ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

Watching from Canada where life is always crazy busy in the healthcare, but your videos that we’ve been following are such an energizing source of much needed break from our work that could get frantic. We tried the northern way of life- camping and indulging with local activities etc, but nothing feels as encouraging as having the ability to be out in the sun, no hibernation in the winter, as we watch your videos. Thank you for showing us that there is more to enjoy in the Philippines than we thought there was. We hope you won’t stop your creativity. You look good together at the karaoke, your kids are amazing, and Phil’s name is just right for Phil(lippines)😊

[@Teddy-oe1cr]

Impressive place! I'm going to guess that your wish on the tree is to one day own your own resort much like this one. It seems to tick most of your boxes. Sustainability ✅️, Activities ✅️, Scenery ✅️, Accessibility✅️, Uniqueness✅️

[@kobepartol7538]

This is so fun to watch

Apo has different meaning in different regions Phil. In Ilocos for example Apo is an honorary term for an elder i.e. Apo Whang-Od. But in other parts it's grandkids

[@arniehere]

[@8877jazz]

Hello everyone!

[@livethephilippines]

Hi! 👋

[@LRP888]

Try to visit the Amanpulo cuyo Palawan

[@i-am-your-conscience]

Brooklyn is now in an age where same-age social contacts are crucial, at least in my perspective - do you consider looking into non-online education? Even if not, I think a lot of your viewers - families with the same mindset - might be super interested in international schools in the Philippines. The ISM (International School Manila) is the premier International School there, it's right next to BGC. How about a video about that? 😊 Another interesting international school, especially for you guys considering building a resort is the unique school that is in Dauin, not far from Justin. It has the british curriculum but the interesting part is that it is part of an actual resort! 😮 (ONE International School) In general, outside of Manila there's quite a shortage in international schools, so your resort project could get even more interesting, with long term residents instead of holiday guests, if you look into this unique concept, next time you visit Dauin.

[@livethephilippines]

Brooklyn is starting in-person school in the fall. It’s something she asked for and we support. Colt still wants to travel and stay in online school.

[@mariemontero7080]

Hello Let's watch

[@livethephilippines]

Hello! 🍿

Hi to my First Family of Foreign V logger!

[@livethephilippines]

Hello 🤗🤗🤗

[@vremerman]

Went to the beach swimming this afternoon, and I was going in and then I thought why hurry. I turned around to swim out a little and a school of about 10 fish jumped out of the water right in front of me. First time that happened. I think they were little tuna

[@lopena12160]

If you still have time visit Davao Oriental

[@MaryKissaKangleon-tz4on]

[@livethephilippines]

It was really good weather when we were there too.

[@Jack-p7i2r]

Pearl Farm and Discovery Samal is better actually Samal Island. Not a good area with public in front of the island and so close to the nearby towns. And Loud

[@cokeaddict658]

Did you order all the food or are they included in the package?
