I absolutely love the Philippines people. Been living here for 2+ years. I was in Boracay last year. Loved Boracay ❤
Thank you Brother. Stay safe
👋🥰🤚💜✋🏽🤗👍🏽💚💙❣️🇵🇭
Terry….just completed watching the whole video and I have to say it was quite entertaining with all the excerpts in between. Well done in presenting the highs and lows and the ebb and flows of traveling to Boracay and keeping a straight face along with that temperament. 😊
Nice teaser at the end for what is happening on the next vlog. I’m tuning in for sure!
It's all part of the experience brother, thanks for the kind words🙏
Damn ! That’s a lot of ride to go to Boracay.
My son from Chicago went there and he said it’s worth it.
Tourists numbers are controlled. There is no airport on Boracay island itself but instead the planes land on an adjacent big island called Antique with the airport being in the municipality of Caticlan.
Hes right!
@@doc2log Lets correct this. The main island is Panay. The province is Aklan. The town is Malay. Caticlan is a barangay. While Boracay is an island with 3 barangays. Both Caticlan and Boracay are in Malay town, Aklan province.
Not very convenient ha
The philippines are beautiful. The had some of the most beautiful coral reefs on the planet. 🪸
Where I want to go diving
Right off the bat you turned that elderly lady's in a wheelchair frown into a smile. We're off to a good start.
Boracay is a beautiful island. My family stayed at the Monaco Suites De Boracay. It's a private resort away from downtown.❤❤❤
In the Philippines, they helped their elders. It’s very presidential of them.
What a great video, Terry! 👏 👏 👏
Thank you for showing us Boracay.
Your very positive,thats good.keepsafe
I went there in May and yes just getting there is a little tricky!! But loved it, hope to go back. We stayed at station 1
Wow, I came from Philippines 🇵🇭 but I haven't been there yet in Boracay. Hope when I am going back home, one of my iterinary is Boracay 😊👍
Enjoy. Boracay is in my bucket list.
Glad to see you enjoy Boracay and the people..😊
I need to revisit this island! Great to see you enjoying your life! We only get one chance to get it right in this world, and you're on the right path. As usual, thoroughly enjoyed your vlog. Thank you
Big beachfront hotels/resorts like the Crimson Hotel have their own shuttleboats which bring their clients directly to their own hotel piers. Station 2 is ok you lile lots of people. Foam pool party happens at the Crimson resort.
@@doc2log Foam Pool? Now that’s a bait n’ click for sure! 👍🏻 👍🏻
Boracay has the softest sand I have ever walked in. Felt like pure flour
Beautiful Place Brother!🇺🇸
First thing we learned in the Philippines... " PATIENCE IS a virtue! " 😁 btw, aome of those security guards around are mostly trained ex-military / police guys to defend and protect you, whatever it takes...enjoy!💪👍😊
Thank you Barefoot 🦶🏿, now I’ve seen Boracay so I don’t have to go there anymore. Stay safe.
No liquor in pools please
Made me laugh when Doc Emmett Brown appeared giving instructions LOL, indeed a bit confusing hahaha
video quality is looking really good. And I love the back to the future! thanks for the video
Omg the process of getting to boracay is tiring
Im glad you made it. Have fun Terry.😊..
Wow!Every little detail on what to expect going to Boracay is shown here.Thanks for being positive and welcome to the Philippines 🇵🇭 😊
Thanks Winnie🙏
What a nice hotel!! Looks so clean and nice ambience
Another lovely vlog of yours Terry (Barefoot ) ...enjoy Boracay and have fun ❤️..🇵🇭🇨🇮
terry, please upload the next video asap... im exited... i just love all these videos you make.
So happy to hear it
14:33 Calamansi Juice! ... (With very relaxed Filipinas, on the side!)
Your hotel location is absolutely sick. Connected right into d-mall. Gorgeous hotel. Must have cost a decent amount to stay there
Exactly right my friend. I went off season so it wasn't bad. Three nights cost me $267 so less than $90/night in a great spot
@@BarefootVlogger that's surprisingly decent
I really enjoyed my vacation there It was a very nice place. Thank you Sir for showing the world our best tourist destination❤
I’m waiting for Boracay part 2❤.
go straight to palawan islands a bit more expensive but beauty is almost indescribable
Im waiting this blog..
Wow they actually have baseboards between the floors and walls. Unbelievable, rarely seen there.
Good morning sir barefoot!!
Enjoy to visit in boracay sir.😊
First time ever im actually seeing the process of getting to Boracay. Everyone else only shows the beaches and hotels, but never the process you just showed.
That's what I'm here for
Excellent work, Terry I love your editing. You’re superstar in live streaming.
So kind, thank you brother🙏
I was in Boracay in November 2012 for 3 days enjoyed my stayed there did some outdoor activities such as Banana boat Ride, helmet diving feeding the fish and Sky parasailing 😃😊
Enjoy And Stay Safe Sir...💐💐
You can visit also the island of siargao and palawan its also the best beaches in the world
Best vlog about Boracay that I’ve watched, ever! I’ve been to Boracay last year with my son and his fiancée (now wife); I only booked an affordable hotel where we could sleep through the help of Reyboks Travel Tour. We were picked up from the airport and brought us to the port to ride on a boat- all included in what I paid. Not stressful at all! Also Island Hopping. It’s just a short trip but we had so much fun!
Please enjoy Terry, be safe and looking forward to watching your next videos! I shared your vlog to my son 😊 Hope he will also subscribe.
Thank you Jean!🙏
At night, eat at station 2, pick the seafood you like and tell them how you want it cooked and eaten by the beach watching people passing by.
Sir, there are many more beautiful places waiting for you in the Philippines, it's more fun in the Philippines. 😍 ENJOY
What an experience Barefoot!!
Boracay looks fabulous is it more expensive than other destinations ???
Continued safe travels Terry...
Thanks Bill! As mainly a popular tourist driven economy the island is more expensive than other places in the Philippines but I still found it to be a good value
el nido and coron palawan is also popular for boating or diving and scenic view
Boracay is a famous tourist beach resort but the management as well as the local lgu should improve their service facilities for the tourist to enjoy much of their time going there and prevent negative feedbacks
you can take your private boat from caticlan directly to your hotel in boracay
Another fun video Mr. Miami, I’m Mr. Clearwater so hope you don’t mind me saying, lol. Love Miami!
Yeah, as you discovered, the best way to navigate the whole airport to airport, boat to boat, shore to resort thing is to pay a little extra and have your resort coordinate all of that maze of ticket purchases is to get you escorted right from the airport to the resort. We did it with Ambassador in Paradise resort this past summer, and they tool care of everything including carrying all our luggage and having our own speed boat (open air) 😎 which made it soooo convenient. Nice resort you stayed at, btw… not too big yet very nicely designed with that personal touch. Have fun, stay well!
Clearwater beach, one of my all-time favorites. Thanks John and stay safe over there
Solid Place! Looks fun.
I love Philippines! Because I was born there! ❤️🫰🏻
Back when I was a kid we would disembark directly on the beach. You definitely should only wear shorts or skirts when coming because you would get wet.
Coffee and coke zero is cool my book, this is coming from a younger guy who loves his energy drinks! I'm jealous your energy needs are met easily; would entice me to solo travel more.
I was there last year and we weren’t dropped off on the beach.
a bit of a hassle dazzle but barefoot makes it triumphantly 🍻
I went there last august and already missed boracay truly a paradise and my only complaint the system from airport to port is challenging 😆
As usual my friend...
Always here to supprort you...
Due respect to you as you respect our people at our country...
Be safe werever you are...
Hope to cross path with you in time...
Thank you my friend🙏🙏🙏
I truly appreciate the Filipino people for letting me be me, without any judgement and have enjoyed their company. It's been one of my greatest life experiences🙏
@@BarefootVlogger thats why i afmire your advocasies...inspite of all the odds the Filipino is suffering at this time...
Smiles on their faces remains....
You are very natural...
Genuine in your affection to us Filipinos...
i respect you a lot my friend...
its been years im watching vlogs of any other one but you show us respect dignity and kindness...
Salute to you again my ..
as ived if ever ever we cross path...
ill will remember you from the bottomof our hearts Filipinos...
Mabuhay ka and more power to you and your channel...
Be watching you more and often..
Bless you Bro🙏🙏🙏👋
Boracay is awesome
Been to Boracay back when it wasn't that developed yet. It's so different now. Almost citified... Anyway, nice to see a vlogger who tries to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. :)
Thanks Moondust, getting there is always one of my favorite parts
Station 2 is very crowded and I didn’t enjoyed it. I stayed at Blue Waters and Fairways and Movenpick which i really enjoyed a lot. Both resorts has its own private beach.
Its true but the advantage is you’re right between stations 1&2 and D Mall is right there
I love Buracay. 😂I usually go with friends there, not alone, get lost boat ride was crazy experience
Woow so nice boracay .wish i can go there oneday .😊❤
Nice to see you at a Beach walk again Barefoot ! You love the sand! Really nice Island Paradise! 🏝 on the upswing there's Frost here this morning! 😊🥶
Stay warm you too!
I can't believe they dropped you off at the beach right on the sand. When I visited earlier this year we got off at a dock and electric trikes took us to our resorts down the main road. Hauling luggage through sand is insane
I did not buy pre packages tho. I just paid for everything as I went along
yah you're right! landing on the beach is something! feels like an explorer adventurer! he bypassed the normal route in the port which is boring hehe😅✌
@@agentbond2004 That General MacArthur'esque landing was very fitting.
5:16 Great Scott!! That was funny, you should've paid attention! kidding aside😅 OMG! Barefoot really knows how to make an entrance to the hotel. We're glad everything went smooth plane boat beach wow! Also dodged a bullet with the tropical storm further north of PH, lucky you! This is next level wowness, makes us wanna go there again! Enjoy man!😃✌👌🇵🇭🇺🇸
Thank you my friend!
Great Video.I like Boracay . Coming there is a hustle and a little bit annoying bit it’s ok worth it . Enjoy your stay!!
Love watching your videos,to bad didn’t see you in boracay, just came back yesterday in the bad weather 😊
Sorry I missed you, thanks Naome!
That was a great near ASMR video Terry, of the experience from Cebu to Cataclan to Feliz hotel. Anytime the '.. is half the fun' phrase is used, you know someone's patience was tested. Let alone a New Yorker's - 'but hey I'm not complaining' 😅 I could feel the Trump coming out of you 'This could be done better👌👌, a little better'
A lot of vloggers ignore the journey for the destination, but done right it's as interesting as any trip. Impeccable editing too with the George Carlin and Back to the Future inserts. Lol the calamansi juice- I could bathe in it. We could feel the humidity. Great video as usual Barefoot onward and upward.
Great perspective Jim, thanks buddy. I think the "getting there" helps me bring you with me. Thanks for taking the journey brother
I love Boracay Island ❤️🇵🇭🌴 🛶 Weve been there with my Brother last January 2024! Enjoy your time!! and feel the sands with your bare feet… it’s healthy ❤️⛅️ The most beautiful sunset in the World 🌅 #iloveBoracay ❤️🌴🇵🇭watching from Germany 🇩🇪
LOL the title! "Getting here is half the fun" 😂
Hi Terry ihope you enjoy traveling around the phillipines i always watching all your vlogs i wish you can visit also in Batangas ihope you have more subscribers to come take and enjoy❤️❤️❤️
Your fantastic you make them and me feel comfortable. Your very friendly and warm
Thanks bb!
You should visit El Nido, Palawan next, brother! You’ll be amazed! go to Big lagoon!
Stay tuned
I was waiting on this finally more fun positive places seeing only one side of Philippines the struggling hard working class was an eye opener but it’s like constantly showcasing skid row and assuming this is the only place in lose Angeles.
Welcome my friend! Was hoping you visit that beautiful island, I was born about 1 1/2 hr. from there . My first time there was in the ‘80s. Have fun my friend and God Bless!❤❤❤Watching you from the place the old Palisades Amusement Park used to be in NJ!Safe travels!!!😂😂😂
The Palisades, I remember it well. Thanks Frank!
That’s so beautiful nice beach 😍
Wow you are in Boracay now Mr. Handsome enjoy your stay❤❤❤😊
Wow! Enjoy your adventure in boracay sir👍👍👍
Looking forward to your next video,,,,enjoy travel Sir
Enjoy safe flight ✈️ anywhere u go Sir Barefoot 🙏 God always with you 🙏
Terry From Boracay to Iloilo City
Boracay looks pretty rad
Lovely Terry thanks for sharing , lovely people visualised by the one and only BFV
So I've been waiting your vedio to upload sir i haven't been in boracay sir thank you for touring us i notice some people there they take advantage from airport to feliz hotel that is too much charging that is not pair but anyway stay safe always sir
Wow welcome Sir to The Island of Boracay 😊 my province is there in Kalibo, but it's almost 10 years i didn't got home yet for vacation because I'm currently working here in Doha, Qatar and i miss so much my country province,❤ Thank you so much for showing us and i see again my province place ❤😊
Please Enjoy and Be Safe GOD BLESSED 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks Jean. My last trip to Bangkok I landed in Doha. That is some airport. Maybe next time I can visit the city. Thanks for your blessings🙏
@@BarefootVlogger GOD Shield you always to all your journey travel visits anywhere 😊 Always be safe and Be happy 🙏🏻 Take Care Sir.
this is why more and more locals are opting to travel in nearby countries than domestic tourism in our own country, expensive fares, complicated travel, etc. you get tired before you even get to the destination. boracay, palawan, name it. its a hassle to get there if you live in manila, cebu, etc
I doubt you are still in Boracay but if you are go to Diniwid beach. it is just north of station one and can walk from station one to Diniwid beach. Best chilli place to spend the day and see the sunset. Sit on the beach or chill out at Dinibeach bar and restaurant or the very local bar. Not crowded with a local vibe.
Also great snorkeling here right off the beach.
BTW LFGM next season !
Great suggestion thanks brother, stay tuned...We'll get 'em next year! LFGM
Look for Philippine hats in the souvenir shops there
I’m a new follower, love your videos, I hope to visit the Philippines for the first time soon, I’m from the uk 🇬🇧 your living a dream , I hope I can do it to , thank you for sharing your adventures 👍
Thanks for joining me. Ran into a lot of your countryfolk here and had some good conversations. Safe travels
Your Vlog is interesting not just a Vlog but your grateful appreciative and giving ....God Bless and more subcribers
Thanks Mia🙏
there is another docking area with a pier that the ferries dock at... it can be a bit of a process to get there but we'll worth it. you would be more comfortable wearing shorts and sturdy sandles and losing the heavy vest... lol great video, was there in January. take a ride around the island, check out the new coast area and bulabog beach as well...
The vest is actually very light and exclusively used for the pockets only when I'm flying. Thanks Randy
Just enjoy brother 💕😘 new subscriber here, Overseas Filipino workers in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 😍😍😍😍
Thanks for joining me Noah🙏
Enjoy ,,,an be happy Boracay.
I was there last may 14th 2024, it's amazing island , and so beautiful 😍, enjoy your stay
Boracay is beautiful beach with white sand but the journey is a bit hustle.
LOVE the Carlin reference. No joke, I was listening to that entire "airline announcements" bit at work earlier tonight, lol.
I knew you'd like that one Steve-O
Next time try 2GO goiing to boracay. Check it out maybe can be part of your next visit to a another island here in PH.
My family and I enjoyed the video... Everything looks amazing..
R u ready for the word series?
Be safe my friend 🙏 🤲
I'm ready for Spring Training
🙂🙂
The first time I visited Boracay was in 1983...it was untouched, no electricity and it was peaceful. There were already tourists but only a few knew of Boracay then. In the evening, you can hear people talking in their respective huts. Some strumming the guitars and singing. It was very relaxing with just a few visitors on the island. We used petromax as light. Compared to now, you can say a bit primitive. It was my first time as a teenager back then to see foreign women topless and men in g-strings. There were no hotels but huts and cottages. In the evening, the sand had that incandescent glow. I guess l was lucky to see Boracay when it was still untouched by developers.
Very well-written comment. You may want to write a book about your experiences.
@@BarefootVlogger I was there with the family for three days only and didn't really explore the whole island by going to the other side like my brothers and cousins. As a souvenir, what we brought home was the very fine white sand in a bottle. Thanks for the encouragement to write a book about it. I forgot to tell you the magical effects of fireflies around the trees at night. Glimpses of my memory. I wish l can remember all if a book will be written. Traveling to Boracay from Bacolod City then by land was not easy but once our foot touched the island all the tiredness left our body. We didn't waste time jumping into the clear waters for a swim. For the many hours we traveled on that dusty rough road and taking a bangka ride from Caticlan to Boracay, it was all worth it.
As a writer myself, I have an "ear' for good prose. Your storytelling ability is clear my friend. I think people would love to read about your experiences.
Sir when you leaving borocay please visit Baguio vigan and also la union this city is in northern part of Philippines i know you will like it when go here sorry for my bad English
Your English is great my friend. I hope to make it to Baguio soon
@@BarefootVlogger yeah Baguio is great when ber months is coming the temperature become more cold and air is fresh and also many activities you can do and many tourist attractions sorry for my bad English hehehehe
It's not the only way onto the island.
Luckily been 4 times 😊 went b4 clean up and was more a party island 🏝️ but an amazing place 😁
