Scout and Story
Welcome to Scout & Story - where history meets everyday life ✨
Hi, I’m Meg — a South African storyteller living in Amsterdam.
On this channel, I blend hidden histories, expat life, travel, and the moments that connect us to a place
This channel brings together everything I love:
• the roots I’m growing in Amsterdam
• the South African heart I carry with me
• the journeys we take across Europe
• and the vintage objects I collect for Scout’s Table
I film city walks, hidden histories, expat life, museums, old maps, tall ships, and the small discoveries that make a place feel like home.
If you love stories woven from the past and present, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s explore together.

Filming update from my latest upload: My very best friend here in the Netherlands joined me on filming for this particular story.

Everything was going perfectly… until Amsterdam’s shopping called her name 🤭
Can’t blame her — she looked amazing and the Mango bag proves it. 😄
Extra scenes coming soon

New upload is LIVE! 🎬
This vlog didn’t go as planned… I actually missed the footage I was supposed to capture on race day – so I had to rethink the entire story and take it in a different direction.
But maybe that’s real life – imperfect, messy, and still meaningful.
👉 Watch it here:

Would love to hear what you think – and thank you for being here and supporting this journey. 💛

🎬 Behind the Scenes — Barbie in Amsterdam 💗
Every “solo YouTuber” story actually has a few unsung heroes behind the camera!
On this day, I was lucky to have my friend as my camera girl/videographer — and honestly, I couldn’t have done it without her.
It takes a little courage (and a lot of laughter) to film in public, but friendship makes it all easier.
Here’s to starting out, trying new things, and helping each other shine 💫

This might not be my best upload… but it’s real life 👑✨
Between a PC that didn’t want to cooperate, two sick kids at home, and me running on empty, I still pressed publish. Not perfect, but progress. This is the reality of expat life and content creation rolled into one 😅.
In this vlog, I share a historic Prinsjesdag moment — for the very first time, all three princesses joined the King on the balcony 🇳🇱 — plus some everyday changes that will affect us all (like why Schiphol has become one of the most expensive airports to fly from ✈️).
I’d love for you to watch, share your thoughts, and mostly — be kind with this one 💛

👋 Welcome to the Scout & Story community!
I’m so happy you’re here. This is a space where I’ll share behind-the-scenes moments, little discoveries, and updates from my adventures in the Netherlands (and sometimes beyond).
I’d love for this to be more than just my stories — it’s also a place for you to share your thoughts, questions, and ideas.
✨ To start: tell me — where in the world are you watching from?
