The greenery, beach, nothing but the sound of gentle waves, birds, crickets and other critters. That's how you defeat pain, anxiety and depression, not with pills 😊
Not many local residents, not many tourists, not so big island with just the adquate infrastructure, and one of a few of the most gorgeous, quiet, and most peaceful islands in Phl., for sure. Perfect getaway, and to relax and quiet down the senses. It's so quiet that you can almost forget that you're in a small island where you should hear the waves crashing the shores wherever you are on the island. Just the usual sound of insects, birds, tukkos, and the cock-a-doodle-doos which reminds you that you're in the Philippines and its quirky people.
New subscriber. Chris, I learned about your channel during Mike's interview. Taking the time to write a description detailing your Camotes Island tour adds real value to the video. I like that very much. My wife is from Talisay just south of Cebu City. We've been visiting Cebu mostly for over 25 years but never been to Camotes Islands so this is appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the sub. I have to be honest, I did not write that. I’m using online tools to generate informative descriptions based on the destinations I’m going to for folks who do want more information. I tweak it for sure but the writing is AI. On another note, I’m new to the area but know exactly where Talisay is. I really love it here in Cebu City. Really incredible here. Thanks again for the sub and your comment. Hope you enjoy the channel
That beach is gorgeous. U can definitely enjoy there without the distraction from crowds u normally see in Boracay stations 1, 2, and 3. Enjoy ur time Chris.
Try going Bohol too, the beaches there are really good too 😊❤ btw, Camote means sweet potato 🍠 😊. Thanks Chris for liking Philippines 🇵🇭. Be safe and God bless 🙌 🙏🩷
I have had those thoughts since retiring here, yes. And they are recurring thoughts. I thank my lucky stars for making it to this point. Describe your camera setup including the audio.
So cool that you mentioned our World Champs Nuggets on this awesome Vlog Chris. I had a feeling we share the same excitement about this Team and what they have accomplished recently, I mean having to have lived in Colorado as well. Huge Nuggets fan here as you can probably tell. Looking forward to a repeat next season! Enjoy the Island experience by the way, the view looks absolutely breathtaking there.
Nice video, Chris! 👍 I've been looking for a good, durable waterproof backpack, around 15-20L. What kind of bag is yours, if you don't mind sharing? What you do and don't like about it? Thanks.
Hey Chris, loving your content from Australia! Quick question: How have you found the wet season in Cebu so far? Many sunny days in between the rain? I'm thinking of heading over to PH soon, but don't want to spend my time trapped inside if it's raining all the time! Cheers, from one keen Aussie!
Thanks for watching. As far a wet season its coming up. Starts in September and this will be my first. The wet season goes through December. I got here in December and so far the weather has been a non issue
Is your friend’s scooter the Suzuki Burgman 200, or 400? Since I’ll be living (for now) on Luzon, I need to get a 400cc, or bigger (😲) bike, and between the Suzuki, Kymco and KYC, I’m trying to decide
Chris! Ah! This video made me miss Pinas even more! I like your room it's really nice! It's rustic but it's very clean. Thank you for showing us around. We're looking forward to more beautiful scenery.
That big lizard u are saying is called Tuko, it's a Gecko. There was a time here in the Philippines that people are hunting them as they are being used in Chinese Medicine and buyers are buying them for a lot of money on the black market. Anyway, looking forward on your motovlogging videos
The beach practically at your doorstep...I suppose that was at high tide? Campfire, shellfish and a glass of Scotch. Mmmmm. That looks like fine sand...how does it compare with Boracay? Thanks.
It's funny, I noticed when you speak with Filipinos, you are already starting to use broken English, with a Filipino accent haha!😂 Does that help them understand you?? Soon you won't say, "he called me", you'll say, "he chat to me" 😮 LOL
#djsbeachresort
Thanks David. Loved being there. Check out his place. Really incredible place. See you again soon David:)
Camotes Island is one of the most beautiful and relatively unadulterated island in the Philippines! Happy you enjoyed the place!
It really is and I loved it
Awesome place.
As a Filipino, I envy you. 😅
Fresh clean air. Quiet relaxing place. Calm sea. So perfect.
Ride safe. 🤙🇵🇭
Yes, thank you
Hopefully someday I'll visit that place too😍.thank you Cris😊 Ingat palagi Kaibigan👋
Salamat. Amping amigo:)
The greenery, beach, nothing but the sound of gentle waves, birds, crickets and other critters. That's how you defeat pain, anxiety and depression, not with pills 😊
So true, so true. Hope you are good there
Fine! I'm like going there by myself and live there like forever. That kind of peace is so addicting.
I hear ya. I truly love the quieter less touristy Islands.
Make your way to Pilar island. It is even quiter. Just a few minute boat ride
Yes. Next time i'm there. I plan on hitting up David again at DJ resorts and spend a week really exploring the island.
Holy Mackerel 1st comment!

Watching your camera without seeing you holding the camera feels like watching a video game😄
That’s so fun. I really like my camera set up.
C is for Carefree 👏 It’s a Carefree Chris! 👏
Lol so funny. Really great hanging out with you. Hope all is good there
Cebu is Popular for their Beautiful Beaches...Very close to Bohol..Nice beach, white sand..
It really is!

Filipinos mainly travel to see white people. So this would be boring for the masses.
I really loved it there in Camotes. So beautiful
Love it! 🤍
Thank you 😋

Awesome! Thank you!
Good morning Chris what a great trip wow.. your bike is off the hook!
Yes it was! The bike is a blast. So happy to be riding again. Thanks for watching:)
I have had those thoughts since retiring here, yes. And they are recurring thoughts. I thank my lucky stars for making it to this point.

How do you film that? Is that a drone flying behind you? Quick vid on my equipment…

Yes. Go Nuggets. I have to admit one of the things that’s rubbing off on my from the Filipinos is the love for basketball:)
Digging that partial outdoor bathroom 😁
Loved that place. I'm going back
helo sir,,thanks for your great video/vlog,plz can you tell me the exact location as i want to go there, ?,,,,many thanks sir...
I'm in Cebu City, in the Business Park right next to Ayala mall
many thanks sir,,
Nice video, Chris! 👍
I've been looking for a good, durable waterproof backpack, around 15-20L. What kind of bag is yours, if you don't mind sharing? What you do and don't like about it? Thanks.
I love it because it holds 3 liters of water too. The company is called CamelBak and should be available world wide. I’m a fan
@@CarefreeChris Thanks Chris! 👍
❤love watching ur videos..
May I know what's the name of this resort where you stay in camotes..
We stayed at DJs resort. I believe there’s a link in the video description
What's the make and model of your bike Chris? I like your channel. I'm jealous lol
I have a Royal Enfield Hunter 350. Fun little bike. Really great for the Philippines
Thanks for watching btw. I really appreciate it:)
Beautiful.
Very!
@@CarefreeChris my girlfriend is in Boracay right now. Looks like a beautiful place also.
@@Smith-zo5xh It is. A lot more touristy there which isn't good or bad. Just different
You're really a nice guy!
I appreciate that!

Since I’ll be living (for now) on Luzon, I need to get a 400cc, or bigger (😲) bike, and between the Suzuki, Kymco and KYC, I’m trying to decide
I’m pretty sure that Suzuki is actually at 1:25 that he’s on. If I were you, I’d look at the new Honda NX 500.
Carpe Diem Chris !
You know it
Chris! Ah! This video made me miss Pinas even more!
I like your room it's really nice! It's rustic but it's very clean.
Thank you for showing us around. We're looking forward to more beautiful scenery.
Thanks so much!
Glad you had a safe trip with your 🏍️. How much did it cost you to bring it to the ferry Chris?
Really appreciate it. The ferry was around between 800 & 1500 pesos. Don't recall exactly
Nice
Thank you
That big lizard u are saying is called Tuko, it's a Gecko. There was a time here in the Philippines that people are hunting them as they are being used in Chinese Medicine and buyers are buying them for a lot of money on the black market. Anyway, looking forward on your motovlogging videos
Yes. They’re popular pets in the US now too. I believe they’re captive bread there
Visit Siquijor island in the Central Part of Visayas. Close to Bohol, Cebu and Dumaguete.
On my list for sure:)
Did you bring your drone?
Yes. Flew a little but don’t think I’ll add footage in. Was great to get it out though.
The beach practically at your doorstep...I suppose that was at high tide? Campfire, shellfish and a glass of Scotch. Mmmmm. That looks like fine sand...how does it compare with Boracay? Thanks.
If you like more people and tourists shops the Boracay is it. If you like more a quieter setting the for sure Camotes:)
hello Chris, do you need a cycle indorsement to ride in the philippines?
im comming in januray 2024
If you already have one on your license your current license is good for 90 days
Mornin joe
Morning:)
That's less than a thousand bucks a month, does it make you tempted to just live there?
Yeah. Real tempted. Already looking to possibly go back for a couple of weeks. It’s only a couple of hours away from Cebu City
The clouds really looked like rabbits running on the sea.
Lol nice
What was the Ferry cost for you and your bike?
Around 1500 pesos i think
outside of Hawaii you won't get that in the US... Maybe I'm wrong but looks super tropical
Really beautiful
@@CarefreeChris many more 🌴🌴🌊 yeah I'm a beach person ...right now I'm land locked and I can't stand it
Having 2 wait 3 months 2 legally ride a new bike is an outrageously looong time 2 wait. There has 2 B a way around this $$ grease D wheels $$
It’s rough brother. Not going to lie. My workaround was buy a used bike while I registered my new one
It's funny, I noticed when you speak with Filipinos, you are already starting to use broken English, with a Filipino accent haha!😂 Does that help them understand you?? Soon you won't say, "he called me", you'll say, "he chat to me" 😮 LOL
Lol to funny. I’m trying to learn the language:) They really respond even with a couple of words.
Very expensive! Room! Charge a lot!
Not to bad really. Included breakfast
I travel quite often around the Philippines. Considering the quality of the accommodations and the free breakfast, it’s quite a good price
are you really there or are you pulling a "jasper " with old you tube footage 😂😂😂
I was just there.
Just got home, yesterday :)
@@CarefreeChris just kidding i know your not a hump like little Jasper
@@ingramdavis9569 lol to funny:)
