Scotty (Regular Guy) said there’s 5 hospitals in MALAYBALAY. Making a video on access to healthcare there would be very helpful to many of us and would probably get good views over time cause every travel eventually gets sick. Just a suggestion. Love your channel, bro. Great info! Keep it up! Thank you!!

@@expatlifestyle2000 I didn't rent a car , too expensive and sadly no scooter for rent there. Actually that's the main reason I didn't stay longer, found it difficult to travel around the area to search for land for sale. Keep up the good work on the vlogging it's really good content and highly appreciate the effort it takes to produce. Interested to see where you head down the path next 😁

I really like the variety of hotels in Malaybalay! Has more variety than anywhere in the US. I get a real kick from the ones with the Bucket shower and Air Con or just a Fan at best! But You cant beat the Price anywhere! I like the ones with the windows and balcony. Malaybalay will always be my Paradise for sure.👍

Lived in Davao for 7 years but Malaybalay was never mentioned by any friends but of course I knew of Bukidnon..What does a single man do in Malaybalay?Seems to me if your wife or online dating GF is from there it might be worth a visit but im thinking you would run out of things to do fast and make weekly runs to CDO.... The temps are nice with not much traffic I can see but I think there is not much to offer for western single guy living quarters?

Hello. 👋 It is extremely easy to find a wife here imo. The online dating scene not so much. I'm a bit of a home body/internet guy so it's fine for me to not go out on an adventure every day. Stay tuned into my videos and I'll be showing off more off of the area. Honestly if I can get my own transportation it will open up a whole world of possibilities. For the last 3 months I've been occupied with public transportation alone...

Great video and much appreciated. I'm hoping to visit Malaybalay when I travel to the Philippines to do some recon in hopes of retiring there. I noticed some wall crawlers once or twice in your video. Is that universal for hotels there, and the Philippines in general, or are there hotels where that's not going to be an issue? I don't want to swallow a creepy crawly while I'm sleeping, if I can avoid it. :) TY
