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.
WOW na wow
For sure some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve seen in your vlog! ❤
Welcome to ilocos😱😱😱🥰🥰🥰🫶🫶🫶❤️❤️❤️we love you both 💓💓💓
ilocos trip is my favorite..and i really want to go again.

Thank you for really making things happen in Ilocos Norte...and in the rest of the Philippines you've been to... All the Best... Wonderful Couple...😊
We had our Ilocos trip last 2015 and that was the greatest experience and good memories to remember.
I really enjoyed watching this iloccos vlog , you were in a company of fun loving vlogers, you and gray blended very well w the group .
Ilocos is a very nice place to live
Nice move mike make the north boom with tourist be the first vlogger to do that
Wow!
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.
Awesome place, hope to visit someday and who knows build a home too! ❤
Another beautiful vlog ❤😊😮
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.
Favorite province of all time! ❤❤

Amazing place guys. Luv it.❤️
Been there up north, I like the old churches we’ve visited, like 14 during lent for the station of the cross. Like paoay, nuesta señora de asunción. We also visited the light house and vigan. Try some of their native delicacies like, empanada, longanisa and their bagnet.

Did you know that Ilocos Norte is so close to Taiwan you can pickup Taiwanese Radio Station there already? You should try their Longanisa. Not sweet, Garlic Longanisa.. Delicious.

Hi Chris - good evening
Hawaii's tradition is very much the same, that is, offering of Flowers. You'd think who started which? Hawaiians or the Filipinos who migrated there.
The Armstrong family has been building houses in Ilocos for ex pats. Maybe you would be interested to contact them?

SIARGAO still the best.
good for you because ordinary tourists are not allowed to be near that stone when we went there (ask the Tourism office) hence, its not worth the effort & costs going in that particular spot .. the rest are okay .
Pinakbet origin is in Ilocos Region
I'm glad you refused to ride those poor horses. They are too small even for an average size person.
That is Ilocano food
You guys are over acting like slapstick comical cartoons characters 😂 dude calm down man
Those windmills ruin the view of the areas they are in! Ugh!
The, worst place to stay. People can't be trusted
Welcone to Ilocos Norte, enjoy sa aming province
