Everyone told us the best place to visit in the Philippines was Palawan! To make the most of our first time in Palawan, we found ourselves a beautiful Air Bnb to really rest and relax in that is right on the beach. We are staying in Busuanga, Palawan, which is near to Coron and Coron Island (don't worry, we'll be visiting Coron as well!). We chose to stay in Busuanga in the North of Palawan because of the luxury Air Bnb that is really secluded and has direct access to the beach as well as a private pool for the property!
Palawan is so famous because it is said to have many of the best beaches in the Philippines, and in today's video we wanted to see if that was true for ourselves. We boarded a boat right from the beach at our luxury air bnb and spent the day touring two nearby islands that are rarely visited by foreigners. The only other tourists we saw on the islands were local Filipinos who were on holiday from nearby cities.
As it turns out, the beaches on Palawan Island, Philippines are as incredible as everyone says they are! We don't yet know if these are the best beaches in the Philippines, but we were blown away by the incredible views we had of the beaches and also of the sea life that we could see snorkeling right from the beach. Bringing my parents here for their holiday in the Philippines is so special. Palawan has turned out to be such a beautiful place to go on vacation with family, and we are so lucky to be sharing our experiences here with my parents!

======================
Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on YouTube, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.
