Tell me guys what you think about Philippines! And do you have questions about Philippines or maybe just about me? Let me know 😉
I am slovak
I don't know where exactly are Philippines. I just know its island somewhere in asia. It's a beautiful contry. I am from slovakia and I don't like much Slovakia
Hmmm máš nejaké obľúbené slovenské pesničky?:D
@@LukiK856 You are right, The Philippines is in Asia and we have about 7200 Islands approximately 😊😊
I want to visit my friend from Philippines, he visited Slovakia a couple of years ago. Now, I try to save some money to be able to fly and spend some time there 🥰 my question is, have you ever climbed Mt. Apo? It's a very huge dream of mine! Have a wonderful weekend.
I just want to tell you... I am a teacher I teach little children english language. We once watched one of your videos with the students. The idea was that I show them someone from abroad learning slovak language. You see? English speaking people learn languages too and yes, our language too and look how fun it can be. They liked it sooo much. Now they are always asking me: When do we watch another video with the lady who likes fidorkas?" :D ..You don´t even know what a great source of inspiration you are.
Jakub! You make my day! this story melts my heart :) I am glad I am inspiring small kids to appreciate more Slovakia and their language and culture! We should keep that, its the reason why this country is soo beautiful :)
❤❤❤
Wishing you all the best Kimberly, enjoy our wonderful country(especially nature) and don't let negative people disgust you😄
Thanks Rastislav! 😊😊
I'm so gald that you have moved to Slovakia and made a channel about it!! I go there a couple of times every year and it is so lovely!
Thanks Sofia, ad you like Philippines too. I am missing it a bit, hopefully I get to visit again someday soon. For now, I'm enjoying exploring Slovakia 😊
to be honest I didn't know where Slovakia is until I met someone online who is a slovak and I goggled the place. It's beautiful🥰🥰I will visit there one day🤗
You should visit this country someday! You will love it :) I like it better than Paris haha 😂
where are you from?
me, slovak, reading this comment, and not understanding about what you talking😆. But in the politics, where you look, there is "money theif". Almost every day, is in news in TV, that again was someone got arrest. Our country is beautiful, but we are so poor :(
But as the country, Slovakia is beautifull.
So beautiful, so cute, such interesting story and message. Thank you! Love to have you here, you have no idea how Slovakia needs this, and you are one of the pioneers to let the world and paradoxically the Slovakian people know how proud should they be, to change the perspective for themselves, that for lot of parts of the globe, their country could be exotic and beautiful, too! Thank you.
I could not agree more! I cant wait to see Tatras and show off my friends how beautiful it is! 😎
I am so happy you like our beautiful Slovakia, Slovakia is really hidden gem in Europe with beautiful nature, castles and food. I was never in PH but i have many internet friends (mostly on twitter) from ph and they are all so nice
I totally agree, Slovakia is a hidden gem. It is only a matter of time when people discover how beautiful Slovakia is.. I hope Slovakia will be ready for that :)
Hi Kimberly, my wife is from Pampanga and I am from Slovakia. We live in the U.K. I have been to Philippines 8 or 9 times ( don't remember exactly) It's nice to hear that you like it in Slovakia.
Thanks Branislav 😊 I love Slovakia, it's different from Philippines but also a beautiful country! Regards on your Filipina wife, and always be safe there! 🙂
Thanks, I love Philippines too. It's like my second home😁
Mozme pokecat 😊?
wow krásne to tam vyzerá!! 💚 máš pravdu my o našej krajine vždy hovoríme negatívne. Cudzinci naopak toto nikdy nerobia a vždy si to odkiaľ pochádzajú vážia.
To je pravda 😊💚🙋🏽♀️
Im so glad you moved to Slovakia!
Thank you Marek, im glad Slovakia has welcomed me so warmly! :)
@@ChasingKimberly Inak, ak by ťa to zaujímalo, ja som slovák, takže...
@@marekblahovec1357 Ja som tiež Slovenka
@@LuciaJeSuper_1501 pekne ;)
im happy because you live here.please enjoy your life in Slovakia.
Thank you so much! :)
Im happy you moved to Slovakia. Hope you dont miss your country too much
Thanks Laura, I miss it a bit, but Slovakia has been so good to me, I feel at home :)
I felt your happiness watching snow for the first time ❄️😍 I'm from Mexico so I guess when I'm going to be in Slovakia with my boyfriend I'll love it.
I'm sure you will love Slovakia, it's a charming country 😊😊
Hello Kimberley - and many thanks for your another lovely video! Well, there is no question that Philippines is a country of a great natural beauty and nice people - that attracts tourists. Anyway, you might tell us more about things "below the surface" in Philippines, which are so important for daily life and invisible for a superficial tourist: For example, about health care, safety, education, public transportation, environmental matters, unemployment rate, conditions for maternity leave and family life, etc.
After all my extensive travelling and work in many countries, I'm convinced that Central Europe has some special advantages for the daily good-quality life, including a nice life-to-work balance. Beautiful and growing Slovakia is no exception. Even such an elementary thing - like safe drinking tap water practically everywhere - is by far not common in many parts of the world. And travelling is so easy from here (well, after the world emerge from this gloomy global pandemic times...). Best wishes from the brotherly Czech Republic!
Thanks a lot! In the coming videos, I will be making videos comparing my life here in Slovakia and Philippines, where I will share more than just the good sides of it :) I hope it will be helpful for other people :) Thanks so much for sharing these ideas with me! 😎
@@ChasingKimberly Many thanks Kimberley for your extremely quick and nice response! Yes - please be our eyes and link to the life in Philippines! Frankly - I also feel that many people in Slovakia need this balanced view from the outside to appreciate better so many good aspects of life in Slovakia. Best from Brno (CR) - Aleš.
Thank you so much for your videos! 😁 Iam so glad you like our country and thank you for it😊 I found your channel just random on youtube and I don't regret it 😁
Thanks Radkaa! I'm glad you are liking my channel 💙
Ďalšie pekné video Kim. Robíš nám všetkým radosť. :) priveď sem na Slovensko viac takých usmievavých dievčat z Filipín ako Ty :)
Ďakujem 😊💚
Som rodený západniar, ale najkrajšie je stredné Slovensko. Hory, príroda a drevené stavby 🤩
Dik! Ja som z Martina!
Díky
Ja som stredák tiež xD
Every country in the world is beautiful!! Slovakia is that hidden gem buried in the mountains of Central Europe waiting for people to discover. Philippines is great too! I wouldn’t say which country is better or more beautiful, because each country is different and we don’t compare them on an absolute scale. But no matter how different the beauty is, it’s always a great experience to go to another place and discover a different beauty. In short, the world is a beautiful place!
I could not agree more. I feel so blessed to be able to have a chance to travel and see few countries already. And now even live in Slovakia. I hope more people would appreciate how beautiful the world is 💚
@@ChasingKimberly True, people should really go see the rest of the world and open their horizons once the pandemic is over!
Som veľmi hrdá na teba, že máš rada našu krajinu a že sa ju snažíš povzbudiť. Ďakujem💛🙏🏻🇸🇰
Ďakujem 💚💚💚
I'm loving watching your channel grow!! Keep it up! 😉☺
Also Frozen is my daughters favourite Disney, after Moana 😊
Ahoj Abbie! Thanks so much, in a way, you helped my channel grow by picking up one of my videos so thanks a lot for that! I hope you will make new video soon 😄
@@ChasingKimberly oh yay! That makes me happy, I'm so glad I could help, us small CZcamsrs gotta look out for one another! I wil deff post a video soon. Currently focusing on other bits, but will be back to posting regularly at some point 😊
Welcome to Slovakia, You are very kind Filipinien women and I wish You all the best in Slovakia...I cross fingers for your happines (:
Thank you 😊
What a journey!
Honestly, I don't know well enough Slovakia myself so it's interesting to see your experiences from there
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked my video about Slovakia 😊
Hopefully, once travel is allowed and you and your husband maybe visit the Philippines, you could vlog it? Such a beautiful country and I think you'd do a great job. I'm so relieved you love Slovakia, especially since it's such a big move. I tried to live in England and just couldn't adjust so I'm in awe of you!
Yes we hope too that soon we will be able to visit Philippines again, my husband specially could not wait to be in the beach again 😂😂 I will for sure make a vlog about it!
Yayy! Another amazing video about Slovakia! ☆☆☆
thank you! :)
Musim uznat, Prvy krat ked som dostal do recommended tvoje video alebo skor videa tak som mal z toho low expectations ale cim dalej klikam na videa tak som casom aj zmenil kompletne nazor,
som rad ze clovek z KOMPLETNE inej kultury sa citi u nas ako doma, poznam jednu babu z anglicka ktora hovori ze slovencina je krasny jazyk tak som jej hned poslal tvoje videa a toto video bude uplny cherry on top :D Mas pekny content a som rad ze v malom strucnom balicku si ho ludia zo sveta mozu pozriet a aj trochu byt oboznameny nasou kulturou. Len tak dalej Kim ;) drzim palce a diki za wholesome content ... again :D
Ďakujem pekne za krásny koment . 💚💚💚🙋🏽♀️
@@ChasingKimberly neboj aj nabuduce ;) :D
same at first i didn't know where is slovakia is but when i meet someone who is from slovakia and i got curious what is it like or what culture they have and i found out that slovakia is a beautiful country and there are so many castles and now im trying to learn slovak language 🙂😍
Wow! I hope you all the best in learning the Slovak language. I hope you will be able to visit this country someday, you will like it for sure 😊
I hope too even tho its hard to pronounce the other words 😅🤭 and thank you for your videos to help me learn and know a lot of things about slovakia ☺❤
@Charlone Hortilano Welcome Charlone , I'm glad my videos are helping you somehow! all the best 😊
Thank you so much that you presenting our country like this 🥰😘🙏🏻❤️ We are proud of you !
Thank you Lucia! :)
Si snáď jediná zahraničná youtuberka ktorá vie po slovensky. Ja sa zase učím po anglicky. Mohla by si natocit ďalšiu časť kde ochutnávas slovenské sladkosti. Mne najviac chutia z chipsou cibuľka so smotanou alebo sladkosť je Milka s orieškom a karamelom. Si inak veľmi simpaticka.
Ďakujem 😊. Určite ešte natočím aj pokračovanie ale asi trochu neskôr , lebo už je tých nápadov trochu veľa. 😂
@@ChasingKimberly tak určite je lepšie keď je ich viac ako menej
Phillipines is an amazing country and I always wanted to visit there, but once I'll be able to travel I'd love to go there sometime :D
Also those clips, absolutely beautiful! I wanna go there even more now haha. But I'm also glad you like our country :)
YES! when you will visit Philippines, I highly recommend Coron :) Its my top! 💚
Wow, congratulations for achieving 100% wholesome community! It's rarely, I'm used to toxic people insulting eachother. Keep up the work! If you're interested in Slovak history, traditional clothes and what it was like to live in Slovakia centuries ago, I would recommend Slovak National Museum in Martin and... idk the name for it... Skrátka skanzen Martine, aj múzeum aj skanzen sú najväčšie na Slovensku, iba odporúčam :))
Thank you! I always believe that if we put positive vibes in everything we do, it will spread across to people too. I wish that is what is happening 😊😊 I will definitely check that museum! I am really keen on trying that costume Slovak girls wear. 😂
That's because this is not Novy Cas comment section 😂
@ joj keby len tam
I'm Filipino and my girlfriend is from Slovakia ☺️❤️
Moving to Bratislava in two weeks and your channel is giving me life right now!
I'm glad it helped you! Hope you will love Bratislava like I do 💚
YES!.Oh you made me smile...enjoy my beautiful country....my life has taken me from there ....I miss it dearly....I will watch your journey in your videos to get that feel of my home!..thank you ..Jana x
Thanks Jana 😊
Wow, it's incredible to hear about your experience moving from the Philippines to Slovakia! It's inspiring to see how you have embraced the beauty of Slovakia and found happiness in your new home. Your positive outlook and adventurous spirit are truly commendable. Thank you for sharing your story and showcasing the beauty of Slovakia. Wishing you continued joy and fulfillment in your new life! 🌍🇵🇭🇸🇰
Ahojky Kim ✋! Vďaka za pekné videjko 😎 Filipíny sú veľmi pekné, pre mňa je najlepšie to naše krásne Slovensko. Tiež má čo ponúknuť. Dúfam, že tento Corona ošiaľ sa čoskoro skončí a budeš môcť objaviť všetky jeho krásne miesta. ✋
Ďakujem veľmi pekne 💚💚💚. Aj ja sa už teším 😊🙋🏽♀️

I am Slovak and my Wife is from Thailand, and we are living also in Slovakia.
I hope your wife is enjoying Slovakia 😉
My sister has been to Philippines and she loved it.. She brought me a wooden nativity scene from your country and I always have it on display during Christmas time. Well, it’s still on the table, because is beautiful 😁. Thank you for your videos 😊❤️
Thank you Jana! ❤️
I live in Slovakia an I now how beautiful it is
I admire that you decided to move to Europe and Slovakia because I am from Slovakia and I feel more comfortable living abroad even If I wanna move back one day because I think the country is very nice with a lot to offer especially for the tourist but I am bit scare. Hope you will enjoy your time in Slovakia because we need more positive people in the country. Good Luck and keep making new videos.
Thank you Peter, Im glad you appreciate my videos! I am very glad about it :)
what is better abroad kamarat?
ja som po otcovej strany talian, narodený a žijúci vo francúzsku, mama bola slovenska, . mal som to jednoduchšie so slovenským jazkom, mama nás učila slovensky keď sme boli deti. Učila nás aj gramatiku, preto nemám problém so slovenským jazykom . Dnes ovládam 8 jazykov :) .. Filippini sô krásne, nikdy som tam nebol iba videl videá . Ale rád sa tam pozriem . Držím ti palce vo všetkom .. teda Vám obom
Ďakujeme pekne 😊. Ako sa ti žije vo Francúzku ? Určite sa raz pozri na Filipíny keď budeš mocť . 😉 Odporúčam Palawan. Pekný deň.
@@ChasingKimberly žijem na Korzike takže nič krajšie som si vybrať nemohol. Krásne deň aj tebe a ďakujem za tip, ak bude možnosť určite to miesto navštívim ..
Philippines is a beautiful country. I'll go there sometimes
Thank you! I am glad you think the Philippines is beautiful too! I hope you will enjoy your travel soon :)
@@ChasingKimberly Thanks
Čech alebo Slovak si :D
ahojj skus natočiť video kde rozpráváš po slovensky 💕😊a super video
Hi, i have a slovak boyfriend but im currently living in saudi arabia. We are in a ldr relationship for two years now. I want to move to slovakia pero hindi ko po alam kung paano talaga magsimula. I'm 23 years old and he is 25. Your videos give me hope. Thank you for always sharing your experience to us!
You are welcome Jasmin. I am sure your love with each other will find a way to make it work! We were also LDR in the beginning of our relationship and it all worked out fine just because we loved each other so much 💙💙
you are welcome here, just be prepaired that Slovak people (especially old ones) are pretty racists..Its better in Bratislava, tho..
Ja som Slovak zijuci v Kanade, mam tu suseda Filipinca a par dalsich znamych. Filipincov tu zije velmi vela, vacsinou dobri a mili ludia. Tak vitaj na Slovensku a nech sa Ti tam aj nadalej paci a dari!
Ďakujem pekne 💚💚💚
Perfect Slovak just so on, I'm Slovak I don't know English very well 😐. I'm very glad you have 4 or 3 videos from the Slovak flag, I really appreciate it because I'm Slovak ❤️💕
Hi Kimberly, glad you are here :) Honestly, I would love you to teach .... or better say, Slovak people should learn from you and all Phillipinos - HOW TO BE NICE to eachother, HOW TO BE POSITIVE, and HOW TO STOP STARING at people for no reason :D I am Slovak, but to be honest I really struggle to get over most of the slovak mentality :D
Thank you so much, its nice to know you appreciate my videos 😊😊 I wish to spread this positivity among everyone who is watching my videos! ☺️☺️
Can you please make a video where you'll speak a bit more slovak?😊😂
BTW I got to your videos random too, and I must say that I watched all the videos on your channel without any pause 😂😂 for about 5 hours (I was very impressed). I think it was a good time, watching the videos where you as Filipino talk about Slovakia... please keep doing this😉💙
Hello Damián, thanks a lot! I'm glad you are loving my videos. I will try to speak more Slovak in my next videos I will make, hopefully I will be able to pronounce the words correctly 😂😂
Glad you like our country.I love Philippiness ;)
Been there in 2019 in Palawan Best holiday ever!!!
Where in Palawan did you go? Coron is my favorite! :)
@@ChasingKimberly Puerto Princessa we stayed there.
Then we visit Underground river Roxas,Mendosa,and El nido was the best!!There is some videos u can check.
I have only very few subscribers but Not giving up..TC ;)
Hi, my name is Yuriy, and I’m Ukrainian living in Berlin, Germany. I’m planning to move to Slovakia for living. By the way, I’ve been to the Philippines and Manila back in 2009. And I love Balut, even when Europeans and Americans cannot eat it! Your both countries are beautiful! I would love to visit Philippines again. I’ve been to Manila, Cebu, and some other town with a ship called Doulos. It was a floating book fair. Good memories!
Hi Yuriy! glad you like Philippines. I miss it more now that you mentioned it 😂
Really your first snow? Amazing : )
Yup! I was so excited to see snow when I came here :)
I absolutely love that you said that Slovakia is the heart of Europe! Im sure you know how Slovaks hate, when they call our country eastern Europe :D Slovakia is beautiful, but living here, as a Slovak, is sometimes not perfect, and nowadays, a lot of people choose to leave the country...compared to the rest of Europe there is mafia, crazy politics, poor health system, not a very good higher education, low salaries etc.
Ive never been to Philippines, but Id love to go one day!
Edit: I absolutely love when people make videos about our country, showing the world how beautiful this piece of earth somewhere in Europe is :P
Hi Jana! Thanks for watching my video. Im glad you liked it! For me, there is no perfect place in the world where we can live and have a perfect life. Sometimes its just a matter of changing our perspective and looking at the brighter side of life. People here compare their countries to the rest of Europe, while I compare Slovakia to the Philippines and I am totally happy. I didnt have a bad life in the Philippines but i can say that the quality of life we have i Slovakia is much better and I wish people would appreciate that more 😄
@@ChasingKimberly Hi! Thanks for the reply! I completely understand 😊 But I also understand why someone might say it's a "horrible" country, and want to leave 😊 I do not think that, I actually love Slovakia, and feel very fortunate to have grown up in such a beautiful place ❤️
Why do you feel so happy for living in Slovakia? I think most Slovaks have a very negative opinion of our country and criticize it too much. There are low waiges, working conditions are poor, health care is poor and expensive (for Slovaks). I feel like the only thing we have a positive view about is our nature. At least that is my experience.
uz si odisla zo slovenska ?
❤ Thanks 🎉
Watching your videos because my gf is from Slovakia. Really appreciate your perspective on Slovakia. Would be great to get updates on the COVID restrictions situation as well.
I know most of the Slovaks doesn't care much about Philippines , but I really like Philippines and I would love to visit ❤️❤️❤️ . Thank you for your videos !
Glad you liked it! Hope you will be a le to visit Philippines someday!
Now i understand how brave you are. Leaving home and going to another country not even in same continent. Btw, Philippines look wonderful. I loved sea after my first visit, but i was in croatia and they dont have sand beach. I really want visit some sand beach :-D
maybe someday you will be able to visit Philippines too!! I will be really glad if you do, my top recommendation is Coron and Bohol 😊😊
Hallo Kim, Have a nice Day. Nice to see and hear you again.
Thank you Martin! Have a nice day too :)
Si veľmi pekná. Keď som pozerala predošlé video ❤️ išlo ti to po Slovensky veľmi dobre.🌺 Si strašne krásna ❤️
Ďakujem pekne 💚💚💚😊
I've visited Philippines once and for a few days only. I hiked the Taal Volcano and been to Mindoro island at White Beach. Road from Manila to Taal Volcano took me 9 hours and I traveled by van, boat, bus, tricycle and jeepney 🙂 I tried snorkeling at White Beach but I might be the only person who can't breathe with snorkel so it must have been very funny for my guide to watch me screaming into snorkel 😄
Roads in the Philippines are not the best, that's why it's still sucks to travel by land there. But anyways, the destination is always rewarding so I stopped complaining haha :D Sounds like you had quiet an adventure in the Philippines! :)
Thank You for this video, Kim. In these winter days it was a nice warm to watch You on Philippines.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video 😊😊
Hi Kimberly thank you for beautiful words about Slovakia, you are sweet, most of Slovak people woud like to live in Philippines, beautiful see its top, what is your favorite Disney character? I gues Little mermaid? 😁 Maj sa pekne 🙋
haha definetely the little mermaid 😂😂 but for now I have my feet in Slovakia, my fins, I left in the Philippines 😂😂
Philippines is amazing beautiful ... i love Philippino nature 😏
Thank you Tomas! :)
I was in Boracay few years ago. Really nice island. Propably after reconstruction island is no longer same as before.
Hi Kim.
You are realy good at diving! 👍🙂
Thanks Marek! It was one of my favorite hobby when I was in the PHilippines :)
Love your video’s; left Slovakia as a boy from Zilina region.when the Warsaw Pact invaded living in N Y C (Brighton beach).
There are lot of Pinay’s living here. Church I go to has a mass for Pinay’s every Sunday. Retiring soon thinking of going to Cebu,
(Peso is much better than Euro). Pinay’s, are cute too....which is cuter apple or orange?
I think Cebu is a famous destination for retirees, I think you will love it there! :) I'd go for apple :D
Fotky boli aj z Fackovskeho sedla kusok od mojhu domova ♥️👍Dufam ze si bola aj hore na Klaku✌️Paradne videjko super.
😉 Hore na Kľaku som ešte nebola ale určite raz pojdem . 🙋🏽♀️
In slovakia we dont say "i will be an hour late" we say "za 5 minút som tam" so learn this, it will be useful.
I hope you enjoy our country😊
Yes 😊
I have visited Philippines for 24 times in last 5 years and actually I would be there even now if not banned to leave australia. It is kinda easy for me since I am a Slovak living in Sydney.
I must admit that i haven't clue where exactly Phlippines is and I would probably place it somewhere in south america. All came when I was browsing internet and it showed me some ad to buy a private island. So i searched for buy a private island and it showed me some islands for sale in Palawan. Of course I checked the map and since then I know where the Philippines are :)
Since then I visited General Santos, Davao, Ozamiz, Cebu, Bohol, Bantayan, Boracay, Palawan, Siargao, Manila of course. Still have in bucket Siquijor, Camiguin, most wanted eastern Samar (must be beautiful sunrise over there) and many other places. From my 24 trips I spent most of the time in Cebu so it is like my second home there and actually I am thinking of moving there.
What I like the most about the philippines is:
weather - there is summer 300 days a year,
people - very respecful, with good manners (except for taxi drivers in Manila :D) and always smiling
prices - everything is cheap like in czechoslovakia in 1980s, well not everything, if you want some western foods that's far more expensive than in sydney (pizza, nutella, etc.), but with streetfood won't go over 5 euro per day
beaches - those in provinces are far better than Boracay, no tourists, no noise from bars, just few local people that's what I really love there
nature - you know slovakia is a landlocked country so we know things that can be seen in the Philippines only from some adventure books. Even those destinations where slovaks usually go for holidays can not offer what Philippines has because they are heavily commercialized. You have a lot of places which are not spoiled by tourism and are same like they were a hundred years ago. One have just to rent a motorbike and explore.
food - well not all, chorizo and chicken barbecue shouldn't be sweet hahaha, but otherwise food is good, lechon in cebu has no competition at all, also some seafoods which are for slovaks quite rare. and most favorite mango float and leche flan
I agree with all your points! I also dont like Manila haha :D And YES, Boracay is over rated. There are far more beautiful islands in the Philippines than Boracay!. I love Cebu, because its a big city, you can get all the necessities in life, plus its close to other unspoiled islands in the Philippines, you can just take a motorbike or ride a boat and you will be in Bohol, Leyte, Bacolod, wonderful places. Slovakia and Philippines, are totally different country. And coming from a tropical country, seeing snow for the first time and these very tall trees in the forest of Slovakia, they all look soo amazing to me!
@@ChasingKimberly another very big advantage you don't need a car there, motorbike is just enough. Cebu ... any direction you go within one or two hours you find a beach, quiet, with white sand and without annoying tourists. Bohol was good few years ago but last time I was there it is starting to look like little Boracay already. Snow is not as good as it may look to you, especially if you live outside of city, once it starts melting you will have mud everywhere. Also what I love is fruits there. People in slovakia don't know how taste real banana, pineapple or mango unless they tried some from street sellers. It's totally different taste than those they buy in supermarkets. Slovakia and Philippines are totally different in many aspects, but for me they have also many things in common. Maybe not nowadays, but I remember times when people in slovakia had very similar mentality to filipinos. Parents taught children respect towards older people, families were gathering in large numbers for christmas, christening, easter and other religious occassions. Familes were really close to each other. In Slovakia are these things vanishing. It is not like I remember it from times when I was kid. I wasn't in slovakia for 8 years, and before I spent 7 years in ireland so all together I don't live there for over 15 years and if someone ask me when I will visit slovkia I usually answer come to philippines we can meet there :D
Bohol and Cebu Islands were on schedule for last summer. And they still are on schedule at least since my girlfriend is from there. :)
Oh you will love Cebu and Bohol, they are ones of my favorite! Specially Bohol!
Never been to philipines, but i would love to. My stister was there twice and both her expirience and yours make me wanna see ot more. I was quite impressed by by your freediving. Did you attend a course/class or did it come naturaly?
Friends influenced me. And it just came naturally as I go so often to the sea and swim. I never took a proper classes, I thought I will when I was still in the Philippines but then, I moved to Slovakia already 😂
You are so cute ❤️ Thanks for comming in Slovakia, i feel so good, you're here 🌞
💚💚💚
Will you react to geography now Slovakia ?
I love, your love story 🥰
i feel the same, my husband nickname is Danko too.. but we living here in UK.. i miss slovakia, i miss the food..
Hope someday you get to visit Slovakia again! 😉
Fakt dobré video 🙂 💪
Ďakujem 😎
Good luck with studying Slovak language, I know it´s so hard for foreigners... my husband lives in Slovakia almost 3 years and doesn´t speak Slovak :)
Thanks Rebeka, great motivation is needed to be able to learn Slovak 🤣
@@ChasingKimberly Maybe you could make a comparison video about Slovak and Tagalog. Not much similarities there, but could be interesting and exotic for slovaks
Philippines is so beautiful, i really want go there. I'm from Slovakia and i tell you yes, Slovakia is really beautiful.😀
totally agree! Slovakia is such a beautiful country too ☺️
@@ChasingKimberly yes
Assuming you used only your personal photos for the video I'm suprised and gald tou visited Topoľčany (at 4:51) and liked our beautiful town hall ❤️
It was indeed a beautiful townhall! I love seeing old buildings like this and it's nice that almost every city I went in Slovakia, I see old buildings like this. 😊
Si super že si išla na Slovensko a že sa snažíš naučiť nás jazyk :)))🧡🧡
Ďakujem pekne 💚💚💚😊
Pierko :D máš pravdu. Nie každý je schopný začať sa učiť slovenčinu ako jeden z najťažších jazykov na svete 😁 a že Kim je jedna z nich... Klobúk dolu 🎩👍
Yeah, i do understand your husband. I left Slovakia 11 years ago. Live in UK,USA and now in Mexico. Yet i always hated Mexico. It just never has been my cup of tea. I am always showing your videos to my wife, cause she is really stressing out about going to back to Slovakia with me :). As a Mexican she has a hard time leaving her family behind.
I feel her. For us, its really difficult to leave family behind. I wish you guys all the best! Slovakia is not a bad country and I hope she will give it a chance 😀 All the best for you guys!
I've got a Mexican friend here in Slovakia. It seems a bit of a tough change for her but she's very happy!
This question almost comes to each person of non European mind (where is Slovakia?) even to me, I knew Slovakia as Czechoslovakia 13 years ago. :)
Because people don't have geography perhaps at school that's why and it's bit shame, it's true that our country is not big and not so important but people should know where country approximately is situated and Czechoslovakia was before 28 years so there is long time to know there are no more together like one country
@@hanselvogis7301 You can bet,but I know it.We must know it in the school
In my country almost everyone know about states it's basic things since you are young
@@dominiknovotka6817 súhlasím s Tebou Dominik ,ja si pamätám dodnes ako som sa to musel bifliť nielen kvôli škole ale ešte aj doma ma z toho preskúšavali rodičia ako aj z iných predmetov,za čo som im dodnes vďačný a považujem tieto vedomosti ako samozrejmosť a ako naozaj ,,Základné vzdelanie,, čo sa už dnes asi ako základ nepovažuje.
To aj môj Otec robil on bol Vietnamec a išiel na Slovensku
(Vadí že hovorím po slovensky?)
Áno super. Áno Vietnamská komunita je tu asi najrozšírenejšia spomedzi Aziatov. 👍🏽
@@ChasingKimberly ano
Vitaj na Slovensku. Sme radi že si tu :)
Ďakujem 💚💚💚
Sea is one of the only things i miss here tbh.
Philippenes look great , i'll try to go there sometimes if i get a chance to go on a vacation at all this year.
Sorry you have to experience Slovakia in this lockdown and stupid politics bullcrap. Im sure when all of this settles down , it will get better and as always keep it up 👍
I'm sure too, for now I have all the time to learn something new whilst this lockkdown is still in place, when it's over. I will be free like a bird traveling to every corner of Slovakia 😂😂
Jej, krásne video.^^
Ďakujem 😊🙋🏽♀️
Philippines is such a beautiful country talga. But no doubt, malaki ang glow-up if maka labas ka ng Pinas hahaha

Já si nemůžu pomoct, ale přirostl mi k srdci úsek na R1 mezi Nitrou a Banskou Bystricou ❤️🙂😂

Thank you Albert! Slovakia isnt pretty bad if I compare it to Philippines haha :D
I would still choose southeast asia over eastern europe tbh . But glad that you are enjoying Svk . Gotta make a video about High Tatras , !
Slovak is not one of the hardest languages on the world but super video 👍👍👍👍😃
Yes it is considered to be amongst the hardest.
Being an expat, I can relate to that feeling of uncertainty of living in a different country! I envy how you have adjusted to a new environment. 👏🏽🙏🏾
It's not easy, but if we are open-minded and try to enjoy life as it unfolds we will be able to do it 😊
My sister-in-law is from Palawan, Puerto Princesa City she lives in Slovakia too 😁 I love Palawan 👍 I was there 2 times.
Im filipina also living in slovakia and my sister in law is from palawan also.
Palawan is such a gem! Coron is my top :)

@@ChasingKimberly Yes I definitely will! and thank you
Been watching your videos recently and I noticed something.........
Free-diver ka pala Mrs Kimberly! Hahaha! Thats a very courageous sport. Anyways, I will be moving to Bratislava next spring year for working purposes. Is the home internet connection speed there acceptable for daily Zoom meetings? Thanks and baia con dios..
There are a lot of options when it comes to Internet connections. We used to have UPS and now O2, for both, I didnt have a serious problem so far 😉
I spent 3 months working in Makati back in 2010. Very interesting experience, unfortunately haven't seen much (just Bohol, Batangas and Taal volcano) due to work duties. Finally came back in 2016 to spend a month around taking scuba course in Moalboal, joining boat cruises in El Nido and the highlight was hiking for 2 days around Batad rice terraces. Amazing country with many hearty people. Learned interesting phrases like "ang mahal naman", "hindi ko naintindihan" and some swear words of course :) The down side was back in 2010 there was a man shot on the street in front of the office on my first day, a month prior my arrival a bus of Chinese tourists was taken by terrorists and generally people advised to stay away of South like Mindanao. Not sure if Duterte made that region a bit safer, haven't followed up since.
Sounds you had a lot of experiences with the Philippines already! And it's nice you have learned some Tagalog phrases, we really when foreigners try to speak tagalog to us! It is soo fun 😊 Philippines has a lot of challenges in the past and for sure will have more in the future, but I am wishing all the best for my country!
