And yes, it was just as incredible as it sounds! :D A few years ago the three of us took off on a backpacking trip across Asia and Europe. Our second stop was the Philippines. After exploring the island of Cebu we flew across to Puerto Princessa on Palawan Island and travelled up to El Nido along Bacuit Bay. By the end of our 2nd day, we owned a traditional Filipino banka boat. This is Part One of one of the most incredible experiences we've ever had, which had a profound impact on the course of our lives. The video covers buying the boat, our early expeditions to iconic locations like Entula Island, Big Lagoon and Shimizu Island, climbing the peak behind El Nido Proper and venturing to Malabina Island. Part Two is coming soon! ______________________________________________ https://www.travelsketchsailing.com/ ☝Check out the website for more info on us, the places we go and products we use 📷 After backpacking Asia, road tripping Europe and doing a bit of van life, we’re now exploring the world aboard our Leopard 45 catamaran. 🎶 Music from Artlist ➼ Get yourself 2 months free with a subscription https://artlist.io/Telicia-1577425 0:00 Intro 0:55 Buying a Filipino Fishing Boat 2:50 Exploring Bacuit Bay 8:20 Climbing El Nido's Peak 10:42 Malabina Changed Our Lives #sailing #travelvlog #boatlife #travel #philippines #lifestyle #island #asia #adventure NFL: https://www.noforeignland.com/boat/travelsketch?sid=6433083660173312&tc=1696187535207
