Скачать или смотреть The TRUTH About Manila | My First Impressions After 3 Years on an Island

I used to dread going to Manila. After three years of peaceful island life in Siargao, the idea of returning to the city gave me major anxiety. But this trip? It completely shocked me.

In this video, I take you through the real Manila — from modern cityscapes like BGC that feel more developed than parts of the U.S., to massive malls, cozy cafes, and luxury hotels I didn’t expect.

This isn’t the Manila I remembered… and honestly, it gave me a fresh perspective on what “balance” looks like after years of island life.
