The first time I went to Cebu I did what you are doing trying to visit as many places as possible like Bohol etc, I found it so exhausting and didn't get to enjoy it as much until I took a step back and slowed the pace down. I spent time with the people getting to know them and they all made me feel so welcome as they always do. I have been back many times and not only because it's a beautiful country but also the beautiful people
Here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 all people around the world are welcome a lot of Filipinos are friendly and we treat each other as our family even what country they from ❤️
It is beautiful but u need money to live comfortably, its not as cheap to live in Philippines as what many vloggers make it appear to be. Discounting Travis.
you can live cheaply in the philippines if you eat filipino foods most of the time,but if you are into westerners food then it's expensive ..... but the rent of the apartment is super cheap compare to a lot cities in the world like las vegas,1 br apartment will cost you now $1,500 it maybe more & in los angeles,it's more expensive for 1 br apartment it'll cost you $2K or more,it depends what area you @ ......
the drone clips are mesmerizing. they are so beautiful and very much a province. i love seeing the little tiny mountains "chocolate hills" they are naturally stunning!🥰
btw I'm from Bohol and studied Tourism but have forgotten the whole history of the place, just remembered like a whiff of it, so I searched it and came across this link with the closest historical content I could remember from what I've learned 4-5 years ago about the place.. 😁 hope it helps.. 😊
I was shocked when I went to philippines, I was used to brown desert for a long time and my eyes was just mesmerized by the color green. So much green.
The weather change had me laughing. haha. I can't wait for my trip in August. Hopefully, it is not too rainy on that month. Thanks for this video! The drone clips are fabulous!
I got this info from their official site: Proclamation No. 1037 was signed to this effect on July 1, 1997 declaring the hills as a natural monument and that they are now covered under the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) as the lead implementing agency for its protection. Furthermore, the Philippine House of Representatives introduced House Bill No. 01147 on July 6, 2004 wherein it was reiterated that the hills are a national patrimony and geological monuments, penalizing their plunder, destruction or defacement, and for other purposes. Finally, on May 16, 2006, the DENR submitted the Chocolate Hills of Bohol to the UNESCO World Heritage for inclusion in the list of Natural Monuments because of its outstanding universal value, superlative natural phenomena or areas of exceptional natural beauty. Also, apparently, there have been incidents of mining and quarrying in these areas. I think that's why they don't let people (tourists) wander over the entirety of the Chocolate Hills like Osmeña Peak.
Im am new subscriber just discovere your channel that suddenly pop-up on while searching on YT. And since then i watch your all vlogs from Australia 🇦🇺 vlog u left until ur last vlog in bohol and now this vlog ❤️❤️❤️ i love watching your videos how the way you vlog and the way u talk to people from philipines. And just in your video i see other place which is other foreign vloger dont go like ur vlog in cebu. I hope u have also a Facebook channel so that we can watch there too. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭Keep up the good work and stay humble. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ watching from Doha Qatar 🇶🇦
Nice to see Bohol through your videos, miss that place, I've been going there often before the pandemic for work. If you want nature trails and such, there is a place in Alicia, Bohol (Northern Part). It is called The Alicia Panoramic Park (TAPP), a great place to hike and to see the natural views of the mountain ranges. The views of it can be seen on the road. Great vids keep them coming.
I can only say that you went at the wrong time! You only see mint chocolate! Chocolate Hills is located near Carmen in central Bohol Island. The hills covered by green grass will turn brown in the dry season and resemble chocolate, hence the name. It was nominated as a World Natural Heritage by UNESCO in 2006. In the movie "Harry Potter", the scene of the hero riding a broom over the top of the mountain was shot there. Due to the earthquake in 2013, the main viewing platform of Chocolate Hills was severely damaged and has not been repaired. Now tourists can only go to the second viewing platform to see Chocolate Hills, and the viewing effect is also less. There is a place to play aerial bicycles at a high place near the viewing platform. If you are brave enough, you can experience a flying bicycle on a high-altitude steel cable. 唉~只能說你去的時間不對! 你只看到薄荷巧克力! 巧克力山位於薄荷島中部的卡門(Carmen)附近,被綠草覆蓋的山丘在乾季會轉變為咖啡色,形似巧克力,因此得名。於2006年被聯合國教科文組織提名為世界自然遺產。 電影《哈利·波特》中主人公騎著掃帚飛過山頂的鏡頭就是在這裡取景的。 由於2013年的地震,巧克力山的主觀景台嚴重受損且尚未修復,如今遊客只能到觀景台來眺望巧克力山,觀景效果也遜色一些。 在觀景台附近的高處有一個玩空中自行車的地方,如果你膽子夠大可以在高空鋼索上體驗一回飛翔的自行車。
No, it's not actually wrong season. This season is supposed to be brown hills, because it is supposed to be dry summer season instead of raining. Unfortunately, it's mint green because it's raining recently,due to climate change.
Don't rush on the road, I'm more concerned about your safety than vlogging! Good thing you slow down :) Because of the earthquake that hit the island 2-3 years ago, some of the hills got deformed but overall it was a fantastic sight. You came at the right season where the mounds are starting to get it's brown color
Hiya nephew Omg … you had me and the girls laughing 😂… The bike ride and the weather was crazy but your drone over the hills was EPIC!!! I can hear Nana saying don’t go so fast ! Another awesome vlog 👍❤️ Have fun and stay dry ! Talk soon Jeff and family Dimand
Awesome! The chocolate hills still looks the same as I remember them. If you want to see the chocolate hills popping out of the water, you can check out Sipalay in Negros island just in the west of Cebu. Philippines still has a lot of hidden gems in Mindanao and in Luzon. Hope you can visit them too
Philippines has only two season, it's rainy season and sunny season.. The only difference from any other places is that these two season could occur 5 to 6 times in a single day.
Idk but i somehow i agree to this one. I experienced a place where it's raining and when we and my friends went more on the road it became sunny like you could somehow see the division of the rainy and sunny place lol.
& some stupid drivers too ..... when I was a student, some accidents in bohol island were caused by some stupid trike drivers who doesn't signal when they make a u-turn ..... actually, I witnessed 1 accident before ....
Hi Travis, did you know that you can also rent and do ATV biking and cross along the chocolate hills. If you don't mind, please try also the river cruise in Loboc river or kayaking. You will see ethnics who will welcome you and will give you some presentations. And in the end of it, you will see waterfalls and have some zip line over the peak. Try also Panglao island in Bohol, and see dophins and whale sharks while the sun is just rising up over the horizon. It's the perfect time to see them because of the sunlight that will glitter through the water. Many people will assist you there.
Watching you now. My home province thanks for making a video loboc man made forest. Just enjoy the views of chocolate hills. Watching from Toronto Ontario Canada aldrinnemar vlog.
Hi Travis i am catching up on your vlogs (watching your Sri Lanka ones at the moment). You must try Mango Shake while you are in Cebu!! If you do please let us know how you like it. Also try fresh fruits while you can Mango and Star Apples aka KaiMito... When you come back from bantayan island and would like to experiance local... visit a town called Bogo... its maybe 30mins away from the ship port heading back to Cebu. Go to a place called Pantalan (Pan-Ta-Lan) there is a local eatery there and you can experiance the simple life of the locals and eating delicious and afordable foods.
the motor ride was funny haha.. yeah the weather could be that unpredictable.. but it's ok, you'll get used to it 😆 i really like your vlogging style. you're funny ☺️
Your videos are short, sweet and to the point!💕 I’m from Wisconsin in the United States and we really enjoy watching your videos. We watch Mac and Harry as well. Keep the amazing videos coming! 🫶🏻
The 2-kilometer long stretch of mahogany trees in Bohol is located between the towns of Bilar and Loboc. Inside the forest, you’ll never see the sun. That’s how thick Bilar man-made forest is. If you’re planning to explore the forest and enjoy the quiet, take an extra sweater with you. Inside the forest, the temperatures are much lower. Bilar-Loboc man-made Forest was planted around 50 years ago as part of a reforestation project. It’s a beautiful place for both locals and tourists to relax and reconnect with nature.
Hey hey. it's good that you found your way to the Philippines! From Melbourne to the world! Have loads of fun. Hey there's 7000+ islands in the Philippines so you can be there for a while.

August is a typhoon season so expect that it would be gloomy or rainy when you visit.

Chocolate Hills is one of kind! Nothing anywhere but Bohol!
I think they also have something like that in China but I think Chocolate hills is more beautiful.
