loved the video! if youre still on the island making content would love to see information on if there are healthy food/grocery (protein) options for longer-term stayers, what kind of community events/areas there are, gyms, and nightlife (like the different bar for each night thing they have going)! seeing how bali seems to be a lot of influencers cryptobros spirituals russian/aussies, what kinds of crowds come to siargao? last time i was there pre-covy it felt like mostly chill backpackers, cooler than other islands ive been on. thanks joose, always love your content

Siquijor gives Siargao a run for its money. Specially because of its proximity to South Cebu, Mindanao, and Negros. When the infrastructure catches up and it becomes way more convenient to travel between those Islands, then Siquijor hands down is better than Siargao. But that doesn’t take away from how nice Siargao is.

@@JooseTheNomad Still islandy vibe and pristine like Siargao. Better coastline. Blue water waterfalls. Better diving spots. And again, it’s proximity to South Cebu. (The best waterfalls / diving spots in the country) It’s proximity to Mindanao, which has some of the most underrated, undiscovered tourist spots in the country. The more research you do with Siquijor, and everything surrounding it, the more you’ll realize I’m right.
