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.

  1. You are absolutely right Reekay. Alot of xpats are broke. I wouldn’t go without 100,000 annual dividend income. Better safe than sorry. Hope to meet you some day. I will be in bohol Aug 2024

  2. Thanks for the reality check, Reekay. I think you need $2.5K to $3K per month and maybe $15K in savings to make in the Phils. Also want to make sure you’re about 30 minutes from an acute care hospital in case something goes wrong with you. These are safety nets that allow you to enjoy life in the Phils.
