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.
