About Me
“Welcome to my journey through Southeast Asia! Over the past several years, I’ve lived in the Philippines, Vietnam, and now Thailand — experiencing firsthand the unique lifestyle, culture, and opportunities each country offers.
In Vietnam, I spent time living in Ho Chi Minh City, one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting and fast-paced cities, where I taught English and explored the mix of tradition and modern living. In the Philippines, I experienced everything from bustling Cebu and Iloilo to laid-back Bacolod and Dumaguete. Today, I’m based in Thailand, continuing to explore and compare life across the region.
Here you’ll find practical advice on travel, cost of living, dating, and retirement, along with honest insights into what it’s really like to settle down in Southeast Asia. Whether you’re planning a move, considering retirement, or just curious about life here, I share tips, stories, and experiences to help you make the most of your own adventure.”
