. Every single shot is so thoughtful and sometimes I literally don't know how you've filmed it. The hours you must of spent is obvious. Every week I know you are going to create something magical but this was off the charts. xxx
A stunning 30 mins of peace, beauty and serenity to start my Sunday morning- before I return to the madness of teaching tomorrow. You never fail to inspire me each week to get outside and appreciate the little moments x
In the 6 years that I have been an avid watcher of RUclips, I have never ever commented on a video. After watching this video today, how could I possibly not? I have been watching you guys since the very beginning, way before the video diaries started and Hannah was making make-up videos on this channel. I think I actually started watching from the 3rd video ever posted. Your creativity is incredible and the time and energy you put in to your videos is a sheer delight to watch. For half an hour every week you take all your viewers away to another place, and I can only thank you for finding the beauty in every day life. xx
There are no words. I am from the West Coast so I know it's beautiful but I think you did us Scots proud! I only hope to film something so beautiful one day!
The shot with Hannah and Grayson kissing, one of the most beautiful things you have ever shot. The music, the atmosphere everything about it. Made me so emotional. Amazing video, one of your best yet. Xx
Stumbling across Hannah's makeup videos 4 years ago was one of the best things i ever found. Seeing Gracie grow up as you capture all these beautiful moments and adventures is just so precious. Another incredible vlog, perfect balance of silky, funny and thoughtfulness. Also, my dad sat and watched this one on the tv with me, I think he's a fan now too. Lots of Love x
I don't know where to begin. The scenery, the editing, the music, the images and message. You blew my mind again! Thank you for this peace of art, like you said, a painting of how you see the world. It's a beautiful way to see it. Keep doing what you do, it makes people happy. :)
I'm not a very articulate person, there's so much I want to say but just don't know how to put into words just how much these short films really have an impact on me, particularly my mental health which of late has been particularly challenging. For many years I've been desperately looking for ways to cope with it, to no avail.. until now. Stef and Hannah, I want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for being my escape, for allowing me to no longer have to shove pills down my throat in order to feel semi 'normal', your hard work and dedication to this channel doesn't go unnoticed. All this work and input by two single people with the footage you guys come up with each week is just absolutely magical.. truly breathtaking beyond words. I hope you enjoyed visiting my stomping ground, isn't it beautiful? x
WHERE IS THE LOVE BUTTON???? I adore you guys. Thank you for pouring your time, money, and energy into these videos so that we can all experience the world through your eyes. You so perfectly encompass the beauty of life in each video, and none more than this one. I was brought to tears by both the scenery and simply the passion you possess for life and all of its goodness. Thank you so much Michalaks.
Just wanted to say... im going through such a hard time at the moment with health issues. Have for a while but now I'm losing interest in everything as well but I still find myself watching your vlogs every Sunday and for that half an hour I spend watching your vlogs I forget everything else and just enjoy watching what you guys get up to. Been following you for about 2 years now and I'm sure I speak for many others when I say thank you for making these videos. You have no idea just how many people you could be helping. ❤️
Becky Short I'm sorry you're going through a hard time. Hearing you say you're losing interest in everything hits home for me. I do hope this will turn around for you and things will improve and that you will be ok. Wishing you so much comfort and peace! xx
I don't even know where to start with this video!! Just absolutely incredible! I'm Scottish and I feel embarrassed that I've never truly appreciated how beautiful this little country is until I watched this video. You have genuinely brought me to tears and I've been that inspired that I've started making a road trip plan for this summer to visit more places in Scotland. Best video yet by far!
Absolutely insane. I'm studying in New Zealand for 4 months at the moment and missing home in Inverness but seeing this has given a wee boost. You literally couldn't have captured home in more of a magnificent way, especially with the typical Scottish rain. I think VisitScotland should be giving you a call! Incredible.
Monika Bachvarova TOTALLY agree!! I don't even bother listening to news & should I hear an ounce on the radio- only way I would as I don't watch mainstream TV anymore/read the news, I immediately turn it to a different channel or off- radio channels seem to like doing their news bulletins all at the same time!
Mamma e Bella lm the same I've stopped watching read the news l know we should know what going on but really l can't anymore it's too much it's was draining me and l,was always in a bad mood and drained defo there so much evil and darkness in the world where we really need more love and light and these videos are a little bit of ray of sunshine in a gray world xxx
I also barely watch any TV, especially news. But my job requires me to be up to date with pretty much anything that is happening around the world in almost all areas and every day I get more and more disgusted with what people are doing to each other and to the world. :( And the idea of moving to an unpopulated island seems more and more appealing to me.
Monika Bachvarova YES! With you there on wanting to move to a remote island... Somewhere in Thailand or Hawaii sounds most appealing at the moment or maybe Oz/NZ! What do you do to make you have to suffer watching the disgusting nastiness of the world!? Sounds like you need a better job :-/ x
Yes, I've been thinking about Thailand recently because I have a lot of friends who have been there on vacation and they said it was really beautiful! As for the job, it's not that bad in general as we write analyses for companies such as Tesla and I learn so much cool and innovative information. But we also used to work with some missile manufacturers, for example, which was a nightmare! I don't care about weapons production and sale at all!
Land Rover should be well pleased with this - I'm totally ready to hand over the credit card so I can feel warm and cosy as I drive through the Scottish Highlands
THIS is how you do a sponsored video. Holy cow, this was breathtaking. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside thinking about your family watching these beautiful videos back in years to come.
It's honestly so cool seeing someone you love on youtube visit and genuinely appreciate the country you live in, even if it's only next door to theirs! Thank you for shining Scotland under such a beautifully creative light.
This planet needs more families like you. I think on RUclips so many people watch and think "I wish I could own that bag" or "I wish I could go on that holiday." You three inspire people to really look at the amazing world around us and who we are in it. Thank you x
better than any television advert the way you capture every detail of life .the companies u work with are the lucky ones the way u showcase their product is priceless subday mirning my fav time x
Would pay a large amount of money to see this in a cinema, without a doubt Stef just gets better and better, honestly can't give you enough praise for this masterpiece
Scotland is my home. I am so protective of its beauty. I truly believe it's good for your soul to experience Scotland's beauty. I hope you enjoyed your trip
Amanda Campolin you should come one day! May or September are best times for weather. your totally right, 10/10 for the video quailty but still, seeing it with your own eyes is another level!
I hope I get the chance to go some day. I live in Brazil, so it's kind of a complicated process, but Im hoping I get to go to the UK this september to improve my english before starting college next year. Thank you so much for your advice.
I never thought anything could beat the Iceland vlog but oh my god you have outdone yourselves, this was so beautiful and the perfect way to start my sunday morning so thank you
I'm usually a silent watcher, never liking, never commenting, but it's videos like this that really make you stop and appreciate the incredible talent that you have - the way you capture all manner of occasions, the small moments and the big moments. Truly, truly beautiful. Keep doing what you're doing guys!
Wow, just wow!!! I feel like this could've been an award winning short film at Cannes. I know you plan on making a film at some point, but, right here, you just did. An absolute masterpiece. I know you never seek to inflate your ego, but, the reality is, you were born for this, you were created to bring beauty into this world. Thank you for the years you spent toiling and I'm so glad it's now a living for you too. I can't wait until Wantfeed goes through the roof and you can just have complete financial freedom. You deserve every accolade and I feel the best is still to come. X
There is nothing better than a sunday morning breakfast in bed with a Michalaks vlog! Thank you for this amazing piece of art. I wish your family all the best x
Stef, thank you. This video moved me to tears. You captured my home country, that I love dearly in such a beautiful way. This brought back such lovely memories for me of being in the car with my parents and siblings driving through the highlands and feeling so safe and carefree. You deserve such recognition as a family, you are a wonderful role models and with everything happening in the world today your videos give hope and show the important things in life. Thank you and lots of love from Glasgow ❤️
The camera only cements the work, the art that the Michalak's portray! There were moments in this video where I actually cried because it was so beautifully illustrated. I do hope you do not feel the need to constantly perform to such a level where it works you too hard, even a short video will suffice! Keep up the stunning work!! Really well done!
I feel almost hesitant to add to the plethora of enthralled feedback about this film, guys. Stef, I don't want to add to the stress and pressure you already feel in putting this sort of content together. But it has to be said - there aren't powerful enough adjectives to describe how beautiful and moving and inspiring this film is. Thank you, from the deepest parts of my soul. - Chrissy (Brisbane, Australia)
I've been a silent watcher for two years and honestly I cried when you managed to show my home in all its glory, thank you so much guys. It helps articulate to others how beautiful Scotland is. Hope you have a great trip xxxx
Stef and Hannah, I know you prefer criticism so you can improve but this was honestly so beautiful... not even the whole way through and I had to tell you that. Here's the criticism- you're bad at creating poor content... And also, thanks so much for the beginning. I'm so chuffed!
Bethany Courtney WE ALL NEED TO SHARE ON AL MEDIA OUTLETS, it only takes a second to tweet or post to Facebook to show the incredible videos we have all come to love so much ❤️ @TheMichalaks don't get the full recognition they deserve, Steph's work could be so much more rewarding for us and him. By sharing we give to ourself and back to Staph for the unbelievable beauty we see through his eyes, where he goes we follow and experience what it feels like to be their. This was a great journey he took us on, I will tweet this video right now, will you too?
@TheMichalaks Scotland should be so happy you represented their country in this video, in my opinion it's more a documentary, the essence of Scotlands beauty unfold through your eyes Steph, I can indeed say, The Pips The Pips Are Calling. You are indeed a story teller, I could watch and listen to you for hours on end, I could almost smell the air and the sites and sounds you capture are those move directors strives for to pull us in, you make us feel like we are right beside you ever step of the way, you just get better with everything you share, your passion for photography and filming is our blessing, it truly is a pleasure to watch your videos from start to finish, I appreciate your hard work much more than I can express Steph, thank you so much for being our eyes in places we may never get to go but feel we are their anyway. I Love your work much love to you and your beautiful family xxxxx Margaret
You little hipster twats! Had me crying three minutes into the film! What a wonderful world we live in with people and families like you! As for right now I am a sobbing disaster that has a smile on her face. This is beyond. This is the kind of art that just touches your heart! Would love to see a film of yours in the cinema! Like a social movie night, where you guys and your viewers meet to enjoy this stunning piece of art! Love, Love, love
Hah. Was worried about this being an infomercial but it turned out lovely. Should have known. I look forward to these every week.We've spent the last 6 weeks in Scotland (mostly Callander but got to Inverness for a birthday weekend) and LOVED it. So wonderful. Also very true about the dress code. We're from Montana and everyone seemed pretty done up for a hike in the woods through some hills. If you are really getting back in there, it would probably be wise though. Loved the bleakness of the highlands. That's just something that appeals to me. 'nother great one. Also, nice map. very cool. -Henry
Absolutely the best vlog yet. So stunning. Sounds so pathetic but genuinely some shots made me tear up. It's like you are able to capture so much raw emotion through these vlogs that you create and you do it in such a beautiful and innocent way. No filters, no editing out real life. Love love love
Each week you never fail to disappoint in a world divided by money,power and consumerism at times I'm so thankful the sheer awe and beauty of the world is captured through your lens in an effortless yet honest way. Your videos bring those who are going through drifting highs and soaring lows to moments of complete content. Keep changing how people think and challenging new angles one video at a time, because I am forever greatful.
I had to mention that in the middle of watching this video I went from my laptop and switched to my Ultra HDTV as it was such special footage. You guys are so special what you do. I loved every minute of it!
I literally cannot articulate how amazing this weeks vlog was. I feel cheeky calling it a vlog when it's so much more than that! The way you capture these moments of your lives and how you choose the soundtrack just blows my mind. I am Scottish and the pride I felt watching your film was unexplainable. I cried... on more than one occasion. This is the reason I so look forward to watching your videos every week. Thank you!!! 💛
I love Hannah's energy so much, like if I was pregnant, I'd probably be sat in a couch 24/7 and definitely unwilling to go on such a road trip. But she's so cheerful and truly enjoys herself. It's just amazing to me. The video was absolutely beautiful. Lots of love for you guys
I'm usually a silent watcher, but I can't stay silent after watching this video. You filmmaking is exquisite. You're a true artist. I feel privileged because I'm able to watch this. I have never wanted to go somewhere more than I want to go to the highlands after watching this video. Thank you for showing a beautiful side of this sad and dark world we sometimes live in.
21.53 - 31.58 my heart was in my mouth. Breathtaking, thought provoking and so, so, so, so beautiful. The music, the rhythm, the GVs - each week I don't think they can get any better and then you smash it out the park with the next. WOW. Just totally, awesomely WOW. x
I usually play RUclips videos while I'm cleaning the house or working on my laptop...but not these videos. I skip over them and save them for later...when I can give my undivided attention and revel in the beauty. I feel things Steph ... when I watch your videos. I feel inspired...I feel your passion for film. I can't get enough
Guys , just wow! You blow me away every video you share. Steph your a genius. Hannah , you are looking so beautiful , and Gracie , such a well brought up , lovely little boy. Guys , you should be so proud of him x
I'm not one to comment on videos but I couldn't watch this without telling you how incredibly talented you are Stefan. I'm Scottish and you captured my country better than anything I've ever seen. The tone you set throughout the video was beautiful and tranquil and words cannot do you justice. I watch your family religiously and each week it gets better and each week I respect you more and more as a person and agree with your values and beliefs. I think the way you capture your wife and son on camera is beautiful and this video is so emotionally driven and it shows and please, never for a second, doubt yourself and your immense talent.
Seriously Stef this is a true masterpiece! Beautifully created, filmed and edited 👌🏼 It's also lovely to see you guys take Grayson on adventures rather than shoving technology in his face to keep him entertained like most other parents do! Can't wait to see what other adventures you have in store with Grayson and his soon to be little brother/sister
Woah! I'm just not a fan of sponsored vids much at all these days (mostly because they're lame and contrived) but THIS? This was special and I appreciate so much of what you guys do and who you are as individuals and a family. (Is it weird that I feel so invested in your happiness?) Thank you for taking us on your journey. It really was something else. Breath taking
I have been watching you guys for past 3 years and I think this is alongside with Caribbean vlog my favorite one yet. I don't know how you manage to outdo yourself every time but you do. Love both your travel and home vlogs and please continue to do them. I don't want you to grow but I do want someone important from film world see your work cause it's amazing. Lots of love from Croatia
I've been watching since the beginning and I can honesty say this is my favorite video you've ever made. The world is a truly beautiful place and the way you capture it is breathtaking.
I am a silent viewer, but I have to thank you, Stef and Hannah, for your videos! :) .. I have been feeling really sad lately, because I lost my beloved grandfather 7 weeks ago. And your videos make my life a little bit happier, expecially these couple of days, because my birthday is on this Wednesday, and I can not imagine celebrating my birthday without my grandad.. Love your channel Michalaks, you are doing an amazing job!
I have no words. The landscapes were stunning just by only looking through a screen. I can't imagine how breath taking and calm they are when you see them live. Amazing job Stef as always.
This is arguably one of the most beautiful things I have ever laid my eyes upon. It has certainly fuelled the 'I need to go to Scotland' fire that burns deep inside!
How are you guys so good at this vlogging thing?? 😍 Actually I wouldn't call this vlogging. It's too cinematic and beautiful to be called something so simple as a vlog 💖
Every day, at all times, I feel like my heart is constricted and small, but while watching these video it felt like I could BREATH again with full lungs. I can not tell you how much that means to me! Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU.
I've been watching your videos for a long time and have never left a comment because I feel like everything I have to say has already been said by so many before me, but this time I absolutely had to put into words how much this video impacted me. Step & Hannah, I feel so privileged that you've taken us with you on this unbelievable trip... Scotland in undoubtedly a breathtaking place and the love you've poured into every single frame made the video absolutely exquisite. I got chills watching it! I'm so glad you all enjoyed yourselves so much - it shows!! What a beautiful video, and what a beautiful family. P.s: Land Rover should be very proud, I honestly can't imagine better people to represent the brand!
I love how less and less people describe this as a vlog but rather as a movie or art, which it certainly is! And those were some stunning shots, incredible! You've outdone yourself again, Stef!
Goodness, this was gorgeous. The country of Scotland should be throwing money at you for bringing tourists their way because I think all of us viewers want to travel there now. Well done! As always;)
perfect Sunday morning in Charlotte NC, a cup of tea, breakfast,raining outside and watching The Michalaks. I have never commented before but this is beautiful.
*Got such a big urge rn to drive up to Scotland for that hot chocolate* 👀

stef, every week you somehow manage to make me feel like i'm watching a movie and simultaneously feel like i'm a part of your family. you work magic every week, and i am so thankful.

oh yes!!!!
This was beautiful and so well said.

absolutely!
It's videos like this that make me wish someone would give Stef a big pot of money to make a film. The filming, as always, was stunning.
Alice Clare you're right
I could not agree with you more! He is amazing!
so true! seriously amazing vlogs
that pencil on that paper was just gorgeous...just geeking out over some mark making.
A stunning 30 mins of peace, beauty and serenity to start my Sunday morning- before I return to the madness of teaching tomorrow. You never fail to inspire me each week to get outside and appreciate the little moments x
Frances Thorley I feel exactly the same, this was gorgeous, and heartwarming ❤️
Frances Thorley same feeling!

Visit Scotland need to commission Stef to make their adverts. Absolute master piece and reminds me how proud I am of my beautiful country.
There are no words. I am from the West Coast so I know it's beautiful but I think you did us Scots proud! I only hope to film something so beautiful one day!
The shot with Hannah and Grayson kissing, one of the most beautiful things you have ever shot. The music, the atmosphere everything about it. Made me so emotional. Amazing video, one of your best yet. Xx
Agreed. Beautiful video!
agreed and their profiles were so similar which made it even more heart warming. Beautiful mama and son moment x

Another incredible vlog, perfect balance of silky, funny and thoughtfulness. Also, my dad sat and watched this one on the tv with me, I think he's a fan now too. Lots of Love x
I didn't think I could fall any more in love with Scotland. Seeing it in your perspective through your incredible art was absolutely beautiful.
Mr. Landrover has got a very charming smile, let me just note that. -thanks
I don't know where to begin. The scenery, the editing, the music, the images and message. You blew my mind again! Thank you for this peace of art, like you said, a painting of how you see the world. It's a beautiful way to see it. Keep doing what you do, it makes people happy. :)

Yep, your best work yet. Stef, i didnt think it could get any better, and then you did this. Mind blown x
Most beautiful thing I've ever watched on a Sunday morning.
Stef's little speech about showing how beautiful our world is is exactly why I watch your videos.
Monika Bachvarova TOTALLY agree!!

This was amazing, I'm from Scotland and you captured our country beautifully. You guys are awesome !!
As a Scot living in London this made me miss home so much! Such a stunningly beautiful video. Thank you Stef
Caledonia Mcallan how can you do it lm like in London for a few days and lm like l need to get up the road to busy there and everyone crabbit xxx
got my coffee, about to watch the vlog, can't think of a more perfect start to the day
Sian mathur true
Sian mathur same here!
It's honestly so cool seeing someone you love on youtube visit and genuinely appreciate the country you live in, even if it's only next door to theirs! Thank you for shining Scotland under such a beautifully creative light.
Love love love this channel, been here since Gracie's first bath! So excited for the new baby :)
This planet needs more families like you. I think on RUclips so many people watch and think "I wish I could own that bag" or "I wish I could go on that holiday." You three inspire people to really look at the amazing world around us and who we are in it.
Thank you x
1 minute into this video/movie/ there is not even a word for this amazing piece of art and I already know: this is gonna be epic! :)
Jesus Christ Stef, you're a bloody wizard. This was incredible - I didn't want it to end.
better than any television advert the way you capture every detail of life .the companies u work with are the lucky ones the way u showcase their product is priceless
subday mirning my fav time x
Fiona Dolan I agree, this is much more appealing than TV adverts! I think if Stef made TV adverts they would be brilliant!
Would pay a large amount of money to see this in a cinema, without a doubt Stef just gets better and better, honestly can't give you enough praise for this masterpiece
Scotland is my home. I am so protective of its beauty. I truly believe it's good for your soul to experience Scotland's beauty. I hope you enjoyed your trip
Sg Slt It was good for my soul just to watch it on video, I cant even imagine what it must be like to experience it
Amanda Campolin you should come one day! May or September are best times for weather. your totally right, 10/10 for the video quailty but still, seeing it with your own eyes is another level!

I cried watching this. Just beautiful.
I never thought anything could beat the Iceland vlog but oh my god you have outdone yourselves, this was so beautiful and the perfect way to start my sunday morning so thank you
I'm usually a silent watcher, never liking, never commenting, but it's videos like this that really make you stop and appreciate the incredible talent that you have - the way you capture all manner of occasions, the small moments and the big moments. Truly, truly beautiful. Keep doing what you're doing guys!
Pure art!!!! Thank you guys!!! ❤❤❤❤
Wow, just wow!!! I feel like this could've been an award winning short film at Cannes. I know you plan on making a film at some point, but, right here, you just did. An absolute masterpiece. I know you never seek to inflate your ego, but, the reality is, you were born for this, you were created to bring beauty into this world. Thank you for the years you spent toiling and I'm so glad it's now a living for you too. I can't wait until Wantfeed goes through the roof and you can just have complete financial freedom. You deserve every accolade and I feel the best is still to come. X
There is nothing better than a sunday morning breakfast in bed with a Michalaks vlog! Thank you for this amazing piece of art. I wish your family all the best x
your weekly movies are amazing. but this was cinematic, i will watch it again. just wow
Stef, thank you. This video moved me to tears. You captured my home country, that I love dearly in such a beautiful way. This brought back such lovely memories for me of being in the car with my parents and siblings driving through the highlands and feeling so safe and carefree.
You deserve such recognition as a family, you are a wonderful role models and with everything happening in the world today your videos give hope and show the important things in life.
Thank you and lots of love from Glasgow ❤️
The camera only cements the work, the art that the Michalak's portray! There were moments in this video where I actually cried because it was so beautifully illustrated. I do hope you do not feel the need to constantly perform to such a level where it works you too hard, even a short video will suffice! Keep up the stunning work!! Really well done!
Beautiful. My favourite video of yours ever, I think (and I'm not even finished yet). You've made me so excited to go back to Scotland this summer 🙌🏼
I feel almost hesitant to add to the plethora of enthralled feedback about this film, guys. Stef, I don't want to add to the stress and pressure you already feel in putting this sort of content together. But it has to be said - there aren't powerful enough adjectives to describe how beautiful and moving and inspiring this film is. Thank you, from the deepest parts of my soul.

I like your ad's, they're always interesting, even if I'll never own a landrover. :)
I've been a silent watcher for two years and honestly I cried when you managed to show my home in all its glory, thank you so much guys. It helps articulate to others how beautiful Scotland is. Hope you have a great trip xxxx
MIND BLOWN.
Beyond genius.
That is all.
The first shots of Hannah getting ready, then the broad landscape shots. Man, you guys are incredible and Stef, you're an artist.
Now you've made me want to visit Scotland even more than you did with Iceland, and that's saying something. Stunning film.
So many Brigadoon lyrics dancing through my head while watching this. Absolutely stunning from beginning to end, Michelaks!
I will never tire of watching your videos,
Booking a trip to Scotland right now!!! I cannot be the only after watching is stunning video?!
Yay, I have been so looking forward to this as destress time before my exam! P.s. you missed out the islands x
Stef, your dad voice.....!!!!! What a film you have created! Congratulations, everything was beyond beautiful! 30 min of pure magic!
Stef and Hannah, I know you prefer criticism so you can improve but this was honestly so beautiful... not even the whole way through and I had to tell you that.
Here's the criticism- you're bad at creating poor content...
And also, thanks so much for the beginning. I'm so chuffed!
Bethany Courtney so true lol, they are only getting better x
Absolutely stunning photography and my favourite blog ever x
Bethany Courtney WE ALL NEED TO SHARE ON AL MEDIA OUTLETS, it only takes a second to tweet or post to Facebook to show the incredible videos we have all come to love so much ❤️ @TheMichalaks don't get the full recognition they deserve, Steph's work could be so much more rewarding for us and him. By sharing we give to ourself and back to Staph for the unbelievable beauty we see through his eyes, where he goes we follow and experience what it feels like to be their. This was a great journey he took us on, I will tweet this video right now, will you too?
@TheMichalaks Scotland should be so happy you represented their country in this video, in my opinion it's more a documentary, the essence of Scotlands beauty unfold through your eyes Steph, I can indeed say, The Pips The Pips Are Calling. You are indeed a story teller, I could watch and listen to you for hours on end, I could almost smell the air and the sites and sounds you capture are those move directors strives for to pull us in, you make us feel like we are right beside you ever step of the way, you just get better with everything you share, your passion for photography and filming is our blessing, it truly is a pleasure to watch your videos from start to finish, I appreciate your hard work much more than I can express Steph, thank you so much for being our eyes in places we may never get to go but feel we are their anyway. I Love your work much love to you and your beautiful family xxxxx Margaret
Bethany Courtney I 100% agree with you! I'm not halfway through yet but the sheer beauty of this vlog has me in awe! Great job Michalaks!
I barely gave words to describe the absolute wonder this imagery gave me. I miss Scotland so much, this was like being there again. Thank you.
Okay the first minute took my breath away. Love your creativity!
You little hipster twats! Had me crying three minutes into the film! What a wonderful world we live in with people and families like you! As for right now I am a sobbing disaster that has a smile on her face. This is beyond. This is the kind of art that just touches your heart! Would love to see a film of yours in the cinema! Like a social movie night, where you guys and your viewers meet to enjoy this stunning piece of art! Love, Love, love
I LOVE this idea! The Michalaks have been such an inspiration, and it would be a fantastic experience watching a film of theirs with them!
let's make this happen!
Hah. Was worried about this being an infomercial but it turned out lovely. Should have known. I look forward to these every week.We've spent the last 6 weeks in Scotland (mostly Callander but got to Inverness for a birthday weekend) and LOVED it. So wonderful. Also very true about the dress code. We're from Montana and everyone seemed pretty done up for a hike in the woods through some hills. If you are really getting back in there, it would probably be wise though. Loved the bleakness of the highlands. That's just something that appeals to me. 'nother great one. Also, nice map. very cool.

TravelingMel I live in Irvine but Callander is my all time favourite place, I try and visit at least once a year ❤️
Mel grew up in Newbury Park in Ventura county! Callander was fantastic as was all of Scotland. Great time visiting and making vids here. -Henry
Absolutely the best vlog yet. So stunning. Sounds so pathetic but genuinely some shots made me tear up. It's like you are able to capture so much raw emotion through these vlogs that you create and you do it in such a beautiful and innocent way. No filters, no editing out real life. Love love love
Well Done Guys ! We live here and you have made it look as beautiful as it is .......loved the whole vibe ....xx
Each week you never fail to disappoint in a world divided by money,power and consumerism at times I'm so thankful the sheer awe and beauty of the world is captured through your lens in an effortless yet honest way. Your videos bring those who are going through drifting highs and soaring lows to moments of complete content. Keep changing how people think and challenging new angles one video at a time, because I am forever greatful.
I had to mention that in the middle of watching this video I went from my laptop and switched to my Ultra HDTV as it was such special footage. You guys are so special what you do. I loved every minute of it!
I literally cannot articulate how amazing this weeks vlog was. I feel cheeky calling it a vlog when it's so much more than that! The way you capture these moments of your lives and how you choose the soundtrack just blows my mind. I am Scottish and the pride I felt watching your film was unexplainable. I cried... on more than one occasion. This is the reason I so look forward to watching your videos every week. Thank you!!! 💛
All I can think about it Outlander ... but the videography is stunning too by the way lol!
I Jah same here! all those names just take me back to the series
I love Hannah's energy so much, like if I was pregnant, I'd probably be sat in a couch 24/7 and definitely unwilling to go on such a road trip. But she's so cheerful and truly enjoys herself. It's just amazing to me. The video was absolutely beautiful. Lots of love for you guys
all of a sudden i need to be in Scotland like right now!! ..wow this video was so calming and breathtaking at the same time ! loved it
I'm usually a silent watcher, but I can't stay silent after watching this video. You filmmaking is exquisite. You're a true artist. I feel privileged because I'm able to watch this. I have never wanted to go somewhere more than I want to go to the highlands after watching this video. Thank you for showing a beautiful side of this sad and dark world we sometimes live in.
21.53 - 31.58 my heart was in my mouth. Breathtaking, thought provoking and so, so, so, so beautiful. The music, the rhythm, the GVs - each week I don't think they can get any better and then you smash it out the park with the next. WOW. Just totally, awesomely WOW. x
I usually play RUclips videos while I'm cleaning the house or working on my laptop...but not these videos. I skip over them and save them for later...when I can give my undivided attention and revel in the beauty. I feel things Steph ... when I watch your videos. I feel inspired...I feel your passion for film. I can't get enough
gave me goosebumps ! fab work and wow such a beautiful place !! :)
Guys , just wow! You blow me away every video you share. Steph your a genius. Hannah , you are looking so beautiful , and Gracie , such a well brought up , lovely little boy. Guys , you should be so proud of him x
This vlog (short film) was insanely beautiful. So much love
I'm not one to comment on videos but I couldn't watch this without telling you how incredibly talented you are Stefan. I'm Scottish and you captured my country better than anything I've ever seen. The tone you set throughout the video was beautiful and tranquil and words cannot do you justice. I watch your family religiously and each week it gets better and each week I respect you more and more as a person and agree with your values and beliefs. I think the way you capture your wife and son on camera is beautiful and this video is so emotionally driven and it shows and please, never for a second, doubt yourself and your immense talent.
Seriously Stef this is a true masterpiece! Beautifully created, filmed and edited 👌🏼
It's also lovely to see you guys take Grayson on adventures rather than shoving technology in his face to keep him entertained like most other parents do! Can't wait to see what other adventures you have in store with Grayson and his soon to be little brother/sister
Grayson is only just 3 and has traveled more than I have in my 19 years of living. Love this family to pieces and great job on the editing Stef!
Woah! I'm just not a fan of sponsored vids much at all these days (mostly because they're lame and contrived) but THIS? This was special and I appreciate so much of what you guys do and who you are as individuals and a family. (Is it weird that I feel so invested in your happiness?) Thank you for taking us on your journey. It really was something else. Breath taking
THE SILKY. The silky montage. It was everything. The beauty of our world almost had me in tears fam. Thank you Stef.
I have been watching you guys for past 3 years and I think this is alongside with Caribbean vlog my favorite one yet. I don't know how you manage to outdo yourself every time but you do. Love both your travel and home vlogs and please continue to do them. I don't want you to grow but I do want someone important from film world see your work cause it's amazing. Lots of love from Croatia
I've been watching since the beginning and I can honesty say this is my favorite video you've ever made. The world is a truly beautiful place and the way you capture it is breathtaking.
I am a silent viewer, but I have to thank you, Stef and Hannah, for your videos! :) .. I have been feeling really sad lately, because I lost my beloved grandfather 7 weeks ago. And your videos make my life a little bit happier, expecially these couple of days, because my birthday is on this Wednesday, and I can not imagine celebrating my birthday without my grandad..
Love your channel Michalaks, you are doing an amazing job!
I have no words. The landscapes were stunning just by only looking through a screen. I can't imagine how breath taking and calm they are when you see them live. Amazing job Stef as always.
Absolutely stunning! Now to convince the other half to go on a Scottish road trip! Such beautiful footage x
YOUR VIDEOS ARE MAGICAL. the drone shots of the beach was outstanding
I want to go nowwwww!
This is arguably one of the most beautiful things I have ever laid my eyes upon. It has certainly fuelled the 'I need to go to Scotland' fire that burns deep inside!
How are you guys so good at this vlogging thing?? 😍
Actually I wouldn't call this vlogging. It's too cinematic and beautiful to be called something so simple as a vlog 💖
Every new video of you guys is an artwork itself. The way you create emotions is amazing. I am stunned every time again. Thanks!
'Shh Alexa I don't like you' 😂😂😂
Every day, at all times, I feel like my heart is constricted and small, but while watching these video it felt like I could BREATH again with full lungs.
I can not tell you how much that means to me!
Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU.
There is truly no wonder why these companies come to YOU for sponsorships.
I've been watching your videos for a long time and have never left a comment because I feel like everything I have to say has already been said by so many before me, but this time I absolutely had to put into words how much this video impacted me. Step & Hannah, I feel so privileged that you've taken us with you on this unbelievable trip... Scotland in undoubtedly a breathtaking place and the love you've poured into every single frame made the video absolutely exquisite. I got chills watching it! I'm so glad you all enjoyed yourselves so much - it shows!! What a beautiful video, and what a beautiful family.
P.s: Land Rover should be very proud, I honestly can't imagine better people to represent the brand!
WHEN THE VIDEOS EDITING AND EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD YOU DONT EVENT KNOW WHAT TO COMMENT aka speechless lol
I love how less and less people describe this as a vlog but rather as a movie or art, which it certainly is! And those were some stunning shots, incredible! You've outdone yourself again, Stef!
Goodness, this was gorgeous. The country of Scotland should be throwing money at you for bringing tourists their way because I think all of us viewers want to travel there now. Well done! As always;)
perfect Sunday morning in Charlotte NC, a cup of tea, breakfast,raining outside and watching The Michalaks. I have never commented before but this is beautiful.
*Got such a big urge rn to drive up to Scotland for that hot chocolate* 👀
stef, every week you somehow manage to make me feel like i'm watching a movie and simultaneously feel like i'm a part of your family. you work magic every week, and i am so thankful.
