It did really make me cry.I can relate how people are resilient to all the walks of life in that part of the country. I'm from the Bicol Region and everytime we are hit by a strong typhoon when I was a kid it's always coming from Batanes Island and if we got hit that strong considering that were way way far How much are those people living in that area.

The Philippines has given me everything my British culture couldn't. I have become a more fulfilled person. I realise and understand the wonderful things of my British culture now that the Philippines has shown and given me something that's hard to put in to words...something my culture needs. The video explains it better than I could. Philippines...stay with God in your heart. You have so much to teach the World.

I came home from the Philippines in early February after 6 weeks of vacation. It was my 3rd trip to the Philippines. And yes. The Philippines took me completely into my heart. It is a poor country in living conditions. But one of the richest countries when it comes to warmth and kindness. It's something we've forgotten in the West. And courtesy. If you are polite to the Filipinos then you get it back 10 times. And helpfulness if you have a problem. Yes, the Philippines is a rich country. Hope they can keep it while they get a higher standard of living.

Finn this has to be one of your best videos. The western world has forgot what life is about. This simple things that can make you happy and content. A little Island that can teach anyone so much about life with Honesty and Reality and Simplicity. The western world is so fake and full of dishonesty. I think everyone should experience the Philippines and what it has to offer. I personally am extremely grateful for what I have today. My 6 visits to the Philippines have made me realize how important family is. Important for my Filipina wife and I. Keep up the great work. Awesome vid.

I know how you feel bro. I met a girl on line when I was looking to eat up vacation time before I retired. I ended up in Bohol Philippines after meeting a girl who needed help putting her house back together after the big earthquake they had. I spent a month there helping them out and one thing led to another and I went back 4 months later, stayed over 7 months, did her visa right there, and brought her back to the states and married her. We go back every year for 2 months or more and I so love it. We've been all over as my wife is a national certified tour guide for the country. I love the country, the people, the food, the attitude, the beauty. It's a great place to go to meet a future wife because the ladies (most of them anyway) are caring, devoted, loving and beautiful. More than once I was approached by younger girls in their 20s and 30s (I was 62 at the time) and everyone there told me that age is nothing to them. My wife is 15 years younger than I am. They are very loving and devoted to their men. The islands offer so much beauty there's not way I can describe it. In many places it's still very 3rd world-ish but this is part of the charm. I hope they never westernize like the USA has become. It sucks in our own country with the way people treat each other, are out to rip people off, have let themselves go to hell physically, and generally are not at all friendly most of the time. Philippines is different. Hell, sitting with my wife in the mall in Cebu one day I was hit on no less than 3 times by younger girls or flirted with and outright asked if I would consider dumping my wife for the her. My wife is beautiful and I'm not that shallow, so I declined. But people are so friendly and easy to talk to. Yeah, it's a hard life there for many of them, but they always finish the day with a smile no matter how little money they might make. They're truly in inspiration to others - especially people from the USA. My wife can't get over how people are here. Pushy, bossy, fadish, snobby, self centered, egotistical, and just generally nasty most of the time. Even the nicer ones are like this. But in the Philippines people are warm, friendly, humble people who care about each other. I wish the USA was more like this. We've helped a lot of people there and given to schools and churches and other things worthy and even helped the destitute on the streets when it seemed reasonable to do so (yeah, there's fakes out there, just like here in the states). I'd love to move there but I'd miss my family here and my kids. But you can bet, the day may come before I die. Glad you like my adopted country. I'm an honorary citizen in her barangay for helping so many people.

Trust me age does matter I hope you don't think they hit on you because you think you are just that handsome 🤷🤷 are you hit on in the states by 20 year olds🤷 it's about having a better life for younger Filipina women. And after years of exploration and poverty it has become custom to marry an older Foreigner for a better life. And before you say what do I know . Well I have a wife and 2 kids in the Philippines I know all to well how most women there are. If she isn't trying to scam you, she is more likely wanting a better life for her kids and family. And you really shouldn't talk down about America!! It is the greatest country in the world. Yes we have some bad ppl but so does every other country in this world. And there are some really sweet down to earth women there too. I agree that that Filipina women are marginally more loving and more faithful in their relationships I guess it's in their culture to be a good house wife. But I guess it's really all prospective!!

I love this country. It is the most beautiful country I have ever seen. Generally speaking, the people are the friendliest, often shy, but if you are patient, you will make amazing friends. Poverty keeps the people humble and in awe of foreigners choosing to live here. Living here, I know a little bit about how it feels to be a celebrity. I often overhear people talking about me- like I am the famous local Americano. I aim to be humble too, pitch water from the river, bathe there, speak the local language, take the cheap buses, etc. The people are shocked. I smile and explain they live a very unique life that I am enjoying experiencing. I live far out away from the city and I feel that is necessary to get a real feel for living in "the heart and soul" of the Philippines.

I think i remember him tellng the cashier to keep the change as he paid for their food, seems like a nice man

@@craigtwa8671 There are some places in Manila that you could find a room of positive things. It is just that the poverty out there hinders to live fully with it. You're right in mentioning the provinces, it is more preferable. I also would like to point out that living in a dirty, chaotic, and cheap doesn't automatically mean that certain place is not safe at all and people are not friendly. It is still a pleasant if you look at the brighter side despite the downsides. I guess you are just a fucking tourist who didn't have a deep research before visiting the country.

@@craigtwa8671 (1) There are a bunch of people in Manila who have an ambition to make a change. The poverty there has always been a cycle. The children that were born and raised in a poor family would surely have suffered a lot. They don't have the privilege and opportunity to get adequate and sufficient access in education and healthcare system, or at least basic necessities. However, despite of the circumstances they are facing, they still can manage to smile genuinely.

I also grew up in a poor family, so I do know and understand the gravity of their situation. When I was in high school, I had to sell Graham balls just to make sure that I would have something to eat for the break time and to buy for my school projects so I could help my parents even in just a small means.

What a fantastic video. Really loved it. I'm familiar with that name Batanes in the Philippines but I never knew it was such an incredible place there. Those stone houses are just amazing. The whole place is so clean and well kept and trim looking it looks like a movie set from a 1950's movie. All the roads and romantic looking paths make me want to go there and explore and enjoy every nook and cranny. This is my first video I've seen of this wonderful couple. I would love to meet them in person as we have a lot in common. My wife is also a very beautiful and charming Filipina. She's the absolute girl of my dreams. We are so incredibly compatible, we're literally a match made in heaven. After 4 & a half years together we have never once experienced any kind of fight, argument, or any kind of disagreement at all. Compare that to American women. My wife is the absolute sweetest and kindest, most loving and caring, most honest and faithful girl I could ever imagine. Actually that's not true, she's more than I could ever imagine. This guy and his wife seem like very nice people. His wife is a real sweetheart, very warm and sensitive. As beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. I like his personality a lot, very refreshing from all the boring insensitive young guys trying so hard to be cool and gangsta. I hope we meet someday!

In the Maslow's hierarchy of needs self actualization and transcendence is the highest which Finn and Sherlyn experienced .

As much as I agree with your post, Maslow is a widely discredited psychologist who plucked his hierarchy of needs from thin air with no research involved. The highest of the pyramid is self-actualization which is basically stating that you have achieved what you aimed or wanted to be. And that is a vullshit logic as majority of people would never achieve that because of circumstances, like many dreamt of becoming doctor, nurses, teachers, etc but by twist of faith are unable to do so. If Maslow is correct, then billions of people were never self-actualized and would end up miserable.

@@pejbartolo2365 that theory is such a broad topic and sometimes we tend to be bewildered. Although i am a professional nurse but I am not a jack of all trades when it comes to Maslow's. Take it as a grain of salt and view that perspective in a different lens. I think as a traveler like Finn and Sherlyn they were able to see their purpose by traveling and learn new things and impart their learning experience to the world by delivering wonderful videos and made an impact to us viewers. I can attest to that because I myself is also a traveler. I learn so many things that i have never learnt from school aside from the medical subjects. As a travelers perspective (my own point of view) our world is such a small place yet so many things to unravel and explore. Once you immerse yourself into that community/place you've visited that's the time you acquire a piece of knowledge out of that experience. I think self actualization does not only mean you need to achieve something like a profession or having a career in life . It makes you as a total person that is happy and gratified in the same manner as achieving something in life.

Gosh...you guys made me cry😭 I’m a Filipino American. Came here when I was 5. I don’t know much about my culture and Philippines. I grew up with my parents teaching us to adapt to the American ways. My parents didn’t teach us much about the culture aside from the food. I can speak Tagalog a bit. Enough to have a decent conversation but that’s about it. Watching videos from the Philippines makes me want to go back and really explore my roots. I went there when I was 14 (I’m 54 now) with my dad but I don’t think I took the time to really take it all in. Although I had a great experience, I felt like I didn’t purposely take it in ,being there, that is. We went to La Union where my dad was from and some of the surrounding provinces, and that was an adventure. Some of my relatives were living in huts on stilts but they looked happy. Love the simple life they live. I think we are so spoiled here in the states. I don’t know if you can say “lucky” because you can lose the thought of what’s important in life...HELPING PEOPLE. Interacting with humans and not so self absorbed. It takes an experience like this to make you realize how relationships are important and life is short. No one is promised a tomorrow.

I honestly cant comprehend why all this Old White People came here to retired and have a wonderful retirement, But No Foreigners of Filipino descent are retiring here?? They got retirement money, they are allowed by Philippine Law to owned property even though they are not Filipino citizens. And Most of the Benefits of being Filipino descents..?? Are they a ashamed of coming back?? Or whatsoever.?

Hi Finn and Sherlyn. I have just subscribed to Sherlyn's vlog a couple of days ago. I think what has grown in your heart while staying in the Philippines is EMPATHY. That is when you see and experience the things that you haven't seen and experienced before while growing up and then realizing how lucky you are for having a life that you have, that is empathy to the life of the people that you are actually seeing and dealing with at this point in your life..

I have travelled far and wide in the Philippines been humbled many times. I'm from the U.K grww up as a child of the 60s and yes there was poverty we had no bathroo, we an outside toilet and a woid & coal fire. Life was hard but it made me a better person i appreciate everything & respect all take nothing for granted. I have met wonderful people in the Philippines and become firm friends with many. The Philippines always reminds me of my childhood hence i keep going back to the PH. I am saying i'm very happy when i'm in the Philippines just sitting in the coutryside or on a small island beech watching and chatting with local people. Will i move there to live, absolutely.

This is the second time I've seen you emotional in your vlog, Finn. 😢 ( The first time was when u visited your mum's resting place) Sometimes we take things for granted, always asking for more instead of being thankful for what we've got. 🙏 Thank you for sharing your experiences. This serves as a reminder that being humans we are vulnerable and not immortal, and that life is short. God bless you both, sending my love 😘💕

No matter how busy I am, I make it a point to just scroll all vlogs of Finn Snow daily. This video is heartwarming and touching the deepest veins & nerves of my body. After being preoccupied with lots of cerebral routine & matters, we need to stop and reflect and be humbled by people & places around us. These vlogs of Finn Snow is my new ordinary routine. I'VE never seen you in person but you have infected everyone, almost, like an epidemic. Making a difference through what you love most, vlogging. We are created but with a purpose. Not all were lucky to find the meaning of their existence. You're lucky,Finn, you've found it and shared it. THANK YOU.

Philippines is a country where you can say that "there's always gems amongst the rubble." Yes, like other countries, the Philippines has it's fair share of disorders and negativities, but there are places you can go and people you can meet that will truly show you the "True" Philippine culture and will let you experience how awesome this country is.
