    Awesome video, I really enjoy watching them to get inspiration!
    My girlfriend and I are currently debating what our next destination for a 1/1.5 month remote working location should be this year in November/December. The only thing we know is that it should be not too touristy and that surfing should be a priority. What would be your top 3 recommendations for that time? Can’t wait to hear from you!!
    Thx,

    • @JooseTheNomad

  • @InsomniaTalks
    @InsomniaTalks Před 7 měsíci +1

    Hey great video thank you! _ I'm visiting here in February and planning to stay for 3 months. I much prefer uncrowded hidden gem waves and also more of a relaxed local traditional vibe when travelling so whilst I will surf down south for a bit, I was considering staying most of my time in the north - Alegria specifically - I have seen there is a decent left hander at Pacifico which is a little to the south of Alegria but do you know if there are some decent spots this far north?
    They don't need to be as good quality as cloud 9 or anything, but a fairly decent uncrowded wave on the doorstep would be amazing!
    Also for real unchartered territory I'm considering hoping across to Dinagat island to find empty waves here too so if anyone has been here I'd love to know!
