YOU CAN HAVE THIS LIFESTYLE in the PHILIPPINES- Not Sit in Coffee Shops n Bars Only

- Today's video is the first day of a multi day trip here on Panay Island Iloilo , Antique and Aklan provinces. We are traveling in a group having fun , making stops and loving life. If you move to the Philippines or have already moved to the Philippines you don't have to just sit doing nothing or being alone. Maybe life with the asawa is getting tense and you need a break out of the routine in the province , barangay and apartment. Then get out and do something. It is cheap to take a bus here in this country and you can get anywhere. Has your single life become sitting in a coffee shop or bar? Get out and meet somebody. Just a simple hello can open a whole new world to you.
We are at PanDan Antique Province (An-tee-kee ) near Libertad not too far from Malay which is where you ferry over to Boracay. Day one is a lot of still shots. Day two and three have great video and drone footage also.
We are a Fil Am couple sharing our lives between living in Texas USA and Iloilo City on Panay Island Philippines. We share dealing with two different cultures, building our solid concrete cast in place home beach side and exploring/ seeking new things. We hope you enjoy and join to be part of a bigger family here on this channel.
Thank you for being apart of our channel and lives.
James and Melinda

Every time I watch one of your videos, I go away with a smile and a feeling of peacefulness. Thank you for what you do!
So nice of you
song fits the mood. i have watched this several times an god willing, im coming to live there. will be a retired 25 year Union man, looking for peace of mind.
@@beachkid1 actually the inflation rates are soaring this past months.
Awesome...
The song used in the video is beautiful. I’m 57 years old, 7 years retired and thriving in a hidden treasure coven in southern Georgia. Congratulations, what a blessed island lifestyle in the Philippines. 🙏🏾🌹💚
Rock on!
I love this video. A Texas boy said, good job.
Awesome! Thank you!
That was nice. I’m glad to see the nature not far from Iloilo. That was one thing I wanted to see as I consider Iloilo province as my place to settle. I like getting out in nature. Phaidon beach is looking good.
James If you ever get up to Roxas City stop by for a visit will give you the dollar tour but take the coast highway drive from Iloilo to Carles home white powder sand beaches it is the most scenic drive then its just 45Km to Roxas City we are along this hwy just 6 KM before Panitan just ask anyone for directions to the Kano Rice Mill / Tom
We plan to Tom. Steve and Shelia are hoping to be back in April. I plan coming up actually before then
Love it !!!
That was awesome I can't wait to explore the Philippines 🇵🇭 with my future wife 2024 retirement 🤗 🇵🇭
My retirement date in Php is 2028 but before then it will be annual holidays to Japan to visit my working wife. A school teacher.
4:13 I find it relaxing seeing sun rays and the shadows early morning like this. Makes me stop and stare
I was grinning ear to ear and a tad choked up at the pool table scene just like when we were 17 in small Texas towns. What a neat happy episode ❤
Actually loved the stills! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing what truly is an amazing life! Great editing!
Thanks so much!
Oooooh, like going back in time when someone yells "roadtrip" and everyone piles into the back of a pickup and off you go.

I've been watching your channel for over two years now and love your content.
I'm so glad the country is now open again as the great enthusiasm (or love of life) of the locals, as you have shown in this video, can be expierened again. We have been able to get a group of Ex-pats and wifes together just north of Manila (Malolos) and are starting to enjoy the experience of the Philippines again also!
Continue to show us great content and let us know when you make your way to Manila as we would love to buy you dinner! I'm originally from Odessa and also lived in Duncan Ok for many years. It is good to hear your Texas voice.
GOOD TIMES WITH GOOD FRIEND'S will always be remembered

Looks like y’all are having a awesome 👏 time 😂👍

My son and I jumped on the Ceres and headed to Culasi to hike to a waterfall. Had a great time. Easy to travel on Panay with private or public transportation.
Sounds awesome
You said it my friend not to survive but to thrive ❤️
The water is so calm…thought it is wavy this season… Great video as always… keep it up💪🏻🎉

My wife last week visited friend in Antipolo and several Cathedrals and Chapels in Tagaytay and Batangas. She said it felt like a pilgrimage. Today all the family inc Granma will visit brother and sister for children’s birthdays. After two weeks my wife hopes her travel documents will be ready for Japan.
Frog on a log lol lol But remember the frog on the log is happy just sitting there.
A rolling stone grows no moss... not a bad way to travel either.. Cheers
Proud to be a pilipino and proud to my country
I'm proud of your country too! Stay awesome
@@TexasFilipino I knew your a pilipino at heart sir ,youved have all the attitude of a pilipino kind,patience,a loving person.
Melane and I had a great time with y'all! Thanks for organizing the craziness. 😎
Dude you was so much fun. You kept great topics going and was the best co pilot ever. We really enjoy you all. Good People!!
James, BEAUTIFUL VIDEO ! What an Amazing place there. Many Westerners really don't know How Amazing the Philippines is. There is a very short feeling of Culture Shock at first. Then you go Exploring and THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENS ! I Love the Beauty and Simplicity there. Nicely presented ! :)
Hey James and Miss Mel 😘❤️ that was a refreshing video and very nice scenery I particularly like the sunset ❤️... At least you weren't bitching about shit no one really wants to hear about the bullshit.. you know 🤔... Let the good times roll life's too short for bulshit... I think I had pneumonia I've been really down and I looked up my symptoms and figured it out... Thank God it wasn't covid... I think I already had that a couple x... God is with me and I'm still breathing.. God be with you and Mel 😘❤️
did you know you can get a pneumonia vaccine now? It is suppose to keep you clear of getting it for a long time. I would not play around with that condition as it can be bad bad
Hope your feeling better
Big Daddy is jealous. I want to be there so bad. 😥
@@beachkid1 I won't be going there because the Country says I have to have the Vax. I'll see James and Melinda back home in Texas.
You dont have to have vax just do a few days in a hotel and then go on your way. you will need the rest anyways.
NOT YA PAW PAW It does make one a little envious I really miss it & it makes me want to hurry back . Brother you need to go at least fir a visit if nothing else Po . I must warn you though it's impossible to get it out of your blood and or mind at least it is for me . Mabuhay God bless
Looks like a good time
4:44 how can you not like this view
I agree
Wow shots fired on the dumaguete expats.
Iloilo vs dumaguete expats.
it would be cool to meet with ya and chat. im a texas boy also.
Dallas

Looks better than Galveston
New subscriber here from the shoutout that World Zoom gave you. Greetings from San Antonio!!!!
Thanks for subbing! Tell him I said thank you
Good morning
Good morning
These out of the way places are the best places in the philippines , My bigest complaint about the philippines is noise pollution, even some of the best hotels are surrounded by noise , barking dogs, loud music , loud motorcycles, roosters, even boracay is noisy but its almost like heaven when you can find a place without noise. This place looks pretty quiet.
Cauyan resort in El Nido is super quiet.
Panay have train in the future
That's the same route and places that Marilyn and I went while there on Panay in our efforts to catch up with you and Miss Mel. 🙂 After the 1st day on Panay where we stayed near your place we went that same route and stayed at the same place in this video - Phaidon Beach Resort. We chose that place in our trip planning because it was close to the Blue Lagoon and Cold Springs Tubing at Malumpati. I saw that online prior to our trip and wanted to ask you and Miss Mel if you wanted to try it with us. Anyway, as you know, once we realized we were so close to Boracay we left our stuff at Phaidon and went for what ended up being two days at the same Henann Resort you stayed on Boracay. 🙂 I was smiling the whole time watching your video today! That's awesome! Good memories and what a coincidence.
Hope you had as much fun as us! Did you float when you was there?
Our plans changed when we went to Boracay so on our way back to Phaidon which I believe was your Birthday Party Day we stopped at the Tubing place and just took a look around because Marilyn wasn't feeling well. I'm glad you all enjoyed.
The Philippines is suchhhh a beautiful country...Super trip it looks like.
BTW...
There's a retired military couple I follow from Aklan...Very nice life they've built for themselves there...
They operate a restobar right off one of the beaches nearby, and they also show some of the sites in the areas...
Nice people all over...Anyway...
Thanks for sharing this change up...Can't be building every day...Gotta take that break!
TC
🙏🙏🙏
👍😎👍
Actually we go out often and we just dont always show everything LOL
Soooo looking forward to our house in Roxas City being completed soon and we can leave Manila and come on down to Capiz to start the rest of our lives. Question : If you were to do a leisurely lap of Panay Island taking your time and taking in the sights along the way,... how many days would you think ?
atleast a week or more
I bet you are ready to get in your home
@@TexasFilipino
Very, very much ! Another few weeks to finish the house, then the expected headaches of moving and settling in. End of March will be sitting on Baybay Beach with the sun (and my bloodpressure) going down.
Oh wow, great! I am from Roxas City, Capiz, my home province. I just retired from work and was able to build a modest 2-door apartment at the Mission Hills subdivision, about a 15min ride from Baybay beach. Great choice as Roxas City is the cleanest among the cities in the Visayas, if I'm not mistaken. So peaceful, too. Seafoods is sooooo good, too, over there! Thank you for choosing Roxas City to be your retirement place👌❤️
@@TexasFilipinojust stumbled your awesome YT videos today. Nice contents👌❤️
🥰😎I am coming back soon Amen this is Choctaw Ron 💌
Your a Indian Outlaw Half Cherokee and Choctaw so is your baby a Filipina Chippewa? She is a one of a kind! LOL Sounds great Ronald
Agree 100%. It’s hard to do that even here in the states because everyone has many reasons (money, busy, working, illness ect). I actually stopped seeing what I was thinking was a good friend but getting him out was like pulling teeth.
Just wondering if you have the girls make the accommodations (reservation) when you travel to ensure your getting a fair price?
I usually do our booking.
I see Tito Tim

Hello from Malmö, Sweden. Noticed a Danish flag in the pool room. Danish owner? Name of the place? Enjoying your videos 👏🏻
The owner is from Austria , Name of the place is shown in the video. My wife's sister and nephew live in Sweden. We plan to come visit there
Aha Austria. Just asking bcs the flag was not hanging correctly 😅 Come visit Malmo. My wife is from San Fernando, Bukidnon, Mindanao 😍
Is surf fishing not popular over there? You got long stretch of beach over and nothing to catch by the surf??
They pull nets along the beaches non stop by hand and boat. Nothing to catch unless you get lucky.
Everything goes to their dinner table i guess. They don't have fishing regulations then. I saw some fishing vlogs over there, they don't throw back small fish. Everything is a keeper..
