I Went on a Solo Trip + Social Media Detox!

📱 After spending three days in Boracay for work (more about that on my next vlog), I decided to extend my stay for three more nights…alone. No checking of social media, no emails and just enjoy my own company. Can I survive a digital detox next time?

Right after watching your Boracay vlog with Angelique , this was recommended to me. Glad that your heart is much happier now David! :)

"Don't compare someone else's chapter 10 to your chapter 1." Words to live by, especially to us millennials who are experiencing quarter life crisis. We're on a stage that we tend to compare life's success of others to ours. Good thing I've already surpassed this crisis when I had a solo trip to Batanes and had a social media detox as well. Guys it's very effective and therapeutic! To all of the millennials out there who are experiencing quarter life crisis, don't give up! Appreciate yourself. Love yourself. And be proud of yourself! God has a plan in store for you. This content is DG's power vlog indeed! More videos like this please!!! ❤

[@PatriciaGatus]

I went on a solo bday trip for my 30th bday and I loooved my alone time even for just a few days! Sarap ng feeling mag isa paminsan, you’re right, very refreshing and empowering and liberating! I’ll definitely do it again 💜

GM was sent to you by God for you to hear those inspiring words. God is great 😊 God is so good to you David. Keep inspiring everyone 💝

[@khalilgibransoberano7144]

Hi David, ano man ang pinagdadaanan mo ngayon, you will get throught it. It’s good that somehow you manage to be optimistic even though you are feeling super heavy on the inside. Sabi nga ni Jessie J “It’s okay not to be okay” but hey, you have your family, Vina, friends and of course us! (your Guisado Fam/Nation). ❤️

[@egai]

Inspite your current status, you managed to be productive and was able to cope up , and realized that it’s also nice to have a proper Me-time and enjoy yourself , Congrats David 😌👍🏼‼️

[@chubbymuego4450]

What happened to him? Did *they* breakup?

[@Freeeeeeen]

Not the typical david g. that i’ve watched from your previous vids 😢 I can see the sadness in your eyes. BUT I LOVE YOU 💙 Aja yan 💪🏼

[@ayhnuggets]

Yay! Social media detox is really helpful, kuya Dg! Been there na at some point sobrang nadodown ka but I read bible everyday para makuha ko yung mga sagot s mga questions ko. Hope you feel good! Dito lang kami to support you 🤗❤

[@angiecabasag19]

I guess best solo travel kapag outside the country 'cause it opens your eyes how big the world is, what you are capable of doing, get lost and finding yourself again❤️ and it helps you know what you want and reveal more of who you are.

[@RomneyRanjo]

awww here's to hoping you feel better - and sobrang gets yung introvert feels na gusto mo lang magchill on your own. l

[@dgmanila]

hahahaha thanks!

[@kevinpereira5243]

Im on the same feeling you were feeling 2 months ago. I also went to Boracay to detox and reflect. I should have filmed it like the way you did it. I felt refreshed and felt better after watching your video. Continue doing this. You don’t know how much peiple you are inspring! Keep it up, David!

[@angelicareyes353]

Hi David wishing you all the best! Kung ano man ung "pinagdadaanan mo" meron purpose si God kaya nya yan binigay sayo. To make you better.. All the way from Antipolo. Ingat po!

[@GreggySorianoGreggysDigest]

Could do a fun collab with Mimiyuuuh? Both of you are brilliant and can style the house down. Like an ukay sesh. Pretty please with a cherry on top!

[@jomaribaldo5582]

I can see the sadness in your eyes all throughout the video. I have a feeling on what happened but I know you'll get through it! God Bless you DG! :)

[@jingjing456]

Jomari Baldo what do you think it is?

[@dauntlesskjcm4780]

Sarah Marijoyce Lagat breakup?

[@neilsebastian]

I have been a reader and a fan since day 1. Now I'm a watcher too (because of you using KZbin as a platform na). I just want to say that you are one of the VERY FEW bloggers out there who really REALLY worked hard for what you are and what you've come now. You deserve everything good that's heading your way David. Cheers!

[@iskabetche]

Its nice that you had a short yet sweet escape on social media. What a very nice "me time" vlog. I'm inspired david. God bless you 😊

[@dgmanila]

thank you! it was amazing!

[@jianadeguzman2074]

I dream of going to a bus terminal (or the airport! 😅) then taking a random ride anywhere... but I feel that's too adventurous for me now. I did take a trip with my cousin at Malabrigo Beach (in Batangas) recently. It was my first travel without any parents/titos/titas. My cousin (who's only a year older) and I had to survive four days and three nights. Thankfully, buhay pa naman kami tapos busog lagi kasi ang dami naming ginrocery. #takotmagutom I didn't really do a social media detox but in a way I distanced myself from my close friends, from people. I had the time to think and reflect... to nourish my soul by being one with nature. Naks! Hahaha. I hope you overcome with grace and wisdom whatever you were/are going through. ☺️ Thank you for sharing this solo trip of yours. Kahit may pinagdadaanan ka, napatawa mo pa rin ako sa "sandcastle" mo. Grabe! Pagkain pa rin nasa isip. #relate 😂

[@ellamaemendez7068]

kung saan ka nadapa doon ka din bumangon imagine your heart was broken and sad ka dito pero ngayon ang happy mo na kasama si ms angelique dito sa boaracay yieeee so happy for you, differrent time and year, different emotions but same place yieeee imagine how God can turn our pain into doubled happiness and a healed heart.

[@lurielleleine]

Hope you feel better real soon, David! ✨❤️

[@dgmanila]

thank youuu!

[@marcmikeljohnmercado1775]

It's okay not to be okay. ✨ Been there than that. 5 months of Social media detox has really help me to become the better version of myself. ✨✨✨It open my self to endless learnings and possibilities. God bless you always Kuya David!! 💛

[@johnleodecastro4145]

Loveyourself na lang kuya David. Struggle is real but Solo travel is about to reflect what ever goes. 💙

[@jeralddelacruz2358]

It's really good to have a good time for yourself specially when you are experiencing problems or something that stresses you. David Guison inspired me to get out in social media for a while and have time to relax without interrupting from techies ❤️❤️ Thank you DG

I hope the social media detox and your solo trip helped you a lot. Everything will be okayy, maybe not now but soon. God bless you David ❤️

[@gincarlorosario3211]

Gusto ko ma-try mag-solo travel! And sa beach lang din... Thank you for this, david 😊

[@gelasantua]

I did a social media detox for a week dati & it helped me A LOT. Sobrang dami kong narealize & ang sarap lang talaga sa feeling na hindi ka magwoworry about what's going on sa mundo. 🤗💕

Positive lang 😀 Social media detox is the best when traveling!

[@paweeeeee4201]

I just stumbled upon your korea vlog video, two days ago, while I was doing my Korea research to prepare for my trip. Pero kilala na kita from IG posts ni Vina, though I never bothered to follow you kasi male fashion. lol. So new subscriber and follower here. Never really thought you'd be this kalog kasi you guys always look so serious sa mga IG posts. lol. Not sure if you cried or something but your eyes looked glossy in this vlog. Whatever you're going through right now, you're going to power through it. Tiwala lang! Looking forward to your future vids. Binge watch ko muna yung old vids at wala kami pasok woooo lol

[@anneguinevere7246]

Hi David! Hope you're doing good, I always watch your videos, visit your website and follow you on social media but for some reason I really felt that this video is more than just social media detox it's also about collecting your thoughts and finding yourself again. Whatever you're going through It will eventually be okay after some time. Stay strong and stay inspired!! ❤️

[@annelauricebrosas269]

[@dgmanila]

omg really???!

[@wananashake4962]

David Guison yes!! one year na akong walang social media 😅

[@leserembudo9608]

Hi David! It's nice traveling alone like you meet new faces and experiencing new ones. And also, it helps you know yourself even more. You'll be surprised that you have this kind of trait that you don't know before and most importantly, helps develop your decision-making and communication skills especially if you will be dealing to people in the restos, resorts, hotel, etc. I did it when I was in Sagada and it's really a great help for me. Hope to meet you soon. -Leser

HAHAHHA ako pinaka una yehey first time nangyari HAHAHAHA

[@karlocapili4599]

I have always done solo travelling to Sagada and Jomalig as they are very secluded, especially Jomalig, even phone network is hard to find on the island so no choice but to do socmed detox. I always find it liberating, doing everything by yourself, you are in control of everything you want to do, you decide when and how you do things. It reminds me how much control I have on myself, so i do it once to twice a year!

[@zihram]

I love your videos! It’s really refreshing and relaxing samahan mo pa your witty side! I always end up with a smile after watching ❤️

[@biawong891]

I have a feeling on what happened but I do hope you feel better, David! :) Time heals anything. I will pray for you always! Take care David.

Noong mga panahon na halos lahat ng kaibigan ko nakakapasok na sa trabaho tapos ako ndi pa. I have did feeling na parang bat sila nandon na ako dito parin? Tapos yong feeling din ni Tatay pag sasabihin nya na mas magaling ka naman dyan. Bakit sila pa unang nakapasok sa trabaho? Meron nang parang hinanakit at lungkot. Tapos ang sinasabi ko nalang na iba yong swerte ko sa swerte nila. Darating din yong oras na ako naman ang makakapasok sa trabaho.. After 3 years of trying in the province para makapasok sa DepEd. I finally let go of what I prayed and fear of. Lumuwas ako ng Manila to say it's my time naman. Now, I am permanently working in public school here in Makati for almost 3 years after I left my hometown. I've learned that God has the best way of putting us in places where we truly belong. Don't be impatient. Trust HIS way. Never compare your luck to anyone. Your best is yet to come even more beautiful. 😅😁

It's a good thing to have social media because they connect us to our love ones, friends. But it's crucial to sometimes do things that we're not used to do anymore like what you have done kuya David! In that way, you'll get to reflect and realize about your self and life. Remember that the best way to solve whatever issues is to cast it all to God. Faith with good works kuya David! God Bless you more.

Thank you David! So inspiring! 😍
