THIS is why we are MOVING to ILOCOS NORTE in 2024!

We found a dream spot in Ilocos Norte that shocked us and changed our mind about moving to the Province.
Join us on an unforgettable journey as we discover our dream house in the serene province of Ilocos Norte, Philippines. Our adventure kicks off with a captivating visit to the stunning Kapurpurawan Rock Formations, where the awe-inspiring white limestone creations and the magnificent EDC Windmill Farm set the stage for our exploration. Amidst the beauty of nature, we indulge in the local flavors, sampling the exquisite Filipino cuisine that tantalizes our taste buds with dishes like the savory Pinakbet, Bagnet, and the refreshing mulberry treats.
Our quest leads us to the charming town of Pagudpud, a hidden gem where the lush landscapes and pristine beaches remind us of the untouched beauty of the Philippines. Here, we immerse ourselves in the local culture, experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the Ilocano people, and partaking in traditional celebrations that enrich our souls.
As foreign vloggers, we're not just moving to the province; we're embracing a lifestyle that's in harmony with nature and culture. From the exhilarating rides through the countryside to the tranquil moments by the sea, every second of our vlog is a testament to the enchanting allure of the Philippines.

    Majority of residents in Ilocos have relatives in Hawaii. Visit some remote places there and you see beautiful houses. Ilocanos are known as industrious ppl.

    Hi, the place is really so nice that the Ilocos Norte province is so famous of its abundance of rice fields, beautiful beaches with wonderful sceneries but the place is well be visited during summer time. For when the rainyn season comes, strong winds from typhoons can really be so disastrous with strong current floods and make havoc to the areas. Aside from that is the insurgents from the mountains like the NPA's that hinders the improvement of the tourism of the province.

    it does look like the beach right below the table mountain; kind a rocky formations next to the sea. Was in Cape of Good Hope January 2023. Just didn't like the long flights from the US. Ilocos Norte appears not so crowded unlike other parts of the north like Baguio. Now you are promoting it won't be long. For the weekend, we are heading to La Union for the weekend from Baguio city.
