  • I Decided to Leave The Group 🇵🇭 Philippines
    The island hopping tours of the Philippines are a popular day trip for many Filipinos and foreigners on vacation, but sometimes I prefer to stray from the pack. In this episode in the the Philippines, my friend and I explore islands near Bohol, Philippines.

    Hey Jonathan, I travelled to The Philippines a few weeks ago, primarily encouraged by your clips. We must have crossed each other along the way! It was so exciting to be in familiar places, to travel by local bus, Jeepney and tricycle and to practise my new words and to meet, eat and just have fun. First time solo TP traveller. I had a ball. Good job 👍 🚌

    We enjoyed the dolphin watch in Bohol. I think it is a hit or miss thing.
    It was a cloudy day when we went out and also about a dozen boats with us. It was definitely a fun day. It is worth renting the GoPro for the snorkeling adventure. Also recommend checking the tide table you you arrive at Virgin Island close to low tide. Otherwise the sandbar will be covered at high tide.

      Hi Clarissa! I'm actually going to talk about that in my upcoming recorded Q&A video I'm working on. But to answer it here, I'm just used to it. I spend most of my time alone, and it's just become normal for me. It's not what I want, but it is what is. Sometimes there are good coworking or coliving spaces that you can find around the world with other digital nomads doing the same thing, and so that is a great way to meet people. Or language exchange meetups, meetups arranged in facebook groups, etc.
