Oh, you know, from time to time, you run into the coolest most amazing people either in person or online, and you just have to tell the world about them. I'm telling you all about Shaun Alexander, a wonderful Scottish blogger out of my favorite city of Edinburgh. Shaun is not only a super sweet (and handsome) bearded man from my favorite spot on Earth, he's laughable, loveable, fun-loving, witty, charming, and sorry ladies, he's 100% absolutely married too! He's married to an amazingly pretty woman from Brazil I think, and you can learn all about her, his dog, his travels, his life -- he is so open, and so willing to talk about everything. He even talks about his person struggles with psoriasis. This is a really awesome guy!
The vloggers I have watched over the past few years have mainly been self-serving and basically showing off for the camera and trying to get their viewers to be a little jealous or envious really, but Shaun doesn't do that. I mean YES, he does travel, go places, see things, share events with us, and he just happens to live the life that so many people would dream of, but he's made good choices in life to be able to do this. He doesn't have to share his world with us. We are so blessed and silly-happy that he does though. I'm telling you, I can't wait each and every day to see if he's posted another fun video from chasing birds on Portobello Beach, to swimming in the cool clean waters of Croatia! He's living the life!
You can catch Shaun's vlog on Instagram at www.instagram.com/shaunvlog or you can see him on YouTube at www.youtube.com/shaunvlog. He's on Facebook too. Check him out, listen, learn, laugh, and live. He'll be happy to chat with you if he has time, but he's just so busy being free and fun these days. At least you can always be sure that he's trying to reach as many of his viewers as he can, but currently with over 176K followers on YouTube and more than 22K on Instagram, there is really no way for him to pin down every note or comment to be able to respond. Maybe most of your questions can be answered in the vlogs themselves! One of my favorite longer vlogs was a recent account of how his family home, the home where his grandparents lived, was being sold and he was taking one last look around it for memory sake. He told us about the days he played on the swings and in the yard with animals and family. He reminisced about the good days and the times that seemed eternal. It was really sweet. I hated that his family was going through the changes they were, but it is something we all face now and again.
You'll find Shaun to be so interesting as he brings you latest and up to date information about Scotland, particularly areas around and surrounding the capital city of Edinburgh. He takes you on day trips to castles, beaches, fun places, and you get to see the real events going on around him. He keeps you up to date on the shows being filmed in Scotland, primarily Outlander, and you'll find out tidbits about the cast, crew, filming, and locations that perhaps you didn't realize. It's so much fun. I am not usually one to get into "unboxing" or the opening of gifts and secret sendings from people all around the world, but everyone love Shaun so much, and they send him really interesting things to open. He had a really fun opening event with his sister, where they opened foods and candies from people mostly in the United States. I guess I don't think of other people not knowing what Bottle Caps are, or what Red Hots are all about. It made me laugh.
Well, that's about it on Shaun. Drop in on him from time to time through the videos and give him your opinions on things. He's very open, very intellectual, interested in what you have to say, and he won't say things to please people; he tells it like he sees it, and oh yes, he's Scottish, so you could just listen to him talk all day long! Be good to yourself and give Shaun a try! Tell him I sent you! You'll love him and want to share his links with everyone you know!
