  • Here's a walking tour of Alona Beach in Bohol. While making this video, I accidentally stumbled onto a hidden lagoon at the far end of the beach. This is where the locals swim and it's a beautiful place. Sort of like a mini Maya Bay, Thailand. www.markblacka...

    I'm diggin the simple life! After visiting the Philippines for 8 months last year, I'm ready to go back and do it permanently. I stay in Olongapo/Subic bay area, but I've been traveling to Iloilo, Mindoro, and other popular places like Manila, Baguio, and Tagaytay. I moved out of my expensive home, I need to sell my truck, and pay off some remaining debt then its onward!

    @ 32:30 I'm at that point now, exactly like you said. "It doesn't impress me anymore". For the last year or so, i've been thinking about getting rid of all the materialistic things you mentioned. I have all of that right now. Single/homeowner/decent bank account/2 cars/2 motorcycles/living alone and FOR WHAT? I hate it now, i couldn't care less about all that shit anymore. It's not making me the happiest i could be. I'm tired of this rat race and want to permanently get away. You said a mouth full and hit the nail right on head. It speaks volumes to me. I need to get the fuck away from this non-free feeling lifestyle. I don't want to be tied to any job or any person in charge of how my spend my days, except the love of my life and that's it. It's time to make some changes. Thanks bro! Your video is inspiring me to make those changes in my life. I'm just about done with the way things are now. Gotta start planning for a new future. I can't wait.

      You took the words out of my mouth.
      I have already contacted Realtors and envision a tag sale to sell everything in my house.
      Who cares about it anymore.
      Sick of working the same shit every day and come home alone.
      We all found our way to this channel for a reason.
      Good luck to you!
      PS Life kinda changed when I watched my ex husband die at age 54 ..yup I said 54 after a long battle with cancer.
      Life is short and only get one.

    No matter what you get in life, at some point, enough is enough and to look at something beautiful an attraction, yes 5 minutes is enough. I totally agree with you concerning wealth and happiness vs not wealth but still happiness, meaning expensive things don't make you happy 🤔

    My GF(now wife) and I explored and found that little secret cove back in '15. next time book the resort at the far end of beach the other way-inexpensive resort that winds up the hill w/ a cool little pool. we ended up with a separate cabana type structure, which was very nice for the price with a/c and our own little porch that is ON the beach. showed the wife the video(we are now living in the states-for now), but it brought back a lot of great memories. We also found an awesome hidden waterfall about an hr up the coast on Bohol island, up the mtn 20 mins and another 10-20min trek through the jungle/river. only way we found it was some local offered to show it to us....never saw anyone else there, leaving or going.

    My friend I like your comments about the people who live a fancy life yes they might have everything but I'm sure they don't have a good heart like we do also they don't know the meaning of the words simple and humble
    Last year I went to Gloria Oriental mindoro Philippines and I have the best time of my life I enjoy so much that I become a better person, I wish one day you visit theare I'm sure you will like it because I didn't Not see tourists at all.
    Be safe my friend 🙂👍🏼

    You had barbecue chicken, just off the beach, but you did not say what it costs. You talked about it a lot, but did not give useful information. People need to know what things cost. Not just hear whatever pops into your head. Put some thought into your videos.
