Since 2012 I’ve been traveling through various islands of the Philippines as a full-time Expat and spent 1999 living in Vietnam.

Share with me my ongoing adventures of life in the Philippines. Hopefully you find my observations helpful in your own adventures.

  2. Glad to hear you will still be making videos. Especially the livestreams. Happy to hear life is going great for you.

  3. Ok, I’m going to say it, I still really hope you keep posting here regularly and on Latenight, I had to at least ask, right?

  4. Hello Henry i have a same cold you have! By the way Henry congratulations that you and Vi got engaged. And did Vi’s home province got damaged by typhoon Odette? And Reekay can your mom Abel or unable to Abel to travel? If she’s Abel to travel maybe you two and your grown children could go on a one week cruise. Am I have been watching video clips in YouTube of a travel agency called Harr Travel the founder/travel manager named Danny and his camera man did some walkthrough tours on different cruise ships.

  5. Don’t know if you know this, but I’ve read that 50% of omicron infections are
    similar to a bad cold. Your friend needs to get Dr. Richard Berstein’s book
    on managing diabetes. Nobody knows more than he does on understanding
    and handling this disease. I’m diabetic and he’s been a lifesaver for me.

  6. My Filipina girlfriend in Siquijor Island, has her birthday today. They have free movement. She was able to go buy food for her party. Dumaguete is pretty free movement too. Keep the faith guys. We will get there!

  7. Great update. Getting married is the way to go, then regardless you can enter the Philippines as you like. I should of married my girl in 2019 when i had the chance.

  8. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND VI! I’m very happy for the both of you! It is always very special when two people meet and make that special connection! Sorry to hear that you won’t be making your videos as often, but change is good. Best wishes on your next chapter in your adventure! Take care and enjoy the ride!

  9. That’s the new norm. A simple cold now is Covid suspect. So sad. Glad to hear you are doing well. Love your Mom. I miss talk to her

  10. Sounds like omicron reekay. You can afford to to live in PH with no youtube income?

  11. All of Panay Island now is Level 3 at least till end of month. Just the usual craziness with no vax/no entry w/malls/markets but no consistency as some days everything seems normal w/little or no restrictions. Endless bureaucracy & just canceled a Boracay trip for next month . Your early summer guess of opening up would be welcomed but also may be optimistic. Happy New Year & good luck to you as I probably would not of came here back in 2017 if it wasn’t for your helpful vids.

  12. I had been a long time Patreon supporter of yours. I transferred my support here as a Member of your channel when you moved your content from Patreon to YouTube. I really felt your content had value and was happy to support you financially. I’m actually kinda sad to hear that you’ll be demonetizing your channel, feels like this is the 1st step to you actually ending the channel. Anyways it probably is a sign that you are doing well financially and no longer need the income so thats a positive sign. I do continue to wish you well and hope everything works out for the best with Vi. Take care and God bless!!!!

  13. Reekay, thanks for the update on your channel and your life. I have enjoyed being a member of your channel but I understand your decision. I hope you get to reunite with your girl again soon and I look forward to meeting you over there one day soon.

  14. It is good to see and hear you. I am happy you can enjoy making videos as you want.I am happy you are paying more attention to your diet. John Yamas

  15. Hi Reekay. I started following you 8 years ago. It’s been a great ride. To me you were the pioneer of all that living in SE Asia was about. I still haven’t made my journey to the Phillipines, life situations etc. When finally I was booked to come covid put an end to that, so just sitting here, me Ch as you are, for things to open up. One thing I do know, I am fully confident I can handle the changes I will experience thanks to your vlogs and knowledge. Thanks again and continued blessings and happiness for you and Vi. Cheers amigo.

  16. Glad to hear from you and that you are surviving LDR. My partner and I are going on 8 years together, with the past 2 years being LDR, since I left PH in March 2020. It’s getting old. Our K-1 visa is, I estimate, about 3 to 4 months from finalization. I expect My partner will come to the US before Philippines opens to tourists! Amazing. Hope you continue to do well, and if I were you, I’d check out a legal on-line US marriage, which can get you back into the Philippines – I suspect you already know all about it.

  17. Reekay thats exactly what my fiance said last year, her opinion is not opening until after the election at best.

  18. question: Is there ANY way to get to the Philippines as a citizen of the U.S without being forced to take the covid vaccine? I heard recently that their country will not be allowing any foreigners who are unvaccinated into their country. I really trying to get there to see my gf but I also don’t think it’s right for any country to be forcing this.

  19. Hi, This is RJ. I’m glad to see you doing your content again. I really enjoy your videos brother. Have you been listening to the filipina pea’s videos? RJ
