What a beautiful island ! So glad you took us all along. Your friend is a cool guy, very kind of him to join you and provide wheels so you can visit different areas on the island. I wonder how inexpensive, smaller long term rentals are on the sunrise side of the island. Not only do I like the larger waves, but also I'm more of a morning person. Great job on the video! 😎🤙

@ThatPhilippinesLife 6 месяцев назад

Since I lived in Boracay right as soon as it opened there were very few foreigners and when it did get busy it was mostly Koreans, in the last week's I lived there I started to see a few more western tourists but no young backpackers at all. Probably due to costs. I haven't been back but it may have changed since
