STRANDED FOREIGNERS cross PHILIPPINES BY CAR to get HOME after Lockdown (DAY 1)

[@tamodmode]

I feel that the whole Philippines is watching you going back home... Take care. ❤

[@marcdunhill7115]

Wow I love that postcard of Mike and Nelly. I would frame that. The place you stayed for 88 days of lock down will always be captured in that drawing. That place can be renovated or changed but your memory of it from that drawing stays forever.

[@yencute18]

I love how emotional Nelly is. She is so sincere and honest with how she feels. I just love it so much. It's very refreshing

[@gengen0108]

You're lucky to have a Pilipino couple friends that helps you there in Siargao stay safe

[@AngelStarr72]

Goodbyes are really hard indeed, tears just welled up my eyes while watching this but one thing i've learned is that whatever skin color we have, rich or poor we all experience this kind of emotion that sets us apart from all of Gods creation.

[@hansschuberg1824]

Just like watching a Netflix Series, cant wait for the next episode. Take care and be healthy!

[@magracie3]

Me, too. It’s like watching series on NETFLIX

[@micojoson8092]

Nelly is just one emotional human being and I love it! Have a safe trip back guys!

[@eduardoricardo94]

I dont know the people, and have not been in the place, but as I watch.. I also catched the separation anxiety and the excitement of the thought that you guys are going home. Have a safe trip. Seeing the outdoors and the vastness of the ocean is a refreshing sight on this release.

[@lilibethpayumo4325]

finally on board,happy for you guys have a safe trip welcome to manila god bless

[@marcelinakusama9009]

Take care and be safe Mike and Nelly. Dedicate this song for you "DON' T WORRY BABY" by the Beach Boy.

[@jpaksgwapito775]

This is what I don't really like, when you stayed at a certain place for a month or two, you'll be missing it like, seriously missing it. So sad. I feel you guys. 😊

Why does it feel like I’m with you the whole quarantine season journey, I felt the homesickness, I felt the hospitality of my fellow Filipinos. This is whom we should look up to, vloggers who make you feel that you’re with them the entire journey. Keep shining! I also wanted to do travel vlogs and your vlogs made me wanna strive harder in school so I can travel the Ph too. I’m vlogging but obviously ain’t travel vlogs hehe

[@reinhijosa6750]

Hi guys! I’m a new subscriber and I just want to say that you take all of us viewers in this awesome adventure that you’ve embarked. The good and the bad, hopefully more good than bad. I am honestly so jealous of you and can only live vicariously through your vlogs. It’s so amazing how the Filipinos are so helpful and oh so nice which warms my heart and so proud of them. I will try to watch all your vlogs ...can’t wait to see the the continuation to this one. Take care and be safe! Love from California!

[@drgvjapos]

Mike & Nelly,. It seems like I have been with you guys all the time that you were in Siargao, & me & my son Ingmar were also lockdown here in faraway Michigan. I am praying for your departure to be safe without any obstacles. Glad that you were taken care of by your hosts in the island & still others in the neighborhood offering food & hosting dinners. Peace be with you. My heart is with you all, Love & prayers from Michigan!!

[@dtmaravillajr]

So sad that you’ll be leaving Siargao which was your second home during the lockdown. You’ll come back there for sure. Have a safe travel back to Manila!

This is a very nice vlog, full of emotions, friendship...

[@mitziodee4890]

I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I’ve been binge-watching your travel vlogs for days now. The first time I learned from your vlogs that you’ve moved to our country I was puzzled and needed to know why. After watching maybe more than 5 vlogs, I knew the answer why, much like us Filipinos, you are both warm-hearted people and you love with all your heart and laugh at every opportunity, just like us who can always afford to smile amidst all the problems and restrictions because of covid 19. I hope you reach home safe. P.S. aww, Nelly, that emotional moment when you opened the card I cried with you, you have a beautiful heart, both of you and Mike. Safe travels.

[@johnnytampocao7671]

OMG! Finally you made it but I sensed it yesterday that you're gonna make it.This the most emotional video you ever published. I'm a man but I was touched by too much emotion from saying goodbye and leaving your lovely place for the past three months but also from the Filipinos who were so kind and helpful to you. This really makes me so PROUD as a Filipino and I'm so happy that you leave Siargao heavy hearted because of the kindness of your host. Hopefully everything will get smoothly on this journey back to Manila. Stay safe safe and enjoy every place you pass by.👌 👌 😀 😀 🇵🇭 🇵🇭

[@shingxinhuilinglinglinglin1982]

I feel like crying while watching this vlog 😭 I remember that i started watching during the start of lockdown... can't believe it's been three months... I beliebe that saying goodbye to a second home is as sad as leaving your own and original home... anyway, I hope to see you guys around! 😍😊 I'm a fan 😊

[@marlaruce]

I think George and Lucy will ask you when you arrive at Makati, "Where's our pasalubong?"

[@sydneylozada5444]

I can relate much whenever i step on the ship leaving my village and settle in another island it's like your traveling a new world(in Philippines )so your always feeling a tears of joy. In the middle of the sea viewing a beautyful island sceneries and a magical sunset your mind explores too, but it's always kind of hope what awaits you in another island.

[@barrygilbert1002]

It will be a gruesome and tiring travel but hope you'll arrive home safely in Makati. Be safe.💪

[@MakingithappenVlog]

Can't wait!

[@damon4000]
