I leave for the Philippines to live in 10 days so my prospective is from someone going to live there. Last year I was at the end of my marriage and I knew a change was needed. I made the decision to live closer to the ocean. I looked into Florida but the costs are too high for my meager pension. I looked into Mexico, Panama, Ecuador but didn't find anything on the internet that suited me. I've always liked Asian women and wanted to visit Thailand . Thailand's visa situation didn't look good so I looked at Cambodia next, I read somewhere it's the most landmined country in the world so no thank you. Vietnam didn't feel right because of the war even though I joined the military after the war in 1979. When I found out the Philippines had 7,107 islands and spoke English I wanted to try it. Then I found out about the girls being willing to date older men I said bonus. I'm 55 and dating a filipina who is 47. So I'm not interested in 20 year old girls but to each their own. A 3 month test run convinced me to try living in the Philippines. I will take a one month vacation in Japan before heading to Dumaguete. That's my boring story of why I'm moving there.

Not at all boring, in fact a good post. Much the same situation for me, but I am in Thailand. I have a SO Filipino and we will move there next year.

I have had a good look at Phils and whilst I understand there are some short comings, it has quite a bit to offer as well. With my SO being in her native country, that is a big plus for us.

Good luck on your journey, wish you well and happiness.

I came to the Philippines because all the competition for getting laid here is twice my age and twice my belt size. Shooting fish in a barrel.
