Hey, I’m Shaun.

Welcome to my newsletter and home on the internet.

I’m honored that you’re here!

In 2014, having worked as a journalist in my early 20s, I picked up a video camera and started to film things, taking inspiration from other vloggers like Casey Neistat.

I filmed my travels, the things I saw and the people I met - posting them on my ‘shaunvlog’ YouTube channel.

As my ‘vlog’ - which means video blog - evolved, and became part of my personal brand, I began to build an audience and gain special opportunities.

For example, in 2017 I was invited by the United States Embassy to London, to go on a tour of the USA called ‘Exploring American Values’. This trip opened my mind, kick starting a personal love affair with the United States which burns bright inside me until today, and serves as an anchor for my content.

And now in 2025, my story continues to evolve, with a possible longer stint in the US on the horizon, I’m excited to share my journey with you all.

Aside from the above, I live in Edinburgh, Scotland, which is my hometown. I’m married to Teka, who is from Brazil, and we often spend time in her amazing home country as well.

Through this Newsletter, I will be sharing my experiences and thoughts that I hope you will find interesting, amusing, and perhaps curious. If you like what I’m doing here and would like to help me cover the cost of telling these stories, you could become a fully paid-up subscriber to this newsletter, or you could join my Patreon membership.
