  • They say 'it's more fun in Philippines' ? Not really ! You would imagine with the Philippines made up of more than 7,000 islands especially when several islands of Philippines are listed in the top list of 'best beach / best island in the world', there would be the dream island getaway paradise that fit your lifestyle everywhere you go, Correct ? That's totally wrong. Period. - admittedly that's one of our mistake made in the Philippines, which you can find in this philippines travel video -
    If you travel wrong, of course it is not gonna be fun.
    The Philippines is indeed paradise but it doesn't mean that everything will fit your expectation or lifestyle, especially when it is your first time in the Philippines, I do sure that Philippines has everything to offer to anybody who visit, but you need to also understand that with over 7000 islands in the Philippines, Things can be totally different from islands to islands. From what we heard, even the language they speak is different, food is also different, and of course Geopraphy is totally different as well .
    You need to avoid these mistakes in the video! If you avoid these mishaps then yes your trip in the Philippines will be unforgettable and amazing!
    Where we visit in Philippines : Dumaguete, Cebu, Siquijor island, Apo island, Pueto princesa, El Nido, Coron, Puerto Galera, Manila.

      The most common areas are in jeepneys! There is a saying “Kung sa jeepney, at ang phone mo sa knee, hindi ka magulat, kung wala lahat.”, in english “In the jeepney, and your phone is on your knee, dont be surprised, if you lose everything.” because you can easily lose everything on the jeepney by being careless.

    Philippines is an archipelago of 7,641 islands đŸ‡”đŸ‡­ There's alot to explore!
    *That's why it's more Fun in the Philippines 😁 Top 3 tips:
    1. It's an English-speaking country. Don't be afraid to ask anywhere you go especially in small stores/sari-sari stores because they can give you helpful info to save time and money as well. You can also buy basic necessities in a sari-sari store like toiletries, sim cards (not all have), food and beverages. Learn how to bargain when buying stuff esp when you are in the market area or in services that they offer, tour etc.
    2. Be prepared of the uncontrollable factors like weather (sometimes it can suddenly rain,, summer season is best to travel if you like a perfect tan around March to June. Don't forget your Sunblock and umbrella) and severe traffic (esp in the cities Manila, Makati, EDSA. Not too much traffic in the provinces) can take your patience out. Make sure to leave early if you have plans. Just condition yourself that it will not always come your way so that you can enjoy your trip. And be prepared for extra cash if any additional expenses arise.
    3. Be safe and cautious Always. Don't flaunt jewelries or expensive gadgets it is eyesore for thiefs, robbers, scammers etc. It is basic in any country not to leave your things unattended. Have coins/smaller bills ready in a coin purse coz you will always need it in transportation like jeepneys, tricycles, taxi and grab or in buying in sari sari stores. This will also avoid bringing out your wallet full of cash coz you don't know again maybe someone is already looking out for it esp if you are in public and crowded places.
    *Added tip😎
    Do a research or watch vlogs and reviews about the country you want to visit esp for first time travellers. If you already have a local friend in the Philippines, it's better to ask for the places where you want to visit or for any recommendations. If you're lucky your friend might join your trip and tour you around as well. Filipinos are hospitable and respectful so we expect that our visitors will also be as well.
    Hope you enjoy your next trip in our country!!!đŸ–ïžđŸžïž đŸ„â€â™‚ïžđŸ•ïžđŸŒˆ

I wonder what happens in the next years when this kind of things don't stop. We are slowly destructing our own mother land and not many people realise that. We need to make a move or we kill earth.

      @JayDollarhide Pƙed 6 lety

      Our hostel is just more or less for fun. We have a house in Cebu, a house in Leyte, and the property where we will build the hostel. I am really easy going, the pace doesn't bother me, I have been all over SE Asia and will continue to travel all over that area of the world, and know how everything goes. My wife taught school in Cebu and has connections all over the area, her sister and brother are pretty influential and will also be helpful, the family is in good financial shape, and if anything serious happens to me health wise I will head back to the US. My wife and I have good retirements coming, and I will continue to pay into my Medicare back here in the US so I am not too concerned about much, healthwise. If something happens I will just have to deal with it, I guess...

    For less than a year traveling, you have made a nice little channel. Very enjoyable guys for any level of visitor. I am not quite sure how you managed to get out of NAIA without being offered sim cards by a dozen vendors, but just look for the Smart or Globe logo, a few pesos and they'll fit it in for you as well, sell you a scratch card (fixed price) load, and even enter that and set you up with a day or week unlimited data and calls. As you noted, Filipinos are very helpful friendly and approachable.

      For foreigners it makes more sense if you have a phone already to get a sim card as soon as possible even if it's more expensive especially arriving at all hours of the day or night and it's safer to stay at the airport carrying all your bags instead of going outside till you reach your destination.

And we always make it a rule to arrive at the airport 3 hrs before any flight, so we were stuck from 0700-1400. Cebu pac did email us the night before but we missed it. We had a 4y/o with us too.
