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.

Divorced from 2 filipina scammers ,so I wouldn’t know what it’s like.
Reekay, when you say that most relationships crash/burn in the first 4-6 weeks, what kinds of reasons account for that, in your experience?
Wow! Congrats for finding what appears to be the perfect match! I hear how affectionate and grateful you are too.
Just a few questions…
1) how old is she?
2) how old are you?
3) does she really call you “sir” or was that just in that moment when she also said that you should enjoy the pain?
4) what is Swedish massage?
5) do you live permanently in PH now?
She really seems to be a one of a kind Filipina!
I have been really enjoying the content lately. Now I can say, thanks Vee!
So nice to hear positive aspects of the women of this Beautiful country. I was beginning to feel that Filipino women were either back stabbers, immoral or scammers… Filipinas I know back here in the States are WONDERFUL friends, and wives to their husbands…..
By way of an humble suggestion, Kindly try to have higher even balance posts… Regards
I’m just happy she still calls me “po” 🙂
You’re accurately describing my wife, what I like about my Filipina more than anything is the cheerful happy additude
19 minutes and 12 seconds of video. 19 minutes and 12 seconds of me recalling my past *HORRIBLE* relationships with western women. 19 minutes and 12 seconds of pure envy of what you got in your life. I really need to come over to the Philippines.
Reekay, where do you get the photos of the gorgeous girls in your videos?
The key word is “Good”. There are girls who will play you. But those girls have learn it from someone else. A foreigner burning them perhaps? I don’t know? I have seen vloggets using Filipina’s for sex. The girl thought she found a good man and the guy ghosts the girl heading back to place of origin. Sometimes leaving the girl pregnant. That isn’t cool.
STOP giving Hopium
You are a very lucky man and she is a very lucky woman …..but I am 84 and ride motorcycles and enjoy renovating ….my best friend is a gorgeous French lady of only 45 …..
What does Expat mean
❤️
How you found her..what way you are using to meet filipina. Advice needed there
You provide balanced content on every aspect of life there. Good and bad.
I’m leaving for the Phillippines in 3 months, the first trip.
No pal you are busted. You used the same photos as another video where she has ripped you off and left you. What is your game.? I am not fooled.
Just recommended your channel to another guy. Hope he listens.
lol, my asawa just yell ” I can get new dress for 50p ” @ ukay-ukay. after hearing end of vid. We together over 3 1/2yrs.. U can definitely find the more traditional woman here. Overall, most just want to give all their love to one man. To me, meeting girl w/ good English skills important. Takes TIME, good listening skills & willingness to ADAPT. Understand her family situation, dedication, responsibility. GOOD COMMUNICATION ALWAYS IMPORTANT though may be challenging at times…
You said that your wife says “Sir” to you. Is it a very common thing in the Philippines? Any girl I meet on line, they address me as “Sir”. Makes me feel like I am the boss from their workplace.
Being Australian experiencing this type of treatment from a woman is mind-blowing.
Just got to the PI after 45 years.
I still feel like an ATM.
The girl I just met in Boracay, she’s from Mindanao. Just three days with her, she’s so good at massages, meeting the needs of a man, rubs my head until I fall asleep, and generally puts more effort into me even though we just met as lovers.
I mean most of my American friends their Western gf or wive doesn’t do half of this. Men in the West have no clue what they are missing out on.
Life is hell if you marry or date a Filipina and her sister or cousin is better looking……
I rarely bother watching expat vlogs as mostly not on my wave length and see so many flaws in what they believe is right and how clever they think they are. Like you say a lot is doom and gloom and you will always be a walking ATM machine when there and such like. Enjoyed listening to this vlog and really happy for you and your wife. I ‘ve had a sample of the same so know exactly what you mean with the attention you get is wonderful. Strangely enough i started carnivore/keto diet about a month ago to improve my health and improvements already . Lost a stone in weight also so recommend it to all over 50s.
Great blog and topic Reekay. It’s been said that 90% of our happiness in the Philippines, will come from being with the right Filipina. And 90% of our misery, will come from being with the wrong Filipina. You commented that your loving wife is always taking inventory throughout your home, as to what you might be running low on.
Why oh why, why? Oh, why, restaurants and businesses in the Philippines do the same??? All of the bloggers comment on going to businesses and restaurants, only to hear them say, “we’re out of stock”, or “out of that menu item, today.” If businesses/restaurants would make one person, and only one person in charge of making sure everything is in stock during their shift, and fire them immediately on the spot, if they fail, that problem would go away…
Sounds like your living the good life with a wonderful woman Reekay love to both of you❤️
This is refreshing to finally hear the positive side of life with a Filipina, I’m so happy that you found the good one for you. Like you said the bad ones do crash and burn with the first week or two. I’m blessed to have found myself the most beautiful Filipina and after 2 months we have really proved to each other we are both genuine, I’m looking forward to see her in march
Very nice summary of what you achieved by being patient, smart, and authentic in your search for a permanent relationship. My path to Filipina happiness was much different than yours, but the outcomes are ditto, ditto, ditto! Glad you navigated your way through the health challenges and are on a dietary path that works for you. God Bless all the thousands of high quality Filipinas that are “life artists” bringing happiness to their partners.
