OMG - I DIDN'T expect MANILA to feel like THIS!?! 🇵🇭

Back in the Philippines after being away for a long timeโ€ฆ and apparently my first mission was to walk around Manila looking slightly confused and emotionally attached to air conditioning ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญโ„๏ธ

In this vlog I explore Greenbelt, Ayala Triangle Gardens, Salcedo, random streets around Makati, insane skyline views ๐ŸŒ†๐Ÿ”ฅ and somehow end up at a rooftop dinner with a special secret guest who starts saying things that made me question whether I should just move to the Philippines immediately ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿบ

Also:
๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ Why does Manila feel different now?
๐ŸŒด Why are foreigners suddenly obsessed with the Philippines?
๐Ÿ’ธ Can you actually โ€œlive like a kingโ€ here?
๐Ÿป And how many San Mig Lights does it take before people start talking about moving to Siargao permanently?

This video contains:
โœ”๏ธ tropical delusion
โœ”๏ธ skyline addiction
โœ”๏ธ dangerous levels of optimism
โœ”๏ธ me getting distracted every 14 seconds
โœ”๏ธ at least one moment where I seriously considered cancelling my flight out ๐Ÿ˜ญโœˆ๏ธ

Here's the link for the first vlog in mine and Martin's new joint Youtube channel, "The Dolce Life":

Peace, love & some San Mig Light ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ˜Ž
