Is Dumaguete boring…will I like the Philippines 🤔?

My name is Kevin. I hope you will enjoy my videos of my great new life of early retirement in Dumaguete in the Philippines. Come along on my island hopping trips to beaches, snorkeling, mountains, waterfalls and other Philippine destinations. I’ll introduce you to friends, so you can learn about dating, finding a place to live, restaurants, and best places to buy groceries.

He's telling the truth guys, he welcomed me to dumaguete and gave me his number and stayed in touch with me. Made sure i was ok. Kevin's a great bloke. Cheers maxie.

The one thing that's important when you retire is keeping yourself healthy. What better place to do this than in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Fresh fruits and vegetables, sunny weather, seafood, etc. And, doing all of these in a small budget, if you're from the west of course.
