We are based in California. My Wife is from Kalibo, Aklan, Philippines, and my roots are from the Azores Islands, Portugal. We have started this YouTube page to share our travels back and forth from California, the Philippines, and more. We will have a variety of videos from Travel, Cooking, and Culture differences and similarities among anything else that pops up.
Thank you for visiting our channel!

Relaxing at PAUL In Rome before heading to Milan and then Piacenzia. We were just at PAUL in BGC Manila last year! Good food and comfortable place to burn some time while waiting for our train.
