Kicking out the videos. 985 a month! Talk about a bargain great insights and advise. If i may suggest do a few diet/ health set might be a winner. Thanks
I've been to this island several times, it very beautiful there. It is small, we rode around the whole island on a scooter in 3 1/2 hours, even stopping at some tourist spots. The language in the southern Philippines is Bisayan, mostly the same alphabet as the English language, same vowels, BUT different sounds. You can't pronounce their words using English. Camiguin is pronounced "come - ME - gun" accent on the "ME." The big island to the south, Mindanao, is pronounced "MEND - duh- now" accent on the "MEND", which is where I met my wife. If your healthy, great place to settle down. Good hospitals are far away. Great video! love it.... I do miss this little island. VERY friendly ppl here! If all possible, visit here in October, when the lanzones festival is going on. lanzones is a fruit about the size of a golf ball,,,,,,VERY DELICIOUS!!
Love your videos. I live in the US and want to thank you for helping me start thinking about retirement differently (it's actually something attainable!)
Nice video. Ive been living on Camiguin these past 3 years. Its beautiful nature but the Government here not so helpful to the people especially in these weird times of coviid but that goes for the whole country
Thanks for the encouragement Chimbatete. Thanks for watching and commenting. It helps our business grow. Feel free to subscribe to my channel if the mood strikes. Best, Dan
Great story donald dtrick. I am excited for you. Thank you for sharing it with us. Your interaction with our channel helps us get subscribers and views, so we really appreciate it. Best, Dan
I live here and this is a very accurate portrayal of conditions here on the island. I believe this may be the best place in the Philippines to live. I agree with the advice given in the video about everything and especially renting versus buying. Great video!
Great video, great information! I really had NO IDEA this was even remotely affordable, I'd long ago given up dreaming of this sort of retirement. I was going to share this video but I'm afraid too many people will find out and by the time I get there it'll be swamped with retirees.
I retired at 52 ! I have lived in Thailand for 8years. At the moment I'm in jomtien. I was once on the hamster wheel thinking because I had a flash house and car i was successful. Now i live simply in a 1 bedroom condo that's around 60 square metres and i have never been more content and happy. You sir are absolutely correct. LIVE FOR YOURSELF NOT OTHERS! Thanks for the informative interesting video's.
You are wight men, Philippines was a nice place to live till came the covid... hope situation can back to normal...this filipinos and filipinas are mostly very nice happy fellows...
That will get you are really nice life around much of the world. Whenever I read your comments Yuan, I always think ... why has Yuan not been a guest star on my channel yet? vagabondbuddha.com/contact/
Ive been thinking bout coming back to Camiguin for living. Wish I could go back the soonest. ❤🙏 Enjoy it sir... Keep sharing your experiences. It inspires me.
Coming back... my 4th or 5th time watching your video. Im planning many things... I do not know if it possible to contact you so I cam ask you a couple of questions 🙏☺ thxxx
Wow thanks for the beautiful vlog. I'm local from one of the other islands. I'm thinking of retiring in another island to stay away from my family and neighbors. If you're Pinoy you know what I mean.😊 My parents left properties and farms for us but last time I went home several houses literally standing next to my ancestral house. It's a lot of headache getting rid of them. Court and yes you pay them to get out of your property. So this is what I'm thinking go to the other islands that nobody knows me. I definitely retire back to our islands, cheap and the weather and the sound of the rooster every morning. Might be weird but I miss the island vibes.
Great story Ambotsa Imo. Thank you for sharing it with us. Your interaction with our channel helps us get subscribers and views, so we really appreciate it. Best, Dan
Thanks for making this video. There are of course 2 major costs, electricity and gasoline, which are much higher than in North America. Living up the mountainside where it's cooler can save a lot on air conditioning. And of course motorbikes are more economical to get around than cars. Keeping your money in your home country can be a smart option, however expect up to a month for a deposit check to be cleared through the local bank. Finally, if you want to include grocery items which are not basics, then you will need to budget trips to CDO.
Hello, as an expat that lives in philippines i just want to offer advice, i appreciate your videos,, but, one of the first items that you must do is learn how to pronounce the names of islands and towns, with mis-pronouncing it dis credits your videos. example how you say the the “a” ,, use short not long. just a suggestion , but all in all its about enjoying life and you sure are! keep it up!
Did they have Durian on Camiguin Island? You mentioned that high speed internet was a challenge, was that in the hotel or in any house there? I.E. in general is high speed, reliable internet service an issue to obtain there? Besides being an Island how does this compare to the suburbs of Davao?
Hey RawHebrewRemnant, thanks for the great question. If strong consistent Internet is a requirement for you, this place may not be right. Without knowing what bandwidth you need it is hard for me to give advice. So, have the potential landlord do a ATT Speed Test (www.att.com/support/speedtest/) before you book. Or just get to the island a few days early so you can check bandwidth at a few places before deciding where to stay. Thanks for commenting. TH-cam shows our videos to more people when they get more comments. So your comment is like you are giving us a pay raise. So, thank you! Dan
I love the wild mispronunciations. We all know what you meant, and let's face it, so many expats live in a town for years without ever coming close to pronouncing the name of it correctly. Great info. as always. Camiguin is a great place if you like peace and quiet and the country/provincial life.
Have to disagree on the cleanliness. Have lived here since 2007. I came out of my simple happy retirement to try and fix the waste management problems here. Massive amounts of plastics and trash getting into the ocean here....But Mambajao is almost fixed. Not much getting by our kabooms. Love your channel, wish more knew how much travel can open your eyes...it's a big world not many get to see.
All sounds great! Thanks, I'm ready to get out of America for some years! Unfortunately, the lockdown has disrupted most of my plans! I have a Pinay Girlfriend on Masbate Island i have never met face to face /interpersonal because of the lockdown! SMH
Hey SONSON, thanks for sharing this tip about Camiguin! I appreciate the ideas. Thanks for commenting too. When people comment, our videos are suggested to more people. So thank you so much! Best, Dan
Great great video my brother thank you great prospective keep the videos coming its truly uplifting and keeps me focused on my Escape to Freedom!!👏🏾🤘🏾🤟🏾🤙🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I asked our guide how many people in his village (the clam sanctuary) died in the last major typhoon that passed directly over the island and he said zero. "They give us a couple of days warning and we seek higher ground."
if your American you should not rent instead buy a lot and house. You can have a beautiful house for P300,000 or P300,000 divide it to 50 (50 is pesos equivalent to 1 dollar)
Thanks for sharing. I agree with some additional thoughts. You should never buy real estate in a foreign country that you have not lived in for at least one year. Rent a furnished place and wait 18 to 24 months before deciding if you want to live there forever. If you buy in the first 6 months and then decided to leave, you may not have the same liquidity as you would in the USA--it may take longer to sell. Thanks for commenting. Dan
Just use my data to narrow your search. In the end you have to decide. My comparison is useful because I am comparing places from the same set of eyes.
I've been here twice and Camiguin is an excellent place for vacation. Yeah, P40,000 is already a luxurious monthly income if you have no kids to support.
Thanks for sharing Don. What sort of budget do you keep there? Are you living there now? Let me know if you would like to share your story: vagabondbuddha.com/contact/ Please subscribe if the mood strikes. Dan
In Canada the average government pension payout is about $600 per month Canadian, in the USA i believe its about $1000 US ( $1300 Canadian) and people wonder why I hate this country I live in , I will leave it.
Honestly, I love my country *(USA), but I rather live in about 10 other places around the world. I like the education and experience of seeing the world.
@@VagabondAwakeExactly, not me, I hate Canada like you wouldnt believe, I was born here and recently realized that I have been used and taken advantage of my entire life, by governments who only cater to the public service , I will retire to poverty if I stay here.
@@chrisbutler6258 Hey Chris, If $600 is all your going to receive in retirement, its do-able. Get away from the big cities, they are expensive. If your single, find a "significant other" that has a good job there. it will help. if you get married, use 13A visa. it the cheapest to do. also search here a youtube, "Charles Schwab debit card." You will SAVE a lot of money here. I am diabetic, I can get my medications there, cheaper then here in the US. Go figure right? You can also buy health insurance there, and it cheap. Medical is cheap....BUT I will say,,,If you use the hospital/ doctors, Office visits, you MUST pay BEFORE you leave. just the way it is there. My wife (Filipina) and I will be moving there this time next year when I retire. I plan on buying some machine shop equipment and making custom parts for motorcycle there. Not that I need an income there, I enjoy building/making things. Search for way to make $ there. If you have skills, use them. If I can help more , please let me know.
@@doesntmatter3068 thank you, i will definitely keep in touch. By the way I am a machinist, a CNC operator a gasfitter and an HVAC technician, maybe I could find something to do?
@@chrisbutler6258 Your kidding Chris????? I've been machining for 35 years!!! LOL About 15 of those is mold making... Dude you got skills!! I've been in connect with a youtuber in the motorcycle world in Manila.......he tells me carbon fiber mold/motor bike part where some $ can be made. If anything thing, you can do some consulting there. Hummm, maybe we should talk soon???? What part of Canada you from?

Hope you enjoyed it!
Wow thanks for this video. My father from Sagay camiguin island, my German fiancee we've been there camiguin island last January 2020.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@VagabondAwake your welcome.
@@VagabondAwake my pleasure.
I've been to this island several times, it very beautiful there. It is small, we rode around
the whole island on a scooter in 3 1/2 hours, even stopping at some tourist spots. The language in the southern
Philippines is Bisayan, mostly the same alphabet as the English language, same vowels, BUT different sounds.
You can't pronounce their words using English.
Camiguin is pronounced "come - ME - gun" accent on the "ME."
The big island to the south, Mindanao, is pronounced "MEND - duh- now" accent on the "MEND",
which is where I met my wife.
If your healthy, great place to settle down. Good hospitals are far away.
Great video! love it.... I do miss this little island. VERY friendly ppl here!
If all possible, visit here in October, when the lanzones festival is going on.
lanzones is a fruit about the size of a golf ball,,,,,,VERY DELICIOUS!!

Thanks for the info. How about the cost ,quality and accessibility of healthcare in the islands.
Two of the top 3 are a ferry ride away ... Cebu, Dumaguete, and Manila. Prices are cheap all over SE Asia. 70% to 90% cheaper than the USA.
and the healthcare there is 70 to 90% worse, believe me i live there and as far as cebu goes its the same
Firstcarl Lastpeds Thailand is far better, quality of life and healthcare

Awesome stuff and you always provide great information. Based on you experience what would be your top place to retire in the PH.?
Right now my two favorites are Camiguin and Dumaguete (Valencia area). But we are touring the Philippines right now, so stay tuned. :-)

adds to the fun.
I asked our guide how many people in his village (the clam sanctuary) died in the last major typhoon that passed directly over the island and he said zero. "They give us a couple of days warning and we seek higher ground."
Camiguin is not frequently hit by typhoons unlike those northerly islands like Samar and Bicol region.

Hey Chris,
If $600 is all your going to receive in retirement, its do-able. Get away from the big cities, they are expensive.
If your single, find a "significant other" that has a good job there. it will help. if you get married, use 13A visa. it the cheapest to do.
also search here a youtube, "Charles Schwab debit card." You will SAVE a lot of money here.
I am diabetic, I can get my medications there, cheaper then here in the US. Go figure right?
You can also buy health insurance there, and it cheap. Medical is cheap....BUT I will say,,,If you use the hospital/
doctors, Office visits, you MUST pay BEFORE you leave. just the way it is there.
