Foreigner loses it at Dangerous Volcano

This is my vlog going to and around the Taal Volcano. This is the World's smallest, active volcano. It has been dangerously active even in the last two months. But it is not only the volcano that is dangerous! The road to there is incredibly steep and it is set on and descends the ridges of the greater Taal caldera- basically we are travelling to a volcano within a larger volcano! This journey takes me to Taal Volcano using the steepest road to Taal- this is an incredibly steep road, and my little ADV160 has to negotiate declines that I have never done before! Then I ride a small bamboo supported boat around the Taal Volcano. Along the way there are several dangerous and sad moments, and I bring this video alive with a touch of my sense of Australian / New Zealand humour. Visit me on my vlog and ask me about that story about how I broke my uncles boat- It still makes me laugh when I think about that! A little about myself that you might not know- I was born in New Zealand in the beautiful area of the Coromandel Peninsula. I left immigrated to Australia when I was six, and so lost my Kiwi accent. My professional life included being a teacher, musician, and I ran several small businesses. In December 2023 I came to live in the Philippines fulltime.
