My journey
My journey commenced in February 2022, exploring various parts of the Philippines, including Cebu City, Bohol, and other stunning locations.
Through my Youtube Channel, I aim to share my experiences as a retired expat living in the Philippines. From managing daily expenses to navigating cultural differences, my goal is to provide valuable insights and tips for those contemplating retirement in this captivating country.
The Good and the Bad
Living in this enchanting land has its highs and lows, and I will provide an honest account of both. While the stunning landscapes, friendly locals, and affordable lifestyle are definite positives, I will also discuss challenges such as adjusting to a new culture and managing expectations.
Aside from my retired life, I have also been blessed with Janet, my loving wife in Dumaguete.
I will also share my perspectives on being married and building a family in the Philippines.
Join Me on This Adventure
Retirement is an exciting phase of life, and doing it in a beautiful country like the Philippines makes it even more special. So, come along with me as I embark on this adventure, sharing my stories, learnings, and insights.
I hope to provide a glimpse into the expat life in the Philippines and inspire others to consider it as an option for their retirement journey. So, let’s connect and explore this amazing country together!
See you on my channel!
Cheers, Mike.
