Foreigners SHOCKED By FILIPINO WELCOMING PRIDE We Were Blown Away By This
As foreigners living in Asia it is always an unknown what kind of welcome you might expect. Since deciding to stay here in the Philippines we have been shocked by the Filipino welcoming pride and genuine hospitality that we have encountered.
In today's video we explore Surigao's beautiful natural coastline and meet some very interesting people. We even stumble upon an inspirational Filipina that shows us what it means to follow your dreams and don't procrastinate. We were blown away by this.
This is the start of our story. Our 'New Normal' and new future. We are moving to the Philippines for a new start and this is day 71 of our Philippines Daily Vlog which will document what life is like for a British Family trying to work out life in this very exotic and beautiful country.
Our names are Jmayel, Sacha & Story. We traveled to Siargao island with Jmayel's mum & Story's grandma just before the Global pandemic that sent the whole planet into quarantine. We got stranded for over 3 months and fell in love with island life, now we want to make that life more permanent.
Follow us on this journey :-)

This is how childhood should be like, full of awe and innocence and radiance. Safe from the crutches of man-made realities built in technology that rots the mind. Watching Story brings so much smile and joy in my heart and I wish every parent would be inspired by you guys in enriching the lives of their kids to what is really more valuable.
Story will, one day, look back to these vlogs and hopefully realize that the best times of her life were spent with her parents, in a very far away place, and surrounded by strangers who make her and her parents feel that they are very much welcomed and loved.

Hello guys have a nice day. story is a pretty smart girl.enjoy ur vacation.keep safe❤

Awesome video..
Such an adorable daughter...very nice fam..in a place called paradise.
These look to be an eye-opener for us that there is so much that the Philippines has to offer, considering there are 7400 islands! All my life, while in the Philippines, I only have been to the Tagaytay Batangas area and Cavite. I have never been too other places down south. The following daily vlog will be a great experience for us, seeing beautiful places down south of the Philippines. Keep it coming, will you? Cheers to Story for making her 600 stairs step!! Wooh! Hooh! We love it.!

im so jealous. a friend of mine appeared and took a photo with you guys omg.
Wow! That's a beautiful place, I love those pebbles it's nice to put them your backyard garden. Story is such a strong little girl and manage to climb that stairs up hills. Other girl should have asked Jay to carry her throughout. The more you stay longer in this place the more you'll be recognized by not just the local people but the whole Philippines as your audience is growing every day in the blogging community. Hopefully you continue enjoying your journey and you don't experience the other side of the coin, what I mean there are bad elements as well everywhere so I pray🙏🙏🙏that everything goes well while you're in the island. Keep safe always specially STORY, she's always adorable and funny.👌 😀 🇵🇭
