About Me
“My name is Gio, and I left the USA over eight years ago in search of a better life in Southeast Asia, free from stress and cold winters. In my early years, I taught English in both the Philippines and Vietnam but soon realized that working 40+ hours a week wasn’t the lifestyle I wanted.
Join me on my journey as I explore the Philippines, visiting various islands and cities in search of the perfect retirement destination.”
