Hi Joose, we're loving your content so keep up the awesome work! Me my wife and daughter are planning on a 6-12 month trip around Asia and we would love your guidance on where to start and finish so we don't waste time, money and miss the best experiences. We look forward to hearing from you :))

I went to Angeles City when I went to the Philippines but next time I would love to visit one of the beautiful islands as far as the foods concerned out of all your vlogs the food in Vietnam seems to look the best 👌

You should! Food is best in Bali, then Vietnam I'd say. There's also some really good food here tho😊

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@JooseTheNomad 😀

[@X3MAntics]

Siquijor gives Siargao a run for its money. Specially because of its proximity to South Cebu, Mindanao, and Negros. When the infrastructure catches up and it becomes way more convenient to travel between those Islands, then Siquijor hands down is better than Siargao. But that doesn’t take away from how nice Siargao is.

[@JooseTheNomad]

What's so nice in Siquijor?

[@X3MAntics]

@@JooseTheNomad Still islandy vibe and pristine like Siargao. Better coastline. Blue water waterfalls. Better diving spots. And again, it’s proximity to South Cebu. (The best waterfalls / diving spots in the country) It’s proximity to Mindanao, which has some of the most underrated, undiscovered tourist spots in the country. The more research you do with Siquijor, and everything surrounding it, the more you’ll realize I’m right.

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@X3MAntics yeah but all that is for travel. I'm looking for places that are nice for longer stay, live and work😊

[@X3MAntics]

​@@JooseTheNomad Siquijor is very livable. But yes Siargao is more developed atm. It's the hot girl in the club rn, got a good vibe there, lots of developments going on. But again, that could very well change when Siquijor's infrastructure catches up. It's just strategically poised for tourism / leisure living.

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@X3MAntics yeah I mean even Siargao is not developed enough for long-term yet😄 But yes maybe one day there's more islands that are good for living!

[@TopMrM01]

Hey @JooseTheNomad - Where do you recommend the best place as a digi nomad to be in October in SEA? I've been looking at Da Nang but heard it flooded pretty bad October to December the last few years.

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yeah that time I'd definitely not go there. I'd definitely go to Canggu, Bali that time😊

would you recommend a cheaper place to stay there?

I literally moved here for 1 month because I watched your videos. But you missed one thing might surprise people. You need to have return ticket booked/photoshoped before you enter Philipines. They'll ask for it on airport.

[@JooseTheNomad]

Nice! How did you like it? There's a website to get a temporary legit ticket too but I'd think they would let someone in if you say you will extend the visa in immigrstion but aren't sure yet about the exact date leaving?

[@dailydream4390]

[@floren879]

Love Siargao

[@JooseTheNomad]

Me too!

[@RicherThanIeverbeen]

Siargao looks amazing. The only area they seem to be lacking in is the villas/apartments etc. Bali has way more options so Im still deciding which one to pick.

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yeah exactly! It's the biggest problem here but generally at least for me Bali is much better for a longer stay still because it's more developed. But, if you emjoy simple-living in a smaller place then this could be better!

[@lynndavid1066]

Nothing is new, just same thing ❤

[@The14roscoe]

You are still alive, so I’m assuming the answer is yes, but I’ll ask anyway. Uncooked veggies in SE Asia, are they ok to eat? Ever had any issues?

[@JooseTheNomad]

I only had issues with it in Bali tbh, nowhere else. And even in Bali I ate them a lot without problems, just sometimes but the problmes where quite agressive sometimes so I'd be careful over there😄
