About Me
About Gio On The Go
I’ve spent the past several years living and traveling throughout Southeast Asia — including the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Kenya, and now Thailand — not as a tourist, but as someone building a real life abroad.
Along the way, I’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and what can quietly cost foreigners a lot of money if they don’t plan properly.
This website exists for one reason:
to help you avoid expensive mistakes when traveling, relocating, or retiring overseas.
I’ve lived in major cities and smaller provincial areas, navigated visas, housing, dating, daily expenses, and long-term lifestyle decisions — and I share what YouTube videos often leave out.

Insurance That Covers You While Traveling In In SE Asia.
Traveling to SE Asia or Africa can come with unique challenges that travelers might not face in other regions. One essential step in planning your trip is securing the right insurance coverage. Having the proper insurance, both at home and abroad, can save you from unexpected situations, especially during a pandemic. Consider key insurance options such as health, travel, and evacuation coverage to ensure you’re fully protected during your trip.
