KAWASAN FALLS CANYONEERING CEBU 🇵🇭 + STORY OF SURVIVING TYPHOON ODETTE

[@proudlynomadic]

We want to say a special thanks to Micho and Claire of Kawasan Canyoneering for this incredible adventure! You made our time seamless, special, and above all else a lifelong memory we can't wait to share with our future kids one day 🤗 Thank you!

[@michoemarseloterio5407]

Thank you so much buddy...☺️☺️☺️

[@csayson79]

glad you guys are enjoying my home island of cebu for 15 years...i left cebu 2 weeks after Typhoon odette hit cebu city, it was super strong, destroyed so much houses...the typhoon was strong but the devastation and challenges of living the aftermath, no power no water... its was crazy... Cebu has slowly recovered from it though... will be coming back to cebu in a few weeks...

[@proudlynomadic]

@@csayson79 First off, thank you so much for watching our video and taking the time to comment Yannie ❤️. We appreciate that so so much!! As for leaving your city of Cebu...I am so so sorry that you went through this. We can't even imagine the absolute devastation the people of the Philippines endured because of the Typhoon. But we see nothing but absolute resilience from the Filipino people since we've been here and the truth is it's inspiring!! And they do it with a smile on their faces and that takes special people ❤️. We're glad you're coming back in a few weeks and hope it all goes better than you can imagine for you 🤗🤗. Sending you lots of love from Cebu right now and hope to see you around here more often!

[@csayson79]

yeah your welcome…its great you paint not just the fun but also go deeper… i hope i dont get experience odette again hahahah i thought i was gonna die ^^ …. do visit camotes island and bantayan island. palawan is amazing also… thousands of islands to explore… we pinoys dont need to go to other countries for a tropical holiday… we have thousands of islands to choose from… we dont have snow so thats sumtin some people aspire to travel and see in usa canada korea and japan. glad you guys are enjoying the philippines. more power. safe travels around the country.

You are the only vloggers who took the time to talk to the people and interview them about what happened. Thanks for being really good guys.

[@proudlynomadic]

Aww, thank you so much Joyce 🤗. Truth is, we bonded pretty quickly with our guide so it was only natural for us to want to know more and hear from someone who actually sees how Odettte changed the landscape of this country forever with their own eyes. We're just thankful he shared 🤗. Thank you once again Joyce! We're sending you lots of love and big hugs 🤗❤️🤗

You guys rock. Thank you for highlighting just one of the countless stories of the locals. But this is what we Filipinos do, we get back up and go again. And be thankful for what little we have. But as we have breath in our lungs and our family is safe, that's the most important thing. Cheers fellas

[@proudlynomadic]

We have been here for almost 2 months now and we see the absolute resilience in the Filipino people unlike any other and it's very inspiring 🤗. We loved getting to know more about Micho and he, like everyone, has a story worth sharing ❤️ Thank you Diana ❤️

Wow, such a pretty place and such a sad tragedy. We see stories and events on the news and the true impact is so often lost on us. Glad you had a wonderful time! I would be too chicken to jump. 🐓🐓🐓 ha!

[@proudlynomadic]

You won't have to jump Matt, duh 🙄 We'll just push you 😜 lol. You'd have a blast!! And yes I agree. We hear about it, see pictures and videos, and then silence but where it all happened is anything but silence so things do often get lost on us. Thankfully its amazing to see the resilience in people ❤️. - Hope you (and your lovely mother) have an amazing weekend ahead 🤗

[@sandan778]

You guys have shown to me a Filipino how beautiful Cebu is, love what you showed.

[@proudlynomadic]

Cebu is truly beautiful and we can't wait to share with your more and more Cebu and beyond ❤️🤗. Thank you so much SanDan ❤️

[@madelinelindsey2543]

Thank you for sharing this experience and the story of the Philippines. Right now on a lot of travel forums I am reading people saying don’t go to the Philippines it’s been destroy and it won’t be the same for years. Your showing all those haters they are wrong. Can’t wait for your next video!

[@proudlynomadic]

Hello Madeline ❤️. Thank you so much! The truth is, we hear so much about NOT doing something every single time we want to do something that we've realized unless there are advisories against it that we're going to see for ourselves haha. I think alot of it comes down to perspectives AND a large majority from people who aren't even there/want to fear people haha. And the truth about the Philippines...this country is BEAUTIFUL and just as INCREDIBLE even after suffering a super typhoon!!! The Filipino people alone have made a visit to the Philippines worth it and the more we travel it just gets more and more beautiful. The beauty os this country is so much more than the pristine nature and that's what we truly enjoy and want to share with everyone! It's that cliche stance of imperfection is perfection haha. Also, sorry for the long comment. I (Will) talk alot I guess 🤣🤣. Again, thank you for watching and we're so excited to see you around here more and more 🤗❤️

[@Robbo240]

@@proudlynomadic It’s true the country suffered a lot because of the typhoons and nature is not what it once was. Thank you for choosing the Philippines anyway. Spending your money in the country and making these vlogs help the local tourism more than you think. 🥺🙏🏽

Jose’s facial expression while eating balut is priceless, lol. I’m a Filipino and do not have the courage to eat it anymore. Awesome canyon and waterfalls.

[@proudlynomadic]

Hahaha let’s just say after that day, I (Jose) buried that moment deep inside my memory. It was quite the experience but happy I was able to take part on what is the norm for many. Props to the little kids standing besides me who were just chowing down on the baluts hahahaha.

The color of the water really fvcked me up? it was like a in the movies!!. I am shookt😍

[@proudlynomadic]

@AL Rayyan Media PH literally 😍😍😍😍

[@charlottejennifferdomingo4279]

Despite what happened to us in Typhoon Odette, one of the traits of Filipino is we still learn to smile. We still learn to look at the bright side of life. We are alive. Yes, some lost their homes, but they are safe, their family is safe. That's the most important thing in the world.

[@proudlynomadic]

😍😍😍 you are some of the most incredible people we have ever met!!! ❤️

[@twocarrollsinwonderland]

😂😂😂 Jose: “We are effing crazy” You both looked so nervous on the trek there! Micho’s story 🥺🥺🥺 resilience is the word that keeps coming to mind. I want to hug him! But also his job just pushing people off cliffs… how do I get that job? 😁 Will, you and I are going to be the emotional messes together! The stories, the hardships and recoveries. We visited the Gulf Coast a couple of years ago. Everywhere you look is remnants of devastation from hurricane damage. But also everywhere you look is growth and rebuilding. I’m always touched and fascinated by peoples ability to pick up and move on in the face of disaster. I love everything about this video! You two are truly in your element 🥰 this new country suits you! Thanks for sharing it with all of us 😘

[@proudlynomadic]

We are ABSOLUTELY going to be sobbing babies together I can already tell 🤣🤣 Poor Brin and Jose 🤣. But that's fine, at least we'll have each other! And we agree, the hardships, the stories, and the absolute resilience of people when faced with devastation is so inspiring and makes you want to be just as strong. I will forever be a firm believer there is just so much more good and unity in the world than bad and dividing and we see it every single day. And thank you for that! Truth is, we've felt in our element since being here. We can't put it into words really it's just a feeling and ease. Thanks for watching and commenting beautiful 🤗❤️. We hope you and Brin have an amazing weekend!

[@marierocher4422]

You’ve got so much empathy on people around you. It’s not only on tour bloggers. Thank you. 👍. Enjoy your foods.

[@proudlynomadic]

Hi Marie 🤗❤️. We are both very empathetic people and love to get to know people beyond the surface. I've said it before but it's the people who have led us on these adventures who have made them truly memorable!!! Beyond the natural beauty of where we are they've made it what it is and for that we're thankful! Plus, the Philippines were hit less than 4 months (at the time of the filming) before all of this and I think people forget this and take it for granted. Again, we all have a story, we've all been affected by something, and it's great to remember that and be an outlet sometimes 🤗. So thank you so much Marie!!! We truly appreciate it 😍

[@marierocher4422]

@@proudlynomadic the Philippines has lots of typhoons a year plus other natural disaster. Filipinos are aware of it but Mother Nature also knew how to compensate. Their resilience is so strong and that strong family unity helped a lot. Due to the natural catastrophe Filipinos are sharing what ever they have, helping each other that became part of the culture and smiling. All things will pass ☺️. Enjoy and along the way brings memories.

[@MeetTheNomads]

Yay, you done it. We loved this it was an experience that will remember for a lifetime. We’ll done for the talking about the typhoon it’s amazing how humble the people are about such devastation. Thanks for sharing your experience. There are so many more cliff jumps to do as you travel around you’ll going to love it. Where are you guys heading next?

[@proudlynomadic]

You guys are the best! We agree, it's an absolute experience you will never forget!! And thank you so much! We can't wait to find more cliffs to jump haha ❤️ As for next...we are literally in the process of trying to figure that out now hahaha 🤣. We did go yesterday for our visa extensions so we have that out of the way (took 2 hours but that's because the power went out 6 times while we were there waiting 😱). Hope you're all having an amazing Saturday so far ❤️

[@MeetTheNomads]

@@proudlynomadic it’s awesome you sorted your visa, a lot less hassle than Thailand for sure. We are in a bunch of small islands just north of Boracay at the mo, we trying to get to Coron without the need of flying which is proving difficult but not impossible. Hopefully be there in week or two before we head to Palawan. I think from there we go north, maybe rent a car and tour Luzon before finishing up in Siargao. Enjoy your weekend.

[@proudlynomadic]

@@MeetTheNomads Coron is on our list for sure but I believe we might check out Negros first, then Palawan, and a few others before making our way there. But we change our minds almost daily so who knows 🤣. As for getting to Coron without flying...that would be great!!! I hope you guys find that way. And thank you, you guys too ❤️

@@proudlynomadic just a heads up we made it from Cebu to Boracay without flying and if you do that please please please check out Gigantes islands as a day trip (obviously we have a video, hahah) but my god they were amazing, Boracay is beautiful but super busy but again beautiful. I know of few creators head over soon so we might to a big meet up, I’ll let guys know. Big hugs.

Aww, thank you for watching!! We are both very empathetic beings and the truth is that all of these adventures are fun and incredible but it's the people who have led us on them who have made them memorable!!! With that comes getting to know them much more beyond the surface smiles and that's when you hear stories like Micho's and others. Plus, we are partaking in adventures that were very hardly hit by the natural disaster not that long ago. i think people need to be reminded of that. It's beautiful and fun but it's soooo much more! So thank you for this we really appreciate it!

[@allansoria3478]

You guys have a great unique content , including local stories, interactions with the locals and appreciating the culture. Unlike many tourist vloggers I watched which mostly just focus on the fun adventures. Keep it up and may you truly enjoy the rest of your stay in the country.

[@proudlynomadic]

Wow, thank you so much for this Allan ❤️. Reading this comment made our day and made both of us smile haha! We really have a great time filming all of our adventures together but the most crucial part of anything we do when traveling is making sure we never lose sight that we are partaking in THEIR culture and in their home! The people make anything and everything great! Everything else is just the icing on top of the cake. So thank you so much for this comment, it truly means a lot to us both!

Wow, thanks Thomas!!! And I hope you too can go canyoneering one day. We might not know you personally (yet) but we think you're the type of person (all about having fun and experiencing life...and maybe a little crazy like us lol - in a great way!!!) that would most certainly love this! Plus, when you have a guide like Micho you already feel empowered and motivated to do it so it makes it easier!!! Thanks for watching buddy and we hope you have an amazing weekend ahead ❤️🤗

[@jaybirdsong_23132]

[@ij2793]

just getting a chance to finally watch your vlog and I really enjoy it! A big difference (and a massive plus) in this vlog is how you guys are able to empathize and share the local’s stories rather than just being a vessel for your enjoyment. One of my issues with vloggers in the past was the lack of understanding of culture and nuances that make our culture and our people different. Thank you for showing that side and actually showing a side that people don’t usually see.

[@proudlynomadic]

Wow, thank you for this I J! The truth of the matter is the moment we came to the Philippines we were so excited to do this and everything else. And while that was (and still is) true what we quickly discovered is the Filipino people are a completely different breed of human (in the best way possible). They not only made us feel loved, understood (and it goes beyond language), but welcomed and like our time meant something. Like they were enjoying our time with them as much as we enjoyed theirs and no matter what we would always find something to connect on: and that's the human experience. And as silly as that may sound I think it shifted our focus from just enjoying the adventures for ourselves to even more curiosity of those who were with us (and beyond)! We wanted to know their stories, hear in their words, and whatever else they wanted to share and we ended up enjoying them just as much, and genuinely more, than the adventures we were on. We're very sensitive people (not in a negative way) and maybe even overly empathetic (mostly me, Will lol) so it was easy for us to want to know more and realize very early on that our greatest adventures were getting to know the people of the Philippines and their cultures and their, as you stated, nuances. THAT is what keeps us here, not the beautiful epic Mother Nature (though that helps 🤣) but the people! For us, their stories are just as important to share as ours are 🤗 Sorry for the long response haha. But thank you for this, it made the both of us light up! Sending you lots of love and big hugs 🤗❤️🤗

[@zzzzzsleeping]

You know why the Philippines is so beautiful?? The constant changed of the weather, the environment, the destruction of the old and new beginning of the new as well as the constant renewal of natures. Volcanic eruptions, the super typhoon, flood, earthquakes and constant rainfalls made the difference. But the people ? THEIR SMILES NEVER CHANGE EVEN AFTER THE CATASTROPHIC EVENT.

[@proudlynomadic]

This is an incredible way of putting it zzzzsleeping ❤️. Thank you so much for that! We can just feel the absolute kindness of the Filipino people every single day and we're beyond thrilled to be here! Thank you!

[@JP-hj1il]

that's the most silver lining to look at things. however, just like in the Gulf Coast of the US. the devastation is egregiously dangerous and devastating because of the corporations'( in the PH oligarchy families)deforestation of the area for their own profit, in which those trees, plants would have done what they were made for i.e. to stop flash floods, break the speed and size of the typhoon, hurricane etc. mother earth knows exactly what she created in different areas of the world. it's the greedy psychopathic people that are destroying the planet which affects masses of poor people that they don't care about. People in the Phillipines need to start fighting your oligarchs if y'all don't want islands being submerged under water in a few years, which are already happening in the Pacific and globally. just my 2 cents.

We don't have fear of heights (esp me, Will) BUT there is always that 'what if' thought that seems to get ahold of me before things that can freak me out but thankfully our guide Micho made that disappear almost immediately!! And yes, we've gained a few subscribers and that's great ❤️. Would we like to see the 5K+ like we've seen a few other KZbinrs get since being here in the Philippines?...absolutely BUT what we do truly appreciate are the bonds/relationships we build with those we do have (like you) so we walk away feeling successful and smiling still! ONE DAY STEVEN we'll get there haha 🤣❤️ We know it. Until then (and even after) we'll just keep trying to get better and better and share our stories with you all!

Hiya Will and Jose, what a wonderful experience. Great video. The Typhoon was scary. Saw lots of terrible stories of loss of life and property. Also, I follow so many great channels. That has been amazing for helping the people and communities. The Filipino people are so lovely. No matter what, they always have a smile. Can not wait to see more of your adventures. Love you guys. Have a wonderful week. 🥰🤗

Aww, it's hard to not hear him talk and feel the emotion talking about this devastation of the typhoon. We're just happy he was so open with us to talk about it because the last thing we EVER want to do is make people re-live something they didn't want to. Micho was and is an absolute sweetheart and the best part of the day is we walked away with a friend!!! Thank you for always watching and commenting and supporting us Jo.

I was in tears watching this video when Nico shared his story. I have been watching foreigners visiting the Philippines now who also did the canyoneering and all of this tour guides have their share of story with their experience during the typhoon that hit Cebu and other parts of the country in Dec 2021. You can see the devastation plus of course the pandemic just made these people suffer even more than the rest of the people in the country. Thank God everything is slowly getting back to normal.

[@proudlynomadic]

It truly does pull at the heart strings. But the incredible thing is the smiles and absolute love they radiate even after suffering such destruction and hardships. It's inspiring to be honest and it just makes us appreciate and love them more!! Here's to incredible recovery and growth for anyone and everyone affected by the pandemic and typhoon Odette ❤️

How deep are the waters?

[@proudlynomadic]

They were average 6+ meters to 10 meters +. Depending on which jump. Unfortunately the water was in fact shallow at the highest jump making it impossible for us to swim. The typhoon pushed lots of trees and debris in its path blocking the water from really flowing in 😭.

that was amazing, but im just i little bit concern when it starts to rain and you guys still didnt get out of the river. it could have flooded strong any moment and thats fatality

Fair enough to be worried. The great news is they assured us they are always on top of the weather so any once of trouble they do not move forward. They also have exits at every waterfall and one guide will climb to the top to always be on lookout below for the others should something come that way 🤗. Thank you so much for watching buddy!!!
