HOW PHILIPPINES CHANGED ME - This Is Why I Choose to Stay For Good

[@iamtheavatar]

This is one of the reasons why I love watching your vlogs. Very natural and candid. Unlike most vlogs trying to impress, yours simply share your perspective and it helps inspire others.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Thank you for the kind words I'm happy to be able to share my thoughts 😊

[@jaimefernando731]

Susie you are such a very sincere person by the way you project yourself in your vlogs. Keep it up. God bless you both!!

[@renpinero3171]

Im impressed by your insights of the filipinos simple lives and how it changes your view of what kind of life you wanted and you find it in the provinces or remote areas where simple beauty of the nature lies therein. I guess Philippines is now your home.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

It definitely is! 😍

[@grassrootsflshp]

How you philosophize life in Europe (and in the West in general) and the rural Filipinos hit me hard! So true. As one grows older, one longs back to the joys of the simple things in life such as undisturbed nature and its healing attributes, peace (with oneself, with one another, and with God), and family and belongingness become the only wealth that matters!

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

I agree we need to experience to realize these! I had completely different thoughts about ideal life even just a few years ago!

[@marlonditianquin1117]

I've been working abroad since 1998, I met different nationalities, Filipinos are the most corteous, polite and accommodating people in the world!!

[@carlodurian3730]

About time a vlogger showcase the hidden gems of the North... I would often wonder why the North would not get as much attention as the South. The South have world class beaches but I guess the North is the Philippines' best kept secret... fairly unexplored and untouched. The North's temperate mountain weather and woodlands contrast nicely with the sunny South. We from the North are lucky to have as our champion. Cheers! By the way, I love your 'editorials' about finding happiness in the most simple things. Thank you for reminding us that the Philippines is indeed s beautiful country.

[@donrobillos8056]

so happy for you susie.. that is so true on what you said that filipinos find contentment in what they have..

[@angelotimonera7967]

The caramel coconut with sugar is what we call "BUKAYO" and "atsara" is good with fried fish and chicken or litson anything fried and grilled!

[@enricolegados8386]

Agreed on what you are saying life in the Philippines is simple , thanks to your decision Susie.

[@pcsixty6]

I think you're the only Foreign vlogger in the Philippines that i've seen that actually love atchara, my favorite also.

[@zzzzzsleeping]

Philippines has varieties of landscapes and vibes ... Filipinos don't have much but they are kind - respectful and helpful. I was wondering when a country become rich - people tends to off course and forget others. Maybe life should be this way ----- living less but happy !

[@fortunatomina4323]

There are so many changes in your life since coming to the Philippines. You found the love of your life and most of all, a new home that makes you happy. We wish you Susie, Jonathan, and Pixel a "Merry Christmas" and a "Happy New Year" that lasts throughout the year. Stay happy and God Bless You Always.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Merry Christmas to you also, thank you for always watching! 😊🌲🎁

Beautiful susie in a beautiful place.

[@abelvitug2189]

It's so cool and peaceful in that place where you can really enjoy life in a simple way... Definitely you can leave there happily without involving any great expenses🙂

[@ronnelacido1711]

The Aurora-Quezon-Nueva Vizcaya corridor has lots of barely-touched places with fresh stunning views in the country.

[@dontmeHuwagako]

Try to visit balagbag falls and nonok falls in Real Quezon. One good thing is there are lots of beach resorts where you can stay in the area where you can sleep over the night in case you get there late in the day.

[@percivalemuslan2907]

some of the places in the philippines are cold like baguio and tagaytay and even in cebu they have a place that was cold

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

I can't wait to also visit Tagaytay, love all these unique, colder spots. Especially during Christmas season 😊

[@lizaflores4414]

you keep me impressed by your content you uploaded every day... be happy always Susie and Jonathan.

[@asterespero2484]

If I'm not mistaken that is the Bongabong-Aurora Road. It's a long and winding road. The last time I passed that road is way back 1973 and it was not yet cemented.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Wow, how was it back then? We kept trying to imagine how beautiful it must have been there. Also quite dangerous probably due to landslide but so beautiful 😍

[@vmpineda155]

Another relaxing video from both of you, keep safe

[@tenztaeza3707]

Wow, beautiful place! Aurora province is it? Never been to that place and may not happen in future. Thank you guys. Sussie has been generous in outpouring praises about her experience in and love for our country. Thank you again, Sussie. Invite your friends and relatives in Hungary to come for a month visit with you and Jonathan. Why not.

[@wintersojourn9356]

@Tenz Taeza p.s. Susie has a vlog up in this channel in which she talks about her parents visiting. I think they’re Skyping. Also very nice older vlogs wen her friend visited from Hungary wen she (friend) was living in Japan. It’s good to get the channel views up! Helps the algorhtymn, I guess?! More views, the channel is promoted more, more subbies, etc🙂I really don’t kno anything, just stuff I’ve heard watching a few channels recently.🧐

[@bhello99]

always enjoy you both! take care! ❤️❤️

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Thank you for watching! 😊

[@orlandol.telesforo9597]

🎄🌹💕 Awesome! so Beautiful. 🙏 I hope you are doing well. Thank you for sharing your video. Susie&Jonathan. 🌹♥️ Ingat kayo lagi. 🌈🏝🤙💐♥️☮️

[@lzlsanatomy]

So much potential for nature tourism. I hope the LGU takes the initiative to develop these spots so the locals will have added livelihood.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

That would be great!! This area is a good example... So many beautiful spots just along the road and I'm sure there's way more unexplored beauty in those forests.

[@zaragosaolgajane3922]

western tourists love nature but filipinos builds buildings to impressed the world..why not develope the thousands kilometer beautiful beaches and the hidden gem of the jungles.

[@lzlsanatomy]

I just visited the Gorge in Oregon. It has a roadway designed to provide access to all their falls, viewpoints and trails. This could be done to DRT area in bulacan with multiple trails and waterfalls too

[@conniepascual1236]

Yeah Aurora is so beautiful

[@kingluther9266]

happiness is not found in material things but what is found in our hearts...less is more...💚💟❤🙏🙏🙏

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

I agree 😊

Ur Welcome Susie You were married by Filipino like Jonathan have a blessed Relationship. You got positive perspective.

I always watch your vlogs especially u already adopt the life in the pH and you found the one that you love.take care you both when you travel anywhere.❤️❤️

[@lemnikim7388]

You made the right decision Susie. After all, a home is more than just where you live but it reflects who you are. And yes, Aurora Province is a paradise for nature lovers. I encourage you to watch “ Aurora Province:Treasure of the Philippines “ by Free Documentary Channel. It was this documentary that made me want to go to Aurora Province someday and I watch it over and over again. The documentary had over 3 million views. So, please watch it. I’m sure you will be proud where you are because of this documentary. 👍🏼❤️🇵🇭

[@wintersojourn9356]

@Lem Nikim Ty 4 recommendation.

@Lem Nikim. I watched the doc you recommended. Nice. Noted they showed dining in a restaurant & they were serving …fern! Just as S&J had in recent vlog.

[@hansolo1615]

The simplity is the reason why you easily adopt filipino culture and way of life

[@oliviolanza1933]

I prefer watching your vlogs over those other foreigners. Here you found your love (i wonder who he is hmmm... I think his name sounds like Jonathan, i think hahaha😆) and you made the Philippines your home too, I can only wish the best for both of you, be careful to where you go guys, always check with local authorities just for security reasons and remember we are watching☺️

So many beautiful and wonderful place to explore and it's also so peaceful. It would be nice to carry a can of Quaker Oats, milk powder, cocoa powder, sugar for a quick hot champorado on the side of the mountain. Aahhhhh...... Thank you. 😘🥂

[@percivalemuslan2907]

[@jimtwotowns931]

It's always a matter of choice and preference and what makes you happy....like me, i leave my job just to be with my family full time so i could also do the things that makes me happy which is farming and raising chickens...

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

I'm happy you could do that!! I think it's important to know what really makes us happy. If it's an office job for someone that's ok too! As long as it's true happiness and not just trying to do the "right thing." We also imagine our future farming and I'd love to have chickens and ducks 😍

Aurora is a little bit remote but the sceneries are amazing. You & Jonathan should go to Baler. It's not that far away from where you are right now. It's beautiful up there. Make sure to bring your bathing suits. The beach is majestic.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

It's the best scenery ever, so peaceful! We've been to Baler multiple times I have a few Vlogs on the channel about our trip there 😊 But next time we'd love to use this road to reach it. It's longer and more remote but so beautiful!

[@froilananthony7391]

cool susie

[@AngryKittens]

One of my passions are aquariums. I love exploring mountain streams, because they usually have rare species of fish, plants, snails, etc. My dream is to make an ecosystem aquarium of our native species (barbs, gobies, etc.). Not the introduced ones (tilapia, guppies, carp, etc.).

[@wintersojourn9356]

@Angry Kittens Hello AK, Did you see a big bird passed behind Susie, not flying but walking on the ground around 11:55 time marker? Was that a Filipino Turkey, looked too small maybe…but too big for a pheasant? Does anyone know? Or maybe Susie has more footage of it….

[@wintersojourn9356]

Looked again, it is kinda smaller than I originally thought, maybe a sandpiper type bird?

[@clint9478]

not a bird that's pixel
