all right welcome to siargao Island and I am  on the side of the island where most tourists   don't go to and I just found a little village  here ah looks absolutely beautiful here right yeah I drove away from the general  Luna Village the main tourist Village   of the island I'm like I don't know  like half an hour away from it now   I'm from this little uh Village  here and I'm actually low on gas but I figured there will be a possibility to   find gas also in these more rural  areas so let's see what we can find excuse me hello where can I find gas   gasoline you have a shop over here yeah on  the left side okay so that much thank you okay so I guess this is maybe  like a little fishing Village   oh you want to have a shout out oh hello are you are you from here yeah yeah what's  the name of this little Village again it's a little fishing Village here yeah  yeah oh okay okay looks beautiful here   but again should I go the secret part   nice Jersey uh do you like my Filipino Jersey yeah  yeah Filipino we like it we like it I like it too I'm looking for gasoline let's go over there okay let's go yeah I guess there will be a shop  selling gasoline out of liquor bottles   that's usually how it works in these rural areas love YouTube videos and today I make  a video about shiagao Island Ken abroad can abroad yeah I'm  here okay let me park the bike ah okay let's see how much is gasoline here  70 pesos for one bottle yeah ah okay okay thank you for showing me so much okay let's see if I can get this seems to be oh  yeah I think this is a gasoline here gasoline 82 yeah 82 pesos yeah this is a one liter yeah   how much liter do I need to  fill it up what do you think let me try one or two and then then I see how  much it is yeah I just rented this motorbike   for the next week and sometimes when you went  motorbikes and they come with an empty gas tank   but then you also have to return it with an  empty tank so that's actually okay so literally   just rented it half an hour ago now I need to  fill it up for the first time so let me see oh it's not too hot Okay so   and now I have the camera in one hand and I  need both hands so I will place you guys here actually I'm wondering what type of Coca-Cola  bottle this is I've never seen a one liter   Coca-Cola bottle before in glass maybe it's a very  old one one liter cooker called a glass bottle   that's kind of where I think  okay this is actually working so I spilled a little bit but I think that's okay I think it's okay now maybe one more  one more yeah maybe let me try one more   I can't really see how full it is already  but uh I think there's still more space   oh this is actually uh yeah  yeah a big help foreign but I never see a one liter Coca-Cola  glass bottle it's a very old bottle Maybe yeah but uh but I never see one liter glass bottle  from Cola before only plastic bottle I know okay   oh yeah this is actually a big help here okay how  do you call this uh in English in German it's a   trickster but I actually don't know the English  word of this okay do I put the bottle over there 246. okay I pay in one second let me close it here okay what did she say 246. what is this  animal you see this this looks like a huge   flying thing which Blake what is this oh I never saw this animal before interesting  oh you have a gun here oh very dangerous little children walking around with a toy gun here um can you change I only have one thousand okay   oh she's selling uh some fish here I think  this is maybe dried fish happy birthday is this dried fish here ah interesting oh okay  I need six 754 okay I don't need the coins   that's okay like this thank you okay thank you  so much I have a question is there maybe a nice   switch around here or a beautiful place  oh yeah around here with no tourists   do you know a place around here with a beautiful  water and view oh and pillar that's very far right   I need to go back here and then right ah okay  okay get a name that Jesus mentioned I read   before and it's very beautiful okay okay so here  and then right okay okay thank you very much   okay so yeah I'm just aimlessly driving around  the island at the moment I just wanted to get   away from the from the tourist hot spot to  explore the real beauty of this island hopefully so yeah let's see what we can find today um  I hope you uh enjoy seeing these sides of the   island as well I'm probably not going  to show you much of the tourist places   because to be honest this is not really my cup  of tea like the main village here General Luna   um when you walk around there you see more  westerners than you see locals and uh yeah   normally I'm not a big fan of places like  this but of course it's convenient to stay   there because that's the area where all the  hotels are all the restaurants ATMs everything   so it's very convenient to stay there but uh  during my days I actually enjoy exploring this   side of the islands as well so let's uh hit the  road again yeah let's have a little look around   this is a typical Village here I drove past  a few Villages already and they all basically   look like this oh some loud music coming from  there maybe there's a little party going on together and I can see on the faces of the people  that uh probably not many tourists drive by here   obviously there are tons of tourists  Western tourists on the island   most of them probably stay around the main village I found gasoline yeah is there something here what is over there I'm looking for like a nice  place nice place maybe a nice view over the ocean so over over there's nothing so maybe go back here no sir I can go here  and then I can go to the ocean yeah you   want a shout out shout out to you oh  hello hello okay so I can drive here   and then through the palm trees or the coconut  trees yeah okay I'll have a look thank you okay let's go with your recommendations from the locals  they obviously obviously know the area the best um I think this is basically going back  to the Waterfront where we have been at   the beginning of the video so I'm not  sure if there's something new to see maybe I will need another stop to get some links maybe I can get a drink here I see some snacks  that look interesting okay we still haven't   left the village I bet it's okay hello America  I'm not America Germany hello what is this here   this looks looks very good just bread bread how  much is one five pesos okay can I can I get one   and do you also have a water here do we have small  but you have a cold cold perfect oh very good okay   okay let's get the bread here I think  she just made it fresh it's still warm hello oh this is very good still  warm and fresh very fluffy bread oh this is very good oh you you make  it yeah yeah oh it's very delicious okay how much do I get in total 20 pesos then I still have to change  that I just watched 15. this is very good nothing like the taste  is not just nothing like like inside so   it's not a sweet taste or something  it's just plain it's very fluffy and delicious oh thank you so much maybe I get one more yeah it's very delicious oh you say yeah Oh I thought you speak bisaya here I can speak  Tagalog bisaya and also little only English little   English no problem I only speak little bisaya  and Tagalog yeah so yeah the Waterfront over   there is the same that we saw at the beginning  of the video so I will just turn around again okay thank you bye-bye um can I go down here it's very okay I will give the camera a little break now  and then turn it back on whenever I see   something interesting all right I found this  little Viewpoint here overlooking hundreds   maybe thousands of coconut trees a  picture no I don't want a picture   what are you selling what is  this no plastic not allowed straw   so bring in shake and milky but what do you use  this for this is just a bamboo oh bamboo straw   I use it as a straw oh yeah how to drink  yeah ah why are you selling straws here   oh this is this also straw and [ __ ] and  shake and Milton sagu sagu oh yeah but what   do you use this for yeah 100 but this is not  a straw right yeah yeah what what is this no   plastic nut allowed plastic not allowed so this  is uh like a straw but this is so big so foreign but why why do you sell straws here  yeah because there's the there's the   first place to start with the tourists  that's why we see ah when the tourists   are coming from the airport they stop here  Luna oh you want to check out my jersey yeah I like the Philippines a little bit I try to learn but not not so much  now but I try to learn a few words every day   so you're all selling the the bamboo straws here yeah when you use it you get a wash hour then  you can you use back and you want to use but   you sell only like so many of them yeah like  uh so if somebody buys it they have to buy the   whole package yeah sometimes the the divide  the whole holes through here because there   are some some like some subgroups yeah if  they have a big group okay I see okay okay   I have a question uh this place looked different  a few years ago right yeah it's a very big   difference when the audit came here because  of the typhoon last year right here it's a   big difference from the other year that sausage  you can have too in the other year but for now   the roof we got so here coming from here yeah like  there used to be a restaurant up there right yeah   and some some hot selling  food here right yeah yeah I see yeah yeah that's why a very big difference  from the other year from now yeah I see okay   well but the view is still uh still the same of  course it's going back did the typhoon destroy   many of the trees yeah yeah I think half of them  half of the trees were destroyed here ah okay yeah so it used to be like even more  ah so what we are seeing now is   only a little bit of what it used to look  like a year ago before the typhoon again yeah I guess it takes a long time  for them to grow this big right   yeah I can imagine is there a  little village inside the trees   sorry is there a little village over there yeah  let's uh that's where we are living there oh I   can go to the Village yeah you can go yeah how  do I how do I get there just go straight yeah yeah okay okay okay thank you so much  okay good luck with selling the straws I make a YouTube videos yeah What's  Your Name YouTube This Is My Name   on YouTube yeah you want to shout  out in the video what is your name JJ yeah okay nice to meet you nice to meet you  nice to meet you you are here every day yeah   oh no uh we have two group here we we  alternate this was two ah okay okay we   have 24 people here just selling bamboo  just selling bamboo so you you make the   bamboos in the village down there yeah  yeah okay okay how much you sell them for   this one yeah just only 100 per bundle  100 for this bundle here some of the uh here yeah and then that kind of  strolled if I hear that's why   we use there because we don't need  allowed to use the plaster that's   why yeah yeah I will buy one I will  buy one yeah 100 yeah okay all right support these guys here oh   I have 100 okay thank you okay how many how  many of them do you sell usually in one day maybe sometimes we sell I think 10 10 of them  per day is it like a good spot many tourists   come here every day yeah because this diverse  this is the first spot they go yeah they stop   there yeah yeah that's why we we used to take this  place to ceiling back yeah yeah I remember when I   came from the airport yeah I also make a stop here  on the way to General Luna yeah okay you take this   place yeah sometimes speaking pictures here ah  okay you make pictures for the chillers and then and then you charge for  pictures oh it's a little tip   yeah oh I see okay okay okay thank you  so much nice to meet you okay bye-bye yes I'm looking trying to uh to make some  money by selling these bamboo straws here   and I probably don't need all of them but maybe  I will keep one or two and then maybe give away   the rest I will see but actually I wanted to  tell you something about this place because   this place is actually an emotional place for  me maybe a few minutes ago you heard me asking   oh this place looked different a few years ago  how do I know that I've never been here before   but uh let me explain the whole story a little  bit so a little story time now three and a half   years ago while I was still living in Germany  I didn't had a YouTube channel back then I was   being a student in Germany and I really enjoyed  watching Trevor bloggers on YouTube and one of   my favorite vloggers back then was a guy named  Harold Boulder maybe some of you know him he's a   very popular YouTuber travel YouTuber with over 2  million followers so I really enjoyed watching him   I remember he did quite a few videos in the  Philippines I think it was like May or June   2019 and I remember watching him and I was like  wow he's living such a cool life he's traveling   full time seeing beautiful places every day making  YouTube videos earning his money while doing that   or with doing that so I was like oh I want to live  that life as well so I set myself the goal and I'm   traveling I'm starting to travel I want to start  my YouTube channel so I really had this feeling of   here I want to do this as well and I remember  watching Harold Boulder standing exactly here   overlooking this amazing view here three and  a half years ago and I was like jealous of him   of all these travel vloggers living a life like  that and I'm realizing now three and a half years   later I am living exactly this life as well I'm  traveling full time I have my own YouTube channel   I'm making travel videos I'm earning my money with  exactly doing that so being here exactly now here   and remembering how I used to watch Harold balder  standing here three and a half years ago and I   was like oh I want to live this life as well and  now three and a half years later I am here living   exactly this life and that really shows um yeah  keep believing in your dreams if you have a dream   if you maybe want to become a travel vlogger as  well or a YouTuber or whatever it is that is your   goal uh work hard for it it was a lot of work  for me to get to this point here um of having   a successful YouTube channel but uh it's worth it  believe in yourself work on your dreams and I am   sure all your dreams can become true as well so  uh yeah maybe a little inspiration for you guys   uh three and a half years later I was sitting at  home watching travel vloggers standing exactly   here and now I'm living this life as well okay  let's continue exploring this beautiful Island okay I am in this little village now that  we saw from the from the Viewpoint up there   and this is the river where you can make  boat rides which maybe I do in one of the   next days today is maybe a little bit late  already it's after four o'clock already   but you can make tours through the the main roofs  here and uh the river looks very inviting it is uh   yeah once again a hot day here in the Philippines  so I guess the water is very refreshing yeah the   villages here all look very similar like I get a  whole day I'm riding through a village to see and   then they all look uh basically like this it's  a very typical Village Vibes here I would say the machine River yeah my bridge it's a bridge yeah and then  you can start the tours there is it   all day every day all day every day  and what time any time any time okay no break time never break okay so that  much thank you thank you thank you hey I was asking about the place where I can do  one of these River tours oh yeah this place here   looks really a picturesque right with the trees  on both sides even leaning over the the river here   and then you can start a boat right here I think  I might do one of these four twice another day   uh yeah you have these blue  little boats down there   and then you can start the tour  probably through the mangroves here and I guess that's gonna  be a pretty beautiful ride there's some traffic here man riding a bull oh that looks nice hello oh is this fun oh that  looks like fun laughs oh nice oh have a good day   oh just casually riding a ball through the middle  of the coconut Fields here oh that was nice   okay I found a beautiful view and some friendly  little kids who already started to chat with me   maybe we can talk to them in a minute but first  check out this beautiful and epic view here   this island is very beautiful maybe this is a  rice field here I'm not really sure about that   but uh yeah this amazing view here   wow and yeah ninety percent of the the times  or 90 of the the views that I'm having while   I'm riding here are looking uh similar like this  so it's absolutely epic to uh to ride along here   let's say hello to the guys over there  hello kamasaka oh it's very beautiful here   that's very uh guapo oh I don't I use I don't  think you say Guapo for abuse hello hello   ah why you play pool here oh okay

Sunset spot  today let's see what we can randomly find   or maybe I'm going back to this coconut  Viewpoint because the guy over there   told me that this is a nice Sunset  spot actually okay bye bye guys bye   making these random stops speaking with  some locals always nice and interesting oh yeah this is a stunning  here absolutely stunning all right I am back at the coconut viewpoint  but uh you know my luck with sunsets in the   Philippines uh this is what we are dealing  with today well the whole afternoon it was   very sunny and I was really hoping uh  to get a proper beautiful concert today   but um well let's once again became a little bit  cloudy like in the past half an hour so this is   uh the whole Sunset I can show you today the  funny thing is I am I saw a really beautiful   and proper Sunset like two weeks ago when I was  hiking a little bit outside of Manila but that   day I wasn't filming a video like sometimes I also  do things off camera so I was hiking a little bit   outside of Manila and I can show you the sunset  that I saw they are overlooking the whole of Metro   Manila so that was I think my uh only proper  Sunset I have seen in over two months in the   Philippines so far and yeah you saw me trying to  get a proper hunter in many other videos before so   unfortunately this is today's sunset yeah still  chasing for a good Sunset maybe in one of the   next videos hopefully what is he doing over there  oh I think they are filming a tick tock foreign maybe I should also start a tick tock account  check it out it looks actually quite funny what   they
