▬▬▬
i've just checked in and i am glamping
today
i
want to show you something very very
special so queer here told me that
there's turtle hatching right in front
so this is my tenth for tonight i'm so
excited the big question is did i feel
safe because as you can see
um i don't have a lock here so i'm all
by myself
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
today i'm taking off another item of my
bucket list of things to do in the
philippines and one of those things is
actually glamping here in el nido and
i'm so so happy to be here i just made
it in time for sunset it is beautiful
i'm currently on nakpan beach at the
glamping side and yeah this is my tent
i'm going to sleep in this tent tonight
super super excited i'll give you a
quick room tour but yeah oh sunset is
hitting really hard so this is
this is my front yard
not bad at all lots of palm trees and
wow the sun looks so big i definitely
wanted to see the sun for a little bit
but as long as we have some sunlight i'm
just going to give you a quick room tour
all right so this is the entrance area
to my glamping tent it is so beautiful i
have these two sanchez right in front
surrounded by
these beautiful trees here and nature
sound
and some music from the bar over there
but yeah that's fine yeah so this is my
tent
for tonight i'm so excited
uh i have two beds in here a beautiful
lamp
and on this side i have aircon
um a fan
a hanger a little laundry
just in case i want to relax read a book
or scroll social media i don't know i
don't know if they have internet here
but uh
yeah i think it's better not to be
online and just enjoy the full
experience i have a beach towel here and
a little table with some amenities what
is this soap
shower cap toothbrush and my own little
fridge
so tomorrow when i wake up i will wake
up to this
this is not bad at all right something
that is super surprising for me is that
you know i have aircon here i slept in
the philippines in tents already but i
didn't have aircon and it can get really
really hot during the night time so i'm
super happy that i have a
acorn in case i need it and
yeah waking up is going to be amazing
i'm going to give you a full tour
tomorrow of the property
and just enjoy today the first night
here and let you know tomorrow how it
went
[Music]
good morning guys
it is the next day
and i just woke up to some phenomenal
news before i tell you how the night
went in my tent i
want to show you something very very
special
[Music]
told me that there is turtle hatching
right in front
so i'm headed over there i already see
some people that's so exciting
[Music]
that one's gonna win
yeah
so how many turtles are they
50 50 50 turtles wow
and they hatched today and now they are
making their way to the ocean it is such
a magical experience
[Music]
wow what a nice thing to wake up to so
cute some of the turtles made it and
they hatched um during the night and the
other ones are not quite ready yet they
will probably walk to the ocean later on
but yeah i love this sustainable project
from the glamping place super super
lovely and yeah this is basically the
beach i wanted to show you this later
but since i'm here
this beach is pretty big
and beautiful really nice so now i'm i
think i'll head back to the tent and
kind of
get some coffee
[Music]
so this is the turtle station the next
is here the next is here so the eggs
from today were here the next ones that
will hatch are they
so cute love it so that was not the only
station they have
several other stations here so if you
imagine 50 turtles hatched today that's
great progress love this project this
initiative
[Music]
okay i'm back by my tent as you can see
in the background before i go in i have
to wash my feet because i'm full of sand
so i just need to get rid of that and
something that you have to be aware of
are sand flies here so
they are called nicknicks and they're
super super tiny and when they bite it's
worse than a mosquito bite so definitely
put on some coconut oil and use some bug
repellent
this piece of repellent
okay let's talk about the first night of
glamping here yeah i actually slept
really really well i was super quiet you
can hear a little bit of the ocean and
i'm so happy i have this acorn because
if you can see right now i'm sweating
it's super humid so that's a plus to
have aircon here the big question is did
i feel safe because as you can see
um i don't have a lock here so i'm all
by myself in my tent and
nobody else to protect me
and yeah it was actually safe nobody
came in
um there is a guard in the front and
there are several guards here who are
just making sure that guests are safe
there's also a door that gets closed
during the night time so super super
safe experience i would recommend to put
your valuables in the safe just just in
case but yeah otherwise it was a very
very pleasant night super nice
experience and now i need to get
showered so
yeah
let's show you that
[Music]
so this is the toilet and shower um it's
a shade bathroom so
you have to wait in line in case there
are people there but nobody here so i'm
going to get a shower just a quick sneak
peek
[Music]
so here's a little bathroom here's my
bag
toilet is on this side
and shower is on that side okay i'll
leave you guys outside because i'm not
going to show you how i shower
alright tea shower is done after
breakfast
[Music]
okay i'm in the main area i skipped
breakfast because i was just busy with
other things but yeah this is the main
restaurant here
so as you can see it's directly located
by the beach
super nice view and you can just relax
over there
ah what a stunning beach and you have a
lot of food options here international
menu
even healthy stuff smoothie bowls and
stuff and i am going to show you the
pool and then i think i pretty much
showed you the whole property oh no wait
a second there is one more thing all
right so this is what i wanted to show
you so in case you're not a glamping fan
you still have some
normal hotel rooms here which you can
book super nice property i love it
there's a little pool area that i still
have to show you
so bear with me okay back to the
glamping side wow there's trees by the
way i just met one of you guys viewer
from the us and i was told that the
island
in the back here belongs to manny
pacquiao
it's quite crazy if you think i mean
owning a whole island in this paradise
it's
unbelievable
so that was the pool area and i forgot
to mention they also have
campfire stations where you can just
stay during the night time
enjoy yourself and you know watch the
stars during night time but yeah this
day has been phenomenal and a completely
new experience really loved it i hope

laid back vlog i was not
