Author: Reekay V.

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. I just got back from a month in the Philippines and I just click over to “Island Time” when I’m there.

  3. Best advice I got in dating. Square pegs will never fit in round holes. Try to force it all you want, but you’re just losing valuable months and years of your life

  4. I totally agree
    with the concept of
    NO TOXICITY,
    NO DRAMA
    and NO BULLSHIT!!!

    Let’s have a good time without inflicting damage to me (especially financial).

    If not,
    F*CK OFF
    and NEXT!!!

  5. I grew up in the Philippines for 12 years. If you don’t have patience and a go with the flow attitude, it will not work for you. He is right on with that.

  6. Yes, you have spoken the very secret to surviving and thriving over there…Just “Chill” and take the society as a whole for what it is…And why you left the West for the very opposite of what you had to take in before. There are a lot of benefits and positives to this society, and it really is what you make it. No country is perfect for every man…And if it were…It would be most likely a totally saturated place and overpopulated with most likely knuckleheads and draggers. Just use your common sense and even intuition, and keep a low profile and things will be well and fine, and get a lady that fits you.
    Thanks again for this, as you are the voice of reason and I think many men should listen to you, to avoid all the mistakes and heartache when you know what is going on and what other men have made. As the old saying goes in my book, A wise man learns from others’ mistakes…Not your own, as if you learn you can avoid going through it if you can. Thanks again for the reminders that every man should have to exist over there in…Peace

  7. I’ve found out the hard way that your expat rules are best wherever you
    are anywhere in the world..

  8. Greetings!
    I would like to know from you the following please:
    Does the passport of the Philippines give your Filipina wife or girlfriend access to other Asian countries easily?
    Can your spouse get a tourist visa to Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia etc. without any issues or is it a huge concern for the average Filipina?
    There is this one thing that bothers me about retiring in the Philippines… and that is why would one even consider retirement there when the medical care is in general substandard and can jeopardies one’s life.
    Thank you for your time.

  9. I think that is the bull story.
    An old and a young bull are standing at the top of a hill when they see the ranch owner unload a trailer full of cows onto the pasture.
    The young bull says “Great! Let’s run down there and fuck one.”
    The old bull says “No, let’s walk down there and fuck them all.”

  10. Another great video! AI question: whenever I see text on any of the AI women (on shirt), it’s always unreadable or looks like it’s Arabic. Any idea why that is?

  11. This is great information that would apply to all young and older men. No matter where you are going to visit or live. Make sure you have yourself in check first and know you limits and abilities when meeting women. I’ve met most friends and women in PI in Gyms, since I’m into weight lifting. Someone always knows the best places to eat or visit and always seems to have a single cousin. Meeting a good single woman who is drama free and no kids or husband is easy. Take your time and slow down. Learn some basic local language too.

  12. Yup! The girls will come to you. Be nice, say, “hi” and don’t force yourself. I don’t even know what kind of girl i want. If you want a professional like a nurse? She’ll always be busy. Do you want a girl who works part time and knows how to kind of cook? Or the simple farm girl from the boonies? Personally I’d avoid the mall girls, that’s a red flag to me. I saw a Filipina once working a fruit stand. She was pretty and seemed more my speed. Her facial features looked common, in the end it would boil down to compatibility. I’d ask her to go to lunch and have her feel me out. I’d do the same. I won’t give my number. Then in a week or two walk by the stand to see if she has any good fruit? Did she take the bait? She might ask where I’ve been? How come i haven’t stopped by? Then see if she wants to go to dinner. If she doesn’t ask? Move on. I’d set up 5 girls like that to see who is interested. You’re the King. You pick and choose who you want, you let the bad apples go, like the ones who lies. I hate liars. Especially one who is hiding a boyfriend. You don’t need that drama.

  13. Hi Rekay, great video as usual. Just wanted to ask you how old were you when you first moved to the Philippines? I’m divorced 49 years old and a travel nurse. I’m piling up on investment and my retirement plan to go to the Philippines one day. I pay child support and want to move to the Philippines when this obligation is over. I also want to be a part of my son’s life as long as I can. My ultimate goal is to be free and at peace one day in the Philippines. My ducks will be in order in about 11 years. What do you think? Thank you

  14. Well done, as usual.
    Your recommendations are transcending the Philippines .

    … this 66 y o wishes you were around when I was 15 🙂
