WoW..I just loved this video " Jim"..Such a beautiful place under $10 a night. I really hope they get more visitors.I could stay there a month and just relax.Would like to see the other rooms also. Thanks Tim from Nova Scotia canada ❤❤❤
Wow Tim, what a wonderful and lovely lady. A beautiful place too, Aren't you glad you decided to stay? Good choice. I hope your video brings business to her fantastic place.
I’m glad you ended up staying at the resort even though there was no air conditioning. You ended up with a great conversation with the owner. Bless you for not correcting her when she called you something else. Loved the video.
I moved up to Idaho from so cal 4 years ago. Total night and day difference. I never look back. Wish I'd known there was something else besides the desert of Southern California. Now I live where there's 4 seasons that work like clockwork,people look out Fer one another, way lower crime,I don't have people begging for money in front of every store,and I can go fishing 5 minutes away from my home. Life kinda forced me here,and I'm glad it worked out this way.
I’ve migrated to the US in 1978, will be finally retiring next year after having worked as a Registered Nurse since 1986. I will definitely visit her resort for a length of time. Thank you for sharing your videos, I’m able to see more interesting and awesome places that are not commonly traveled to.
Riding a classic motorbike through the mountains of Northern Philippines is an unforgettable experience. It brings us wonderful moments and beautiful memories.
Tim, if you come back down on the West Side of the island youll come through Ilocos Sur. I got a room for you at no cost. Youll be a welcome guest here. I got plenty of room with an Air con. Let me know. Enjoy
I'm enjoying the interviews of the owners of the establishment also...I got an inside look of what the establishment is offering to their visitors...bravo
you can tell folks enjoyed this...what was almost a loss due to heat and exhaustion of riding to Ilyn's turned out to be a very successful video...29K views und counting :)
You are welcome visiting me here in Lipa city on your way back home Tim..im a Swedish vlogger who lives here in PH..dan and cha is the name of my vlog..😊
Very enjoyable video 👍 and that Ilyn homestay with the charming owner/hostess really was one of those hidden gem´s that grows as the eye gets used to it -a lot of bang for the buck, and a perfect place for a week´s stay (or hide 😅) away from stresses!
I enjoy your Philippine adventures Tim… keep going! I’m a Filipino living in SOCAL USA but I’m living my Philippine life vicariously through you Tim! Funny thought, I just passed through the playground Chrissy and Dale played through near Newport yesterday when they last visited last winter…
husband speaking age 81, have great fun on the bike trip, just don't get lost and no gas. When I rode my Honda 450 ( hind sight, I wish I had gotten the 500 ) on my ride from Wash. State to Ark. I had a 1 gal canteen that I put gas in to carry in reserve) Some roads in the U.S. are long and not much in-between towns.
Tim your living the dream. Your an actual explorer the way nature intended. appreciate the content and looking forward to having a beer with you soon. I'm retired and already have my passport!
Kudos to you Tim for being a brave solo adventurer . Thats a great sounding waterfalls .. you should have just dived into the water . With just your pants . No one else there except that one guy and a few kids . You could have dried up easily after .
The best roadtrip is the North Luzon loop. It starts in Clark airbase to Baguio to LA Union, ilocos then Cagayan, Isabela , Quirino, Aurora and back to Clark. There are a lot of tourist attractions along the way.
In 1995 I was married and owned a home in Laguna Niguel near the Ritz Coast, a Porsche, a Range Rover and was making 250K/yr. Forward five years and a divorce, after having to sell the house, the cars and quitting the job. I found myself taking a ice bucket challenge shower, in an outhouse bathroom outside of my now Filipina wife's parents house, staring into a Philippine jungle in the pouring rain. I remember saying to myself....WoW how life can change. I've been married for 10 years and never happier.
Dude another great video. What is interesting as a New Yorker is this as simple as it gets and a person can just relax and destress and the price is nothing. Sure the rooms are basic but they do have a bathroom. Thanks Tim
And this is why I bought a delica hi‐top moon roof 4x4 with here in the Philippines... I don't need a hotel room I can go just about anywhere. Can cook,sleep, even a (cr). If it rains let it..I stay dry. I take it everywhere and ferry rides to other islands are just as much fun.
Awesome vid. Heard there’s a winery in the area. The sound of the river flowing and the water fall, fresh veggies would definitely reset anyone’s mind and body. Mahalo for your service 🇺🇸 🫡 🤙🏾
That homestay place is a lot nicer than some hotels or inns seen in bigger cities or towns. The layout of the resort and build of the structures show some care was taken.
Been living in Ilocos Norte for 58 years but I've never been into that remotest town,Adams.We passby Viven hotel last night where you were staying in the city.
I love what I am seeing about you now. Less nasty mouth, no critiques and less war- like. That’s what Filipinos want. Don’t copy other expats blogs. We love plain blogging. Showing us places, people, nature etc. and most of all, your face skin smooth again. Ever keep and maintain that. Enjoy…
It's good for all members of a family to explore as a unique person and then bring their discoveries back to the family to enrich everyone 😊😊🎉🎉 It is like flowers blooming in a field in a spring rain❤
Its good you showed that homestay, looked quite nice actually,. It probably will grow even more later. Owner sems nice and all staff. Also good affordable prices.
This looks like it was a peaceful leg of the journey... till you nearly shat yourself on that bridge! lol the look on your face was priceless... glad you made it out in one piece *_*
how did I get to where I am today? I strategically planned step-by-step every point in my life to leead me to a stress-free calm life. Zero stress is the pinnacle.
Hi Tim, first time to see your channel, I enjoyed your video of the homestead, as a life long motorcyclist, married to a filipina also born in Leyte I am also ex Army, I found many things in common, I just returned from the Philippines last Tuesday and enjoyed planning in my head a trip on a bike in the Philippines , stay safe and thanks.

Visiting mon repos turtle research centre, at Bargara and the beaches east of Bundaberg in Queensland , Australia, 5 hours drive from my lil country town, of Meandarra 4422 Qld, going to first Rodeo and Wow!, in Heaven, the people, the food n drinks, the atmosphere, is amazing, god bless us all 😂❤😊
Amen brothah, how did we get here, and then, 'we are blessed'. Showing the map at the start is brilliant, what a great perspective it is. You're closer to Taiwan than Bantangas, and closer to Hong Kong than iloilo! So much to see in Pi....Mahalo for sharing 🤙🏽
Love the how the f did I get here moments in life 🤙🌴💯 lady I e for me was hanging off a cliff in sumbawa chasing fish 🌴💯 being a northwest boy I was definitely in another world 🤙 god bless you brother 🙏 and greetings from India 🌴
You’re so lucky to be in that place eating veggies that grow in the wild. Water cress is plenty in Hawaii too. Enjoy Ilocos Norte the province of the President of the Philippines. Thank you for this video.

#2 Perhaps most fun was on my bike, traveling alone. You always meet such nice folks on a bike, all bikers in the U.S. will wave at you as they are going the opposite direction. I had a sleeping bag, ground cloth, tarp that I could tie to the bike and anchor to the ground like a little tent and slept in that. I went through Yellowstone Nat'l Park, Custer's Battle Field, Mt. Rushmore, The Mormon Temple, and all before GPS and Waze. How I never got lost still amazes me. I couldn't do it today.
