Undisputed Truth, Smiling faces, smiling faces pretend to be your friend. A smile is just a frown turned upside down. Old school funk 😂😂😂. There is a core value in your conversation regarding the North American/Canadian lifestyle that is now threatening the citizenry of the entire continent. I am concerned that the poison will travel with some to other idealic place like the Philippines and beyond. I respect your sincerity in moving, and the conversation you're having in your videos. Like yourself, my plan, in the very near future, is to make this move not to the big city but to the laid back province life. Thanks again for your exposure, in the near future we will do it face to face...jwd🎉
Always remember my fellow Canadian , that in the Philippines../ rent , don’t buy ‼️ Always remember as well .. that your “ live in “!girlfriend needs to be divorced ( and that doesn’t happen there .. only annulment) … sorry , but just a word to the wise ! 🇨🇦
Newly subscribed fellow Canadian, here. Dreaming of making the move after nearly a half century of living in the same place. Look forward to the videos when you return to PH
I'm planning the same. Soon I will be back to my home country. Though I've been in Canada for most of my life, I always wanted to go back. Enjoy the simplicity of life and take care yourself. Thank you for choosing Philippines as your new home.
I bought my ticket today. San Diego to Cebu $601.00. Praise God. I will be so grateful to join the happy people in the Philippines. I am so grateful. I look forward to having purpose and becoming part of the community. I will be helpful there. I will live simply and enjoy the small things in life. I wish freedom for everyone!!!!
We hope you many fine adventures. Now a couple things...you must have a return or onward exit flight dated within 30 days of arrival when you board to fly here or they will not allow you come. I suggest an inexpensive flight to a closer place than the USA, its up to you as to how youbwant to determine that, but you need a return ticket or an onward ticket to somewhere closer and cheaper. Also, make sure to do your ehealth 72 hrs or less before your flight. Ehealth philippines is a search term that will get you to the website. Don't worry, it's easy pz. Did you have your covid shots done? Melake sure you address all these items before you fly over. Enjoy your stay! 30 days visa free from the USA. At day 30, visit the immigration office nearest you to apply for more permanent status, ie, a extension for 30 days and begin the process to get your ACR card. This is all easy to do, you will be OK. The people at immigration are very gracious and will help you. Ummm bring a pen, that's about it. Have fun here.
@@SouthPaths Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help! I didn’t know anything about the E health thing, so that really will help me out. Thank you I will be researching that right now tonight!
Yep I escaped almost 2 years ago with my Filipina wife and 8 year old daughter and now live in Bohol. We used EVA Air snd landed in Cebu and then took a ferry to Bohol.
I do NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Want to reinvent Los Angeles, dig your video's man, I'll hopefully will be looking you up in the very near future my friend..............................
It can be $1000 canadian. But watch your budget and stay out of larger places if possible to keep the rent low. We live 15min out of town but $125 will get a place in San Pablo proper if you want.
@@SouthPathsThanks, I will have slightly more than $1000 usd but just want to make sure I would have a some disposable income for actually getting some enjoyment in life... living pay cheque to pay cheque with the help of line of credit right now... looking forward to your future videos on the subject, health insurance, etc.
I know exactly what you mean, my experience in the Philippines was just like this, I do miss the place, but I'm missing my girlfriend more, she found a new job in Davao because she needs to save money to further our future together. Although I probably won't move to the Phillipines for a few years, I will have the possibility of living for six months there and six months in France.
Thank you for talking about the beauty and hospitality of the Philipinnes. As long as you are respectful and friendly you'll get the same treatment we, Filipinos open heartedly give to foreigners or expats. Enjoy your lifetime stay here in our country..the Philipinnes. ❤ God bless you and stay safe.
Thamkyou so much! In my humble opinion, the west and its values have alot to learn and could learn, ALOT, from the Philippine people. They are very nice very welcoming and genuine people. I consider myself blessed to have been accepted by them as I have.
Your doing a great service for the people with this video and future videos like it. 2 weeks ain't enough so I stayed for 3.5 months only came back because money was getting low. I will make sure that while I am here in Canada this time everything will be sold so when I come back I won't have to hurry back to this country that's on a fast down hill slide. Take care out there.
I did that, 2.5 week visit, and then sold it all, paid my debts and came back. I may need to return to work. Few months as well. Will see how it turns out.
Well, you nailed it on the head brother. Interesting to know you’ve been there for eight years. I’ve been married to a Filipina for 30 years. Visited the country once back in 2006, spent a month traveling around from Manila. Wife is from Pasay City. And it was very raw then, a lot of good positive changes since for the people in the country I do believe. Anyway, we’re planning to early retire in October as I mentioned. I’ll be 59. Doing exactly what you said, liquidating and doing the duffel bag drag to the Philippines lol. I’ve lived outside of Boston my whole life, and it is way too crazy, way too dangerous, way too political and mostly way too expensive! I’ve been planning this for many years and know we will be fine especially with Filipino family in my life.! So glad to hear you made those moves and are Happy! Laguna I have visited is also an option, as well as Cavite, Bataan. We’ll be just fine living on 1/3 of our US income. Could never do that back in America. Anyway, I enjoy the videos and it takes like-minded people to make these decisions as you have, and thank you for sharing! Heading for the Simple Life. Hopefully meet up some time. ✌🏻❤️🇵🇭🌴
Great video, Nelson. I just recently returned from a three weeks stay in Thailand. I am looking forward to my first trip to the Philippines. After watching several TH-cam videos, to include yours on travels to the Philippines, I am excited about traveling there soon. Keep up your informative videos and you have gained a new subscriber. Best regards.
Nelson speaks of a time that the younger generations never experienced. I just spent 2 weeks for first time in Philippines in Puerto Galara. Loved it. 63 from Canada. I am looking forward to your upcoming videos on acclimating to Philippines - thanks
Yes, looking forward to those videos, how to get around the Philippines without being lost.....new subscriber....can you do a video on what led you to make the decision to move to the Philippines 😊
Leaving Canada in September if things work out. It's a permanent move. Just found yur channel
7 หลายเดือนก่อน
About the same timing for me also except from Aust. ..........The west is in a lot of trouble sadly and completely lost it's bearings. Cheers and all the best!!
Just bring an open mind. Remember I said that. People here are shy, they sometimes fear chatting only because they feel their English is not good, not because they don't want to. Open mind open mind. Smile..I guarantee one back.
Everything was spot on except the plane ticket all day long 1100$,,but absolutely agree about leaving the west,,we are 24 to 30 months out,,great video
I first came to the Philippines in the early '70s. married here, and fell in love with the place! I retired here in 2016, moved first to Catanduanes and now live near Tagaytay. I wouldn't think of moving back (especially with the sorry state of affairs in the US and other places now)!
Love it. All good points. I did a retirement test a couple of months ago to Cavite which is south of central Manila. One bit of warning for others: where I went, I was too deep into the local life. It was too much for me... Or should I say not enough for me. I was staying in my Filipina girlfriend's townhouse in an established neighborhood, which was fine. The problem for me was that I was isolated because the area was just for locals. Nothing there for the foreign guy. No bars, no restaurants, no shopping. In my effort to get away, I had gotten too far away. It was not the good 'away' either where there was peace and quiet. It was an easy walk to a main road, which was loud and a traffic nightmare. Trike and jeepney were available on the main road to get to somewhere fun, but it just was not for me. Best advice I have for guys trying out the Philippines is to test it before you commit. (and stay the heck out of Manila if you can. Fly into Cebu or Clark airports) For me, I went to Makati from Cavite and immediately felt better. I'll be making another retirement test soon. Take care.
preach brother its why i left, and why I help any Canadians leave who wants to bail. Especially seniors from 55-85. Pensions let you live like a king/queen there!
You're video shows the positive sides of the Philippines when it comes to cheap cost of living and friendly people (not all are friendly) , but you gotta look at both sides. I think you're advice that prospective retirees and expats come and check out the place first is great advice. Because it definitely isn't for everybody. I lived in Bohol for 6 months in 2022 and now im back in Canada. I don't have such a negative outlook on Canada because I look at it that there's still a lot of positive things in Canada. Yes, I can't stand Trudeau and he's gotta go.The country will be better off for it.But I also can make way more money in Canada, feel safer in Canada compared to the Philippines ( i always felt like i needed to watch my back there) and i have a cabin off the grid in Central B.C in its the best place. Most beautiful place I've ever seen cleanest air cleanest water. Plus i love hockey and no hockey in the Philippines! Like anywhere Canada has its pros and cons, Philippines has its pros and cons, its all about perspective so good advice to come and check it out first.
I flew into Cebu in 2019 for 1100 and I've been going to Thailand recently I just purchased a ticket to go visit Thailand again up north and it was 1400.00 round trip
@@SouthPaths yea I'm not on the west coast I'm in Tennessee so I booked a flight for 1400 dollars to Chiang Mai I have to get on three different planes though
That.....is how it's done cheap...Im going Manila to San Francisco to Vancouver this time..planned ahead it's 1150 CA. about I dunno say 850 US? I use skiplagged...good app.
It's been OK so far..but Ibhave tried the options..my fear is getting lost in during transfers in South Korea or China etc. So far I just spend the extra 300 or 400 and go direct. It's a big hit for convenience.
I'm almost 56 and can't wait to get out of America ! Not much better here than in Canada. Cost of living is insane, and will never be able to retire here and i own everything free and clear. It's ridiculous
The major US providers are here, as is Philhealth, the local provider, I'm self insured for now for health, as for car insurance, I use public transport. I feel safer letting the local people drive for me.
wow, research indicates im off on car insurance too. I guess I spoke from others quotes...I should have looked. but, Im self insured for health and have no car, so..glad you showed me..
I opted out at 50. I went through a nasty divorce at age 44, which my ex-wife weaponized and used to try to destroy me - vindictive. I subsequently worked my butt off, sold up and re-located to the Philippines. Fortunately, I had the foresight to buy property, establish a business and ensure a guaranteed income in the Philippines (obviously through a Filipina partner). Our income is pretty good, the kids are doing fine. I do enjoy the fact that my ex tried to f*** me up but failed. She is slogging away to earn a buck while I have a coffee on my balcony in the morning and a few beers in the evening without having to be concerned about the rat-race.
For 2 of us..ALL IN. including entertainment, eating out a couple times a week..rent , food, transportation utilities etc...if everything is tabbed in..it's about 1250 to 1500 canadian. But if we eat less junk food, no wine, no cigars, and eat out twice a month then it's $1000. For 2.
@@SouthPaths it’s turning into trash like the other Canadian cities. Im currently planning a trip to PH for 30 days but it likely wont be until late 2024 or early 2025. What part are you in?
Iam in usa. ...do you know where I can call for custom shiping .. from New york.....newark nj....do you know who.i havebto talk ..iam not married to philipina yet iam 51....
I'm sorry, not specificly. However contacting a international load broker in New York will be a good start to investigate. Orrrr a Broker in Manila, might even be better. They should know shipping cost and any costs relating to inbound fees and or tariffs. I'm pretty sure you want to travel light as possible and repurchase items here as much as possible.
Why the hell would anyone chose the Philippines over Thailand to retire,when you consider Thai women are hotter the cost of living cheaper and Thai infrastructure is light years ahead of the Philippines.And don’t tell me it’s all about the language because a lot a thai people speak English in the major tourist areas the bottom line is it’s not even close.Did he mention the brownouts two or three times a week in the Philippines? Sure he might pay a hundred fifty dollars a month yeah but it’s nothing more than a shack and that’s the truth….
a really heartfelt and articulate video. i’ve spent alot of time in southeast asia, including philippines, since the 1980s. in fact i just left manila (and batangas briefly) for jakarta where i am now. fwiw, here are some thoughts. i second the advice to simply get up and just cross the pacific to see firsthand (but on any airline that isnt american, canadian or filipino). i suggest initially visiting both thailand and the philippines for a study in contrasts. i suggest $1500/mo for a decent quiet life over here, but not in a capital city, plus some nest egg to draw upon. do have medical insurance, a backup or exit plan and some kind of a longterm residence (not back to back tourist) visa, once you decide on a place. go slow, always rent, don’t buy, all things & persons, for a good while intially. to be frank, and being careful, not cynical, just as there is no free lunch there is no free smile. act and dress decently, away from angeles city and pattaya these are respectable peoples. be occupied and get exercise. southeast asia isnt perfect but for guys past 50yo you can spend happier times here than in what north america has sadly become. life is different here, embrace it. looking forward to your followon videos, thanks.

I opted out at 50. I went through a nasty divorce at age 44, which my ex-wife weaponized and used to try to destroy me - vindictive. I subsequently worked my butt off, sold up and re-located to the Philippines. Fortunately, I had the foresight to buy property, establish a business and ensure a guaranteed income in the Philippines (obviously through a Filipina partner). Our income is pretty good, the kids are doing fine. I do enjoy the fact that my ex tried to f*** me up but failed. She is slogging away to earn a buck while I have a coffee on my balcony in the morning and a few beers in the evening without having to be concerned about the rat-race.
Sounds wonderful, fate can be a friend.
What health care insurance plan did you get?
I have not yet. But when I do it will be Sunlife I think. Rates run from about $200 to 600 Canadian a year. Depending on your choosen plan.
See my correction video..I accepted incorrect information.
I shared on my Facebook your videos are your wife's
Thankyou !
Is that cottage his place ?
Why are the windows broken and unrepaired ?
LOL, Nooooo..it's just an abandoned house i use for a backdrop on some of my video content.
What's you monthly budget?
For 2 of us..ALL IN. including entertainment, eating out a couple times a week..rent , food, transportation utilities etc...if everything is tabbed in..it's about 1250 to 1500 canadian. But if we eat less junk food, no wine, no cigars, and eat out twice a month then it's $1000. For 2.

@@SouthPaths it’s turning into trash like the other Canadian cities. Im currently planning a trip to PH for 30 days but it likely wont be until late 2024 or early 2025. What part are you in?
I'm about 85km south of Manila..look in Google maps for SanPablo Laguna. We are close to there.
Iam in usa. ...do you know where I can call for custom shiping .. from New york.....newark nj....do you know who.i havebto talk ..iam not married to philipina yet iam 51....
I'm sorry, not specificly. However contacting a international load broker in New York will be a good start to investigate. Orrrr a Broker in Manila, might even be better. They should know shipping cost and any costs relating to inbound fees and or tariffs. I'm pretty sure you want to travel light as possible and repurchase items here as much as possible.

Some do.

Why the hell would anyone chose the Philippines over Thailand to retire,when you consider Thai women are hotter the cost of living cheaper and Thai infrastructure is light years ahead of the Philippines.And don’t tell me it’s all about the language because a lot a thai people speak English in the major tourist areas the bottom line is it’s not even close.Did he mention the brownouts two or three times a week in the Philippines? Sure he might pay a hundred fifty dollars a month yeah but it’s nothing more than a shack and that’s the truth….
You must be a SEXPAT @danthemann11121 UDIRTYDAWG!
BECAUSE THE Thai govt. sucks ! --- Visa laws are NOT friendly & they want a lot of your money !!! -- Going to tax expats soon.............?!?!?!?!?
a really heartfelt and articulate video. i’ve spent alot of time in southeast asia, including philippines, since the 1980s. in fact i just left manila (and batangas briefly) for jakarta where i am now. fwiw, here are some thoughts. i second the advice to simply get up and just cross the pacific to see firsthand (but on any airline that isnt american, canadian or filipino). i suggest initially visiting both thailand and the philippines for a study in contrasts. i suggest $1500/mo for a decent quiet life over here, but not in a capital city, plus some nest egg to draw upon. do have medical insurance, a backup or exit plan and some kind of a longterm residence (not back to back tourist) visa, once you decide on a place. go slow, always rent, don’t buy, all things & persons, for a good while intially. to be frank, and being careful, not cynical, just as there is no free lunch there is no free smile. act and dress decently, away from angeles city and pattaya these are respectable peoples. be occupied and get exercise. southeast asia isnt perfect but for guys past 50yo you can spend happier times here than in what north america has sadly become. life is different here, embrace it. looking forward to your followon videos, thanks.
Excellent reply, thankyou!
