It is truly wonderful to hear that you have made the wise choice to leave behind the stress-inducing city life. I must assure you that Dumaguete, in comparison to bustling Cebu City, is considerably less stressful and I sincerely hope it remains so. Siquijor, on the other hand, offers a sanctuary of tranquility, providing the perfect escape from the pressures of daily life. However, it is worth noting that the only setback lies in the stability of the power supply, an area where the local government has unfortunately not exerted sufficient effort to find a lasting solution. Your decision is commendable, and I envision the opportunity for you to establish a resort exuding the enchanting aura of Bali, fitting harmoniously within the confines of the small yet captivating Siquijor island. Your contribution would undeniably play a pivotal role in the promotion of tourism on this charming island.
Very well said Eric! It has been almost 3 months and we do notice some minor inconvenience like random power outage and limited supply of imported goods that is part of our diet. But living here has more pros than cons and peace of mind can never be bought. We are so happy to be here and hopefully we will succeed in making a project as you've mentioned in the future.
Congratulations Joe and Van on your decision to move from Dumaguete to Siquijor Island. After Joe's dad had the tour of his home and how it was built I think you made a good decision to move there. You both look like you are very happy there and seem really relaxed in a Tropical Paradise. Great way to end the video with the beautiful Sunset.
When you guys are ready and figure out what you want to do with your channel I look forward to what you produce. Lots of successful channels took some time to figure out their niche. In the meantime, I hope you are both still enjoying Siquijor. Best wishes!
So great that you've learned the benefits of peaceful living. The city has taken years away from me. Can't wait to move to the Philippines 🎉. Happy to see your vlogging again!
Absolutely! The big city life was fun and all but we found peace here with a much more simpler life. Oh that is so exciting! Can't wait for that as well! Hope you can drop by one day and say hi! Coffee will surely be ready! 😅😁
Hi Joe, I met you in Valencia about 2 months ago you were walking out of the gym as I was walking in, we are back in Australia hope to be back in Duma next May and going to Siquijor will try to catch up, Cheers Greg
Hello Greg! So nice to read your comment. It was great talking to you and I do hope to catch up with you again soon! Hope everything is well in Australia. Take care and see you soon!
Hi Van and asawa mo mabuti ng kita tayo uli. Hope all is well with you and your family. Siyanga pala I had a friend in the US Navy who was from Bohol. His last name is Maquindang. Siguro nang doon pa rin ang familia niya
We do get stressed at times but not as much anymore especially now that we live in a much more simple environment surrounded by amazing people 🤗 Hope you can visit Siquijor one day!
Been around the world - and, yes, including Siquijor, too, heheh! Don't get me wrong, though. I bicycled the whole island once. And, goodness: Siquijor's quite beautiful and peaceful. But, still, Dumaguete's the better place to be, at least for me - internet-wise and necessity-access-wise, for starters. It's really a simple case of different strokes; different folks. 🙂 Enjoy your new life in cool & amazing Siquijor, guys! Maayong adlaw.
Hi Spy! Thanks for your comment! Absolutely spot on. Dumaguete has more things you need readily available although the traffic is just getting worse each year. Thank you so much Spy! Maayong adlaw!
Well, nowadays there is Starlink in the Philippines.. You can live anywhere and have very fast internet nowadays.. This was a godsend for digital nomads who want to live in the Philippines, but live the island life.
@@VanandJoe Jonathan from Travel Escapes is a very friendly and approachable person. Don't be shy to reach out to him he would probably be very happy to meet you.
Sure! There's Mina's Guesthouse which is close to our place which is beach front. There are so many budget hostels here in Siquijor already. Although most of them are not beach front.
Dumaguete has changed a lot...sooooo many (too many actually...way too many) foreigners...over 6 0 0 0 ! And, because so, land/house prices have gone through the roof. Soon only rich foreigners or locals who have always owned their places will be able to afford to live there any more. I like those Mandarin fish you have there in the water just behind your house.
I think per capita, Duma is already the expat capital of Phils. Soon Dumaguete/Valencia will be the Beverly Hills of Phils. On average every foreigner coming there has monthly 10x as much money as the locals do...that is a disaster happening...their presence alters the area financial for pinoy and not always in a good way. No, I don't dive...but I will give it a try when I go there...would like to see the whale sharks in Oslob and some of the fish like the Mandarin. :) @@VanandJoe
THANKS FOR SHARING . ENJOY LIFE GREETINGS FROM DENMARK

I’m jealous that you guys get to live simply and peacefully without getting too much stress from working 😮
We do get stressed at times but not as much anymore especially now that we live in a much more simple environment surrounded by amazing people 🤗 Hope you can visit Siquijor one day!

@VanandJoe Thank u we would like a place wt Kitchenett for light cooking...
how much is your rent in siquijor
Hi! We are not paying rent since this is our place ☺
Dumaguete has changed a lot...sooooo many (too many actually...way too many) foreigners...over 6 0 0 0 ! And, because so, land/house prices have gone through the roof. Soon only rich foreigners or locals who have always owned their places will be able to afford to live there any more. I like those Mandarin fish you have there in the water just behind your house.
You are absolutely right on that! Eventually, Dumaguete will become the Expat capital of The Philippines 😅
Oh yes! do you go diving?
I think per capita, Duma is already the expat capital of Phils. Soon Dumaguete/Valencia will be the Beverly Hills of Phils. On average every foreigner coming there has monthly 10x as much money as the locals do...that is a disaster happening...their presence alters the area financial for pinoy and not always in a good way.
