Great vid! My move to the ph's is getting ever closer, and the info greatly appreciated. Malaybalay is my #1 pick so far for a new home. Thank you Nate!
I'm glad you turned me on to them. I've probably gone back 4 or 5 times since then. Lol. What was the name of the car rental place you used? Do you remember?
@@expatlifestyle2000 I didn't rent a car , too expensive and sadly no scooter for rent there. Actually that's the main reason I didn't stay longer, found it difficult to travel around the area to search for land for sale. Keep up the good work on the vlogging it's really good content and highly appreciate the effort it takes to produce. Interested to see where you head down the path next 😁
Scotty (Regular Guy) said there’s 5 hospitals in MALAYBALAY. Making a video on access to healthcare there would be very helpful to many of us and would probably get good views over time cause every travel eventually gets sick. Just a suggestion. Love your channel, bro. Great info! Keep it up! Thank you!!
I've been collecting videos of the pizza places for 2 months now. I love pizza so much you would think I was a ninja turtle...instead I'm just fat. 🤣 😂
Another winner Nate..... So as compared to say Iloilo City, because you did an extended stay there as well, what are your thoughts ? Apartment costs, food, culture, activities, weather..... Stuff like that... Like someone else mentioned, your work for the PI tourism bureau is outstanding..😂😂
I really like the variety of hotels in Malaybalay! Has more variety than anywhere in the US. I get a real kick from the ones with the Bucket shower and Air Con or just a Fan at best! But You cant beat the Price anywhere! I like the ones with the windows and balcony. Malaybalay will always be my Paradise for sure.👍
Hello Nate, great and informative video, thank you Sir. I tried to reply to another commentor re a mutual interest in gardening, growing tomatoes, on another bit older video, my reply kept getting removed by this platform for some reason. Hopefully he sees this and realises I was not ignoring him. Look forward to your eatery video, great stuff, thanks again. God Bless and take care👍👍
Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully he does. I'll hopefully be able to feature some of the farming over the next few months. I have quite alot of plans in the works. Bless you too.
@@expatlifestyle2000 very kind! I just texted Grayson hotel And I am waiting to hear back from them. I'll see if I can find their email address because I do not do Facebook.
Excellent. I hope they can help you out. If all else fails, you can just show up in person. They are very used to that. Feel free to tell them I sent you. 😉
Lived in Davao for 7 years but Malaybalay was never mentioned by any friends but of course I knew of Bukidnon..What does a single man do in Malaybalay?Seems to me if your wife or online dating GF is from there it might be worth a visit but im thinking you would run out of things to do fast and make weekly runs to CDO.... The temps are nice with not much traffic I can see but I think there is not much to offer for western single guy living quarters?
Hello. 👋 It is extremely easy to find a wife here imo. The online dating scene not so much. I'm a bit of a home body/internet guy so it's fine for me to not go out on an adventure every day. Stay tuned into my videos and I'll be showing off more off of the area. Honestly if I can get my own transportation it will open up a whole world of possibilities. For the last 3 months I've been occupied with public transportation alone...
This is a really great video I'm not in the Philippines yet but I hope to come there soon and I would love to find a place reasonable to stay like these places do you have any other suggestions
@@expatlifestyle2000 I was there last month 😅 but I didn't get the chance to meet Vanessa.. ohh yeahh sooo many places to explore in the Phils .. enjoy! 😃
@KATHERINE-so5di you missed out. Vanessa is a sweetheart. I feel like I could spend my whole life wandering around the philippines and still not see it all. Are you planning any exploration of Mindanao?
@@expatlifestyle2000 I mean in Iloilo i was there the whole month of May. No plans in Mindanao😅. I just couldn't stand the heat there but I always love the Phils ofcourse esp in Iloilo😅. Yeahhhh.. I was in the city few times and forgot to ask her how can I contact her😅.. well, nextime😄
Great video and much appreciated. I'm hoping to visit Malaybalay when I travel to the Philippines to do some recon in hopes of retiring there. I noticed some wall crawlers once or twice in your video. Is that universal for hotels there, and the Philippines in general, or are there hotels where that's not going to be an issue? I don't want to swallow a creepy crawly while I'm sleeping, if I can avoid it. :) TY
Thank you and I have enjoyed making them. Ants are everywhere in the philippines. The small red ones bite surprisingly hard and the black ones are pretty harmless. Other bugs are hit and miss. My last apartment had ants and a few spiders but my new place is 100% bug free.
@CanadaSteve I'll also make sure to keep an eye open for them in my future apartment and hotel review. I guess I've been here in se asia so long I overlook alot of stuff like that.
Hey Nate, big fan of your work! Coming for two weeks in november. Seriously considering retiring in malaybalay. How do I talk to you offline about that? Thanks Tony
Nice. I'll be excited to meet you when you come into town. I'll be pumping out even more videos about Malaybalay for you. Livestreams are best to jump in on as many have the same questions as you, Im sure. Or you can email me.
Excellent video! Very useful. Great how the front desk staff gave their greetings. Charming. Full length mirror "for TikTok dances" Ever the diplomat! Judy was a doll! Should I bring my own toilet seat when traveling in the Phillipines???
@stevenr1354 Thanks Steven. The folks here are so friendly and accommodating. The toilet seat depends on your accommodation. Sub $10 a night rooms you better bring one with you.
@expatlifestyle2000 Sorry I put my comment below another viewer's! I'm sure your polite and charming manner is part of the equation as well. You're a great representative of our country.
Pretty good. Still hot from like 11-4. It's been raining in the late afternoon and early evening really Cooling everything down. At night it's a fan and windows situation with some covers imo.
Great vid! My move to the ph's is getting ever closer, and the info greatly appreciated. Malaybalay is my #1 pick so far for a new home. Thank you Nate!
My pleasure and thank you for the compliment. I'll keep pumping out vids to help inform you.
Thanks so much. I appreciate your easygoing vlogging.
Thank you. I appreciate your kind and thoughtful comments.
Just watched your interview with Scotty and subscribed to the channel - loved your interview and just starting this video.
Thanks Eric and welcome to the channel. I hope you like my vids.
Nice presentation mate glad you are recovered from your hectic gym schedule and back to enjoying the ginger beef at Roys 😁

Great video Nathan, you're doing the job of the tourism department
😂 ain’t that the truth. This is Irene BTW!
Thanks Roger. You are the man!
@mindanaoan maybe when I meet with the tourism board they will have alot to offer. 😀 I tried today but they had a seminar that they were attending.

Love your channel, bro. Great info! Keep it up! Thank you!!
Thanks. I'll put it on the idea list.
you could make a similar video of food places/coffee shops
I'm already on it my man.
@@expatlifestyle2000 Very impressive and fast
I've been collecting videos of the pizza places for 2 months now. I love pizza so much you would think I was a ninja turtle...instead I'm just fat. 🤣 😂
Thanks for this information Nate.
See you on there in MalayBelayon the 13 June
You are welcome. See you soon.
Great Vlog!
Thank you!!
Nate, great informative video thanks
Thank you. 😀
Thank you for your effort 🙏🏼

Thanks. How about a liv3 stream. Iloilo vs malaybalay?
@@expatlifestyle2000sounds great, maybe I'll even be able to do an actual live 😂😂😂😂
Welcome to boom boom hotel ay!? 😂 she’s a cutie too😊
Agreed. She was almost to shy to get on camera but she was sweet enough to indulge me.
Lots of good options there, thanks :)
My pleasure. Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment.

Agree DC. It's so nice to have options. You can spend a smidgen or a fortune. Up to you.
I like the greyson hotel one!!
Me too!
Look great place to stay😊
So many more places to check out. Seems like a majority of the places here have no online footprint. Thanks for watching Vanessa 😀
@@expatlifestyle2000 yes, i noticed that too even here in Iloilo. You have to explore the place to discover it.
All I need is a pool😉
Wait till you see some of the resorts out here.
2:26 nice looking place! Enjoy the US. I was back September through December 1.
Thanks. Not to much longer here I think. I'll be ready for to return to malaybalay. Great city.

By the way the first hotel is a typically WAY over priced hotel like most in the RP....
Out of my budget 4 sure.
Very informative. Well done video.
Thank you for your affirmation.
On review of your video - good info.
I'm glad it was helpful!
A other great video. You didn't show the Hilton
😄 🤣 no Hilton around here. Bom bom is one of the premier hotels in the city.
This is a really great video I'm not in the Philippines yet but I hope to come there soon and I would love to find a place reasonable to stay like these places do you have any other suggestions
Thank you. I have a few apartment/hotel videos in iloilo, dumaguete, thailand, and malaybalay. I'll be making more come April or March too.
sign me up for "Boom Boom" hotel! 🤣 We all know what goes down there...
🤣
Do they have a nice gym in town. Maybe at a big hotel or in town?
There are gyms all over the place. Plenty of great choices.
Good info Nate! Are you not coming back to Iloilo?
Thanks Katherine. Not for a while, I still have alot to explore on Mindanao.

Way expensive - Go to Thailand!
I am paying less than $150 monthly with utilities for my apartment and also payed that in green ridge. There are options of all prices here I think.

Pretty good. Still hot from like 11-4. It's been raining in the late afternoon and early evening really Cooling everything down. At night it's a fan and windows situation with some covers imo.
You do know what Bombom means don’t you Son?😂
No. What does it mean?
boom boom not bombom
Boom boom just seems like it's an inappropriate name for a hotel though. 😄
WOW --- Great job with showing us what all can be had - and I'm sure there are many more - if you keep looking ?!?
Thanks for looking at my videos and yes so much more.
Boom boom hotel?
😄 🤣 no funny buisness there though..... unless you bring your own. 😄
