From the first time I set foot in the Philippines 9 years ago I fell in love with the place and the people. Now this June myself with my Filipino wife are finally moving there to our house in Tagaytay we call home.

FILIPINOs consider Nelly as our kababayan already. If Foreigners loves to stay and live in Philippines they are very welcome and Filipinos reciprocate love to them also.

That is why it is a MUST to gather information as much as you can about the country you are visiting first and foremost. And most importantly, lower your standards and be prepared for the differences you might encounter.

The Philippines Misses you Nelly,,, wishing you a safe and enjoyable travel around the world!

Thank you 4 liKING PHILIPPINES ...WE ALSO LIKE YOU ... GOD BLESS YOU

When I took my family of 4 to the PI for the first time I had to plan it out so that whatever cultural shock they might experience it would be gradual. I planned all the logistics and discussed it with them. i was born and raised in Panay in Iloilo specifically, after finishing college I migrated to the US, thats was over 40 years ago. But the time I took the family back home as a complete unit the two boys were adults. So they were quite self aware of the difference in the culture and social sphere of life there. So what I did was stayed in the most westernized hotels in Manila and Makati and when we arrived in Iloilo City, we stayed in a couple of hotels in the new section of the city most tourists would use. It worked because even with a few observations of the difference in the lifestyle there, most of the needs of my family was used to were met satisfactorily. After a few days of adjustment we started going to places in the interior part of my province where I was born and also in coastal towns were my father came from. So gradually they experienced rural life. I have farms in these places and to them it felt like treading into the wilderness. The locals made them feel welcome and we went to many beach resorts in the island. Life in Iloilo is a far cry from other metro cities. So many places to explore especially resorts without the stress of maddening crowd where ever we went. It made my American born children and my husband enjoy our trip which turned into more return trips and now my kids are dual citizens because they relish the idea of living there one day in their future. Its always safe in the part of the Philippines where I come from. We didn’t see or experience any crime during any of our travels. So yes generally speaking, its fun to live in the PI no matter who you are. Thank you for sharing your love for the Philippines. You’re awesome.

Emy and johan are livjng in siargao and they love the phillipines, thatbwas just there first reaction ghat was a veey old video of them.

When you are in the Philippines your patience put to test.

Siargao is the Bali of the Philippines and I MISS IT SOOOO MUCH!!!! I would call this place home!!!

Nelly, you look positively glowing. I think the worst is now over for you and healing has happened and made you even more beautiful. Be free of the past. Keep creating your life and soak in all the love the Filipinos are giving you. Time to be in the Philippines again 🇵🇭❤️

Yeah We Are The Kindest People In The World 😊 And Happy People 😊 Thank You That Foreigners would recognize that 😊

Funny how foreigners in the Philippines find it strange to go to multiple places to buy groceries and food. I on the other hand keep looking for specialty stores for each thing I want to buy where I moved to. The thought of buying everything from the nearby grocery gives me the feeling of just settling with what's available. We all learn LOL. God bless!

When will you go back to the Philippines, the people missing you. Filipinos love you so much! Hope you can consider to stay there again❤️❤️❤️

Nelly Is the prettiest and sweetiest PERIOD love love Nelly from Japan ❤️

Thank you guys for positive compliments. ❤️

Nice reaction Nelly; it brings you memories of your "first" also and at being stranded at Siargao. They're not active anymore on vlogging so we don't know what happened to them. Hope they are okay and if they are still in the Philippines that you will meet them one day. Take care. God bless.

These two Swedish couple built their bamboo house in Siargao , I think.I’ve been following them in the past . I haven’t seen them for awhile.You guys have to remember the Philippines is not well developed yet. In the provinces , there are not too many supermarkets or grocery stores. We have the open snd wet markets. Also we have the sari sari store but limited contents. However if you live in Makati, Alabang or other well off cities, they’re more Westernized.

I'm happy to see that the loneliness on Nelly's eye would change to happiness little by little... Because when I see her eyes on her past videos it tells so. I wish for true happiness and we miss you here in the Philippines.

What’s up Nelly? You’re looking so much happier and prettier. I hope this chapter of your life is full of happiness, travels and love and of course good health.

You’re blooming Nelly! Can’t wait for you to go back in the Philippines.

I’m wondering if this couple is still in the Philippines. People need to understand that it is up to you to change and adjust to the country, not the country adjusting to you.

I hope they know the difference between buying products in a Grocery store or a Supermarket compared to the market. Freshness is the big difference. Living here in New York and all I think about is the food in my country, Philippines. Especially I was born and raised at the "Culinary Capital of the Philippines". Love from New York.

I loved how you edited this vlog. I love the sound effects and pop-up pictures.

We love you Nelly you are the best you are a true hero for us FIlipinos. I hope all the success and happiness will come to you with over flowing love ❤

Nelly, you’re so sweet. You know a lot about the Philippines already.

I have been coming to the Philippines for years the first time I came to the Philippines I was nervous not knowing what to expect but now it’s my goal to live in the Philippines I love the people so much

The couple (Eight Miles from Home) are both Vegan, they have been living here for more than 2 yrs & they survive, they cooked their own foods & when they go out & eat in a restaurant, they can easily find some restaurants that serves vegan foods

Around the world during the Covid was luck down not only Philippines. In USA and Canada are worse during locked down, lots of restrictions

Wow ! So nice to see you nelly more energetic and happy blooming! your reaction is make me smile😍

Philippines loves you nelly!

emy and johan doesn't post vlogs this past weeks or months. i hope they will post new videos again.

We misses you here Nelly, keep safe and enjoy your travel around the globe...😍😘🥰

Filipinos have bayanihan culture which means helping each other specially in a community

Nelly is wholehearted filipino, Im always happy watching his genuine vlog.. Love it..

We human beings need to be open minded wherever life takes us around the globe.

We luv Nelly shes our kababayan God bless you 🙏🙏🙏💚💚💚🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🤩🥰😍💐💐💐

Nelly the sweetest!!! She is already our kababayan 💗💗💗💗 We love her!!

Filipinos is known as hospitable but even I am a Filipino I am aggree with what this Sweden woman said that during lining up in cue in Sweden they are strict to follow the line and it is rude to insert or ahead of any person who is in the line. I am also a victim when I was in the bank we have a longline and a woman who is not pregnant nor senior citizen insert ahead of me as I about to insert my card it is term in Bisaya way batasan or no good manners. May it will not happen again. I am happy they found friendliness with Filipinos and with warm hearts we always welcome our visitors.

Huge tnx Nelli for your wonderful inputs. Indeed, thare are so much to understand & learn if you have to live in a 4fen land. But me as a filipino...we r basic. Love the community, share our food, and.... ...sing karaoke with us.

Nelly, you go girl, this is a good content. Hope you reach a million subscribers. Your a good lady. We support you.

Mabuhay ka Nelly. God bless you. Have a nice day. 🤗

That's right ate Nelly educate them with love here.❤️❤️❤️❤️

❤❤❤you made the reaction fun and entertaining

Nelly you look more vibrant gorgeous in your blog, don't get stressed about misleading commentary of negative vloggers of foreigners from out of this reality and world. God bless to you always and remain single because you been loved.

Hi Nelly I always seeing your vlogs. Pls keep on vlogging. Be safe and love yeah!

chill, i guess you are right Nelly people in philippines are chill.

You’re one of my fav Foreign Vloger ever since Nelly.,Your half Pilipino half Austrian Already.,we Filipinos loves you.,🇵🇭🇮🇹

Thank u for chosing siargao my province...just lovely...luv u nelly & that lovely couple

Mabuhay!

Firstly, we cannot please everyone. 2ndly, Filipinos are not used to please any foreigner. It's Filipino's instinct to be friendly to everyone. Even to our own locals, we're friendly and nice to them too. And if you don't feel liking Filipinos, the way we treat people around us, esp foreigners, it's no longer our problems to problematizing it. Maybe they've just experienced a not so friendly situations when they arrived here. But anyway, Thank you for your enlightening comments for Filipinos. Have a great day to you!

I follow this couple ate nelly...they start love Philippines since lockdown...at first they dont like Philippines but they realized that they love Philippines..now they went home in Sweden and their coming back soon🤗...

Take care Nelly!! Always enjoy your "WHAT UP, PHILIPPINES?" Thank you, Nelly

Tyvm mate. Keep safe and ty for promoting our dear Phils.👌👏💪🏼☝️💙 new sub here

Going to different places just to buy stuff has been part of the culture. In the province, since most don't have any grocery shops, you have to go to the wet market. And yes, the smell is there, and it has been like that ever since. That's why mom took me to the wet market at an early age so I get used to the smell, the crowd, and also, to visit some of my relatives who were selling their produce, such as one aunt of mine from my mom's side that sells dried fish.

Philippines is a best destination in the world...WOW !!!

Hi Nelly! Great to see your video again. 😍 So happy to see you all bubbly and pretty as ever! Looking forward for more vids. Can I tag along if ever you'd visit another tourist attraction here? 🤩

I missed Philippines but i understand the couple of feeling not safe in the Philippines . Especially when you live in the remote area. You never know right? But Im sure they will get used to it! I Think if you came as an migraint you have to adopt thé cultuur not the other way around! I live in Europe (Netherlands) for 16 Years now and yeah i love it here. I hope you guys have fun there and take care ! Mabuhay

Hi Nelly! Please post more videos. GOD bless 😊

You are blooming Nelly😍

I saw them with the family of Jayel * 8miles from home. They are a nice couple

Nelly, Ms. Maganda, salamat po!

Wow Nelly.... I am absolutely loving the new reaction videos on this channel :)

Hi there,.....try going to the North this summer. Sagada, Mountain Province, you are very safe there. A TOURIST SPOT

Yes because of the location...

i think we should respect what other foreigners are saying about PH. they have different experiences with different Filipinos so i am not shocked if they will have negative things to say as you know people have different attitude. i remembered a youtuber who goes to Guimaras Island then he said that he can't find a good beach there simply because he did not do some research. a lot of beautiful beaches there but the one they choose is like the unheard beach then it left them an impression that beaches there is just normal and he seems disappointed

thats ok . we have a different culture like us in mindanao . thanks nelly for this video .🙃🙃

Nice to see you again pretty Nelly. Consistently refreshingly beautiful ❤️. Be safe, happy and healthy always. God bless you always.

Ate Nelly hing gwapa ka samot karon😊😊🙏god bless you more

Hi nelly, I am glad seeing you happy again.

Nelly this is the best reaction you had, I loved your reaction here, I burst to laugh. I could feel you are now happy here just keep it up Nelly.

OMG nelly u have a channel. Im not aware, im a fan of your previous channel but ever since you left. Im not watching that channel that often. So im happy u have one now. Cheers!

I enjoy the slow pace, long lines, meet new people and shop several stores for different things 💞 patience 😂 life is good.

Emy and Johan I watch here vlog in sargao buy of land.nice reaction Niely god bless

You go to the market to buy fish, veggies, etc because it's all fresh from the farm or fresh from the ocean, that was just harvested or came from the ocean very early in the morning. That's what I like fresh not frozen all in the foreign supermarkets.

Nice to see you Nelly, happy and well 😘😍
