Moving to 🇵🇭 Manila, Philippines? Back to BGC (4 flights in 2 days)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ค. 2024
- For the past ten weeks, our travels have been limited to a few short trips around the U.S. Why… isn’t really important, but we’re about to kick off a crazy few final months of 2023 and it starts with a marathon journey that starts in Denver, Colorado and takes us back to the capital of the Philippines - but over the course of two full days of airports, lounges, hotels, and taxis. This marks the beginning of a new hybrid home base setup that will take us back and forth almost every month between Denver and Manila so that we can branch out to explore even more countries around the world in the coming year.

ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.
Filipino parents and teachers should recommend this channel to the kids.
✓this is child-friendly. No unnecessary slang and 'PG' words.
✓very educational
✓proper English. We are not native English speakers and this is the perfect venue to learn 'academic English'. Most Filipinos still learn english not from their homes but from the schools as part of the curriculum.
Just enjoy and adjust to a new culture. No complaints. Your kids are well adjusted. I commend both of you.
The timing couldn't be more perfect! Christmas and New Years in the Philippines is next level!
Yay! We are going to experience so much of it :)
Pinoys really appreciate when foreign visitors appreciate our country. Welcome back
Thank you for coming back in our Country. More blessed days ahead ❤❤❤
One of my favourite family vloggers is Always Be Changing. Welcome back to Manila; your second home away from home. Enjoy, have fun and be safe!
Thank you! 😃 we’re so happy to be here and always look forward to coming back. We feel so at home here.
My partner and I absolutely love your vlogs. And when we learned that you're planning to have a 2nd base in the Philippines, we were beyond thrilled! And, I also work at BGC! Hope to bump into you guys soon ❤
If you do see us, please say hi. We’d love to meet you 😊
We really appreciate your family coming back in the Philippines to highlight diverse beauty & culture of our place thru your blogs. Enjoy your vacation, and hope more foreigners will be coming to visit us...
We wish that too. We’ll be exploring more places while we’re here.
Thank you for choosing the Philippines. May you be rewarded with warm smiles, amazing sights, fun and life-enriching memories, and great food. God speed.
✅✅✅
my heart if filled with joy. So happy seeing you guys back to my beloved country... watching from Vietnam (OFW)
Been a fan of you guys since your first Philippines video (I live in Canada). Now I'm watching this while vacationing in the Philippines 😂😂
Awesome! Thanks for watching us from so early on 😊
What part of the country are you in?
@@AlwaysBeChanging
Ballesteros! As far north as you can get 😅😅
Been watching your vlogs for a year already. I am from the Philippines but now living in Maryland. Glad you love the Philippines. BGC is beautiful. Can't wait to return to my first home next year. All the best ABC.
Thanks! Thanks for following us this year. We look forward to more and more experiences here 😊
No skipping ads for this lovely family 💙 Welcome to your future 2nd home 🇵🇭 Fyi…US Embassy here is top notch 🇺🇸 The Filipino employees are incredible and very helpful starting with the security guards and the staffs. It took 3 weeks for my passport renewal. I paid $130 for the big book. It’s the same price and size as regular passport. However it’s very thick with a million pages (joke) 😂 Enjoy your BER months in the 🇵🇭
I believe it! EVERYONE we meet is so welcoming and friendly. And it’s been easy to navigate everywhere
Welcome home! So happy to see you again in the Philippines! Can’t wait to home next year to spend quality time with my family in there!
That will so great for you. Happy for you 🤗
Welcome to the Philippines! Enjoy the warm and hospitality of every Filipino.
Thank you 🤗
Welcome back to the Philippines, Lockwoods! Glad to know you're here for the BER months and experience Christmas season here. Although it's going to be a bit of a challenge since it's also the rainy season. Anyhow, enjoy your stay and hope to bump into you around BGC while you're here; I just live nearby. 😊
If you see us, say hi. We’d love to meet you 👋
I have been watching your vlog from Florida for sometime now. It must have been a big decision to do what you’re doing as most matured prefer to settle in comfort and yet you’re going on adventures - with your kids. That takes guts. Really impressed.
Oh man, we really appreciate that. It’s a big leap that has been worth it.
@@AlwaysBeChanging You'll love it there in the Philippines, except for the heat (well, it's also hot in Florida) and traffic.
the experience that you give your viewer is electrictrifying. Enjoy condo shopping and enjoy the Philippines some more! welcome home 2nd home I mean...

Thank you so much for the lovely comments about the condo. This family has been amazing guests, they are as nice in their videos as they are in real.
Colt you are absolutely right, i totally ignored that I had a sofa bed and it has never been used 😂😂😂
I got absolutely shocked when I found out. Thank you so much, I never knew about it 😂
If anyone is interested in the Airbnb link, it's in their description and there is a video on my channel.
Have a wonderful stay in BGC ❤
We had a great week in the condo! We were within walking distance of everything, and it was the perfect spot to return to every night after exploring the city. Thank you so much for hosting us!
@@AlwaysBeChanging Most welcome. Glad you enjoyed!
So happy to see you are back and the Philippines 🙏🥰🇵🇭 stay safe always beautiful family. Looking forward to your next vlog ❤
Thank you! 🤗
I'm glad you came back to my motherland. May you have the best of everything while exploring my humble country, the Philippines. God bless with your journeys here. Stay safe and be well.😍
Thank you 🙏 we have such a warm welcome 🤗
Happy for you guys to be back in the Philippines. I absolutely adore this family. Enjoy your vacation.
Thank you. We adore you too! 🤗
Thank you guys for choosing Philippines as your temporary home in South East Asia. Good luck.
Our pleasure! We feel at home here 🤩
Glad you're back in the Philippines. There are so many places to explore and not only that we have neighboring countries you can go to like Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Brunei, Indonesia and even Australia can take you only 8 hours flight.
All The Country That you Mentioned They Already Been There and Have All The Videos For It Except Australia And Brunie…. ✌️✌️✌️
We are going to visit Malaysia on this trip. So excited for it!
Wow! You really have been following along. All except Taiwan, Australia and we visit Malaysia on this trip.
Welcome back! We missed you guys! Looking forward to more philippines vlogs
Welcome back to Philippines ! Enjoy your vacation in the land of the smiles
Thank you. Loving our stay so far 😊
Love your family and the positive energy you guys bring to your vlogs!
I am A Filipino who lived in Los Angeles for 31 years and now semi retired staying at our house in Quezon City.
Makes sense for your family to make BGC as your second home base. Flying out of Manila to other Asian countries is so much cheaper.
I have a friend from Los Angeles who is visiting me and after Oslob we are flying out of Cebu to Singapore for only $60 one way! Can't beat that!
All the best to you guys and I will continue following your videos!
Enjoy the holidays in Manila!!
Hey guys, we went to Waikiki a few weeks ago and got Starbucks at the first Marriott you guys went to so that's cool we just missed you lol. Happy for you guys to enjoy BGC and bond with MOM DUTY!!! We love all your videos with them as well. Have fun, build memories!!!
We’re bonding with MomDuty right now 🤗 I wish we stayed at that first Marriott, so much nicer than where we ended up.
@@AlwaysBeChanging Yes, it was nice but that’s ok you guys were only there for a quick stop. Say hi to MOM DUTY for me! Have fun!!!
Flying back and forth between US and Philippines will be much easier for you guys as United is launching a direct SFO to MNL flight by end of Oct. Very good for your Premier 1K status.
Can’t wait for that!
Wow, what a pleasant surprise it was to hear that you stopped over Guam! …. makes complete sense haha. I’m a born & raised Guamanian. So take my word! you all should definitely come up back to explore this small, but beautiful island. Tons to see and experience, could be done within a week or less!
As for passport renewal here, be sure to head to the DMV and queue up early. The earlier, the better.
Congratulations on your move to the PI! Hope you guys are settling in well ❤
Thank you 😊
I feel like Guam is near in our future!
You’re absolutely welcome!
I’m glad to hear that. Will be patiently waiting to see a Guam vid notification haha 🙌🏻
Welcome back to the Philippines😍
Can’t wait for the next vlog!!
Thank you!! 😊 hopefully soon in the next couple days
I really love the airport hopping 😅❤ looking forward to more adventures 🎉
Thanks! More coming soon 🤗
I absolutely adore this family!
Aww thanks 🥰 we adore you too.
Welcome back to my country Philippines 🇵🇭💖 I'm OFWJORDAN 🇯🇴 watching here ❤
Thank you for watching us across the world! 🙏🤗
I feel your effort in travelling.. that's why i dont skip ads 🎉😊
You're the best! 🤩
Love seeing the travels continue! Just got back from my Southeast Asia (Taiwan, Philippines, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia) and Japan trip. First time driving on the left side in Japan😅- I recommend it for the experience and the BEAUTIFUL VIEWS (compared to using the train exclusively). If you ever come back there, I think you'll love Hiroshima.
Those sound like amazing trips! 🫶
So happy for your family! We appreciate you liking and feeling at home in the Phils. We hope you like it more this time Phils. can offer. We treasure tourists like you. God bless!❤😊❤😊❤😊
Thanks! We can’t wait to see what lies ahead for us.
Love Your Family Travel Vlogs! God Bless You All ! Take care & Enjoy!
Thanks so much! 🤗🥰
With all the admirable things about your family and channel, I'm impressed with how you navigate through all those rewards programs... and then you get all these extra perks... and those lounges look like a cool place to spend the day, even haha. Blessings forever, Indian.
Thank you so much! Hello 👋 I’m India!
Hello!! Even with our experience, I think we’re barely scratching the surface. So many jacks that we’re surely not taking advantage of yet. Hope you’re doing well 🤗
About time fam!!! We’ve been waiting for you guys FOREVER! Welcome back besties! Time to party!!!!!🥳😭
Partying with YOU! What do you think, should we move here? 🤔
It's lovely to know that you are back in the Philippines.... mabuhay regards from 🇬🇧
We love coming back here. Already feels like a second home.
United Airlines will soon be launching a nonstop SFO-MNL flight daily starting at the end of October FYI! From one United hub to another (DEN - SFO) would make it more convenient to get to MNL.
Yes! Can’t wait for that route. This travel day/days was way too long!
Welcome back 🇵🇭🇦🇺👏🥰🥳 keep safe n enjoy thanks for choosing Philippines 🇵🇭 ur 2nd hub 🥳❤
