We’re on the penultimate location in our 3-week, Southeast Asia trip and that has us here in Panglao.

ABOUT US.
We’re the Lockwoods: a family with 3 kids, 5 careers, and endless passion for adventure. Two years ago, we decided it was time for Phil's ad agency to abandon the in-person, 5-day workweek. So they 86’d the office and work hours, allowing our own family to start traveling almost constantly. We now work, school, and explore in a different place every week-from our own mountain and beach homes to exotic villas, resorts, and yachts around the world. As we experience and support diverse cultures, we hope to inspire more families to design a life of freedom and adventure.
Because there’s a new American Dream. It’s one that’s void of templated expectations, templated career paths, templated education, templated families, templated homes, and templated lives. Freedom is no longer an American tagline-it’s just the new, global way of life.
Every day that you spend doing something that doesn’t fulfill you to your core, you’re living your life on pause. You’re deferring genuine family time with no guarantee that there will be a tomorrow or a someday. Some people follow that mentality their entire lives. We’ve chosen to never live that way again.
We appreciate you following our journey. The more our channel grows, the more time we can spend traveling to more locations, contributing to these cultures, highlighting local businesses, and sharing inspiring stories from these communities. So please consider liking, commenting, and subscribing so that you can stick with us for the long haul.

Thank you for visiting the Philippines. Yes, I'm a Filipino-Canadian and have been to beautiful places/beaches around the world but nothing compares to Boracay, El Nido, Bohol, Cebu, Calaguas Island, etc..... The positive vibes of every Filipinos are beyond compare. Even though our culture were squandered and screwed up by westerners for about 500yrs, I'm looking at the brighter side- that Filipinos are very resilient, patient and cheerful people.. Sadly, not all Filipinos can afford to travel in their own backyard. Your family is such an inspiration to everyone. Love all your content and always looking forward to your next travel episode. Mabuhay and God bless your family!!!
Thank you for appreciating our videos 😊 We found the same beauty, kindness and resilience in Filipinos during our visit. ❤️🇵🇭
@@AlwaysBeChanging Exploring the Philippines from North to South will give you a perspective and mind blowing experience. Each region has their own cultural identity in terms of food, dialects and culture/traditions. A country that is like a dot in the map but it will blow someone's mind. Hope you consider other destinations like Batanes, Calaguas Island, Banaue Rice Terrraces / Sagada the next time....
I really love watching your adventurous family...God bless your trip as always..
Can you further explain why Philippine beaches is that good?
@@titosarmiento8333 First of all they’re gorgeous, the sand is smooth and fine, beautiful water colors, perfect water temperatures, and some of the best snorkeling so close to the shore. And most places have gorgeous sunsets!
Your kids make the videos more fun to watch! Love how comic Brooklyn photobombs her mom from behind and love how Colton had a razor-sharp teeth lizard as his temporary pet. Priceless memories y'all are making.
When you guys started to upload your vlog here in the PH ,I remember that your subscribers were only 11k but now you have 36.6k and the views of all your videos is amazingly high , wow! You really got the the attention of the Filipinos and charmed by your beautiful family and good vibes in every video you make , thanks for coming to the Philippines and stay safe ♥️
Philippines is the most beautiful place ever, love❤🇵🇭
We completely agree! 🥰
Definitely not. A lot of things need to improve.
@@ineedyou1298 no place is perfect tho
Yes, the country is beautiful, it is not perfect, but like you said it is beautiful nonetheless.
@@ineedyou1298 It's a beautiful country with beautiful people. The biggest problem is that it is run by corrupt politicians who do nothing but steal money from the people. Economy is so bad so many have to work in other countries to earn a living & feed their families. They have to leave their children & spouses behind! It's so horrible. And yet people keep on electing the same thieves into office. Perfect example of Stockholm Syndrome.
This family really invests in their vlogs. I've been watching them since they came to the Philippines and I must say, they go after the luxurious travel packages and best places to stay. They deserve full support to fund their adventures while we enjoy watching what they do. Kudos to you guys. Your kids are so amazing, by the way. ♥️
Thank you! It means a lot to us to hear that you appreciate our work 🙏🙏
I think part of the reason the kids are amazing is that they are learning so much . (Colt is a young me. I loved animals. Still do. In fact, I’m a biologist by profession.)
When we went island hopping in Bohol same thing happened, few dolphins came. I was quite sad we only see few of them and worried that they already left. But when we leave the spot and heading to Balicasag Island, they suddenly appeared near our boat doing their stunts, as if they are guiding us on our way to the island. It’s the most beautiful experience ever! Seeing them not in captivity and doing their natural thing, very amazing!
I love how you do criticisms in a sandwich format :)
very loud boat but worth the destination.
very crowded but marine life underneath is amazing.
You guys are truly savvy entrepreneurs and excellent ambassadors! Cheers!
I love it when you guys give a description of actual life for the locals living on the island(s). For example, I didn't know they have their elementary school students get their instruction on the island. Only parents will talk about these issues, ... most other vloggers won't. Thanks, bro! Wishing you and your family be safe, especially with that typhoon roaring across Luzon.
I just love colt being a nature/ animal lover😍
We really love that about him too 🥰
Thanks for sharing. I'm a Filipino American from California that went to medical school in Cebu in the Mid 90's. I visited and explored with my then girlfriend (now wife) to many of the spots you guys are visiting and then some. Back then, NO ONE was on Balicasag. We used to have that whole island to ourselves and as soon as you dipped your head into the water, you were instantly hit with a plethora of colorful coral and HUGE fish --literally up to 50lbs! I used to surf Siargao back in 94 when there was only ONE resort owned by an Aussie (The Green Room). It would be eerie surfing Cloud 9 and all the other local spots by myself!
Back then, I had been to Thailand and Bali and was truly offended that the Philippines had yet to be "Discovered" as I knew how gorgeous it was!
Obviously, things have changed dramatically!
We were just out there 2 weeks ago and in fact, we were in EL Nido,Palawan at the Seda a week before you guys were out there, I think. Things have gotten so crowded! The Plus on this trip was that the Whale Shark trip was empty --we had all the whale sharks to ourselves! This is my 3rd time doing that trip (we have property in southern Cebu).
Anyways, thank you for profiling the Philippines. You and your family seem to truly appreciate the incredible beauty of that it has to offer! Enjoy and keep having FUN!
I recently started traveling within the Philippines and I'm so glad I was able to come across your channel! I was in Coron last September and I will be going to Cebu next month. I'm sad I removed Bohol from my itinerary but it's nice to see it on your videos. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Isn’t Coron amazing?! You are going to love Cebu, so many great people there 🥰
@@AlwaysBeChanging It is! I stayed there for 7 days but it didn't seem enough! Glad you met great people in Cebu! I'm excited to see more of your travel
Been there few years ago, can still remember that Virgin island so pretty while Balicasag snorkeling was so awesome maybe because they have the protected reef. 😍 Glad that your family have fun, enjoy Cebu! 😄
We did 😊 I hope you can come back and visit again.
Gorgeous Philippines!
I really think Philippines has it all. Stunning beaches, picturesque and verdant countrysides, bustling cities and last but not the least, the most caring, hospitable, friendliest folks in the world.
What else could you ask for?
We agree with every bit of that!
@@AlwaysBeChanging ME, TOO :)
Wow! I love how you make your videos. You deserve a lot more subscribers! Awesome guys! To all my kababayan, if you feel proud and happy watching these videos, don't forget to subscribe and also share this lovely family if you can. Let's show them some love and support as they love and appreciate the beauty of our country. Lez go! (am gonna be sharing them on my social media accounts later 😊) ❤️
We are so grateful for your support 🤗. Thank you 🙏
Your kids are lovely. Brooklyn has such fun and big personality that is totally adorable. And Colton is such a cutie with his love for nature and animals. You’re family is wonderful!
If you like Philippine mangoes, you should come back in April and visit a small but very beautiful island in the Visayas called Guimaras. It's the mango capital of the Philippines and some even say that the mangoes served in the White House come from Guimaras. The island's got very beautiful white sand beaches (more beautiful than Boracay, less touristy) with prestine waters. Prices of food and accommodation are super affordable too. And drop by Antique(a province) too for its Kawa Bath. Its a one of kind experience.
The mango in guimaras Philippines is the most sweetest mango in the world.
@@blairclare9482 Really the kind of Mango we ate is called "Mangga Cebu" or "Mango Cebu" which is so sweet and addicting to eat.
This family puts a lot of effort into their vlogs. Since they arrived in the Philippines, I have observed them, and I must tell that they pursue the most opulent travel arrangements and accommodations. They deserve our complete support so they can go on their adventures while we get to watch. Well done,. By the way, your kids are amazing..one of my favorite vloggers now apart from 8 miles from home,making it happen,kulas, juicy vlogs and a lot more who are loving the Philippines. Keep safe guys.God bless.
Thank you so much! 🤗 We really love the Philippines! We’ve already made plans to come back in February, so I hope you keep watching us 😊
@@AlwaysBeChanging I appreciate your response. You can count on me to do that. I frequently watch your Phil vlogs,never got tired of watching them. I went back and watched some of your past vlogs from outside the Philippines, and I'd advise you to visit BGC and Makati especially Ayala ave,before you leave the Philippines , which are like the New York and Wall Street of the Philippines, respectively. Thanks again for your response. God's grace.
Thank you for promoting the different tourist destinations in the Philippines. ❤❤❤
It’s beyond our pleasure. We ❤️🇵🇭
Awesome videos about the Philippines! I just wish that you featured the people (Filipinos) more than just the gorgeous sceneries and mouth watering foods. The people is the Philippine's greatest pride. Our hospitality and friendliness is what makes the Philippines an amazing place to visit. I hope you experienced this in your stay there.
Thanks. You may enjoy our next episode more, but we're always careful about getting other people on camera since so many prefer not to be. Good feedback, though!
Wow this content travel to our country is really awesome! A mix of educational, exploration, funny (daughter), wild (son) and beautiful videos... even helping local the community! Makes me miss home 🇵🇭 More power to your vlogs and always keep safe!
Thank you for appreciating our content! We really love traveling and sharing our experiences. Travel has helped all of grow as people.
Is just a wow philippines 🇵🇭. Thank you for visiting our beautiful country.
I am very grateful that you become an avenue for viewers to be able to help and support locals. Thank you so much on behalf of all the Filipino out there. ❤
I appreciate what you're doing in providing charity work and providing a way for others to help those in need in the Philippines. I certainly would like to do my part. Thanks for your help.
This travel vlog is a breath of fresh air among travel vloggers that comes to the Philippines! Kudos! 🎉
Thank you for helping the Filipino vendors by buying the Philippine products. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you for touring me to my beloved country.I was born in the Philippenes,actually my husband was born in BOHOL,BUT WE HAVEN'T GONE THEIR.HOPE ONE DAY WHEN WE GO HOME,CAUSE WE LIVED HERE IN CANADA ,WE CAN GO TO BOHOL TO VISIT HIS RELATIVES.THROUGH YOUR BLOG ,AS IF I TOURED,SEE PLACES THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN.THANK YOU! I'M GLAD YOU ENJOY YOUR VOYAGE IN OUR COUNTRY.GOD BLESS YOU ALL KEEP YOU SAFE.
I can imagine you would miss the Philippines very much living further away. We are out of the Philippines and miss it so much already. And we’re coming back in January! We really found so much beauty there. I’m glad you enjoyed our video 😊
Cole really reminds me of myself when I was a kid. I had great interest in all insects and bugs and reptiles. I would read the encyclopedia to find out all the facts about them.
Wonderful American family. I just wish all tourists are so appreciative as you guys. I love your aerial shots and your underwater shots are great. Your info about the locals are so welcomed by expats like me. I'll keep watching out for your next adventures down in the Visayas. Feature the sunken ship of WW2. It's somewhere out there 😅 Be safe!
It's been about 10 years since we have been to Panglao. Going to visit a friend there next week. Taking a boat from Ormoc City, Leyte to Cebu City then a boat ride to Bohol.
I miss Panglao Bohol♥️. Most especially the island hopping and snorkeling. Been there thrice, and yet still wanna go back definitely☺️.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Would love to see your family and even friends to visit other places and enjoy the natural beauty the Philippines has to offer not only as tourists but being kind and helpful to the locals and community as a whole. God bless.
Thank you so much! We found so much kindness in the Philippines :)
Been watching your Philippine travel vlogs although i only subcribed recently. I love how you do your contents. You really study the places you visit. Very informative and thank you for promoting what the Philippines can offer. There's a lot the Philippines can offer. We also hope our local Rodeos, An island full of bonsai trees, during summer a lot of provinces/towns celebrate fiestas, you can also visit the philippine eagle sanctuary and crocodile farm in davao. They have nice beaches in Samal island and Mati. BecomingFilipino is a Canandian vlogger who lives in Cateel, Davao. There's a lot more. Hopefully you stay longer and do a vlog on those not so well known but beautiful islands. Have fun and stay safe! More power to you, guys!
Thank you so much! 🙏 We’re planning to return in January to hit some of the places our new subscribers have recommended. We appreciate all the support and advice we’ve been getting. 🤗
I've been to Bohol and Cebu and I agree with you that Philippines has a lot to offer❤️. I love watching your vlogs, your new subscriber here😊👍
Thank you! Welcome to our channel 🤗
Nice to see your family enjoying time in Bohol. Have fun exploring Cebu , it's good food, vibrant city and more than 1,000 waterfalls.
We loved Cebu. So excited to share that one.
@@AlwaysBeChangingso excited 👍😊. But it's typhoon season. What cebu locals do : enjoy strolling in the malls and Philippines 2nd largest mall SM Seaside, drive the transcentral mountain road above the clouds and fogs , in the evening go to mountain view tops for picnic and witness cebu's sea of city light, nightly food market with live band music , weekend beach getaway or waterfall exploration, karaoke and eat lechon
I love the introduction and the energy.
Feels like i'm watching the Amazing Race
Your video editing skill is top notched. It's in a whole different level. Your vlogs were all professionally done. I'm very impressed.
Please keep making videos. They're truly fun to watch.
Wow, thank you so much!🤗🥰😊🙏
