Excellent video, I live in Philippines and this is the best video I have seen about the country. Away from the tourist areas, meeting the locals, this is the true flavour of the country!
That was sweet when Zurka said he better not lose you because where would he find someone else like you!❤️
Loved the public food distribution market. They sure aren't starving.
I hope you will come back to see Philippines other beautiful islands like Palawan, Boracay, Cebu, Siargao, and many more.
I don't always comment, but my daughter (17) and I are enjoying traveling the world with you and Zarko! Thank you for taking us along!
That’s wonderful to hear! 🌟 So glad you and your daughter are enjoying the journey with us. Zarko says hi! 🙌 Keep watching; we’ve got 5 more months of incredible places comming up that you won’t want to miss.
Kuliglig, which is an improvised motorcycle or chopper as they call it in the US normally used for hauling stuff means cricket in English.
I think Divisoria public market is the main hub produce that supports Manila and neighborhood cities.
Wonderful video
Great vlog. Enjoyed this one. Never been to this part of the world 👍
Ditto! ❤
Many thanks
Amazing, you truly took us into the culture, love it
Understanding and appreciating different cultures is what travel is all about.
"po" is a word we put at the end of a sentence to say things with respect or to denote respect especially to people older than the one saying it. It is not equivalent to saying "very much". Very much is "marami" hence Maraming salamat (thank) po.
"Po" is a formal term normally used when addressing an older person as a form or respect. If I'm not mistaken it's a term that was adopted from Chinese culture.
Tagaytay / Tah - guy - tie
That was amazing. All that produce looked fresh but I can't imagine selling those quantities! Thanks for sharing.
It really is quite the sight! Thanks for watching and appreciating the journey with us!
I like the way you appreciate the WORLD mam..
It really means a lot to hear that. We’re just out here trying to soak it all in, one adventure at a time
very soon, you will be in HK. cheers, have fun
The Hong Kong video is coming soon.
wow very adventurous and so fun!
Thanks a bunch! We're all about chasing the adventure and finding joy in every corner of the world.
I love the content of your videos. Your narration and especially you and Zarkoes attitude about traveling. Obviously when you arrive at a destination You are not the hopping on a tour bus or the scheduled cruise tour. You are really seeing the world or maybe showing us the “authentic world” vicariously on your channel and I believe it is because
you both know how to be a listening, engaged and accepting instead of just being “tourists.” My husband and I lived In Saudi Arabia quite awhile ago He for six years and me for two years. We did do what we thought was a lot of Traveling but nothing like your travels. I love how you do not judge/ compare other cultures to anything else you just soak it all in. Carry on!
Thank you so much, it really warms our hearts to hear you're enjoying the content and our approach to travel.
You've got it exactly right - we aim to step beyond the usual tourist tracks. For us, travel is about embracing every moment, every encounter, and every culture with open minds and hearts. It's not just about seeing different places but truly experiencing them, learning, and growing along the way.
Hearing about your time in Saudi Arabia is fascinating! Living abroad offers such a unique perspective on the world, doesn't it? We live full time in Bulgaria.
it's that shared spirit of curiosity and acceptance that truly connects all of us wanderers.
Safe travels and much love,
#BZTravel
Oh my gosh, what a bustling city
I think I would feel overwhelmed there.
But as always, you two are having so much fun. Walking through all those stalls it was almost like we could smell the cooking, feel the heat and be right there in it too.
I know I normally comment on your dress but today Im gonna say- love the shirt Zarko!
❤ your favourite Aussie follower 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hey there, our favorite Aussie follower! 🇦🇺❤️
We're thrilled to hear you could almost taste the flavors, feel the warmth, and immerse yourself in the scenes right along with us through the video. That's exactly the vibe we aim for!
Keep on watching, and we'll keep on sharing our adventures.
Big hugs,
#BZTravel
Wow loved this thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pretty cool time you had there - loving all your videos and get to travel vicariously through you , so thank you so much.
So many places I will never see.
Also thank you for not getting caught up with the drama that so many other videos from RC world cruise passengers are posting. It is absolutely what you make of such a trip.
It's our pleasure to bring a piece of the world to you, and hearing that it's appreciated just makes our adventure even more worthwhile.
You've really captured the essence of our approach to this whole experience. For us, it's all about creating memories and capturing the essence of each place we visit, the way we want to remember it. We're not in the chase for clicks or trying to bump up our subscriber counts by jumping on the drama bandwagon. Our focus is on the beauty, the cultures, the people, and the myriad of experiences this world has to offer.
So, we're just thrilled to have you along for the ride, seeing the world through our eyes and hopefully finding joy in these experiences just as much as we do.
@@bztravel Wow thank you for your reply. We hear Zarko , his name but what is your name?
Again thanks for seeing the world and its beauty
You guys are so brave to venture off in these countries
Thanks for calling out our adventurous spirit! We understand that the idea of venturing into unfamiliar countries can seem daunting to some. However, we've found that the world is much friendlier than it often gets credit for.
Being aware of your surroundings and approaching travel with a respectful and open mindset makes all the difference.
The sensational nature of news media does play a significant role in shaping perceptions of fear and danger, often highlighting the negative while the positive goes unreported.
There was a time when playing on the street and exploring the city independently was the norm for kids. Nowadays??
It's worth remembering that for every negative story, there are countless untold stories of kindness, beauty, and uneventful yet fulfilling travel experiences.
Our mission is to share those positive experiences, showcasing the beauty of different cultures and the kindness of strangers around the world.
By sharing our journeys, we try to offer a different perspective, one that highlights the joy of discovery and the inherent goodness found in people everywhere.
Thank you. The way you film and all the information you provide. I feel like I’m almost there. Stay safe.
It's joy to hear that our filming style and the information we share can transport you right into the heart of our adventures. Creating that 'almost there' feeling is by going by the golden rule of video and creative writhing " SHOW do not TELL".
Thank you for your kind wishes and for being a part of our journey. Stay tuned for more adventures, and stay safe as well!
thanks for shearing ur wonderful experience in manila..ma,am and sir#BZ travel..by the way im your driver Anthony❤❤❤
Hey Anthony! 🚗💖
Oh wow, it's awesome to hear from you! We can't thank you enough for the unforgettable experience you gave us in Manila. You truly showed us the heart and soul of the city. It was those local insights and hidden gems that made our time truly special.
We're already dreaming of our next adventure there, and you bet, we're counting on you to guide us again. Next time, we're up for an even more local experience - let's navigate Manila through the colorful jeepneys! Can't wait to dive deeper into the city with you leading the way. Until then, take care and keep spreading the love and joy you do so well. ❤️🇵🇭
That was wild, so much produce and food at the markets! Great job, guys! Lisa
Hey Lisa! 🌟 Isn't it incredible? The markets are a treasure trove of local culture.
Thanks so much for your encouragement! Stay tuned for more wild adventures!
Love how you always do your own thing and experience the different cultures wherever you visit. Loved the video and your enthusiasm. What an amazing place, thank you for taking us there.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Stay tuned and keep exploring with us! 🌏
Wow! what an amazing market and te restaurant area .... just astonishing to see.
Isn't it just mind-blowing? 🤩 Markets and food spots have this magical way of pulling you right into the heart of a place.
@@bztravel You have such a great way of bringing us into the experience -- such a treat.
Great video. Enjoyed it very much.
Glad to hear it!
Fantastic video. What a busy place! ❤
Yes it was!
Loved seeing Taal Volcano. We lived in the Cavite province of the Philippines in 2022 and visited Tagaytay (pronounced like ta-guy-tie) and saw the Taal Volcano several times. Often with steam or smoke belching out. We were always on the mountain rim though and never down on the lake. It was fun to walk the streets of Manila with you. I was really wanting some sisig and especially the incredible fresh mangoes and singkamas that we saw on the trucks and carts. Thanks for sharing.
We're so glad to share our journey with someone who's had their own rich experiences in the Philippines.
Thanks for tagging along and sharing a bit of your story with us. Here's to more adventures and delicious discoveries!
What an amazing experience!
Your enthusiasm and support make these experiences even more amazing.
Fabulous video… thank you❣️
Thank you too!
Really enjoying going on this cruise with you and vicariously living it through your videos. Your audio quality is beyond reproach and, either you always get the shot, or you write to your video. Either way it's very well executed. In other words.. Bravo
Thank you so much for your kind words! It sounds like you have a good understanding of how videos are created, and you're absolutely right about our process. Each of us is equipped with an action camera (DJI Pocket 3), providing two distinct angles. Tressa is wearing both mics. The VoiceOver work is then added to weave the story together.
Creating these videos is a hobby and remains a fun for us.
Your appreciation really means a lot to us, and we're thrilled to have you along for the ride.
Yes I spent 40 years stringing pictures and sounds together for network TV news. I love the way you play so much natural sound up full. It puts me there. Bravo and carry on.
Thanks 🌟🥰🌟
You’re welcome 😊
You did not go around Tagaytay.... the View of Taal Lake and Volcano is Spectacular from above the Tagaytay Ridge.... as well as going around the Public market to taste the fruits of the Philippines..
Thing is, with just a handful of hours to play with, we had to pick and choose. Sure, we missed out on some stuff, but we packed in a ton, way more than your average cruise-goer gets to see.
We aimed for a deep dive into what we could fit in, which meant some cool spots got left on the wish list. It’s like going to a buffet and realizing you can’t possibly eat everything, right? You grab what catches your eye.
Thanks for the nudge and keep on watching.
Costco does it on a loading bay they don't have a big warehouse to sell it in so they offload on the street
Thanks for sharing this insight!
Crazy - the population when I was there in 1979 was 5.7m and your there with 15m
Thank you for sharing that bit of history with us!
They said they will take you to Tagay-tay but why did they took you to Batangas??..huh..
We made the choice to go to the lake, there is so much a person can do in few hours. We are happy the way we spend our time. Also it looked that Tagay-tay was overrun by the tour buses and a bit too touristy for our taste.
I have a random question(apologize if you have answered this type of question already). Based on the fact that you travel a lot, are you actually saving money by taking this world cruise? Was that a pre-factor?
Hey there! The question; it's a great one. 😊
This cruise isn't exactly about pinching pennies. Honestly, none of us boarded thinking we'd save a cash on this 9-month epic journey. It's all about seizing that once-in-a-lifetime chance to explore corners of the globe that might have remained just names on a map for us otherwise.
Imagine trying to reach these, often remote spots independently. We'd be hopping on flights, trains, and boats for years! What really reeled us in was the itinerary this cruise - it's like no other. Calling it the "Ultimate World Cruise" isn't just fancy marketing; it truly is a unique voyage. So, while it's not about saving money, it's definitely about enriching our lives with experiences we wouldn't trade for the world. 🌍
Love your reply! Carpe Diem!
2:30 I don't understand why forigners esp Americans always highlight our poor communities when we have modern cities that tells about how we have progressed. Instead u want the world know our shortcomings when in fact Americans has a lot more of it. Despite being the most powerful country in the world economically and militarily Americans have a lot of poor and homeless people which the rest of us can't fathom. Americans have filthy New York subways which is unimaginable despite NY is one of the most progressive cities in the world. Manila is a huge city and is still developing. We are slowly getting rid of those slum areas.
Im not sure about your guide not a good one.. should have taken you Intramuros Binondo Makati or BGC.
