In 2023, I was on a journey to paradise. Today I’m back. Some asked me to film in El Nido, but I won’t.

The reason: I stayed in 2023 for almost a week. Now, it’s just a stopover, before I’m heading to Coron with a boat. But the old video is still online: youtu.be/D5Ufp0csi9Y?...
El Nido with Rainstorms, Dolphins & Glamping - Journey to Paradise - Episode 3
In 2019, I came across some pictures of this place and instantly knew that I had to visit. I booked a flight, but unfortunately, COVID-19 struck and I had to cancel everything. Now, more than three…

This is probably the best Grab driver I ever had. He stopped on a corner to buy snacks. Then he offered me some kind of Philippine donuts. We drove around for 20 minutes. Being back in Southeast Asia reminds me of how kind people could be. Legend!

Today’s plane is cute. Off to El Nido.

Walking around in Cebu, Philippines 🇵🇭

A great first day in Cebu. Fort San Pedro, Magellan's Cross, Carbon Market and Colon. And many more places.

Philippines being the Philippines.

I was almost 6 hours out, but just moving 1.5 hours. At the 7-Eleven, I met an Australian guy and was talking with him for 3 hours about life. And on the road, I met some locals and was talking with them also. It was a fun day in Cebu.

Landed in Cebu. And had the first almost heart attack. My phone and my watch were super loud.

But correct me. That volcano is not nowhere nearby of Cebu, it’s in Albay? Right?

This is the route I’ll take the next days.
Finally, some days off ✌️💛

Somehow I’m confused. This is my bag for 22 days on the road. And somehow it’s not full. What did I forget to bring?
February 13, 2026 at 12:31 PM
I would say, we did it, right?

While I am on the way to my next adventure in the Philippines, I am posting some screenshots from my newest video. I was walking through Malate, Pasay, and Poblacion. What a great weekend! Amazing people all around. Stay tuned, the video is coming Thursday.

Tomorrow evening, I will start my holidays. 😅
What do you think? Will my number of open tasks be under 10?

(It looks worse than it is. I also have my packing list within those 100.)

I am testing @aeronautapp.com on my Mac.

It’s still a bit buggy, but I have to say, this looks very promising. Just, it would be so good if I could finally sync the timeline position with iOS. (I know, I know 😆). For Mac, it’s the first time I feel this way about Bluesky.

Do you remember Foursquare? That app to check in? Today, I met a person I followed for 10 years, for the very first time. She had still Swiss coins at home, and she knew that I’m Swiss. We met at the MTR station to exchange money and talked for 40 minutes. 😀

Son did set up his own Discord server to chat with his YouTube followers. So I joined the community.

Learning of today? Bro, I need a translation app. But I learned also today: «Alr br nc to meet ya»

So, I just finished my edit about my last Manila trip in summer 2025. So yes, it's time to pack for the next trip to the Philippines 🇵🇭💙

A clear 12:0 win today vs. Qi Yi Football Club in today’s Jockey Club Youth Football League game for the boys of MLFA. Congratulations! And congratulations for the clean sheet to the goalkeeper in our family - again!

I realized that, I translated for my employee an English email to English. Because it started with a German "Hallo" instead of the English "Hello“, I sent it to automatic translation to make it easier for my staff. I wrote: "Here is the English translation: ..."

It's time to take a holiday 😳

Who is the best YouTuber in the family? The question is answered. And I lost. My son reached today 2 Million views. Congratulations to him! Proud of you, son!

Good night Tuen Mun. It was great seeing you.

Here we go. My reach on Threads vs. X. Mostly the same posts.

Users on X ask often who is using Threads. I would ask who is using X?! If you post positive content, it’s a place you can ditch easily.

Do you know the time when we listened to one tape half a year long? It’s a long time ago… today, I’m reaching 1000 different songs within 29 days.

Editing my loudest video yet. And I'm laughing 😂 It’s always more fun in the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤️

Arriving home yesterday brought also the challenge that there is no flushing water available - since Friday up to Wednesday. So I was teaching my son how to use a bucket or simply the showerhead.

Arriving at the office, the second good news: no flushing water for the whole day.
