Hola. Buenos dias Amiga muy.muy Hermosa
Interesting video. One caveat: you should mention the year and season. Helpful to the viewer. Also, anything named should appear in writing while you speak!
The places you mentioned look great.Would I be best renting a car at manila airport.can you give any advice about bus jeepney s to visit each of these places.
i need your help ..
Well done video…..nicely informational and interesting….
This guide to Manila is fantastic! Your top 10 recommendations are so diverse and well-curated, making it easy for visitors to dive into the best of what the city has to offer. This will definitely enhance any trip to Manila! Subscribed to you!
This video was uploaded in 2022 and retitled for 2024 for more views. This growing trend with content creators needs to stop. It’s dishonest and misleading to your audience and viewers looking for updated information regarding the year in the video title.
Hello. I understand your perspective, but everything I mentioned in this video is evergreen and authentic regarding Manila. I changed the date to 2024 for discoverability purposes. Sorry if it doesn’t align with what your needs, but my intentions are pure, and the information continues to be valuable. I wouldn’t retitle if the information was dated - in that case it really would be “dishonest” and to your point, I also dislike that.
Anyone recommend going in Sept? Doesn’t feel like weather is warm at all.
I think it’ll probably be a little chillier since it’s in the north!
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch.
So kind! Thank you
wow❤❤
Did you go to Margate to make this video? I went there a couple of weeks ago to a go a concert and was shocked at run down down it is. Cliftonville isn't any better. I jeep hearing that the place is on the up. They're wrong! I really wanted it to be true as I have gond memories of Margate/Cliftonville having lived and gone to primary school there.
Yes, of course! This footage is not ai generated haha. Margate has pockets of gentrification for sure, but largely can still do with investment and regeneration. Still charming and definitely on the up like many spots along Kent’s coastline.
It is a total dump here--people need to stop buying into the media hype & turning up expecting what their parents or grandparents saw in the 1960's & 1970's, or like yourself were here in those halcyon days-which is what the media promote. It is shocking how far it has gone down even since 30 years back-when it was already well on the slide. All the investment has gone into the Turner so called art gallery & the old town shops around it-mostly rich Londoners selling overpriced arty-farty stuff & Dreamland. The Winter Gardens has been left to rot for years-just been given a paltry sum, the Lido for decades. also the Tudor House & Theatre Royal. The only 'saving grace' for us is that Ramsgate is even worse. If you want somewhere nice in Thanet, then Broadstairs is the place.
Ty. Excellent video. Is English widely spoken in SANTANDER ?
Learn spanish. You are the visitor.
you deserve so many more subscribers! great video; good script, filming, shots and pacing :)
Too kind! Thank you so much 🥰
Great inspiration, moving to Manila after summer and this seems promising 🌞😊
Good luck with your move!
Smashing
Thank you 🙏🏽
@melissalegarda my niece who looks a bit like you Billie dee Fortune has just moved too Margate she won an Award in PR. Smashing place with Tracey Emin from the Royal College of Art. Be back soon ..!
i’m going to alton towers next week and i wear glasses and for example i want to go on the smiler. does the smiler have any lockers, and if so where? obviously i don’t want to wear them because i’ll lose them. is it safe enough to put them in zip pockets or not?
I’d bring your glasses case and put it in a zip pocket tbh!
This a nice report; thsnk you 👏
Thank you!
Thanks, very useful. I'm going on thursday xx
Have fun!
Thank you for the tips ms mel!!
You’re welcome, thanks!
Stunning. …and so is Santander !
Haha!! Thank you!
hi mel, can i ask how you traveled from dalaman to these areas, is there a taxi app like uber? also did you book the excursions online? thanks x
hey! thanks for the q - I took a private van shuttle because I was in a group excursion for most of the time, and took taxis/Uber a couple of times! yes - I'd always recommend you book online in advance - have put the excursion links here: www.illumelation.com/blog/turkiye/best-things-to-do-in-dalaman-mugla/ xx
@@melissalegarda thank you xx
Better to rent a quad or car? Also can you get around at night in the quad?
Whichever you’re most comfortable with! I prefer a car since I like to leave stuff in the boot like beach blankets, sunscreen, drinks etc. But quad is easy to get around as Milos roads are super chill 👍🏽 even at night yes!
@@melissalegarda What area would you recommend staying in? I’m having a hard time deciding whether to be in a more secluded place with good views (more budget friendly) or to be in an area with more restaurants and shops but give up the view because of higher cost. I’d love to find an area that is close to everything that I need but still has good views and budget friendly. Not sure if this makes any sense.
@@christianholloway1542 I had the same decisions to make when I visited! I decided to stay in Adamas first (more budget-friendly with good views and lots to do) and then moved to Pollonia for the last few days (more expensive but stunning area and amazing restaurants). I rented a car too so it was easier to get around. Check out my recommended hotels here - www.illumelation.com/blog/greece/10-things-to-do-in-milos-travel-guide/ - the suites in Pollonia were amazing but if on a budget there are lovely airbnbs! I really hope this helps. Reply
Thank you for this video, it was super helpful. I am visiting Milos this August and planning to take a private boat ride to Klefitos. However I just want to know are the waters still? And is there a possibility to fall sick because I am a little prone to sea sickness. And no matter how much I want to visit the place, 5-6 hours boat ride just scares me a little. Thanks again!
Where did you stay in milos?
Stayed in Adamas & Pollonia! Check out my recommended hotels here - www.illumelation.com/blog/greece/10-things-to-do-in-milos-travel-guide/ - the suites were amazing but if on a budget there are lovely airbnbs!
@@melissalegarda Thank you.. Will surely go through it.

Hey we went to Alton towers like a while ago thanks for the tops
You’re welcome, hope you had a blast!
What an amazing video how do you only have 20 likes😳 this is so good
You’re too kind! Thanks so much for watching and appreciating 🙌🏽🧡 means loads!
Is there any other hotels you recommend as the one you did is fully booked 😢
Hey! I’d definitely recommend looking on Airbnb as there are loads of cute choices. There’s one I loved right outside LIDO - check out places in “Cliftonville” Margate 😊
I found it very dirty, Albania and Greece are far better in my humble opinion
Next week I’m coming how can see you
hello...what is the best place to change the most interesting currency? and can you change Ukrainian currency?
Tks for ur video. I'm in love with ur accent. Because one of my daughter is Filipino and my little one loves her so much so we plan to visit Philippines to learn more about my little one's teacher country in this summer.
What a lovely compliment, thank you so much! When are you going to visit the Philippines? I hope you have an amazing time :)

Great commentary Mel. well done on the video.
Appreciate it, thanks very much and hope it was useful 👍🏽
Very useful information thanks
Glad it helped!
Wooowww I’ve lived in London for 30 years, I had no idea it was this beautiful 🤣🤣🍺🍺
It’s easy to forget in those grim winter months 😂
Nice 🍺🍺
you are valentines
Thank you very much!! This is exactly the kind of Turkey travel guide that i was looking for!!! You're the best ❤ i would appreciate if u can give us more details about the booking, links, and how to get to these places. Thanks!!
Thanks so much - glad it was useful! You can find my recommended tours, links, and other details here in my blog post - www.illumelation.com/blog/turkiye/best-things-to-do-in-dalaman-mugla/
Thanks... very useful. Visiting AT in June :)
Have a great time!
Im literally sat here watching your video eating Poached Eggs on a Bagel as you describe Balut 😅
Hahaha. An egg is an egg!
Great video!!!! It’s my wife’s 50th bday next year in April, all These places that you mention on the video, are you able to go to all of them even tho it’s still a bit snowy? I’m planning the trip for the last 2 weeks of April. Thanks for your help and advice!🙏😁
Hey Luis, thanks for your comment! Yes, I visited all of these places in late April and early May. Even when snowy they are accessible (apart from the Ice Cave near Katla - you’ll need to check with in the tour operator for your specific days). I’d recommend making sure you have snow boots with a strong grip on icy terrain and a high quality parka with a good hood. I hope you guys have a great trip!
Any live music bars you recommend?
Hey Carlos! There are so many live music bars and performers popping up everywhere from restaurants to cafés to bars after hours. Is there a particular area you’re staying in?
I loved this video, thanks Mel! 🤗
Thanks so much Sarah!
Stunning video! Who fell off their horse??😂❤
Thank you! 😂😂

add the Paco Park n Cemetery in Malate district of Manila , a beautifully landscaped turned garden w/c has become a popular wedding venue for its quaint small St. Pancrasius Chapel
while in Manila ride a few minutes ferry ride to the historical island of Corregidor where you can see the Malinta tunnel, the ruins of the mile long American barracks among others n much more .....also visit the Paco Park n Cemetery, a beautifully landscaped park w/c has become a popular wedding venue in Manila because of is beautifully landscaped garden for a background...
All added to my list! Thanks for the inspiration 👌🏽
Great video! Thanks for sharing this tips! Do you know there is any bus from Batanagas to Tagaytay?
Hey! There’s no direct bus as far as I’m aware but the journey is straightforward. You hop on the bus to Manila at Batangas, then switch bus at Parañaque or Cubao to another that goes to Tagaytay. Hope that helps!
@@melissalegardaHi! Thanks! I have just come back from Philippines. Your videos were very useful!
@@Movie_ON Amazing! How was your trip to the Philippines?
such a primitive guide! a tour for idiots!
also an interesting place to visit in Manila is Paco Park n Cemetery now a recreational garden w/c was once Manila's municipal cemetery originally built by the Dominicans in 1807 during the Spanish colonial period. Originally designed to be the final resting place for the Spanish colonial elite where the inner walls of the circular garden still houses the marble crypt markers that bear their family names. Also the place where the national heroes Rizal n Gomburza were buried. Inside the park is the Church of St. Pancrcius w/c is a popular wedding venue because of its beautiful background....
