I Returned to my Favourite Country 🇵🇭
I began the journey from hell from my home town in England to one of the greatest countries in the world, the Philippines! However in order to get there I had to embark on a 44 hour journey with 3 flights, many busses and zero sleep, it was a killer journey. Despite that brutal travel I am sure it will be worth it as i return to this paradise country for my 3rd time, welcome to the Philippines 🇵🇭

I did just write a big paragraph saying you should go Borneo and loads of reasons why but I can't be arsed to Wright it again so.... Borneo.
Portugal must be one of the greatest countries, judging from how good natured Kat is. She’s a real star!
Kat is a ray of sunshine in a gloomy world
Not all travel vloggers have the guts to say their favorite country, let alone put it in the title of the video, for fear of offending their followers in other countries. Hats off to you for having the guts to do it!
An absolute legend of travel vloggers. Thank you Ben for the inspiration to create Drew's Travels, documenting province life in Southern Leyte. The Philippines is for sure my favourite country too.
Ben an absolutely backpack traveller Legend, he's devoted his life to this activity . Very impressive so many videos, so many countries visited. I highly appreciate watching his videos and Mr Bald's
Great to see Kat back in the videos.
So great to have you back! Great to see Kat! You make a good KZread team.
Good to see you and Cat out and about again! I do hope Cat is feeling better.
Hey Ben good to have you back posting on here looking forward to more adventures with you guys, keep safe 👍🏻
Good to see you back at it. Giving me the push to finally get out to Asia
I’ve literally just got back to the uk last week after spending a month in the Philippines with 2 weeks in Palawan. This video has made my day! Would highly recommend Duli beach resort if you can get up there - it’s a bit pricey but should be double the price for what it is.

We Filipinos use the term "Center" as Hospitals, Medical Centers, Public Clinics. No wonder Locals are confused when you say where is the Center & Mcdonalds

Welcome to the Philippines from a fellow plymothian. Made that same trip many times as my wife is also fron palawan. Just for info you are in puerto princesa, palawan is the whole island! Try and visit baywalk in the early evening to enjoy some proper street food and live music. Unfortunately you didn't get anywhere near to the centre of puerto! 😂 places to visit if you can: underground river, el nido, Honda bay and San Vicente. Was there for last Christmas and miss it, nice to see some familiar places. Enjoy yourselves. 👍 ❤
Hi Ben I like your videos bud. Nice of you to put the real jungle and prossy lane at the beginning of the video, moreover than you for the Kayak app. I'm saving to do my own backpacking adventures. Alll the best m8.

Heyo Ben! Brit-Fil expat here. moved to the PH last year. Palawan is beautiful - deffo would recommend Romblon, Siargao, Bohol, Cebu, and Boracay but you've porbably been there already. One place many non-Filipinos dont know about is Batanes, the northernmost isles of the Philippines - and its one of those transformative places. Its the NZ of Asia, spectacular scenery. If you're in Metro Manila, would recommend staying around the BGC area - its the new ultra modern centre of Metro Manila and has loads to do. Looking forward to see your journey here!👍

Is your mate Bald a nerd because he can speak Russian, Hindi, some Spanish? Nobody expects you to be fluent but you would think you could manage a basic sentence like ‘can you take me downtown’ in Tagalog on your third visit to the country. Doesn’t make a difference to any of us but it would make your life easier and your travels more enjoyable
Love your travels ❤

You should have asked the resort staff for directions. They don't understand center. If you had asked how to go to town or "bayan" they would have understood. Normally in the Philippines when you say you're going to the center, that means health center.

Ben, there's a flourishing Vietnamese community in Puerto Princesa since it was a "processing zone" back in the late 70's to the 80's for those fleeing Vietnam at that time. They were called "boat people" as there so many families crammed in an oblong-shaped boat crossing South China from Saigon to any Southeast Asian country. Some of them went to the US, Canada & Australia and some stay in the Philippines where they married the locals of Puerto Princesa. Be surprised that you'll find Pho in the city. It's almost the same as those I tried in Hanoi.
I travelled around the Pillipines with my family and our Filipino friend in '2000. It is in the less urban areas just incredibly beautiful with lovely people, and a very relaxed atmosphere. It's great to see Ben and Kats travelling experiences and really makes me want to go back there!
