Don't go to El Nido! Go further north instead 🇵🇭

The town of El Nido on the island of Palawan, Philippines, has been overrun with foreign tourists, which is not my vibe. Luckily, many of the beaches and villages further north remain pristine and authentic, with hardly a foreigner in sight. Check it out!

Yessir and what a nice day it was!

Wow, thanks so much Rei. Glad you enjoyed it
I enjoy this❤ cheers man keep it coming
Awesome! Thanks Mark I appreciate it
I agree, always great content!

The most beautiful ghetto in the world
You can say that again!
Bro go in summer and your gonna be barely able to wlak because of the people 💀💀
Oh wow seriously?? That doesn't sound like my kind of place 😅
Hello great sights and vlog!! Also whats your camera?❤new subscriber here!! Cant wait for more
Great to have you on board Mark! The camera is just an old GoPro Hero 8. Lots more to come!
Good on ya dude for not giving into those guys, damn they're like blowflies it would ruin anyone holiday.....
Thanks Marc! Yeah they definitely have a huge impact on the overall experience
This was painful to watch and a helpful warning to others arriving in Sri Lanka. You spent more time trying not to negotiate with street hustlers than actually accomplishing your goal of getting to the city.
Yup that's true! I've learned to embrace these types of interactions as they are often inevitable, and now I actually sometimes enjoy them
These tourists are fking brain dead. 🤦 Have some fking common sense ffs.
What an epic camping spot Ben . Cant wait to see where we are going next ??????
Well I'll level with you Mike... I've got a couple more Philippines videos coming out before the next country 😅
Is Dahab got many western tourists, and how big is Dahab?
Yes there are plenty of western tourists in central Dahab, and many tours and activities catering to them. The town is pretty big but there are no proper supermarkets or big stores like that, only small ones.
And here I am . Migrated in Europe in the 90s now divorced and dreaming to retire early and go home to PH . Take care and enjoy your holidays .
Ah yes I hear you, I could also happily retire in PH. Thank you for watching!
Hello bros please can we talk about it
Talk about what?
@@benbrazyoutube Bros please I'm a Nigerian citizen and I'm planning to come over to Cairo can it be possible for me to Cross from Cairo to Israel
I don't know but I imagine that border crossing is difficult to cross these days
Hi Ben, where are you originally from? You're so lonely by the way. Please smile and be happy because you look so depressed. Are you broke in your home country? I've heard there is a high inflation there, specifically in the west.
so BEN. . .THIS IS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE IN THE MORNING. . . .. .
Hahaha that's right, the secret's out 🫣
Do you have money left? Looks like you're broke or you're in a tight budget.
I'm not broke nowadays, but I often prefer to travel on little money. I get a thrill from experiencing epic adventure for free
@@benbrazyoutube free visa right? How long?
@@violeta123-y1w yup no visa required for the Philippines. One month for free
How old are you? You're so old.
35 now, just a kid 😉 I've always said age is only a number... what's important is one's spirit
You look so depressed.
Do I? 😮 I can assure you I'm not
are you famous?
Nope, not even close 😅
Are you broke?
No but I would say I'm a minimalist who loves true adventure 😉
a guy who's begging for rides won't give poor kids money. classy.
You think a backpacker passing through is expected to give money to locals?
Beautiful spot!
Thanks dawg, yeah it's incredible there eh
I'm Soo amaze you camping 🏕️ alone !
Camping alone is my favorite way of camping 🏕 😍 Thanks for watching!
I have a question I’m going to be there in less than two weeks. If somebody approaches me asks for my ticket, do I give it or not?
Once you're inside the entrance, you don't need to show your ticket again. If someone asks for it, they are probably just trying to sell you a guided tour or something
Le montage est vraiment top
Merci pour l'encouragement!
Filipinos seem like the friendliest people.
They really are!
You do find all the hidden gems Ben .
Awesome thanks Mike, I certainly try to!
Dude its five dollars via Uber
Yeah but I ain’t on no vacation
i love you❤ because Your the one please comeback (siwa Oasia) Egypt 🇪🇬
I will come back to Egypt one day for sure!
@benbrazyoutube thank you❤
i love this
Thank you Momo, very glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I have been in Egypt twice - the first and the last time. Never again.
Oh really? What did you dislike about it so much?
I was there also in a resort, this was the worst holiday of my life. I went there all inclusive but i had to pay extra for toilet paper if i was late in the morning i didnt get food.. they had 30 cocktails but you had to pay extra for 26 of them ... Then some insect stung me on the beach i almost died from an allergic reaction, but those fukkermutters told me to wait for 30 minuten for the bus, then i ran for my life almost diyng back to hotel on 60 degrees Celsius stones without shoes. Then i was done i cancelled this holiday after 4 days paying an extra 900 euros to come back home. And this is only 20% of my story. I totally feel you and please people never go their! 80% of people wants only your money. Everybody speaks english (they say) but like 5% can speak it. This place sucks, the people sucks, everything is filthy 🤬😤🤬😤😤😤🤬🤬 NEVER GO THERE!
Oh wow, sorry to hear about your bad experience
@@benbrazyoutube thank you for your response in a couple of days my lawyer is back from holiday and i will make a film about this scheise kanker hoeren place. I will show the world everything
Gast, je hebt gewoon pech gehad.. Ik ben er talloze keren geweest. Altijd leuk en gezellig. Er zijn zeker minpunten maar dat heb je overal toch. Verkeerde hotel gekozen. Tip : Ga naar Marsa Alam, als de stad niks voor je is.
@@tamaela1 heb jij een lol broek aan ? Ik was bijna dood en jij komt met je ik heb pech gehad 😂
@@tamaela1 gab als de stad niks voor mij is heb jij wel hersens ik kom uit Amsterdam ik ben geboren in de gestoordste stad van de wereld. Dit is kanker onzin want je moet eerst 20 km op je blote voeten over 60 graden tegels rennen voordat je ergens komt. .
memory seeming bad for you hahahaha try to have some vitamin
Haha lolol I can never remember names of people or places
Can you please show the hostels you stay.
I'll try to show more in the future. I believe there are some hotel tours in upcoming videos.
So you can still find places to stay in the Philippines for less than 500 pesos a night ??
Hey Andrew, yup in most (but not all) towns that I visited you can find a nice dormitory for under 500 pesos per bed, sometimes as little as 300-350 per night. I use the Booking app to search accommodations, they usually seem to have all the available budget accommodations, and Booking gives you more discounts the more you use it!
Hey I love your videos I also want to camp in Israel
Thank you very much for the support! I hope you will have a chance to camp in Israel. It's really such a great country for free-camping, I'm sure you will have an amazing adventure!
This vlog is fixed in my opinion just to make content, ofcourse your going to get hassled in or close to a airport taxi rank. You left the airport area and then re entered just to get more hassle content.at one stage you went to the departure entrance.. Clever editing, are you hoping for an Oscar?
Thanks so much for your support Alan!😊 Ohh I don’t know if the editing is Oscar worthy, but I’ll take it! 🤪 If you go back and watch more carefully, you’ll see that I re-entered because I had no idea where I was going and decided to ask for information 😉
Im visiting soon, can you remember the name of where you rented the bike?
Hey there! I was just looking at the map to see if I could find the shop where I rented the bike but I'm not sure which one. It was on JI Lempuyangan street, almost directly across from Lempuyangan train station. There are many scooter rental agencies along that street, so my recommendation would be to ask in several shops before you decide which to rent from. The standard rate is 100,000 Rp for 24 hours.
Tuk Tuk mafia everywhere. They should be educated that people like to travel by bus too. Not every wants Luxury.
That's how I feel! It sometimes annoys me when local people assume I want to spend big money on private tourist transportation.
There has to be good sign posted to say where are the buses and taxis etc...
Yeah that would be a huge help!
I miss Korea because i was there 4 years ago teaching. #GreatCountry
Ah cool, yeah beautiful country. I would like to go back soon
You should have showed us the night party you had last night.
Hahaha I would love to show it but it was probably inappropriate for UA-cam
when i was going from cairo to tanta few years ago (it s like the direction to alexandria) i paid few pounds and i paid inside the train , but conditions was very very low , i think that was the 3rd class train 🤣 and crowded as fu** and smell like a S+it hole , but was also a experience :D
Haha oh wow man that sounds cool, yeah I think it's often worth trying the 3rd class trains just for the experience. It helps people appreciate the better conditions later on. Thanks for sharing!
