My expat journey



Olongapo City, Philippines
I love living here. I was just outside, watering some plants I'm trying to grow (and adventure in itself!), and I looked around at the palm trees, and could smell the ocean air, and started to giggle. I'm still absolutely thrilled to actually be living here, even after one year. I don't want to go home!
Web site developer, online marketing and photography.
I love the people, the environment and the weather (except the typhoons). I love waking up in the morning and walking down to the beach (2 minute casual stroll), and having coffee and reading the newspaper (yes, I still read those - analog can be good). I love traveling around the country practicing photography. The Philippines has so many unique environments there's never a lack of subject matter. From jungles (sorry - (Rain Forests), to Beaches, to Mountains, to.. well, you get the picture.
The infrastructure is 30 years old and is not improving very quickly, once you get out of certain parts of Metro Manila. The one thing I dislike the most is that my internet connection is incredibly slow and buggy. That and the daily power outages and lack of water pressure :)

thinking about moving to the philippines- need a nice-safe apartment by kccowboy170
need to find a nice safe apartment for under $200.00-anywhere in the philippines-need all of the info i can get about moving there and living there-thanks-gary
You can find a safe, clean apartment for $200 per month, but don't expect a deluxe condo for that price. That's roughly php8,400, as of today, and here in Subic, that will get you an OK place. Don't expect air conditioning, cable TV or internet at ... Read More
