About Me
My name is Gio and I left the USA over 7 years ago to travel SE Asia and live a better life without stress and cold winters. My first few years here I taught English in The Philippines and also Vietnam. I quickly learned that working 40+ hours a week wasn’t what I wanted to do.
Follow my journey as I travel around The Philippines reviewing different islands and cities searching for the ideal retirement destination.
