Paradise on Earth, Philippines...Trekking to Mananom Springs

Cooling off in the mananom springs, just off the Pulangi River

[@junlab2612]

I'm filipino, even me was amazed how beautiful our country is! ☺️♥️🇵🇭

😊

[@bartoszk4812]

Lovely swimming in the fresh water, especially in that kind of heat 😊👍

[@alan4x]

Yes, thanks, it was wonderful

[@paulfish5074]

Really enjoy your videos Alan. Respect for making a huge move. It looks a beautiful country. In a world where money, technology, rat race and material possessions dominate, it is so refreshing to just observe life's basic qualities. Nature. Lovely people and a slower pace of life. Keep them coming Alan!

[@alan4x]

thanks paul, i cant put into video how it really feels but it certainly is a world away from the uk and although its a developing country in many ways i am more relaxed here and just feel its a nicer, simpler way to live

[@donwright3427]

It's more fun in the Philippines and I can agree on that. 🎉

[@alan4x]

🤣

[@Flake.22]

Glad to see you guys are having fun. Looks like a very fun trail enjoy your time and life over there. Best of luck. Happy for Tyler

[@alan4x]

thank you flake, have a smiley day😊

[@chucky2316]

Tyler is slowly turning into a Philippino alan 😂.

[@jamesheadworth4954]

Bang on comment. Exactly my impression

[@zzhughesd]

That he is !!!!

[@khennahsfarm2610]

He loves RICE ! Most of the time ,he prefer rice each meal

[@alan4x]

yeah he has really settled and adapted to the lifestyle and food..better than me for sure, cheers chucky😊

[@Lisa-Andy]

"one slip & you're in the shit" . What no perfect stairs, a safety barrier, disabled access & a lift !!! hahahah. Love the rum graveyard. (proves they are collecting intending on recycling / reusinng rather than dumping in landfill) The more we watch your videos the more envious we become.

[@alan4x]

we passed a place called the greak hills the other day which are a high up mountainous area... did not film it as my phone was dead but the road was so steep and gravelly with just a shear drop either side and no barriers i was turning white and that kind of environment is just normal out here, have a smiley day lisa and andy😊

[@DaleAbel-li6zl]

[@stugreen5334]

Great video 👍 the hike back up looked a killer 😅

[@alan4x]

it would have been eisier with decent hiking shoes but still a lot of fun and tiring😊

[@stugreen5334]

@@alan4x more fun in flip flops 🤣

[@djwwautodiagnostics]

Really enjoyed that. It's a totally different way of life to the UK, but you know what, there's nothing wrong with things being a little bit rough and ready and above all simple. Really appeals to the kind f life I want to lead. Hope that comes across well here 🙂

[@alan4x]

if you get the opportunity to go somewhere for a visit i highly recommend you do...seeing how people live in other countries certainly makes you think

[@user-ew3bk7tj5z]

[@eddiejones.redvees]

One ox power a big difference for the HP of a ford mondeo it also a lot quicker to change up then an EV car. that river reminds me of the time me and my wife climbing up dunns river falls the first time we went to Jamaica it was very slippery and steep and we paid to do it once is enough the most Strenuous thing I do now is snorkel and a few drinks at swimming pool bar

[@alan4x]

well at least you did it eddie, you lived to tell the story, have a smiley day😊

[@paulfianatravels]

excellant 😊

[@revelationmd]

Careful in that heat mate - I was told that the government are warning the temperature in Mindanao could hit 53. Are you starting to get acclimatised or are you just coating yourself in factor 400? Anyway - looks like you all had a ton of fun though. Living the dream!

[@alan4x]

hello, i not sure it will get that hot but trying to stay out of the heat at the moment..it really is full on heat and at night not much relief unless you have air con, yes quite used to the heat now but definately need sun block and a hat or umbrella..i just wrap a t shirt around my bald head🤣

[@foreignermakingmoney-phili1458]

You always goto don carlos but isn't maramag closer to camp1? Or just enjoyed visiting

[@alan4x]

[@TheCack1000]

[@alan4x]

[@zeez4178]

Hey Alan love the videos !.By the way there is a good video on the Philippines on KZbin by a channel called New Atlas 👍🍀

[@alan4x]

I will check it out, cheers

[@zeez4178]

Ok Alan .Wish you all the best ​@@alan4x

[@foreignermakingmoney-phili1458]

how you found it driving on the other side of the road?

[@alan4x]

pretty easy as no roundabouts here and in fact the whole style of driving here is very different to the uk but found it a little tricky but now dont think about it, just drive

[@heresjohnny6377]

On a different subject alan ,what you think about the crossfire you did in another video? Thanks John

[@alan4x]

not a bad looking car but as we found ...getting parts for it are very difficult and even the merc dealers say its too old and want nothing to do with it

[@heresjohnny6377]

won't bother getting one then ha ha 😂 cheers 🍻

[@Davesaid9253]

They are wooden trees mate
