i moved to palawan. and this is how it went.

hello friends! it’s been quite a while. i really took my time with this vlog because it holds a lot of meaning for me, and i wanted to tell the story right. it’s also one of the first vlogs where i actually sat down and talked to the camera—so much so that i completely forgot to introduce myself huhu so sorry for that! if you’re new here, hi, i’m Elly! i’ve been posting on youtube since late 2019 (back when i was still a med student doing study vlogs). now i’m slowly transitioning into the post-med school phase, where life feels a bit different—figuring out work, balance, and all that in-between. earlier this year, life took me to Palawan—somewhere i didn’t expect to call home for a while, but i’m glad i did. in this vlog, i bring you along through a season that felt like both an escape and a beginning. more than just a travel vlog, it’s a glimpse of me relearning how to slow down, to look at life beyond routines, and to rediscover parts of myself along the way. i wanted this video to feel like a time capsule of that chapter—messy, beautiful, and a little unhinged (in the best way) hope you enjoy this one ♡ stay safe! love always, elly belly 📥 Business & inquiries [email protected] 🤳🏼 Instagram & Tiktok @ellyb.elly 📓 chapters 0:00 Vlog Preview 0:32 i.
