I did just write a big paragraph saying you should go Borneo and loads of reasons why but I can't be arsed to Wright it again so.... Borneo.

[@DrewsTravels]

An absolute legend of travel vloggers. Thank you Ben for the inspiration to create Drew's Travels, documenting province life in Southern Leyte. The Philippines is for sure my favourite country too.

[@moondustgirl2132]

Not all travel vloggers have the guts to say their favorite country, let alone put it in the title of the video, for fear of offending their followers in other countries. Hats off to you for having the guts to do it!

[@Kikifriedmann]

You both are such a great team! I am happy to see you back on the road again!

[@BackpackerBen]

Appreciate it 😎🙏🏼

[@NJSimpson86]

I’ve literally just got back to the uk last week after spending a month in the Philippines with 2 weeks in Palawan. This video has made my day! Would highly recommend Duli beach resort if you can get up there - it’s a bit pricey but should be double the price for what it is.

[@BackpackerBen]

Awesome place mate! Love it here glad to be back

[@toddburgess5056]

Happy to see you and Kat back, Ben! I'm glad you are enjoying your time in the Philippines, and can't wait to see where else you'll be taking us viewers 😁😁😁

[@BackpackerBen]

Thanks mate! More to come

Good to see you and Cat out and about again! I do hope Cat is feeling better.

[@jkjobies]

So great to have you back! Great to see Kat! You make a good KZbin team.

[@robertpavey5615]

At first i thought, "How has it taken you 44 hours to get to The Czech Republic?" Also, that view at 10:20! You’re living the dream, man!

[@samuelmartin707]

Great video Ben I am sure you will like it here glad you are back. I live here for 15yr years now. I am in Lower Luzon and love it. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!

[@thomasthgersen]

Great video, it's a beautiful country indeed.

[@1mikefrost]

Brilliant video . Nice to see you both again!

[@BackpackerBen]

😎🙌🏼

[@_the_wessex_nomad_]

Good to see you back at it. Giving me the push to finally get out to Asia

[@TravelWithMarti]

welcome brother to Philippines , im loving it here , im sure you will too

[@BackpackerBen]

Love it 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@LobstairView]

Ben an absolutely backpack traveller Legend, he's devoted his life to this activity . Very impressive so many videos, so many countries visited. I highly appreciate watching his videos and Mr Bald's

[@Vile_Entity_3545]

Funny at the start of the video ELO was playing in the background “All over the world” then you got the night bus to London. They have a song from the Discovery Album called “Last train to London” Nice little coincidence.

[@sandhurstwolves3956]

Great to have you back wish i did it a few years back before job and kids came along

[@johnshores4745]

Back in the 90's whilst serving in the Army spent a week R and R in Plymouth had the best week of my life (ok my trips to Pattaya slightly win) spent my nights in a club called Blondes of which there were many of them . shame to see Plymouth go so downhill

[@RR52517]

Thank you so much for your visit. Lovely couple. We really appreciate it.

[@RyanBlackmore-o1s]

Hi Ben I like your videos bud. Nice of you to put the real jungle and prossy lane at the beginning of the video, moreover than you for the Kayak app. I'm saving to do my own backpacking adventures. Alll the best m8.

[@derbdep]

Heyo Ben! Brit-Fil expat here. moved to the PH last year. Palawan is beautiful - deffo would recommend Romblon, Siargao, Bohol, Cebu, and Boracay but you've porbably been there already. One place many non-Filipinos dont know about is Batanes, the northernmost isles of the Philippines - and its one of those transformative places. Its the NZ of Asia, spectacular scenery. If you're in Metro Manila, would recommend staying around the BGC area - its the new ultra modern centre of Metro Manila and has loads to do. Looking forward to see your journey here!👍

[@BackpackerBen]

Thanks bro 😎 up next I go Mindanao

[@vodkadave69]

Looking forward to this series Ben and glad Kat is back to join you 😎

[@BackpackerBen]

yessssss thanks mate!

[@aVoidExit]

The fact that you're a travel youtuber already tells me enough about Plymouth...

[@giraffesinc.2193]

Ah, it is great to see another video from you, Ben, and the lovely Kat! She must be a wonderful travel companion, never complaining and up for any adventure (even Plymouth!). Safest travels and thank you again.

[@BackpackerBen]

She does moan sometimes 😆 we are human

[@giraffesinc.2193]

@@BackpackerBen BEN!!!! A Gentleman never tells!!! 🤣😂🤣

[@raidensnake9471016]

​@@giraffesinc.2193Looks like the Cat is out of the bag 😏🤣🤣

[@williamgamelisenaya793]

Yes man, you've validated my assertion that Asia has the best value for money in the hospitality industry anywhere in the world. Nuff respect for your hustle Bless up 🙏🙏❤️

[@d1daveoh]

Oh ya, get up to El Nido right away. Get a spot on the beach near the edge of town. Set yourself up for Island hopping. There are a few different tour options. Then and rent a scooter to explore. You will love it!

[@Scottphoto26]

Just now catching up good to see you back Ben Philippines looks great the McDonald’s not so much.

[@sicr7373]

Can't wait to follow your adventures in the Philippines, great to have the lovely Kat back again too!

[@BackpackerBen]

Appreciate it 😎

[@richardbrown8881]

The best country in the world Ben My partner is a filipina and we will be back there in 3 weeks for our holidays So many beautiful places to visit...you need to visit the visayas..especially negros as it has the best scuba diving sites in the whole of the Philippines And I hope you and cat are a couple..she's beautiful and you look good together

[@BackpackerBen]

Enjoy mate! Such a great place

[@tberreth33]

Kat, there she is! I’ve always known there was ‘something’ there with you two :) Good to see you back, Ben!!!

[@johnott2962]

Glad your back ben,,and you have the very beautiful Kat with you!

[@TK_mushy]

Please give us more Plymouth content, what a place 😂 glad to see you & Kat back in action

[@BackpackerBen]

Gonna do a whole uk series this summer 😎

[@TK_mushy]

Yesssss check out Oxford road in Reading 😬😂

[@rexxig]

That was the nice part 😳 He needs to show the squalid shtholes of Efford & Swilly 😂

[@undiscoveredjourneys6788]

Yes, it makes Manchester look like a northern Dubai haha.

[@ASBlondontravel]

Absolutely awesome your back welcome bro awesome video 👏

[@alanmoss3479]

You've got a gem there in Kat

[@lonewolf7565]

You should have asked the resort staff for directions. They don't understand center. If you had asked how to go to town or "bayan" they would have understood. Normally in the Philippines when you say you're going to the center, that means health center.

[@jefflim1838]

Or hospital

[@invertedvertigo22]

Hey Ben good to have you back posting on here looking forward to more adventures with you guys, keep safe 👍🏻

[@dt528bmw]

Welcome back. We have missed you.

[@CaroleUCoope]

I travelled around the Pillipines with my family and our Filipino friend in '2000. It is in the less urban areas just incredibly beautiful with lovely people, and a very relaxed atmosphere. It's great to see Ben and Kats travelling experiences and really makes me want to go back there!

[@JP-ln4ue]

Great to see you both on another adventure.

[@Omarshmallow]

Good morning King Ben from Canada! Great video to watch during my breakfast. You guys make a great team!

[@BackpackerBen]

Appreciate it mate 🤴🏼

[@JamesofQPR]

Nice one, both of you!

[@bbwiebz3994]

you should consider yourself lucky ben that kat choose you as her pillow. shows alot of trust and closeness. shes really bubbly charming young lady. glad to see your vlogs. been watching it for last few weeks when i came across it watching other travellers such as yourself.

[@deliahernaez7755]

New subs here .. I enjoyed your jeepney adventure..You guys are amazing !! Ingat ..🇵🇭

[@ZoonCrypticon]

@13:30 Learning a few tagalog words would have been much easier to each the goal of going to the downtown area.

[@BackpackerBen]

Nerd way

[@Emipac666]

Is your mate Bald a nerd because he can speak Russian, Hindi, some Spanish? Nobody expects you to be fluent but you would think you could manage a basic sentence like ‘can you take me downtown’ in Tagalog on your third visit to the country. Doesn’t make a difference to any of us but it would make your life easier and your travels more enjoyable

[@L77kim77l]

welcome back packer😉lovely done have a great time!

[@kbcvisuals]

Just getting round to watching this, you are nuts mate with these crazy long journeys lol. Can't wait for the day I visit Philippines! Waiting for the next parts!! P.s. congratulations mate 🎉👶🤫

[@edglue6138]

My aunti lives in Cawsands Not too far from Plymouth. I remember going the swimming baths in Plymouth as a teenager. It had a decent diving pool

[@joshcowham8668]

You and Kat are brilliant mate. Have a great time

[@BackpackerBen]

Appreciate it Josh

[@ChandChandramukhi]

You are both so funny and looking handsome and genuine. I hope you get blessed and get married.

[@aronjohns4662]

[@aralevonian8391]

Thanks Ben, another interesting video

[@lindah953]

Great to see you back on your travels. You seem happy too. What’s going on ? 😄😉

[@boxcartwilly]

Brutal journey but on the bright side Kat looks more lovely everytime we see her.

[@sirgeorgegachuiri2999]

One day I'll visit Plymouth. I've been to Newquay before

[@ceecee1876]

Welcome to the Philippines! Hope you enjoy your stay mate! It’s super hot in here now summer season! 🩵

[@BackpackerBen]

Boiling 🥵

[@commoneuropeanstarling]

Great vlog and great work, the pair of you. Welcome back to youtube. I've missed you both. It's amazing how you refrain from being so tense and irritable due to the lack of sleep.

[@BackpackerBen]

Appreciate you watching 😎🙏🏼

[@miwaresoft8641]

So glad to see you back traveling, especially featuring your, star Cat

[@junor.2033]

Ben, there's a flourishing Vietnamese community in Puerto Princesa since it was a "processing zone" back in the late 70's to the 80's for those fleeing Vietnam at that time. They were called "boat people" as there so many families crammed in an oblong-shaped boat crossing South China from Saigon to any Southeast Asian country. Some of them went to the US, Canada & Australia and some stay in the Philippines where they married the locals of Puerto Princesa. Be surprised that you'll find Pho in the city. It's almost the same as those I tried in Hanoi.

[@honestrob6993]

HAHAHHA no wayyyy… I did this from Minehead no hotel stops… absolutely stinking journey. Palawans so special tho… Plymouths not bad for a uk city Benji

[@Bigwillz]

It's nice to see you back.

[@BackpackerBen]

cheers bro! good to be back

[@markm3436]

Ben, i think you need to treat Kat to a nice relaxing holiday after all this travelling.😊

[@darylfortney8081]

Wow, great to see Kat in your country and town... how's that going?

[@abdirisakjama6927]

I really enjoy your videos bring more content bro. Keep up for the hard work and nice talking to you and Kat that morning in Heathrow airport before you departed. I hope to see you again bro

[@BackpackerBen]

Haha nice to meet you as well mate 🙏🏼

[@kevinraychua]

Oh, Ben! You are in the Philippines! It’s been a long time waiting. 🇵🇭

Great video. Do you always plan these trips with a strict budget in mind?

[@noellanante8800]

Welcome, enjoy your stay...just ask anybody where ever you go.

Nice one Ben.

Backy Ben & his cute girlfriend Kat! excited about a new series Ben

[@18Ram]

the frustrations of travel. you both handled it well

[@ivayloi736]

Wow, that writing on the door - serve the people, and someone added - LIES...

[@vanninintallinn]

‘Downtown’ or ‘CBD’ works better than ‘center’ or ‘city center’ in most countries.

[@RapJaralve]

My good lad, I felt so ashamed to you and Kat . I haven't seen this video since you aires it. Been busy lately but honestly waiting for your new uploads since the last one in mexico.. Good to have you here. Hope you had enjoyed your visit here once again and have a good adventure. Stay safe. I guess that's sinangag (fried rice) bowl. You should try some local food. The more people lining up means the food is great..

[@alexrenault3620]

Top shagger 🎉

[@BackpackerBen]

[@reginstravels]

500 pesos for that distance in that taxi is overpriced. Hoy, taxi drivers diyan umayos kayo ha. Wag niyo sirain turismo natin. Tip: Always, always agree to use the meter and never their price.

[@Kimvdbergg1]

China would be amazing! Although it’s a pain in the ass to arrange a visa these days….

[@ronaldgosiengfiao9663]

Welcome to The Philippines Ben! I hope that you enjoy the beaches and the sceneries here.

[@BackpackerBen]

thanks you mate! love it

[@johnwhite1832]

Fantastic to see you both back on the road again .

[@BackpackerBen]

[@SuperMarlene333]

Filipinos not used to City Center, maybe they will get into town or plaza.

[@NeonHaze1143]

Hey Ben, you usually mention prices of hotels/food but I think some viewers would be interested to find out how much you spend on various other expenses such as flights!

[@Andrew-cg2zl]

amazing! happy to see back on Backpacker ben. funny video, british humor is funny for american watchers.

[@BackpackerBen]

Best humour in the world 🔥😎

[@Ἀλκαῖος-ο5μ]

It’s good to see back here❤

[@victoriaaletaaustria2817]

Accom. Location HACK: in whatever country I visited, I always choose the one located in the city. Near transportation like bus stop, tram stop, or train station, near where to buy foods, save on transportation fare if coming from far places, and easier to gather bearings and go roaming.

[@will_274]

You’re always roughing it. Makes good content 👍

[@davidcunningham2074]

how lucky he is to have such a cheerful travelling companion as cat.

[@entropyhead]

Showed the bad side of Plymouth. Minerva and the Dolphin are some of my most favorite pubs.

[@gazmix589]

Great vid Ben & Kat, come to Sheffield on yer UK tour

[@BackpackerBen]

Worse than Plymouth??
