Fil-American Nurse Quits! Goes Home to Start Bohol Bed and Breakfast: Chocolate Hills (Matilde B&B)

The Chocolate Hills are a MAJOR draw for Tourism in the Philippines. In the heart of the Hills is a fantastic new Bed and Breakfast from an Filipina-American and her European husband. They left lucrative careers in the United States (California) to enjoy a more family centric life. Here is a short part of her story.....

Congrats to her for listening to her heart.We have many nurses from Philippines here in the East coast hospitals. They're such hardworking and caring nurses I have seen

[@TheMindsAI_]

She’s got that great jolly Filipino spirit. Remember the first time I went to the Philippines going in to a store and I when women walked in workers would say “good morning mom.” I thought dang, everyone in this country considers strangers family! Then I realized they were saying Ma’am… Pre-pandemic I was nomadic for ten years, spent months on Bohol and Camiguin and loved the area. Just have to find a good Filipina now.

If you want to meet somebody nice and educated go be invited to family parties 🎉 just beware that people may sometimes try to jokingly pair you with one or a lot more eligible ladies in the throng😂

Hello everyone! What a beautiful story ! I am a caregiver myself. Husband and I built a little vacation house in the Philippines in Samar. Been here in USA for 39 years been home to the Philippines many times and like they said , sometimes you feel homesick and looking for a sense of belonging ! I feel that now. Thank you Tim K for this awesome video! Watching from Jacksonville Florida USA 🇺🇸 Stay safe everyone 🥰🇺🇸🙏

Interesting how you phrased it (and I'm not trying to start any problems). I am a man of all people. But it makes sense then FilAms and People from India would be the most affluent based on family income in America because they live there and in Canada as they do at home. With more than one family per house. Like au ties and uncles and besides and nephews and brothers and sisters and moms and dads. So it would only make sense for them to be above average. I have both Filipino and Friends from India, and compared your average north american family who may have 3-5 members living in the home they usually have about 10-15. And that's just the culture

I am beyond words for all the love and support. My Lola Matilde must be very proud. My father built the place as a vacation house for his children but little did we know that it served a much greater purpose. It made us connect to our guests in different ways. The stories that we shared with our guests makes it so much special. We all are passers, must take a stop or pause at some point, really look at what is more important in life. We do hope that our genuine hospitality makes it a worthwhile stop in your journey.

I can really identify with her! I moved back home to Costa Rica 25 years ago after growing up in California since the age of 8. Left a high paying Director of Technology job at a Casino Card Club and have never regretted it. Costa Rica is the perfect place to live in with world class medical dental, great weather year round and only 2.5 hours from Florida or 3.5 hours from Texas but a world away. The only thing missing now is a Filipina wife and I believe I would have the perfect lifestyle! I say this because I had Filipina girlfriends in California and they were simply awesome.

I worked all the overtime to support the family. Our lives turned out good and the kids were able to get their schooling and all graduated college and now doing good. America is not the same now though. Cost of living is sky high. That's why there are a lot of homeless in America now. Homeless everywhere.

I think that is the freedom of living in an inexpensive country like the Philippines where you're able to survive without spending a lot of money... where you have less worries and won't go homeless at all as long as you have a place to stay..a piece of land and a house and have some livelihood.

Hey Tim, thanks for showing this place to us. It's in the center of the island away from all the beaches, so it looks like a nice, quiet, peaceful place to take a couple of days break from the beach. When I go to Bohol with my Filipina, we will definitely take a couple of nights there and meet them. Probably won't be until early next year as we have several other vacation destinations ahead of vigil on the list. But I will definitely put them on the list and contact them directly so they don't have to pay those fees to the Internet robbers. Go have some fun with Dale and Chrissy while you guys are together.

I was at a B&B once many moons ago. Was my first time and it was in a house. I was doing a lot of traveling and I just needed food and sleep. There was no Hotel or Motel for miles. I was pulled over for swerving the cop thought I was drinking. I told him I was dead tired and just need a place to eat and sleep. Not giving me a ticket he told me just a couple miles down the road there was a B&B and he will fallow me to make sure I am ok to drive there. I made it and it was a huge house. I walking inside the house and it was so beautiful in there. The house on the outside and inside looked like a 1930's. The girl that was setting me up with a room said Supper will be ready by 5 Pm I said I wont make it by then I hope to be sleeping. I went to my room and crashed. 11 PM I woke to the sounds of couples having the time of their life. Or should I say making little ones. I decided to go find a place for a coffee in hopes by then things would quiet down. I came down the stairs and the girl said oh you are up. I said well hard to sleep longer when you have people in love next to you. She then said let me warm you up the meal and would you like a coffee. I sat at the table and asked the girl a few questions. I told her she looks a little young to own a B&B and she told me it is her Mom's B&B she is just working there along with her 3 other sisters. I told her I understood. Then she said their Father left them and the house use to belong to their Grandmother . The Grandmother did the B&B untill she just couldn't do it anymore then her Mother took it over . Anyways the girl told me many of times she has wanted to just get away she was tired of that work but then before she does she meets someone interesting and that makes her want to stay to meet more interesting people.
