    As a vlogger in the Philippines, there’s a saying if you can win them join them, meaning you gonna have to adjust everything. Don’t let anything annoys you, bothers you or irritate you , you are in a totally different atmosphere , a developing country and different people around you. There’s hundreds and hundreds of hotel. Where you book yours they didn’t give you a good one , apparently that travel agency don’t know much the good, the bad and not so nice area. Try booking another place. Goodluck.

    It's nice that you try to walk away from the crowd. There are a number of beaches there aside from the white beach. the other side of Boracay is known for its water activities and there's also like the inland Boracay where you can find a river and where you can do hiking and other stuffs

      I miss El Nido so bad! Most beautiful part of the Philippines. All of Palawan in general. We were informed by our travel agent and by the locals NOT to drink the water in El Nido. Even to brush your teeth, you have to use bottled water. Prollie a ploy for us to buy water, but we weren’t gonna risk it! lol

    Also heard that they island had to close just before COVID , cause of all what people destroyed in both ocean and on land

    I was there in March 2023, much less people. But now probably better night life. If you can speak English you can travel the Philippines, since most of the younger people speak it well and are thought in school. Boracay you need to spend 4-5 days to really enjoy.

    Since you say you're a mountain guy try Baguio, Sagada, and Banaue. Somewhere near Manila try Antipolo, Tanay [ tuh - "NIGH" ], Tagaytay [ tuh - "guy" - "THAI" ]. If there are underrated, unpopular places I would recommend that would be Abra Province - Kaparkan Spring Terraces. But best time to go is during monsoon season... Also Bukidnon Province in Mindanao, one of the landlocked provinces. Enjoy!

    1) alone - enjoy the nature
    2) with a group - enjoy the company in nature
    I do it either , depends on my travels purpose
    ****
    So far , i havent been in Boracay because of too much crowd and over comnercialism .
    ****
    So far , most of my solo trip , its the less known but amazingly beautiful beaches where its simultaneous relaxing and enjoying everything from accomodation to nature itself. One is Anda , Bohol.

Have you met other solo travelers doing digital nomad work? What sorts of jobs do they do if so? Was just curious.
