This one is personal.
Living in the Philippines taught me a lot about warmth, connection, and generosity; but it also forced me to confront something I’d been fighting for years: my need for solitude in a world that celebrates constant togetherness.
This video isn’t a criticism of Filipino culture. It’s an honest look at what it can feel like to be an introvert in a deeply social place, and how learning to honor quiet changed the way I show up... in travel, friendships, and life.
If you’ve ever felt drained by “mandatory fun,” or wondered why alone time feels so necessary, I think you’ll understand this one.
I’d love to hear your thoughts after you watch 👇

Quick check-in: there won’t be a video this week. I’m in between places and taking a few quiet days before the next chapter.
The next video goes live January 5; a reflective one about being an introvert in the Philippines.
Thanks for the patience and for being here.

Before I leave the Philippines, I want to say a sincere thank you to ‪@jeffhamac6662‬ and ‪@31Reyn‬ for the holiday support. It meant a lot during a transitional stretch.
And thank you to everyone who’s been quietly following along. This chapter is closing, but the journey isn’t. 🤍

With the rainy season here in Siargao, I'm remembering one of the scariest moments of my life, in Bolivia (It's not the time I went blind!). Have you seen this one yet? 🌧️ https://youtu.be/qpPqlwFZHSY

I just updated the look of this video because I felt the old one didn't capture how hard this actually was.
Have you seen my Philippines food fail yet?

Tomorrow’s video was one of the hardest I’ve ever made.
“No Food Challenge Disaster | Solo Trekking Philippines” goes live here tomorrow…
and it’s already live on Patreon for early access ❤️
If you missed the setup, the prep video is still up:

Those warnings? They mattered more than I expected.
I also want to take a moment to say thank you. Truly.
To my new Channel Members, everyone who sent Super Thanks, and my Patreon supporters - you are the reason I can keep choosing stories like this instead of playing it safe.
This channel exists because of your trust, encouragement, and belief in slow, honest adventure storytelling. Whether you comment, share, watch quietly, or support financially - I see you, and I’m grateful.
See you tomorrow.
This one changed me. 🌿
