"If you know us, we are a couple who's pretty much made Southeast Asia our second home (Rachel is from the Philippines and we traveled in Southeast Asia the longest in the beginning of our couple travels in 2015). We bounced between the beautiful chaos of Thailand and the island paradise of the Philippines. We've lived, loved, and learned so much from both places, and we get why people always ask, "Which one's better for a trip?""
"While Thailand wraps you up in its bustling streets, mouth-watering food, and yes, those oh-so-fun tuk-tuk rides, the Philippines sweeps you off your feet with its endless islands, the friendliest people you'll ever meet, and spots so beautiful you gotta pinch yourself to believe they're real. Living in the Philippines has shown us a different side of travel - the kind where you become part of a community and learn what resilience really means."
A couple made Southeast Asia their second home; Rachel is from the Philippines and the couple traveled extensively throughout the region starting in 2015. Thailand and the Philippines offer contrasting travel experiences: Thailand delivers bustling streets, vibrant street food, tuk-tuk rides, lively nightlife, and serene temples. The Philippines offers an island-focused paradise with countless beaches, very friendly people, strong local communities, and a sense of resilience formed through living there. Travel choices depend on whether a traveler prefers cultural urban energy, nightlife, and street food or island-hopping, close-knit communities, and pristine beaches.
