I can't wait to get back and I'm hoping to retire in the Philippines in the near future. It's such a beautiful place with the friendliest people on the planet.
Same as the guy from scotland, he asked you're filipinos. I said yeah. He said hes been to Philippines three times. He said next time he comes back, its a one way ticket. I said good luck, its a good place to retire.
I discovered your channel a month ago when I started planning my trip to Thailand and Vietnam this August. Glad to see you're in the Philippines now. The country where I grew up. Enjoy your stay! Cheers from Italy!
Hi guys…. My wife and I love your videos ( I’m Aussie, she’s a Filipina). My favourite island is Siquijor…it’s very beautiful and very slow paced, not very touristy at all. Great if you love diving and a really great place to to not do much other than soak in the island lifestyle. Siargao is also a beautiful island it reminds me of Bali 30 years ago ( I’m old 😀). It was hit by a typhoon at the beginning of the year but has just about completely recovered ( I’m sure they’d love tourists to come back)…I definitely wouldnt miss visiting this place, it’s fantastic. Boracay is another nice place but quite touristy last time I was there. Some other lesser known islands that are beautiful = Camiguin, Samal, Bantayan ( all recommended). How good are the Filipino people, so happy and friendly! Enjoy your time there. KT
100% agreed to that.. Siquijor very beautiful underrated island. Siargao was my favorite island in the Philippines before the typhoon, hopefully they will recover to 100% soon.
The Philippines imho is the most beautiful country in Asia and the most diverse. From the countless stunning beaches to the verdant, picturesque countrysides to the bustling modern cities but you know what, I’d say the people are best kept treasure- the friendliest, the fun-loving, the most accommodating and welcoming. They are always happy and smiling despite of the adversity and problems they face everyday. They will go out of their way to help you if you need it. I’m coming to the Philippines once I finished my studies and I’ll be vlogging instead lol Great decision; you guys!
I love ❣️ Philippines I miss Philippines, people are always smiling and freindly, they like help people when they asked for directions, get lost because first time to visit Philippines, compared here in USA they just ignored you and moved on that's all I have to say....
My wife is a Filipina, we currently live in Canada, thinking of moving to the Philippines, El Nido is at the top of our list, at least a place to start out after moving
Make sure to Plan out Ways to have a home that won’t give in if Typhoon comes/ also Internet wise it’s still relatively not great so it would be good to try and set up with either Elon musks Internet company or other
@@eduardochavacano true, But once they have money or retire they move back to the Philippines, if you’re young and you need to make money, you definitely need to leave the Philippines
Whenever a foreign vlogger, new to Philippines, asks for suggestions for places to go in the Philippines, it just makes me laugh a little bit because of 3 things; FIRST is, you really don't have to ask, and you'll know why when you read your comments. But since you asked for it, get ready because there'll be a lot, and they may keep on coming for even after a year. SECOND is because, when you do start traveling the Philippines, you will also start to realize that asking for suggestions for the entire Phl. is ridiculous, unless you have so much time. THIRD is, you have no idea that a single province, or municipality or district, or town in Philippines can have a lot of hidden gems, unseen on tv or youtube, and sometimes even unknown to some of the very locals. You may think that I could just be exaggerating, maybe I am, but you can find that out by yourselves when you start traveling and exploring. What I would recommend though is that you ask for suggestions for what places to go see or visit, or the things you can do ONLY in the province or city or district or somewhere close by where you are at currently, then do the same on the next province you want to explore, or better yet, ask in the local barangay offices, and you might even get the best tour guide.
I agree u have the most sensible and intelligent comment here it makes no sense asking as u will get so many different answers just go there and work your way around and do what the locals do. So many kanos here suggested this and that they have no clue. Also I don’t like pinoybaiters which most puti kanos vloggers are doing just to make a quick buck on their Adsense. Stay out of here if u are doing that and making it happen is the worst offenders they don’t pay bir taxes
I agree with you too. When you ask recommendations especially foods many will suggest almost the same answers and I’m a filipina and it really annoys me seeing and reading the same comments. Just go and explore or search the web places to visit or stay in the Philippines also ask locals you can find lots of info from them.

@@roninbushito lol, hindi pinoy click bait ang make it happen, nakapag aral na si mike dito sa pinas, motovlog around luzon and visayas , mag puput up pa ng business dito. they are not typical vloggers na kukuha ng pinoy subs then aalis na ng bansa.
@@roninbushito galit na galit sa mga foreign vloggers ah. So what kung clickbait sila. Masyado kasi kayong uto uto at sobrang prideful at proud, gustong gusto nyo pinupuri kayo. Pathetic. 😂
@@axizcorp "so what if click bait sila" right. they make money off of Pinoy views, Pinoys like you na kulang sa attention at nagmamakaawa ng attention from foreigners. ikaw tong uto uto na nakakita lang ng PH flag sa title at narinig lang ang Pinas eh grabe ang pride. these kinds of vloggers feed off your egos but have very little care for you.
A few countries in the region can offer similar amazing sights, beaches, weather, cities, and FOOD! But the one thing the Philippines has over all of them is virtually no language barrier. Most everything is in English, it's taught in the schools and there are 100's of Filipino dialects, the most prominent are Tagalog, Illocano and Visayan. But all of them will be sure to know some or fluent English. Friendly, helpful and talkative people, and not camera shy! Wish you were there during the good weather months....this is the rainy season lol
Hi Guys!! Love yours videos!! I have been in the Philippines 3 times, including a 8 months stay in Siargao Island of 8 months during the pandemic .. Here is my recomendation!! Siquijor, Bohol, Cebu, Coron, Palawan , there ae plenty of islands to visit in the Philipines , Good Luck !! Enjoy!!!
Since you are in El Nido, try visiting Coron too. Then go back to Palawan as there are a lot of beaches there. You should never miss those places. Then go to Boracay, Cebu, Bohol, etc.
Good choice. Top introduction video to the Philippines guys. Watch the subs go through the roof. Within a whisker (or should I say fart :))))) of 40K Onwards and upwards to 100K by November. Stay safe and have fun and be aware of the typhoon season ie. check the forecast before venturing. Probably goes without saying but still. Keeping up with currency changes and therefore costs must be a challenge. The big bonus with the locals is the sheer numbers that speak English which will make life easier for sure. Have fun and take care both of you. 😀
Lloyd is right about the must try food in the Philippines. Roast Pork called Lechon. Try it as much as you can 😁 I love Sisig as well and Adobo is popular. Halo-Halo for desert You've already had Balut but when in Rome, you'll have to have it again LOL Jollibee is a huge fast food chain in the Philippines. Like McDonalds in Australia etc. The spaghetti seems to be the go too but of course you have to try the chicken I'll get to Philippines one day and swim with the Whale Sharks is Oslob (Cebu) Can't wait for the next vid
Welcome to the philippines. Pls try our filipino dish. 1.Bulalo-slow cook beef soup with corn,cabagge,string beans. 2.adobo it can be chicken or pork Cook in soy and venigar with some spicies. 3.sinigang it can be fish pirk or beef It a sour base soup with some other vegetables 4.siziling sisig 5.Lechon-the best lechon is in Cebu 6.beef kaldereta-slow cook beef with tomato sauce,potato,carrots,bell pepper and some spicies. 7.Lumpia/shanghai rolls it can be vegetable or pork wrap in rice warapper and deep fried. Well thats for now,ask around and you can fine the best dishes in every region.enjoy your stay here in the philippines.🤣
Love that you’re in the Philippines! I’ve been watching your channel since you were in Vietnam. As for popular dishes, adobo (meat, seafood or veggies) is one of them. It’s based on soy, vinegar, black peppercorn and bay leaves. Fresh lumpia filled with veggies id a healthy options as well as many different pancits (noodle dishes). Tagaytay, La Union in the north and Bicol region, Bohol and Siargao for destinations
The Philippines looks amazing, I've never been there. This video makes me want to visit the Philippines. I always go to Bali and use that as my base location and travel to other SE Asia countries, but it gets more expensive every visit due to Bali being an Island. I often thought of taking less luggage and just becoming nomadic for a while. I like what you two are doing, just free flow like the water.
Try to go to city of Cebu where you can do a lot of adventurous things like canyoneering, swimming with millions of sardines and big sea turtles, swimming with the whale sharks, good food etc. So much to see. A lot of vloggers go here. If you like the mountain areas go to Baguio City. It's a mountain city where you will see the rice terraces . Always a cool area. Fresh abundance of fruits and vegetables. Siargao Island is where most of the foreigners settled because of the surfing areas.
Hi Lloyd & Mandy or rather mates, first of all welcome to the realm of Philippines and you must endure the traffic, humidity, hot weather but this time of the year its the rainy stormy season, the flood, the storms, the smog but you are going to enjoy the new PARADISE in your life! You have not visited much of the country but better visit the North and most Southern part of the country. Siargao, Palawan, Cebu but a spare some time go visit Manila BGC, Try Buko Pie, Adobo, street foods and many local favs! Thanks for the visit! 🥰
I'm sure you will really enjoy many parts of the Philippines El Nido was one of my favourites I lived in various places for 3 years, checkout (Cloud 9) Siargao Island my son and his wife currently live there permanently another piece of paradise with great surf.
Hi Lloyd and Mandy, welcome to our country. Enjoy 🙂. Hope you still remember us, it's Jenny and Boyet of Paradise Cruise. Halong Bay. You take care always.🙂😍
Adobo(various meats sautéed in soy sauce, spices, and vinegar), pancit(various types of noodles w/ meat, seafood, and/or veggies), sinigang(sour soup filled w/ veggies and seafood or various types of meats), and lumpia(various types of Filipino spring roll, most are fried with veggies and/or meat) are probably the most common dishes there. Various street foods and sticky rice desserts are also very common there.
Try to make an assessment of a place after sometime there. All of expats that relocated out of Philippines never feel safe leaving the valuable belongings in the hotels or their houses compared to other countries in Asia. Have fun and stay safe.
Welcome to The Philippines, guys! Enjoy your stay! Just subscribed. 👍 Btw...to make your stay even more fun, don't hesitate to interact with the locals. They are friendly and can be really helpful, if you ever find yourself needing help. Take care and stay safe!
I think El Nido is the more expensive option. Consider Cebu (get city and island life at the same time), Boracay (as expensive as El Nido but more options), Coron, Siargao, Bohol. Yes we are the Latinos of Asia. We are Asians, with Spanish names, and speak English.
G'day Lloyd and Mandy....great to see that you've arrived in the Philippines safe and sound. Unfortunately I know I'll never visit the Philippines let alone El Nido, but it certainly looks like an ideal place to unwind after your hectic schedule over the past months. Enjoy your time there...Cheers Gaz(WA)😎 PS over the next few days I'll check out your Philippine's Escape Society Podcast...
Our country is called "pearl of the ocean" if you want to explore 1,700 islands in the Philippines you will never know what to expect because of its natural beauty and amazing clarity of ocean water...im new fan of your million fans here...
Hi guys, feel at home in PH, you are so welcome here. Don't worry about accommodation, its cheaper than any other country. Our 1 peso is like 50plus dollar? so enjoy your stay and pls consider our extreme country... there are clean and dirty areas, we have concrete jungle cities, we also have the slums, we have expensive and cheap products...choose... hope you enjoy the decisions you make.
I'm planning a trip there next February. El Nido, Coron and Cebu are the places I want to visit. I'm really looking forward to the Kawasan canyoneering in Badian, Cebu. El Nido and Coron may be the places I decide to retire at. So beautiful. Thanks for the vlog
Hi guys Welcome to the Philippines ! Top 5 Islands 1. Siargao 2. El Nido 3. Bantayan island Cebu 4. Boracay 5. Siquijor Mountains , Rice terraces, waterfallls etc. 1. Sagada 2, Banaue 3. Batad

MABUHAY!!!!😁👍👍👍🇵🇭❤️...
I’m a supporter of your channel, and you guys are awesome, so please don’t think I’m attacking you…I’m not. But that being said: click-baity titles aren’t your style. You haven’t ‘moved’ to Philippines…it’s another country you are visiting. Please don’t cheapen your ethics for hits, views or likes. Saying something like ‘We’ve moved ON to The Philippines” would be more truthful…and suit more of your vibe. Keep up the good work, otherwise…and man, that place is stunning! I love your channel. Signed, a fellow Canadian travel junkie.
Please don't follow the trend of 90% of digital nomads with the click bait.. guessing coming up with new ideas is tough yet the click bait will have viewers leave . Not trying to be offensive just my opinion. So many travel vloggers run out of creative contact. Maybe try and keep it a bit different. Check out " lost boys" based out of indo. They are doing it right and killing the niche. Enjoy Phillipines
@@LuvMyLilBabe really? Caring about the content of a channel I respect and enjoy makes me a Karen? I’m guessing the way of thinking is that, by having us even posting and TALKING about the issue of the false title, they are creating traffic, and comments etc. But that will eventually backfire on them. I just left Cash Jordan’s NYC apartment channel after years of loyalty cause he is pulling the same bullshit. One of the things I like about Mandy+ Lloyd’s channel is their maturity and grace. And that they are factually and not over-dramatic. Once they start using ‘tricks’ of kid vloggers, I’m gone. Which means means one less sub, and many less LIKES and comments. And I suspect others will follow suit. Love Always Karen
greetings from mount batur, hopefully what you dream about is glorious,,, you are very kind and smiling, informative... thanks for everything,, very helpful
HI & HELLO!!!!! LLYOD & MANDY. PORK SINIGANG IS A MUST TRY FILIPINO DISH. I'M SURE YOU WILL ENJOY YOUR STAY IN THE BEAUTIFUL PHILLIPINES. 👋👋👋🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👍✌️👌
Hello guyS, i was recently watching your video in thailand because i got to thailand just few days ago... Now, you are in my own country philippines..☺️ Have fun guys..
Hello first time subscriber on your channel. I would suggest that you try first other islands like maybe siargao? Before making your final decision on where to permanently stay.
Welcome to the Philippines. A lot of vloggers have made Philippines their main base. You can watch " Becoming Filipino" Kyle is canadian, " FinnSnow" is from iceland, " Making it Happen" Mike and Nelly are from Austria, " 8 miles from Home" their from the UK and Emy and Johan are from Swiss I think.
Besides Kyle those other vloggers are terrible they are pinoybaiters making it happen are the worst offenders. I’m pinoy and they should be banned they don’t pay bir taxes
The sea water in Palawan is so calm very friendly, very clean, wow! No doubt, the Palawan island of Philippines was voted as "The Best Island in the World".
Hi guys from Tweed Heads..Siargao Is is my favourite..Best Place to eat in Manila is Hott Asia Bazzar in Makati. Corner of Makati Ave and General luna. I always stay Makati.

God bless you sir for appreciating us 😊❤
@@sacmarcela1973 thanks and it’s because you all make it so easy to appreciate you guys 😁
Same as the guy from scotland, he asked you're filipinos. I said yeah. He said hes been to Philippines three times. He said next time he comes back, its a one way ticket. I said good luck, its a good place to retire.

Hi guys…. My wife and I love your videos ( I’m Aussie, she’s a Filipina). My favourite island is Siquijor…it’s very beautiful and very slow paced, not very touristy at all. Great if you love diving and a really great place to to not do much other than soak in the island lifestyle.
Siargao is also a beautiful island it reminds me of Bali 30 years ago ( I’m old 😀). It was hit by a typhoon at the beginning of the year but has just about completely recovered ( I’m sure they’d love tourists to come back)…I definitely wouldnt miss visiting this place, it’s fantastic.
Boracay is another nice place but quite touristy last time I was there.
Some other lesser known islands that are beautiful = Camiguin, Samal, Bantayan ( all recommended).
How good are the Filipino people, so happy and friendly!
Enjoy your time there.
KT
100% agreed to that.. Siquijor very beautiful underrated island. Siargao was my favorite island in the Philippines before the typhoon, hopefully they will recover to 100% soon.
Yes Siquijor is lovely. I watched another vlogger Will and Jose visit there. Not many go there so it was nice to see. They did about 4 videos there.
100 💯 agreed.. i would just add moalboal for diving and because of the canyoneering adventure at kawasan falls... 😉

Hi Lloyd & Mandy or rather mates, first of all welcome to the realm of Philippines and you must endure the traffic, humidity, hot weather but this time of the year its the rainy stormy season, the flood, the storms, the smog but you are going to enjoy the new PARADISE in your life!
You have not visited much of the country but better visit the North and most Southern part of the country. Siargao, Palawan, Cebu but a spare some time go visit Manila BGC, Try Buko Pie, Adobo, street foods and many local favs! Thanks for the visit! 🥰
🥰 Takecare and Godbless 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Filipinos are definitely the friendliest people I’ve ever met!!

I'm sure you will really enjoy many parts of the Philippines El Nido was one of my favourites I lived in various places for 3 years, checkout (Cloud 9) Siargao Island my son and his wife currently live there permanently another piece of paradise with great surf.

Woww..Filipina-Spanish here watching..welcome to our beautiful country..i luv this video .
Hi Lloyd and Mandy, welcome to our country. Enjoy 🙂. Hope you still remember us, it's Jenny and Boyet of Paradise Cruise. Halong Bay. You take care always.🙂😍
Welcome to the Philippines! It’s More Fun In The Philippines! Enjoy.
Adobo(various meats sautéed in soy sauce, spices, and vinegar), pancit(various types of noodles w/ meat, seafood, and/or veggies), sinigang(sour soup filled w/ veggies and seafood or various types of meats), and lumpia(various types of Filipino spring roll, most are fried with veggies and/or meat) are probably the most common dishes there. Various street foods and sticky rice desserts are also very common there.
Finally, welcome to the Philippines guys! Enjoy your stay here.
Try to make an assessment of a place after sometime there. All of expats that relocated out of Philippines never feel safe leaving the valuable belongings in the hotels or their houses compared to other countries in Asia. Have fun and stay safe.
excellence video, I still remember the days of being soaking wet from field training exercises during the monsoon rains in the Philippines
Welcome to The Philippines, guys! Enjoy your stay! Just subscribed. 👍 Btw...to make your stay even more fun, don't hesitate to interact with the locals. They are friendly and can be really helpful, if you ever find yourself needing help. Take care and stay safe!
You two are always so positive and happy , thanks for the great videos 👍🏼
This made me more even wanting to see El nido fast enough . You made it looks so nicer . Glad you love Philippines
I think El Nido is the more expensive option. Consider Cebu (get city and island life at the same time), Boracay (as expensive as El Nido but more options), Coron, Siargao, Bohol.
Yes we are the Latinos of Asia. We are Asians, with Spanish names, and speak English.
Have fun guys!
New subscriber here watching from Israel 🇮🇱 but originally from the Philippines 🇵🇭 . Enjoy your travel guys, keep safe and Mabuhay!

Thanks for recording your journey
G'day Lloyd and Mandy....great to see that you've arrived in the Philippines safe and sound. Unfortunately I know I'll never visit the Philippines let alone El Nido, but it certainly looks like an ideal place to unwind after your hectic schedule over the past months. Enjoy your time there...Cheers Gaz(WA)😎
PS over the next few days I'll check out your Philippine's Escape Society Podcast...
Our country is called "pearl of the ocean" if you want to explore 1,700 islands in the Philippines you will never know what to expect because of its natural beauty and amazing clarity of ocean water...im new fan of your million fans here...
PH is known as the Pearl Of The Orient Seas, has 7641 islands
Another great video
Thank you for choosing us and enjoy your journey subscribed!👍🇵🇭😘
Hi guys, feel at home in PH, you are so welcome here. Don't worry about accommodation, its cheaper than any other country. Our 1 peso is like 50plus dollar? so enjoy your stay and pls consider our extreme country... there are clean and dirty areas, we have concrete jungle cities, we also have the slums, we have expensive and cheap products...choose... hope you enjoy the decisions you make.
Takecare and Godbless 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I'm planning a trip there next February. El Nido, Coron and Cebu are the places I want to visit. I'm really looking forward to the Kawasan canyoneering in Badian, Cebu. El Nido and Coron may be the places I decide to retire at. So beautiful. Thanks for the vlog

I'm Italian merry to a Philippina resident in Los Angeles heeeee heee we started going back to the Philippines a few years a go and I really enjoyed, many part of the country are poor but there is also a lots of wealth, now we purchase a nice place in Bonifacio Global City that is close to the Airport so that we can hop in a plane and go to the Island, people in the Philippines are just a world treasure they always have a smile and positive, enjoy the place, go to the Pizza place right in downtown, they are pretty good, do you notice a lots of those constructions guys working with slippers no protections with happens and steel material on the floor, they are crazy, makes me want yo get them protective shoe for everybody

WELCOME to our country 👍❤️❤️❤️
While in El Nido, take advantage of the landscape views guys, do the Canopy Walk, and take a hike up the limestone cliffs with a guide to a rewarding view of the neighboring islands as well, also go to Las Cabanas for the best Sunsets, also take a day trip via scooter to Nacpan Beach ( 25 mins from El Nido ) the best 4 kilometer long pure white beach you will ever see, if you want to stay overnight, there is "Glamping" ( glamorous camping ) available. Also go to Balabac Island, and a tiny beach town of Port Barton. Enjoy!
The country where I was born, Philippines🇵🇭
Hope you enjoy this country. If you have a chance, Try to visit the "Enchanted River" in Surigao Del Sur. I heard that it was so beautiful and it's not popular among tourist.
welcome to the Philippines, just subscribed !! Dont leave El Nido without doing an island tour, its a must see, so beautiful and stunning islands and lagoons. Make sure you choose a sunny day for it. Also check out Nacpan beach as well as Duli beach , gorgeous beaches on El Nido!!!

I’m a supporter of your channel, and you guys are awesome, so please don’t think I’m attacking you…I’m not. But that being said: click-baity titles aren’t your style. You haven’t ‘moved’ to Philippines…it’s another country you are visiting. Please don’t cheapen your ethics for hits, views or likes. Saying something like ‘We’ve moved ON to The Philippines” would be more truthful…and suit more of your vibe.
Keep up the good work, otherwise…and man, that place is stunning! I love your channel. Signed, a fellow Canadian travel junkie.
Agreed.
Totally agreed. Click bait. You guys are better then that.
Please don't follow the trend of 90% of digital nomads with the click bait.. guessing coming up with new ideas is tough yet the click bait will have viewers leave . Not trying to be offensive just my opinion. So many travel vloggers run out of creative contact. Maybe try and keep it a bit different. Check out " lost boys" based out of indo. They are doing it right and killing the niche. Enjoy Phillipines
watch out there's Karen everywhere 😂
@@LuvMyLilBabe really? Caring about the content of a channel I respect and enjoy makes me a Karen?
I’m guessing the way of thinking is that, by having us even posting and TALKING about the issue of the false title, they are creating traffic, and comments etc. But that will eventually backfire on them. I just left Cash Jordan’s NYC apartment channel after years of loyalty cause he is pulling the same bullshit. One of the things I like about Mandy+ Lloyd’s channel is their maturity and grace. And that they are factually and not over-dramatic. Once they start using ‘tricks’ of kid vloggers, I’m gone. Which means means one less sub, and many less LIKES and comments. And I suspect others will follow suit.
Love Always
Karen
everyone is welcome to Coron Palawan ❤️

welcome to the Philippines!
I can't wait to see more of your amazing videos! Glad that Lloyd feels better. The fart part cracks me up 😂
Hello first time subscriber on your channel. I would suggest that you try first other islands like maybe siargao? Before making your final decision on where to permanently stay.
Philippine pineapples are the best - the aroma and sweetness (and sourness) are incomparable!
New subscriber here! Watched 2 of your videos so far.. more to come!
Welcome to the Philippines. A lot of vloggers have made Philippines their main base. You can watch " Becoming Filipino" Kyle is canadian, " FinnSnow" is from iceland, " Making it Happen" Mike and Nelly are from Austria, " 8 miles from Home" their from the UK and Emy and Johan are from Swiss I think.
Besides Kyle those other vloggers are terrible they are pinoybaiters making it happen are the worst offenders. I’m pinoy and they should be banned they don’t pay bir taxes
The sea water in Palawan is so calm very friendly, very clean, wow! No doubt, the Palawan island of Philippines was voted as "The Best Island in the World".
Hi guys from Tweed Heads..Siargao Is is my favourite..Best Place to eat in Manila is Hott Asia Bazzar in Makati. Corner of Makati Ave and General luna. I always stay Makati.
Welcome to the Philippines
Enjoy your stay !
