You should meet with youtubers who made the Philippines there home and lives in BGC like Making It Happen Vlog {he's Austrian}, The Juicy Vlog {couple from UK} and Mergim Vlogs {also from UK} they bought condo's in BGC. They might help you with your decision in making Philippines your second home.

I watched other foreign vlogger that is their observation their channel rising when they are in the Philippines. The truth beyond that is you surely get support from us Filipinos if we know that you're promoting our country by your vlog and we saw that you love our country, you'll never know how much love and support you will get from us. Enjoy staying in the Philippines ❤🇵🇭

Thanks for your honesty regarding why you are considering "settling" in the Philippines. We like that.

This guy is genuine and kind. I hope whatever you decide, I wish you happiness, prosperity, and health. Thank you Ken. Your videos, for some of us busy with family and work, is the only entertainment on a week to week basis. Thank you Sir!

Your nice Guy Ken Abroad? We like foreigners to spend their time in our country ? And maybe you can invite your family to come and visit you in the Philippines too and show to your family 👪 how beautiful the Philippines is.?

This is exactly what Mergim vlogs has done, settling down in a Condo in BGC. It is indeed a no brainer for channel growth, especially in BGC where there is high interest in foreign vloggers that settle there. Do videos around BGC for sure as the views are consistently high.

You can never go wrong with living in the Philippines I lived in Quezon City right on the border of Manila great place

ken, I hope you considered staying or settling down in the Philippines for 2 to 3 months. So that you can experience the beauty of Christmas, New year, and some special fiesta in the Philippines during January. I will support you all the time.

I'm a filipino and I watch your videos I think we support you because we love to watch foreigner's reactions while they stay here in the Philippines. Honestly, if you are not in the Philippines I would not know you.

Ken, I hope you choose the Philippines as your base country because we love having you here! Your videos is my fave travel vlog. I look forward to it every other day. I like it when you just show us your day and interact with the locals a little bit. And we can sense when someone is genuine with liking our country so we really hope you stay for longer!

what does base country mean?

Hey Ken, some of the most views took place in the Philippines due to overseas KZread followers like myself in NYC. If you do stay, there are plenty of topics that you can cover, ie. Food tasting, historical sites, new modern cities being built, ie. New Clark city. I think you will definitely grow your channel in the Philippines. Check out Jessica Lee's 1 million followers recently. I think you will reach the same goal in the future. Good luck.

Let me give you my perspective as a Filipino viewer. I have followed a lot of vloggers that have visited the Philippines and when they left, I found myself not watching them anymore. I continued to find others like you that are now currently in the Philippines. And if you leave and go to other Asian countries, I might look for others that are in the Philippines. I can’t speak for others but other Asian countries aren’t in my radar at the moment. What interest me first and foremost is Philippines, then European countries, and North America. In fact, this coming December, my family and I are going to your country. We’ll fly in to Berlin, then Dresden, Nuremberg, and fly out from Munich. Anyway, if you want your channel to grow, stay in the Philippines for now. Stay in BGC and just like Mergim Vlogs, who also came from Thailand, decided to travel in the Philippines, have settled in BGC and his channel continues to grow. In my opinion, the best place to grow your channel is in the Philippines because like you said, every one speaks English even in the remove places and provinces in the Philippines. If you leave and notice that Philippine viewers disappears, either come back, or go to Europe. That is just my 2cents 😊. I wish you well.

Me too , I used to watch a lot of foreign vloggers that went here in the PH but when they left the country sometimes I'm not interested anymore , because my goal now is to support all the foreign vloggers that are here now in the Philippines , It makes me happy when they're enjoying the country.

I agree. Since we were a colony of the US, we prefer videos on the US and its allies, mostly English-speaking countries too. So if you move to Thailand, Malaysia or Vietnam, we tend to lose interest and look for other vloggers based in the Phils or North America.

Yes, move in BGC like Mergim vlogs Juicy Vlogs. Mergim i just start watching him, but The Juicy vlogs i watch them 3 yrs ago with Making it Happen. The Juicy vlog George and Lucy had their engagement in Boracay , got their condo in BGC she get pregnant and went to UK to deliver her baby and they just came back to the Philippines with their baby Koda, very nice couple.

Stay safe in the Philippines Ken and I do hope you will choose Philippines because there are still many places to visit and explore in my country. Enjoy your stay and for sure living there even for good is perfect, hope you will like it. God bless.

Yes, because Philippines has everything..very lively & not boring country so many many beautiful places to travel. amazing country!

Your thinking process with deciding where you can have a temporary home base was very logical. You thought of all angles. I admit when I’ve been following and watching a YT channel that are done in the Philippines, I am always looking forward to their next vlog. But it seems once the KZreadr moves on and visits another country, I am not as interested in their vlogs in the other countries. I really try and watch though to continue to support that channel but sometimes I am just not as interested and I don’t watch all their vlogs. Philippines would be the smart choice for now if you want your views to continue to increase. 😌🇵🇭

So True....same feeling here.....I follow these you tubers to feel how and what they truly think of the different places and people in the Philippines...be good or bad....somehow you will learn a lot from the vloggers....from their point of view....Filipinos can benefit from all their suggestions or viewpoints....specially the Department of Tourism...

And it makes the views drop, engagement drop.

That would be a very good option Ken. A lot of vloggers have already made the Philippines as their home base. They know that we Filipinos love to see foreigners enjoying their stay here. We are now developing fast as a country and that IMF has classified us a newly industrialised country. We also are very welcoming. We welcone you with a big streched open arms.

If you decide to make this your homebase there will be pros and cons. But the pros heavily outweigh the cons mostly on the ability to communicate with the people and our people are very friendly the cons will be the traffic, internet speed and food. But if you plan well your cons are easily addressed it just requires planning. My main suggestion is to establish a community of friends here in the Philippines and by friends I do not mean limit it to just expats establish friends with Filipinos. Whatever your decision I wish you all the best. God bless you sir

Fyi a lot of foreign tourist are likes the Philippine foods such as adobo, sisig, caldereta, lechon,halo halo etc..Philippine foods are unique & delicious. the food in Philippines is not a problem by foreigners here in Philippines because if they like other foods there have many many international restaurants in the Philippines so many to choose from and there have traffic in Philippines because there have a lots of ongoing construction of Big Infra projects all over Metro Manila sich as new MRT, Lrt express way, long elevated roads including subway train. This will be a big relief in traffic once finished.

Right now Philippines is the home base of travel vloggers. Most of the established foreign vloggers are residing in BGC.

After all your endless travelling in SEA I'm not surprised that you are experiencing such special moments like this to ponder over life Ken.Choose a path where your heart desires and I'm sure there's no turning back for you.Best wishes!🇲🇾💕

Travel fatigue is real and it's why I can't travel for more than 2 weeks at a time -- between not having a gym / cooking routine and also eating unhealthily along with stress, I need to come home to "re-ground" myself. And like you said, it'll make the next trip more exciting. Glad to hear that you're taking a (physical) break to take care of your mental health, and excited to see what your family thinks of Bangkok!!

Ken, festivals in different provinces start on January. I'm sure you'll like it especially the festival of Cebu.

Ken please visit Makati area i know you may like it too Metro Manila have a lot of modern places to explore, please continue with your goal. Pilipinos are very supportive for foreign youtubers sittle here in Philippines.

I'm glad that you're considering a homebase in the Philippines. I suggest doing a colab video with people that have done it. One vlogger I would recommend is reaching out to Make It Happen. He's from Austria and he owns 2 condos and he's about to open up a business in BGC. Good luck.

I love your honesty. If you need to grow your audience yes PH is your answer. But the accommodations are quite expensive so you need to research for best price.

Choose to stay in the Philippines. WE filipinos are very supportive to the Foreigh bloggers especially when they show love and respect and promoting our country. Filipinos are everywhere in the world as workers, and we love to support foreigh bloggers in the Philippines.

Yah thats good idea, you can rent to own condo, try to contact mike of making it happened vlog or mergin vlog ask some opinion from them, bcg can be your base home & travel anywhere in philippines. Filipino loves you & its nice to know that you starting to love the life in philippines . You can collaborate with them & become friends. Theres still a lot of place in the philippines you can explore. Stay happy from ireland.

There are 2 things that I really liked about you man. First, is your honesty. The second, is your purity. Cheers and have fun here in the Philippines my Friend. :)

Ken your viewers not only in the Phils but the whole world because filipinos are scattered around the world with their great influence.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful story, you have an enviable life! I think you can consider going to Taiwan, I believe you will experience a different culture! I wish you all the best and have a great travel, thanks a lot for sharing! 👍😃🙌

Whatever you do ken we are here to support🎉🎉🎉

Whatever your heart desire Ken , we will support you, but I gotta tell you making the Ph as your home based would be a great decision , And you should bring your family here too next year on summer from feb-may that's the best time to go on island hopping and beach glamping

🌈💕We be happy if you will decide to make Philippines your home base…waiting for that day when you finally would say and decide “you are now settled there in BGC”💕🌈💕

Ken, Philippines is a good choice. BGC is a nice place to live whether permanent or temporary. If you like to grow your YT channel, Philippines is the best country among asian neighbors. WHY? Manila has huge YT audience and people are warm and friendly. Also, language is not a barrier. Everyone speak English. Filipinos love vloggers who showcase and admire the beauty of the Philippines. Hope it helps in deciding your future plans. Stay safe and enjoy Manila.

thanks for the update ken & also the hardwork, its a tiring job

Viel Spaß auf den Philippinen. Es gibt so viele und interessante Inseln zu entdecken, verschiedene Kulturen und Stämme, wunderschöne grünen Bergen, weisse Sandstrände mit kristallklares Wasser, viele schöner Wasserfälle, schöne Flüsse, schone heiße Quellen und schöne Vulkane!!

Amazing videos Ken. Yes get base and continue do what doing touring Philippines

Totally agree Ken, find a base wherever it may be, so you can drop you bags and go where you feel best at the time with just a small bag on your back, moving around SEA but always a flight away from base where u can have a well deserved break and time to yourself, we are with you all the way, doing great but we all need time out x

You are welcome to stay in the country. You can check out the foreign vloggers who have found their home here. BGC is a nice place to stay and make sure to check out the placess in Luzon like Ilocos, Baguio, Tagaytay or Bicol.

Great and interesting video once again. Thanks Ken.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

Just subscribed. Yes please stay there. Filipinos love you.

Thanks for this story ken. Appreciate the story telling.

I hope you choose Philippines as a home-based in Southeast Asia. You can explore more in different regions in the country, the culture,the food,the people, and among others. Salamat po, Ken. Btw,the 1st time I saw you is the episode in Sabah regarding Filipinos there. Aja!

Hi Ken, I really enjoy watching your vlogs. That's good to know that you considering moving to BGC. You'll be fulfilled if you can have a place where you can really relax and be at ease, have a calm environment to recharge, and a sanctuary that you can call your home. Consider having a good work life balance in making your decision, whether it is BGC or any city or country you choose. Stay longer to explore the Philippines!!! Thank you for making interesting vlogs!!!

Me and my indian boyfriend enjoys watching your Philippine vlogs. We'll watch your videos from other countries soon. We stay Manila area too. More power and God bless

Ken I agree with your decision to base yourself in the Philippines

You can extend your visa up to 3 years without leaving the country , about a home base Thats what exactly what happen to Mergim vlogs, a British he is vlogging in Thailand and he felt his channel is not growing, then went to Philippines, his views and subscriber skyrocketed and hola now living and renting a condo in Uptown BGC, watch his story and videos, he is also vlogging about available condos in BGC, check it out

Just watching this video for the 2nd time now to understand your story. And as for that, i've been watching all your Phils videos for the past week. And I must say, your video's are different but very interesting. It shows more of the Phils than just the posh sides which is just a very very very small part of the country. That's what I like about it. You are friendly to everyone, you go further than many vloggers. And that's your strength. I surely hope you will stay in the Phils. As a homebase in SEA, the Phils is not bad at all 👍🏼✌🏻.....Mit freunlichen Grüẞen aus Niederlande...😄

I'm your new subscriber sir thank you for showing us our beautiful country just enjoy 😃🌄

I have watched other vloggers who made the Philippines their base because their channel grows exponentially here. So what you are thinking about makes sense. I saw in your videos yesterday and today (Oct. 23 and 24) that you are in Davao. Davao City is where I live and Mindanao is a wonderful place to explore. I hope that you will be able to visit more places in Mindanao in the future. Good luck!

yehey Ken please make it happen. just a bit jealous, please bring your family also here in the Philippines which is less crowded and please help Filipinos gain more tourist arrivals. God bless

Bring your family in the Philippines... i am sure they will love it, coz its more fun in the Philippines. Stay safe n happy vlogging...

Good decision Ken. You have the rights to reject the offer and just buy your drinks in other stores or fastfood. Always practice your rights in the Philippines. Good job !

Nice for you to consider making Metro Manila as your home base for a while :) on another vlog You mentioned how you have not seen a lot of restaurants serving authentic Filipino food, so i did send you some recommendations on your Instagram. Top of that list i sent you is Abe Restaurant, they do justice to Filipino cuisine. Anyway enjoy your time here. We look forward to your adventures

Hi Ken. Super like your contents about the Philippines. Super thank you for seeing the warm hospitality of the Filipinos. You may want to explore and visit Tagaytay. Its an exciting place to explore with the majestic view of the Taal volcano and similar to BGC, you can drop by Nuvali in Sta. Rosa, Laguna on your way. Its just near south of Metro Manila. Have fun! as we say #ItsMoreFunInThePhilipines

Hi Ken, we hope you will stay a bit longer especially that starting January, Philippine festivals start like the Sinulog in Cebu, Dinagyang festival in Iloilo and the Ati-atihan in Aklan in the Visayas area. There is also another one, the Panagbenga festival in Baguio. It would be a nice experience for you and your family to witness some of these festivities whereby they consist of processions and street-parades, showcasing themed floats, dancing groups wearing colorful costumes, marching bands, and people sporting face and body paints. Before pandemic struck the whole world, a lot of youtubers from several countries covered these Philippine festivals.

Hello Ken! I found your channel last week and I really enjoy watching your video.I'm from Tokyo Japan. I've never been to southeast asia.but I love Philippines. I'm taught English by Philippino teachers and they are all lovely people. And also, I love Germany. Before pandemic I used to travel Germany several times. I'm looking forward to your next video! And, I think it's very good Idea for you to move to Philippines. You sometimes need good rest for your spirit and your next wonderful adventure!

❤️😇🇵🇭👏👌 thank you sir

Gluten tag Ken from a new subscriber in southwest Florida. I'm a disabled veteran planning to move to the Philippines ASAP. I have been watching KZread videos about the Philippines for years. I have been watching your videos for a few months and enjoy your journey and perspective. You like BGC as do many vloggers so why not settle down for awhile, get healthy and make some enduring friendships? Enjoy the Christmas season there as I understand it's fabulous. Check out the Christmas festival and Cebu as it's famous worldwide. Have you met 'We Call It Home' vloggers yet? The wife is from Germany. Anyway good luck good health and Merry Christmas

Ken enjoy watching your vlogs man ,you doing great job lots hard work you putting in now you getting the rewards my friend 👍

philippines are fund of watching .always having time to watch especially overseas filipino workers . you will really grow your channel very very fast just be patient . you will notice one day you will reach to millions . you can bring your family with you . filipinos are very welcoming and friendly people.

Greetings Ken. Know matter where you set up base I will always watch your videos, but as you have said before Bangkok is your favourite destination so do what is right for you personally. stay safe stay positive 🙏

Its nice if you go there during night time because you will see the beauty of bgc and the canal as well

Yess your Most Welcome In my Motherland🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

You can spend more years here in Philippines. There are so many Foreign Vloggers fall in love here and got their Philippine Passport just like Becoming Filipino and Hungry Syrian Wanderer and they are so fluent in speaking Tagalog. Afterall there are so much to explore tho.
