Long story short, as a web developer I can work from anywhere and I moved to Dumaguete to get a change of scenery. The original plan had been for Dumaguete to be one stop among many on my way to see the world. Since I arrived here I sort of got fat and happy in one spot.

My mention of me being busy with my career in my previous post was simply an explanation as to why I haven't been posting lately. I ramped up my time commitments and there are only so many hours in the day. Because I'm not as lost in Dumaguete as I once was when I arrived here, my posting activity at Dumaguete info took a hit.

So now I'm getting antsy to do the same thing I did two years ago. On a whim I pulled up my roots and flew 20+ hours across the globe. I arrived to the Philippines as my new home without having once visited in the past. My Uncle lived here as well, so that was a big part of my decision. Where will I go next? I have no idea at the moment, though there are no shortage of possibilities. I can work from anywhere but the only prerequisite for my next destination is that I haven't lived there before. That means I can only really cross out the U.S. I have a little bit of time to think about it though as I work out some details before I leave. This was actually a very recent decision, so JohnBoy had perfect timing for the thread.

As for getting married, that's a whole different can of worms. I'm not ready for that right now. However, I can still help out the kids by helping put them through school as many other generous expats have done here. And who knows, maybe I will be back one day.

Fair enough! Best wishes and live well.
