I used to direct A-list celebs. Now I argue with tuk-tuk drivers, kayak into sketchy caves, and film people getting lost on scooters in countries they can’t pronounce...

🚨 BANTAYAN TRIP COMING UP! 🚨
Back when I was in Cebu, soooo many of you were yelling at me in the comments:
-“Go to Bantayan!!”
-“Bantayan is the real paradise!”
-“Why are you even in Cebu if you're not going to Bantayan!?” 😂
WELL… you won!
I’m heading to BANTAYAN ISLAND, and I want YOUR tips.
✅ Where should I go?
✅ What food should I try?
✅ What weird/fun/surprising stuff should I look out for?
✅ Got a secret beach or favorite local spot?
Drop your wisdom below — and if you’ve been to Bantayan, flex your local knowledge like a tour guide.
Let’s make this next adventure one for the books..

Ladies and Gentlemen…. So apparently I’ve unlocked this fancy new YouTube Community tab thing :)
No clue what I’m doing with it yet, but I figured we can just wing it together.
This’ll be where I post random updates, dumb thoughts, behind-the-scenes stuff, and probably some highly questionable travel polls. (Like… “Would you rather lose your passport or your phone?” 😬)
BUT—this thing isn’t just for me.
You can post too.
And you should.
Got a travel hot tip for me?
A pic from your last trip?
Want to yell at me about my food choices in Siargao?
Post it here. Go wild.
Let’s make this thing fun.
Say hi below, and drop your first post like we’re in the world’s weirdest hostel group chat.
Cool? Cool.
Ray :)

GOT TIPS FOR ME? I love traveling in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and I'm in Siargao now - but I'm heading to Cebu City soon for a trip... Do you have any TIPS for what I should see or experience there? I heard the Mactan island area is nice?
