Spending My BIRTHDAY ALONE! Getting Trapped & Reflecting On The Past Year .xx ad

[@Sonicmumbles]

Thank you Mark. I'm a 38 year old single mum of 2 and that's more lonely than it sounds, my children have additional needs so it's difficult. Your videos make me feel less lonely and more motivated to do stuff. Thank you and happy birthday x x

I only have one child but I feel this comment in my soul. I hear you and send love to you. ❤️ Thank you for sharing and inspiring us, Mark! We love you! So proud of you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@oliviamacdougall7577]

I’ve been thinking about why it is that I am so drawn to your videos over other youtubers (of course despite the content) and I think it’s because as a creator you have created a community of people who watch you as friends as oppose to fans and that truly is the most special part and why so many feel so connected to you and your journey. So many youtubers refer to the viewers as “friends” and “family” but you don’t leave the video feeling like you’ve just left a friend or family member after a catch up. Actions over words. At the end of every video i genuinely genuinely feel like i’ve just left a friend. you have made something so unique out of such a populated platform just by being you, you should be so proud

I don’t usually laugh out loud watching KZbin but bless you mark, getting lost using the staff elevator 😂😂😂

[@MarkFerris1]

nightmare me hahaha xx

[@melisinspired4732]

I could not stop laughing and needed a good laugh like that! Poor Mark. The more panicky he got, the more I couldn’t stop laughing (though I felt guilty about that too but just couldn’t stop!). Only Mark would get caught in floors and floors of a staff maze, and then also still share it with us!

[@pop0tabs]

So proud of you Mark! You are inspiration and you helped my bestie take the plunge on a solo trip to Maine last week! I sent him your Salem video and he bought the plane ticket 🎉

[@kay43793]

I have watched your videos since 2015, when I first saw you in Zoe's vlogs. Firstly, being able to watch your friendship grow and blossom is amazing. But, seeing your confidence come to light throughout the years is so special and I am honoured to be able to see that. You are such an inspiration to many! Keep doing you hun! ☺

I second this! I loved him instantly!!!

Typical of you Mark to get in the wrong lift and get trapped 🤣🤣😉. Honestly I love all your videos and have done for many years. You’re such a beautiful soul and extremely hilarious 😂. I’m so proud of how far you’ve come with your solo travels over the last year. They have all been so inspirational and I’m extremely jealous that you have the confidence to do it. Never stop being you Mark, you’re amazing! ❤

[@MarkFerris1]

thanks sooo much my lovely xx

[@robjames623]

Hi Mark I have agoraphobia and watching your solo trips has inspired me to go to the shop near my home thank you love from Liverpool

[@elliebelly2294]

I hope it went ok! Agoraphobia is a bitch

[@mirandah6348]

Mark these solo videos mean so much to me! I’m on a similar journey where I’m learning to love myself, enjoy my own company and build a relationship with myself. It’s so comforting to watch you share your experience

[@cazziemichaels]

I can’t be the only one who wants Mark to travel to Norway for a solo travel. I feel like he would like it

[@baokachi9767]

or iceland! he would love iceland

[@stefaniegalea6810]

Thank you Mark. I am a 40 year old mum and also feel so lonely at times. I have always been an anxious person and suffer with low confidence . I think you should be prescribed on their NHS because I instantly feel better when I have watched your vlog !. I am also trying to take inspo from you and try new things with my head up high and not care what people think. Keep up the great work ❤

[@steff6682]

Love a wholesome cosy Mark vlog! I also love how you say drinky-poooosss 🥂 everyone always thinks I’m weird when I say it haha 😂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳

[@shannyvlogs]

Being able to watch Mark grow as a person has been so inspiring. Feels like I’m watching my friends on holiday 🫶🏽

i can totally relate- i do most things on my own too and it does feel empowering! good for you mark

"I think I got stuck in the staff lift"😲- Mark

[@diego_fe]

I am 25 and since I was like 20 or 21 been going out on my own. Its really relaxing and does help destressing and learning to be by yourself. Ive never traveled alone id like to one day

[@CourtneyMM]

Omg you getting trapped is making me so anxious !!!! That would 100% happen to me and that music on the roof isn't helping !! 😂

[@CourtneyMM]

Happy birthday ❤️

[@kompisteam]

I’m from Norway, and I really hope you will travel here some day. I never get tired of exploring my own country, it’s just so stunning! I have also studied and lived in Copenhagen for a couple of years and it’s my favourite city by far. Love your videoes and your positive attitude. Keep it up, Mark!

[@susannechickenmom5621]

Never a dull moment with Mark ☺️

[@floralsimmy5537]

even the theme tune at the start of your videos is so cute and so you, never properly listened to the lyrics til now, love it 🥺

[@FoxRavan]

Mark is such a lovable melt 😂😂 getting in the wrong lift hahah bless him. Hope you had a great birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂 xx

[@ilse1]

I needed your talk on the solo travelling thing, i'm on my first ever long-term solo travel of three months and i'm now one month in and feeling a bit overwhelmed at times. Really made me appreciate everything

[@mkcarlin]

Mark stuck in the stairwell and employee area….😂😂😂😂😂 I was dying ❤ Happy Birthday my lovely 🥳

[@lauradulwich]

Mark you’re honestly so inspiring. I spent my birthday alone at the beach this year. It’s my favourite place and I honestly had the best day! Bought myself some cake and genuinely enjoyed my own company. Thank you for always being so honest and real! You certainly inspired me to do that trip 💖

[@lidet19]

Love your videos, Mark. You're an amazing person and so lovely! Happy birthday!

[@miriahhannah6913]

So much comfort in one vlog

[@nadiasabrina_]

Not sure if you would ever see my comment, but I have been following you since you first appeared in Zoe’s video and honestly seeing you grow so much from then till now is really inspiring. I was always so afraid of doing things on my own but seeing your confidence grow more and more in each video has actually helped me to step out of my own bubble. I really wanna thank you for sharing your growth and journey through your videos as it really means a lot for people like me! ❤

[@ernestjrdinsdale7321]

Happy birthday Mark. May the Lord bless you with many more years to come.

I am howling at you getting in the staff lift 😂😂 hilarious!! Hope you had the best birthday 🎉 x x x

[@cheekyllamacreations]

Thank you, Mark. I’m an East Londoner but live in Perth, Western Australia. I haven’t been home to see my family and friends since 2019. I’m so homesick and it was lovely to see my beloved London and The Thames, especially at night time with all the lights. Maybe next year I will be able to get home. Loved the video. Wishing you a belated happy birthday 🎉🍺🥂🍾

[@Jules-vh2pb]

Awww poor you 😂😂😂 at least you found your way in the end sweetie. Happiest of birthdays to you 🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳😊😘❤️

[@helenaxsophiex]

the music when you got stuck on the wrong floor I am crying with laughter, it's like you're in a video game or something

[@linzertube]

It seems to be that when you concentrate on your own growth and happiness, that’s when someone special comes into your life. Maybe they see your inner-self glowing, or something. I don’t know. But, I’m happy for you and the past year of milestones. 💗🧡💗🧡💚🥳🎉Happy Belated Birthday, Mark!🎉🥳 💚💗🧡💗🧡Oy, Oy! P.S. Getting lost in the hotel elevator and stairwell felt like Mark’s version of Blair Witch Project.😅

[@vanessahall9247]

Yes Mark, come to Australia, you will absolutely love it !

[@shawnaleady]

I hope you had the best birthday! Thanks for sharing your travels with us. If you don't have them already, I would highly suggest getting packing cubes. They're a real game changer when organizing your travel bag.

[@NT-fq8sk]

Go you Mark! I currently live abroad, and it does sometimes feel lonely. But I will say when I celebrated my birthday and even Christmas alone it felt quite liberated. It felt like although I love having my friends and family around, I am even more confident in doing things by myself and more confident in what I want for my life.

[@sully2374]

The transition of “I’m sweating so much” to “this is lovely,” I fucken love it!!!! I can relate so much 😂😂 being a Libra has its perks and cons 😂

[@kareng39]

Omg I’m feeling you there on getting lost. That’s totally something I would do. Your anxiety amped up when you get in situations like that hence the sweating. I’m glad you got out and kept your head. ❤

[@tilliewilson4197]

Mark it makes me so happy watching all of your solo trips! It really has inspired me to start doing things myself too which I can’t lie does slightly scare me. I am someone who prioritises everyone else over myself and now I realise I don’t know myself at all to be honest. I hope you had a wonderful time for your birthday and I am so happy for you! ❤️

[@wendyj8212]

Mark, just wanted to let you know you are one of my favorite UK KZbinrs. You are always so upbeat and fun. I feel like you are one of my friends and every time you post a video we catch up. Happy Birthday!! And hope you have a great Birthday week!! Cheers!!

[@LilyWright90]

I love your vlogs. You are one of the only KZbinrs who kept it real this whole time. I love your day to days etc. You live in my area of London (before we went off travelling!) so I love to see your time around London and other travel vlogs. Thank you for keeping it real!

[@irenememo]

I used to live in Canary Wharf. So surreal to see you step foot in that area. You’re the best with the best soul. Xoxo. Happy birthday! Stay real stay fabulous !!!!

Hey Mark, You do make me chuckle so much with your humour. I'm 50 and i still dont know left my right and pull from push. lol. Getting in the wrong lift it classic Mark and thats why we love you. lol. You have been such an inspiration to so many especially this year with your solo travelling. Please always remember how much you are truly respected, loved, valued and cherished from your professional co workers to your online KZbin family. You are such a well grounded down to earth friendly sweet soul. Never feel you are alone as we are always there with you. I hope you had the best birthday and as always be well and happy travels. xx

[@milliecorbyn-brown5039]

You’ve helped me so much, when I came to uni I felt so lonely and you inspired me to love my own company and now I can leave by myself exploring London without having to wait around for people or for people to cancel on me or re arrange. If I want to do something and a friend can’t come. I’ll do it on my own so thank you xx

Happy belated Birthday Mark - keep being you. Lots of love x

[@cathyenfield]

It's been a few years that I keep feeling like the world and society is built to be lived in twos and it gets to me that I'm alone. But when I see your videos I feel so inspired and empowered, we're here to bring ourselves beautiful lovely moments we can enjoy and we need nothing but ourselves for that 🥲 Thank you for always reminding us happiness is still a choice we can make for ourselves and a habit we can grow into if we practice enough 💛

Happy Belated Birthday 🎉 Thanks for making wholesome videos, with all the cosy and chill feels! Your videos always make my day 🌷✨

[@jade-vo2ns]

Hi Mark, Just wanted to say thank you. I discovered your videos a few weeks ago after watching a Zoe and mark vlog and then proceedings to watch more and then finding your solo travels and becoming obsessed. I love how comforting and cozy they are and they have been helping me during study breaks in this exam season at uni. I’ve since binged the last three years of your content and watching you grow and have a laugh has helped keep my spirits up when I felt tired and overwhelmed. I also grew up with tv and movies being a big part of my childhood and the nostalgia you talk about makes so much sense I’m like yay it isn’t just me - although I can’t do horror stuff haha Sending you lots of love and hoping this next year will be even better ☺️❤️

[@mrsclairemoose]

Your videos are so inspiring! A little different but I’ve pushed myself to go on theme park rides this year when I’ve always been so scared to and I feel so good about it and I enjoyed it! But it’s about so much more than just doing the rides

[@Mike_Vlogs_YT]

Happy belated birthday! Loved the skyline views from your room & omg you getting lost/stuck on the roof terrace was so funny 🤣

[@jamfgh2589]

You definitely got in the staff lift as it said staff only but it was very funny and respect for actually including it in your vlog 😂. These things happen to the best of us at some point!

[@AlliB_Graham]

Mark- I needed this vlog so much! ❤ It’s looking like I will be spending my bday alone as well (well, with my son- he’s 2 😅). And I was dreading it. But after watching this I realized how it’s not a terrible thing to be alone on your bday. I can still treat myself to a nice day. 🤍 Love you so much! Thank you for sharing.

[@meghanmecca918]

Last month I traveled to the next state over on my own to see my favorite band in concert. I did so many things I never thought I could. I was honestly baffled and so surprised by myself. The confidence it gave me was astonishing! I am so happy that you and so many others have been experiencing this as well. You're such a lovely guy and such an inspiration to so many! xoxo

[@angelakirk5527]

The place to visit for majestic photos: Geiranger fjord/Olden. Amazing waterfalls and nature. The weather is very changing so do pack smart! 😊
