EXPLORING MY HOMETOWN (Newport, South Wales, UK) - Quarantine Ends
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- 10 Days Quarantine: Complete!
Now to take a wander and a tour of my hometown, Newport. I explain a bit about the history, my personal experiences and memories, and of course, I fly the drone. That's why it is being released late!
Newport is very different to what I'm used to in Davao, Philippines. It's much colder for one, as well as having 1/10th of the population.
I visit the riverside, Gaer fort, St Woolos Cemetery, and the city centre.

ABOUT MY DRONE:
I have a DJI Mini 2. It has a current operator's licence, and I have a flyer's licence, though my drone is exempted from the latter. It is 249g, C0 class, so I am allowed to fly above residential areas. I took reasonable efforts to avoid violating anyone's privacy, and my shots do not show much more than, for example, Google Earth would show. I took particular care when back gardens were in view. All filming is done in accordance with existing privacy laws.
Only compulsory to wear masks inside stores and establishments here, by the way. No requirement outside. In case you were wondering!
(and there are no people around anyway, as you can see. If it was crowded it would be a different story)
I was about to ask that question. It is nice that you already knew that people will ask that question. lol.
You should pin this post of yours.
love you bro!
Dude. MOVE BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES NOW!!!!!!!!!
Is the weather always like that?, It's so gloomy.
no wonder ppl in london are escaping to wales. u have more reasonable response to covid.
it's common sense to mandate mask indoors where research shows the virus can spread in an enclose area more than outdoors. if u r walking alone outside, u dont need a mask.
Chenilas Survivor is written in the shirt coz Commander Daot travelled wearing a pair of Chenilas from Davao airport to Heathrow, UK. He's a Legend!!!!!

Anselm, this vlog is superbly done. Easy to follow and for people like me that has never been to Wales, your video gives a realistic overview of Newport. Very informative, concise and keeps me interested. The interweaving of the narration and music makes for a professional finish to your vlog. Kudos to your efforts.
I agree. It was very different. As though he was a Lonely Planet talent or some traveling show correspondent.
Indeed. So well put together!
I concur
Yup, I agree.
The Quality Of This Is More Like A Documentary Than A Vlog... Well Done Kumandar
I absolutely agree with you sir jack...
Yes, that's the closest description!
Yeah
Newport, I’ve been there many times. Brits are nice people. Im from UsA.
I was travelling into South Wales for much of last summer and autumn, so I got to really appreciate what a beautiful part of the world it really is (but not so much in the winter). Of course where I really want to be is back with my friends in the Philippines. Hopefully this summer. Look after yourself and please keep posting the videos.
I feel that this is good therapy... for all of us.
So do I!
I love the improvement in your vlog, just at the start of the video you could feel that it’s going to be a good one...and it didn’t disappoint. Nice cinematography ang quality of shots. Great job!
It's nice how you had your narrative on the history of Newport. Keep that style of vlogging going. So informative.
Walking tour vlogs would be good therapy
England is so beautiful
i love that too. How he acted as a tour guide on our behalf. knowledgeable and informative. Thank you Anselm! keep it coming, we will wait. im actually waiting for the castles hihihi...Google says uve got 600 castles in wales!!!. please let us have a view on some.
@@ThydaCookingTV Oof...
Im glad you feel peace in uour country
The Welsh chapel is absolutely gorgeous architecture.
If you did the editing yourself then kudos to you! It was very good ,the result seems like done by a professional 😉👏.
It was both entertaining and educational.
Thanks for showing us your town kumander.
Love it!! FREEDOM!!🤣😂
This is your best vlog that you did since you started vlogging.. good job.👌👍
Wow! Thank you for the tour. Watching this makes me itch to travel already. I am so thankful that we have the technology and people like you who can share these type of videos about places we might not see at all. Thank you Sir. Please keep sharing. One day I hope to set my feet on the same ground you’re walking on in this video. Keep safe. I hope you get a hold of a mask soon. God Bless.
Lived there for a year. Never forget, it changed my life. Sad to see how much the city changed, 22 years is a long period....
Great drone piloting! The birds flying towards you was awesome!
I left Newport 54 years ago for Australia and so, yes, its really nice to have such a good well paced look around. Thankyou.
This is an awesome blog. The narratives, the videos, the drone shoots, the transition. Cinematography. This video seems done by a professional. Almost a documentary film. Very informative about the place. Keep up the good work Kumander Anselm. We wiil see you soon here in Philippines. God Bless.
Now your becoming influencer, kumamder daot your style is just so natural, always be your self.. I wish you hit 1M subscribers this year...
Good job! The aerial footage opens it up! Stay in the fight, brother!
Thanks for the tour of your hometown. I feel I'm walking with you and it's so Awesome! Free travel during pandemic.
I feel the same. I like 👍 this free traveling.But one ☝️ of this day I will actually travel to places that catches my attention 😍🖖
i miss when you are talking in bisaya it makes me laugh out loud... all my friend are amazed when they saw your video for the 1st time..until one day almost all of them always checking your blog for new content and we dont really skip ad's for the love of kumander d..rock on
Beautiful tour of your hometown, love it! Thanks for showing us the history side ( 500 BC ). This is much better than National Geographic.
Excellent Work, wow... it’s sounded like a movie, keep up Kumander ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, seeningly a one-man role!😁😊😍
This looked like documentary-ish kind of video. Your voiceover sounds great as well. Great job!
Beautiful town, Kumander Daot. Thank you for touring us and letting us experience your wonderful place.
Whhhhiooooahh wow! Thank you so much. Beautiful place. Weather permitting, wish you could show us more of South Wales. Old Buildings/structures/churches and cemeteries always has a tale! Am sure there are historical and interesting places around, vlog more of it. Spring and summer is a good season to fly your drone above the fields too. Stay safe always, KD!
Spectacular views of the hills and valleys in Newport. Thank you for introducing us to your childhood place. Very nice.
Nice video of your city Newport! Kumander D!..very well documented!🤪👍🏻
Loving the new format of the content. More of these please. Be well and safe!
Your getting better with the drone. Keep it up. Cheers
Foothpaths. I had been to Cardiff as a summer tourist probably 15 yrs ago when the family lived in Gloucestershire. Good video Anselm and thank you for sharing with us.
You are getting better, its like second nature now. Remember just take baby steps right now, no pressure in creating meaningful content when you vlog. Back in the old days, we encouraged people to create daily journal as therapy, now its vlogging. However, there will be people that will leave negative comments, just like what Kyle said take the positive comments. Good luck in your journey.
Therapy for me just to see your home town. It's a beautiful City. I need to explore my roots too hopefully someday. British. Thanks for this Mate.
Woww what a beautiful place kumander.. Thank u for the tour..😊😊😊😊👏👏👏👏👏👏
Looks like it's a start of "new-kind-of-Daot' content vlogging. Can't wait for more bits and pieces of the rich history of your hometown. Stay safe!
Rich in history...Newport. Thanks for sharing.
On the road to 100k! Thank you for showing us your hometown. We hope you're feeling better as well.
Wow, nice vlog Kumander Daot, thank you. Keep safe always!
I love how you paced this video, very well done!
Indeed,there is no place like home!I can sense your pride and love for your homeland.
I look forward to your new vlogs kumander!!!!!!! Its nice to see that you are getting more and more vlogs.... thanks kumander it's inspiring!!!!!!!!
Blog every day.
Ulysses
Ha ha you were inspired with his essentials?
That was a beer that he run out .
Connie Sanchez you didn't know how kumander started vlogging... what I am saying is that Kumander D is now getting active in vlogging...that is inspiring..,
It’s amazing to see Wales. I see them on pictures and on the internet, but not like a walkthrough with interesting bits of history. Nice kumander
Best content, professionally done. Love it. I could see more of this quality videos while you are in the UK.
Your city look so pretty but gloomy, as expected because it's winter. No wonder you love Philippines so much. I hope you get your much needed therapy and positive online conversations with your followers. Do continue with your vlogs. And its good you placed the restrictions on drone flying -- I know how privacy issues can be intricately complicated in Europe. Best wishes and take care.
Kumander, this vlog of yours is insane! So much information that really amaze me. I wish you all the best. Much love!
Your vlog is so professionally done. It is so impressive! I could just imagine the labor you invested into it. I pray doing this as your daily activity will help you recover from your present health problem the soonest. You have a lot of supporters worldwide. I hope you will get more positive energy from US. What a nice viewing of your drone captures coupled with some informative narrations in between, a very good overview of what your living place is. More power !!!
From Korea with love♡♡♡
A beautiful country to vct. Thanks Kumander D. Stay safe and happy with your family❤
Kumander I came across you through Kulas. Enjoyed your ‘fishy’ adventures so much here in Thailand. Newport really looks quiet compared to the province you left. Stay safe and hopefully you will be able to go back. 👍🇸🇨🇸🇨
Wonderful vlog! Continue walking around your neighborhood, you might come across something interesting to share and it is good for you.
I could imagine the cold...and the silence makes it feel much colder! Thank you for showing us bit more of your neighborhood, Anselm! Makes me imagine of your growing years! It also reminds me of the 2weeks I spent on training in London on an April month. I know summer was setting in, but it was cold for a 1st time Pinoy visitor like me, but the cold made the long daily walk between the bus stop and my training building enjoyable! Take care!
Lots of places to explore, love to see some live streaming of your town. It would be a great idea and good for health. 😍
Thank you for taking us around your home town kumander daot. The more we missed you here back in the Philippines
Watching from North Carolina! Good day Kumander!!! Salute!!!
Awww...miss UK 🇬🇧 so much
Beautiful! It’s like movie scenes. One day I will go there
Very beautiful Britain 🇬🇧
Glad to see you happy and enjoying the hood that bring back a lot of good memory to you, hoping that you’re not forget to go back in Davao Daot!
Thanks for taking us sightseeing. Everything looks neat, orderly and full of history. Love the huge open spaces. I would love to visit that place sometime.
Eenjoy life wherever you are Commander.
You're really getting good at it. Keep it up bro!
Kumander, This was a very nice video. I noticed that during your walk about the Ghost Town. There was a Shop or restaurant called " The Nipa Hut " it was kind of sad to see thay steel roll down door covering the entrance. You maybe from a dying town but it is rather large in area. My Maternal Grandmother was from Wales. I don't know from where she was. I am here in Batangas, Philippines now. Back in Florida my brother has all her albums & letters. I can remember her showing old tin type photos and black & whites. The brown stone houses ( brick ) look very much what she showed me. The row of the white houses looks exactly like those in the 1 photo with her as a 6 year old rag muffin. It was a winter photo as she was bundled up like an Eskimo & the trees had no leaves. I really enjoyed this video. Grandmother ( Nanny as she called) grew up dirt poor. She and her other siblings used to go out to the train tracks to pick up the fallen pieces of coal just as the train
Passed by. This was used for heating & cooking. So her home town must of been close to your location.
Best moment of the video was your gut busting laugh when you read the " Chanklas Survivor" Made me feel good that you can still see the humor and have such a reaction. Keep your Chin up !
God Bless you and please stay healthy.
That was awesome! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home town with us.👍😊
Kumander D is actually a superb photographer, not suprirising if he has an eye for filmmaking as well.
I learned a lot on this vlog. Thanks, Kumander. Keep doing what you're doing!
very nice place Kumander... i am viewing this just today May 13, 2023.... i am a recent subscriber, but I have heard of you before... I am a filipino and I have been dreaming of traveling to the UK since I was a kid... I love your hometown... very old school... perfect backdrop for a new wave or punk rock music video... yes... I am an 80s kid... hahaha... I know you are in the Philippines now doing your roadtrip... Stay safe Kumander D... cheers!!!!!
amazing view of the sorrounding, its so relaxing ang slightly quiet ❤️
Your last drone image looks like a postcard to me. Indeed Newport is so quaint, dry but cold while davao looks lively green in color and dense. Good luck on your new adventure kumander daot👍. Life spent is well spent no matter where you are😘
Thanks for this video. For some of us Newport is as exotic as Davao. Even seeing the post box seemed interesting. If you get short of material perhaps a detailed look at that cemetery would be in order. I wonder what the dates and inscriptions are.
Wow I have been there before ,Newport Wales . One of my nefew went to U of Wales early 90s
Bath ,Cardiff ,Plymouth beautiful places , I love Wales. I love UK , every time I come to visit I always drive to the
countryside and explore the smaller towns and cities.
You improved Daot you are officially a vlogger and I liked your content it's like I already went to Wales. Keep it up closer to 100 subs. 👍
Wow you’ve got a beautiful place! Thank you so much for showing your place. Very nice
I was just at Kulas & Therine's vlog, now am here! Hi anong oras na? Here it's 6:thirsty 5. Wala pa madaot!
11:38pm here!
Good job Kumander, you really nailed it with this video. Like I feel I was there.
What a beautiful town! Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you for showing us around your place. Beautiful!
Anselm! Another beautiful vlog. Keep em coming! Loved your reaction to the package 🤣🤣
Wow well done on editing Kumander Daot!! Keep it up !! God bless you !!
Excellent editing!!!
Very informative. That Newport is the OG one then. Lotsa history in it.
I hope to see you around Swansea when this lockdown ends. Take care always!
Lovely town Com Daot. I was in Cardiff 3 years ago with my family. Hope one day I can visit again. Be well, God bless you and your whole family
Newbie in flying the drone?!you're kidding right? ! That's so legit KD ! :)
My second and third flight 🙂
Absolutely one of my Top 10 most favorite videos. Beautiful country, Wales.Great job and nice work
Awesome intro! You're doing pretty well on your editing skills!
Some of the walking shots were pretty shaky. Not all of them, just a few. Next purchase: Gimbal/Stabilizer
keep smiling and be happy, your making my day here, stuck in London.
Imma gonna call that 'Daot Port' because you lived there.
So that's Newport. Very interesting, very historical and informative walk and talk... Thank U Kumander Daot for touring us around your city in spite of the pandemic.
watching this makes me miss the time while I was in Dorsett
Sosyal naman
@@MA-wm9vr it comes with the work
Thanks for showing us your part of town Komander D:) Well done🥰👍
It seems that you’ved conquered your fear of covid by being alone almost by yourself exploring your city. A real therapy to keep your sanity intact while in lockdown. Stay safe.
You have a nice hometown. I have a sibling that live in London by Norwood Junction. Been to London several times already.
Your steps do have sounds now, no more slippers outside for now..
a priceless roaming around the city of Newport unselfishly touring guide. AS IF, I've been to Wales... I saw "Nipa Hut"... you've not noticed but I do. thanks Anselm. !!!
WOW! NEW VLOG - DRONE SHOTS ARE REALLY COOL! 👍
GREAT WORK, KUMANDER - STAY SAFE. 👌
FACE MASKS??? 😷
Only required inside stores 😁
Kumander Daot !! You are nailing it! Good therapy for you and for those who needs encouragement. You're the Man !! God bless you. Stay safe and healthy and strong!! :)
I love the scenery -- the ruins, the ancient chapel, the cemeteries old and new. I love the history, too, from the more authentic :) street person's perspective.
Good job. I enjoyed watching this and learning a bit about your local area. I have only been to Wales once and I was delivering a car so it was kind of in and out but I did get to see some nice scenery on the way. They still had the Toll on the Severn bridge then.
u was made for this vlogging malarkey.....your vlogs always have that something....je ne sais quoi. quite addictive viewing. found it funny hearing the clomping of your shoes instead of the slapping of "flip flops" as we call them....lol
Beautiful scenery, looks so peaceful in there..
You’re weather looks the same here in Seattle. Dreary and gloomy!
Thank you Kumander Daot for taking us around Newport vicariously. Your stunning. video makes us feel we’re right there. Thanks for sharing your insights and historical info about Newport.
