Fantastic! This is the wonderful level of connection that I have felt on steem :)
If you had to pick, for someone who has never left 'the americas', would you start in the Philippines or in Indonesia? I have always wanted to visit an archipelago nation where every stop is a wonderfully different experience!
Hmm, good question! Well, im from Philippines, so i might be cheating, but i think it's a great first trip! 7000 islands so lots to choose from and you won't have trouble communicating with people, most people speak great English! We love Indonesia too though, i wonder what @eoj thinks about this!? He lived there for a year. The food is probably better in Indonesia than I PH! Haha!
Oh really?!
Yes I was leaning towards Philippines because we speak both english and spanish! Those are the top two languages there right?
Is the diet a lot of seafood because of all the sea?
Thanks for your great answers, I feel like I'm already planning in my head!
yes! @eoj speaks spanish and can understand a bit of my language, tagalog, but almost everyone you will meet speaks english :) there is GREAT seafood in the Philippines! near where im from, general santos city, it known to have the best tuna!
feel free to ask any more questions or tell me what you both might be looking for! and here, check out one of my top recommendations in a different part of the country, Coron, i did a blog on it recently: https://steemit.com/travelfeed/@suitcasemama/letsgoto-coron-philippines
be careful, youll want to go there right now after reading it!!! :)
Oh wow, I know what you mean, I am nervous to click that link because I might be swept off my feet and carried off to the airport!
I like the idea of your series, the #letsgoto where we want to drop everything and go today! That is perhaps not an available reality for all, but it is a very exciting bar to see set and great emotions to have while reading your travel article!
So, I think Philippines is a great choice! I love Indonesia as well, and the people are very friendly, but depending on where you go, you may find some people that don't speak English. In Philippines, you won't have any problems. Let us know when you go, we'd be happy to assist and help you find what you're looking for!
I love the steem community for this! It won't be this year, but after reading a lot of great travel articles, I do think it will be a lot sooner than we thought! The Philippines looks fantastic!
Bless you!
