Finally we got to release this vlog! We have been filming it over quite some time as I really wanted to make sure we could provide some valuable insights for someone thinking of moving to Asia! ❤ Comment below your thoughts!
The location.that you are living is the version of Beverly Hills in the Phils . The fav res of Expats, Billionaires, Businessman, Celebrities, Politicians and Gov't officials a very exclusive village heavily guarded by CCTV's. You and Ave were destined to experience living there and we are enjoying watching you. Good decision to choose Phils as your base location/office while traveling around the world it's cheaper to hire Nanny and house helper here to assit you while raising your kids.👌❤
Good deciission Marve to choose to stay in the Phils for your lovely wife Avi during her pregnancy until your precoius baby girl birth and this is awsome vlog.aww
I admire your being so open minded and how you have adjusted so quickly with the country's culture, how you have accepted Philippines as your 2nd home .... discovering a lot of good and bad things from the Philippines . . . But you showed so much love with all the places you have been with Ave. You will surely enjoy more once you have gone to all the places you not seen or discovered as yet..... the beaches and the restaurants ....all will make you feel satisfied and comfortable ... thank you for sharing this vlog again. Congratulations to all the new updates and with the new beginings in the Philippines. You are a great person Martin and Ave is so lucky to have you forever. Bless you both always and your little princess.
This is a great piece of eye opening to anyone who wants to share his ideas of living in the Philippines. Martin, I greatly admired your determination to put all your dreams into realities and wish you all the best especially for the coming of your Princess. 👏👏🙏🙏😍
Ava shld take care of your baby.Dont go anywhere or the baby will be stressed .It is better to stay in your house and go to your favorite grocery, fastfood chains and restaurants. S&R is famous as well as Waltermarts, SM Malls & Megamalls and Ayala Malls.Wherever you go for as long as you consider taking care of your Baby and the happiness you get is worth it
MarVe’s idea of living in the Philippines now while Ave is pregnant is the right decision. Weighing the pros n cons between settling in Norway or in the Phils. is commendable 😘 ! Good luck 🙏 !
Happy you & Ave decided to stay in Philippines and upbring your soon Family Solhaugen’s 👨👩👧🏡 . Your strengt of mind , determination ,Ave’s fam & community of friends around , help up to make it easy-breezy🙌🏼👏😄🇵🇭!! Mabuhay.
It is truly amazing how open minded you are to change and embrace everything around you. I also live abroad and I miss my family and friends everyday. I do understand that for women during pregnancy is important to stay close to the family - I would do the same one day. But in General - how do you feel that you are not able to see your family and friends in Norway? I guess you also want them to be part of the baby’s coming period 😊 p.s Im visiting PH for first time next week. And I’ve got inspired by both of you to visit the country since Im following you ❤
Very much agree with Ave choosing to stay here for her mental health..coz being pregnant and after giving birth is something for us women that is so challenging which may affects our emotions.....
this a great vlog martin and ave martin you are a great husband four your wife and the baby you are a family men you have a great family with your wife ave its real life filipijnen al whis you al the best four you and your ave and the baby greetings
Yeah its nice to stay in the. Phils.for the meantime esp. On giving birth cause of the support Of the family, still much better for the future of your kids to stay in norway. Just an opinion. Nice vlog. ❤️
That good decision ave and martin,,its nice ave stay in the philippines because this is a first baby,if you are pregnant ,its nice you are near to your parents,because your mother or member of your family will help you if you give birth ,to your baby.
Welcome to the Philippines 🌴Martin. A sunshine 🌞country w smiling friendly people 😁 who love music 🎤🎼 n good food 🍤🥦. Ave has a happy supportive family 🥰. The coming baby girl Solhaugen 👩🦰 will also be a talented smart girl like her parents - MarVe ❤️❤️. God bless 🙏.
Ave it’s so lucky to be from 🇵🇭 it’s a wonderful country has everything I always wanted to visit but I live in South America very far one day I will visit
just enjoy life … build your own family, then Later … decision will come along at the right time. Enjoy Lang muna Sa Buhay. Since Ph.🇵🇭 is your 2nd Home now.
Happy for you Martin and thank you because you choose to stay here in our country I hope you and ave will stay here forever as your family get bigger..you are smart and I like your principle in life.❤❤❤
You know martin not only you love the philippine,many different country who married different filipina,they live it and stay in the philippines,and they tell that there are so many things that change to his life💓first philippines is a kind person and humble.
Good choice, I did that too with my daughter. So many help which you need when you give birth. You’re blessed you have a choice where to live. God bless.
Hello Martin and Ave good job on this video very entertaining. Martin, not sure if you already know but Jay AKA Jaycation should be arriving there this week. You didn't hear it from me coz he's very secretive lol. I'm sure you guys will meet up sometime and somewhere. You guys take care and Congrats on the upcoming baby
Almost all the questions that I have in mind about your life in the PH had been answered by you. Thank you.🙏 😊 Hoping that there will be a Part 2 so that more questions will be answered (maybe a Q&A vlog?)😊
Well done Martin! This is one of those blogs that has an A~ Ha moment for me.Sharing your insights and thoughts about stepping out of your comfort zone is hard, leaving family and friends behind is hardest and experiencing being comfortable with uncomfortable is very humbling. Also liked the QandA portion especially about your Visa status, any fun facts and trivias are always fun and interesting! God bless and take care with the little princess!
When S&R first opened it was wholesale and you could only get a membership if you had a business that was needful of the store supply. In the beginning it was really cheap. Every time I arrived in Davao we would stop at S&R and stock up before heading home. However now it has become a retail store and the prices have increased. The quality is good unfortunately the prices aren't any more. We don't shop there now. SM supermarkets have better prices. I came to Asia in 1996, if you come here with the attitude of "but back home we have this" then you won't last long. Have an open mind, adapt to the culture, learn the language, integrate yourself into society then the Philippines will welcome and accept you with open arms. This is my home now and I wouldn't change it for the world.
‘Sorry I didnt for you, i did it for me’ 😅 that’s dope! 😂 I'm loving the confidence, but maybe there's a smoother way to put it. Could just be a bit of a language thing. 😊
Proud of you Martin. Your flexible personality is commendable. Departing from your comfort zone is not easy and opted to settle in Asia (particularly the Philippines) is not a joke - in terms of the huge contrast in customs, traditions and way of life. Congratulations is in order for doing great, of course with the guidance of Ave, your lovely and supportive wife. A big thank you for loving my country and also for sharing this entertaining film which I enjoyed watching. Nice to see lolalovinit, Aunt Jing and some good friends. God bless and keep safe w/Ave.🤰👨👩👦♥️ (Not skipping the ads!)
Been a sibscriber since you 2 met. You are both inspiring and so full of light. Thanks for sharing From an American with Norwegian roots...(mom and dad born in Oslo and Lofoten) ❤
I’m so jealous with you Martin. I’m from Portland Oregon & I really think I will thrive better living in a warm environment. If I have to leave somewhere else, I would choose Philippines bc of the people, language, food & so many beautiful places to visit within the country. You’re so blessed🌼🌷🌸
Any foreigner traveling Philippines and embrace Filipino culture it's like a trap for them because Philippines is beautiful and unique country in this planet
And Philippines is an amazing country to live. Awesome, kind, beautiful people, their food is amazing & breathtaking islands & many places to explore♥️♥️♥️Someday I will definitely visit Philippines🌼🌷🌸
Such an awesome video Martin! Much appreciated ❤️ I'm originally from Armenia, though currently living in Laguna, Philippines. 🇵🇭 with my wife (filipina). And I would definitely agree with your words said on your video. Philippines is really such a beautiful country with beautiful people ❤️ It's always nice to meet new people, especially another foreigner living here in the Philippines! 🇦🇲🇵🇭 If you happen to be around Laguna, maybe we could grab a coffee ☕️️ Just let me know! Looking forward to hearing from you, Martin. All the best! 💪🏻💪🏻
Living in Asia like Philippines is you both have a wonderful life.. while here in Europe ( Norge / Sverige) är så tråkigt. ( tycker jag, ❄️🌨️❄️)Jag önskar att åka hem till Filippinerna snart så möjligt och leva bra.
Started to drink Bo's coffee when I watched it in your vlogs! Infairness, their iced coffee are good and also the one from 711 is so good! Now I always buy it when going to work 😭😭😭😭
This makes us so happy to read!! ❤☕ I am excited to try their subscription and get more familiar with the different filipino flavors. Stay happy and keep it up at work. Hope the coffee gives you power.
have you gone to Evia just along Daang Hari (back of Ayala Alabang. I think you would love the coffee shop /library there, shops & the food strip at thr second flr.
I believe it’s better to raise your children in Europe than in the Philippines… This country is so behind and poor! Your child will benefit more if they’re European citizen
One thing I learned when touring with “Western” friends: you can eat anything (anywhere too) - but don’t drink the tap water. Bottled water all the way!
I hope you’ll consider moving to Norway… better educational system, health care, way of thinking away from religious fanaticism, telerserye, tsismis, and titas.
I agree. Philippines have a lot to offer but the child needs to be in an environment that will give her more opportunities (not saying there's nothing in Manila) to grow within an environment that is open to reason and not overwhelmingly about religion and celebrity culture.
Hope ,forever kau. Ave seems have strong, and very independent personality. Not to mention she's way more older than martin. Shes ready to settle for her age, while martin looks like just beginning to enjoy life. Id be very surprised if they stick more than 10 years. Needs adjustment, like little submissive and not domeneering.
Oh.. barking at the wrong tree again? I read comments to this channel referring to Austria vloger..The couple you are referring from Austria were already separated. This is the youtube channel of Martin from Norway now happily married to a Filipina building a stable family. Fyi Martin is a product of a broken family with his past experienced am sure he will protect his own family to work as he can to remain intact. ( watch Martin's wedding vlog to hear his emotional speech) .Instead, pray for them to have a happy marriage life.❤
Finally we got to release this vlog! We have been filming it over quite some time as I really wanted to make sure we could provide some valuable insights for someone thinking of moving to Asia! ❤ Comment below your thoughts!
Your fortunate to marry a local that helps you learn & understand along the way …

Are you renting this place? Or have you bought it? I’m thinking of retiring there.
Good deciission Marve to choose to stay in the Phils for your lovely wife Avi during her pregnancy until your precoius baby girl birth and this is awsome vlog.aww

Martin, it’s time for you to apply for a spousal visa or A13 visa.
Martin, do yourself the favor to LAY the Weine bottles down. The cork, the quality of the wine and your stomach will appreciate it😉🍷
