[@alincalcity]

Both of you are very smart and wise on this subject. I can't wait to start my life in the Philippines! Thanks for posting your video.

[@EastJavaExpat]

Great stuff!

[@kimonharamis7812]

This guy is very bright. He never skipped a beat

[@therock200202]

Great video 😊

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Thanks! 😊

[@ChrisRoberts4]

Wow Reekay, this one is a clean home run in my books. Nice guy, doesn't hold back like many others. He deserves the best.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kinds words

[@chrisbunka]

Did this guy in the interview just say he was from Pure Michigan? Yes, Ree-Kay. I have lived in both the IE and Pure Michigan 😉

[@hardmtnbiker]

That guy is a straight talker and he is super sensible about being a single man in PHL.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@jamesmarchetti3286]

Great information and he was definitely humble and honest !!! 👏 👏 👏 !!! 🤗 !!!

[@geoffb5813]

This bloke sounds really sensible and together. He’s right when he says, that the perception of every Philippino woman is a scammer. It is BS. We guys just have to be careful. Great interview Geoff from Australia 🇦🇺

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you!

[@mattjohn6819]

It would seem that way especially if you are doing online dating

[@MenRising]

I am in a similar situation as this guy. I have not yet moved there yet. I would like to talk to this gentlemen more about his situation. Fix this up Reekay!!!!

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

he has replied to comments here, just send him a comment.

[@nab-88]

This was good info. I'm turning 36 this month and planning to relocate. House is for sale, work contract ends in November. Flight is booked for December. I'm networking and online dating. Now the goal is set.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

excellent. enjoy! and.. pace yourself. :)

[@koufax174]

Excellent interview. That’s the most fruitful and helpful interview I’ve heard in a long time. Especially about signal and dating in the Phillipines. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you

[@columbus7275]

This guy was great. Thanks Reekay for pulling this interview together. 🍻

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@gobfranklin6759]

This is worth listening to several times. Appreciate the pointers and the topic.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

thanks! glad you found it useful.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you

[@TheyCalledMeT]

ever thought about mobile solar cells to make sure your power bank doesn't empty too fast?

[@dr.richmann4477]

The Filipina Pea just did an unboxing video today on You Tube about the Starlink she bought for her internet service.

[@stanleyboothe4893]

I watched that too. Starlink + backup generator would be top on my list if i was in Bacolod area.

[@BelusTraveller]

Yep I seen it we are getting it, Cost about double but worth it, 3 story roof top, 100% Open Sky

[@botaka54]

Now here are 2 gentlemen that have walked the "landmines of the filipina dating scene" Now look at the risk of a man who does not have the luxury of living in PI. You meet a nice fiiipina and go to meet her. It does not work out you now have to go back home without a relationship and start all over again. Meantime you spent 3k-5k up in smoke and time to rebuild your savings account for the trip next year. It took Reekay about 10 years before he found the love of his life and he lived there full time! Congrats to Reekay.

[@jeremysautomobile]

That was my 2018 and my 2019. I was even engaged. But it's VERY hard to really know someone through your phone and limited visits. That's why I decided if I was serious, I had to sacrifice and move here. But it's certainly not for everyone.

[@juancarlosvaldes4538]

Great interview Henry and I wish this guy much success and a great relationship ahead!

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

i believe he will do well.

[@Max-oi9es]

Wow, I'm 50, from Michigan as well and this week will be my 7th month here in the Philippines. I can't believe how similar of an experience your guest has had to my own as an expat. I do believe you are mostly what you attract. Most, if not all of what this man said has been parallel to my experience when it comes to dating here and having the best transitioning experience possible. I sold my home, equipment, and one of my automobiles and never looked back! When I meet an expat I don't think they really get me when I express to them how happy I truly am here or how good I've been treated by the locals. You can have a Top-Tier experience in a developing country without spending thousands that you'll never get back and having the worst possible outcome as if it were your destiny. You could make it nicely if you needed to on a 1,000.00 monthly budget. Live Ike a Filipino and as he said, expand from there add the little things as you go.

[@chrisbunka]

Where on the hand are you from in MI? And where do you call home in the Philippines? I am interested in fellow Michiganders who have made the leap from Pure Michigan to places in SE Asia.

[@danmcqueen5295]

Very good! Always valuable to hear direct experience.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Absolutely!

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kinds words

[@brat4300]

I had 2 kids and a vasectomy... It was always the first thing that came up because i was looking for a woman without kids or older kids. I'm 51 and done raising young kids. Thanks for the blueprint. I want to move back with my wife before i retire.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Yeah, the last think I want to do is bait and switch a woman who has a dream to have kids.

[@godsson1277]

GREAT!! Interview both U and the the guest was outstanding one of the top ones i have watchedfrom U. The guest was very transparent and spoke on alot on thgs without U even having to ask. Look forward to make like this and even hearing from him again! Blessings! 🙌🏾

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

thanks! "if" he were to agree to return for another interview, what topic would interest you to discuss?

[@godsson1277]

@Lifebeyondthesea I would say, with him only being there a year now and had been to the Philippines many times b4 he move there, what would be a list of thgs HE would plan out to do with 2weeks of vacation in a place like Cebu dating etc. Thanks Reekay!

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@jeremysautomobile]

@@godsson1277 Hmmm, that is a good talking point.

[@clydethomas8299]

If I could, I'd be there...

[@GBU61]

If there is a blueprint for how to move to another country, this guy would be a good choice. The planning and preparation was thoroughly done and his transition into a new life was smooth. There are certain things that have to be done in the new country that no one really prepares a guy for, but the major things that will make/beak the experience are obvious and should be accountable for. He will have a successful and fulfilling life there.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kind words

[@billmoesh-dy9wr]

Great interview!

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you.

[@thomascaptain1110]

This guy is spot on

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kinds words

[@Makeit101]

Just an excellent interview of an excellent subject, who provided tons of very useful quality information for ex-pats or those who plan on becoming one. Probably the best interview of its type on KZbin or anywhere else!

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Glad it was helpful!

[@edmund2j]

Interesting approach. Thanks sharing. Something to think about for a remote worker.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Any time!

[@dans1741]

Very informative and good video. I would like to see more of individuals from the west. With more good insight.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Noted!

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you.

[@ShikokuFoodForest]

I appreciate this person sharing his personal story and experience securing his remote employment. This man sounds smart, respectful and very genuine with a kind heart. I am just starting to seek work I can also do remotely from the Philippines. I haven’t decided which type of work to focus on yet. I’m researching options. I’m an Environmental Engineer, Teacher, writer and health care professional. I’ve been teaching English in Japan, but am motivated to leave and begin a new life in the PHs. Thank you for all your advice! This information is very helpful.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

yes, it can be done.. working remotely. but it does take a bit of homework to find a reliable job. a side-hobby of mine the last few years has been to check out these "online income gurus" on youtube, since 2020. and i've yet to find one that can actually deliver the hype they put out.

[@ShikokuFoodForest]

@@Lifebeyondthesea Haha... I discovered the exact same thing (and hype!). I started watching these online-work gurus on KZbin several months ago as well. They make it sound so easy to secure all kinds of gigs online to generate so many revenue streams. After a few months, I figured out, their leads and advice are not so easy after all. I eventually gave up and have been thinking of my own strategies since. It’s still a work-in-progress, which I had to momentarily put on hold to secure new work in Japan in order to renew my visa here, so I am allowed to stay in this country until my exit plan is finalized. I’ll eventually figure it out.

[@janhansen6195]

Starlink is a must in the Philippins and why not live in a big city like l did live in Makati and l loved it, but l had my full pension from Norway when l lived there so l had my best life there, but me and my Filippina wife moved home when covid happen and then we got a baby and now l want her to grow up here, so we stay here and go on hollyday to the Philippines

[@humanresources2829]

I think you just saved alot of innocent men from a terrible experience. nice informative video

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@jimadams2113]

Great interview, thanks.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@strawberryshortcakemitchell]

BGC got no blackouts ask The Savvy Expat Vlog 😁💖🇵🇭

[@TopGMindsetCoach]

Good Information 👍 Thank You 💯

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Glad it was helpful!

[@themacker894]

He's a dedicated individual. Working all night, sleeping all day, and all the junk that goes with trying to keep stable internet. He must really like women. BTW, Starlink in the states is very reliable. Weather doesn't seem to matter much at all - snow, rain, overcast, etc. Best of luck to him!

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kinds words

[@Alexinthephilippines]

I visited Justins place in Oct and will do a course with him next year. It will be good to get back on the horse again. Looks like some nice coral right from the shore there. Would be cool to dive together in the future.

[@diablo30]

Your guest really had some good information that I have not heard before about the ex husbands and boyfriends. I definitely need to add that into my future girlfriend hunt.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kinds words. I learned some of that the hard way...haha

[@Michael-bi7zx]

Never thought I would find a guy who talks more than Reekay

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

ha!! :D

[@mikestout9588]

Great stuff, I am definitely not Brad Pitt, this gives me hope! Just got to get the job situation nailed down

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

You got this!

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you, and getting the job situation nailed down is the key to everything!

[@ldrdoctor5264]

Me too i live without Pension. Passive income is my solution and it works well😅

[@wanabetruckerdave3776]

You need to have him back for a follow-up interview. That was 30 mind of good advice.👍👍

[@jeremysautomobile]

I'm down! Thank you for your kind words.

[@byroncollier4253]

why dont he buy a generator just case of a brownout

[@deanrotering879]

Good video. Nice to hear real experience

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Thank you!

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kinds words

[@mattclark7718]

Great interview. Many guys are in a similar situation with lots of questions. Thanks guys.

[@jeremyking3986]

I went through a divorce at 49, I’m 52 and planning on retiring in 5 years when my youngest finishes college. I’ll have about $100k in savings that would have to last me 3 years until I get my 401k, which will hold me over till I get my Pension and SS. I plan on making 2-3 trips in the next 3 years to check out places. And In the meantime I’ll just keep watching videos.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

sounds like a plan. you can do it.

[@setha360]

Advice from a old sailor, was first in PI 1983, last visit 2008 Last visit Thailand 2020, never talk about how much money you have, always dress down, no jewelry, blend in buy clothes there, smiling faces have one goal your wallet, PI wants your baby and never date single moms or separated women from husbands.

[@Once800-]

Just don’t knock anyone up.

[@musictomotion]

You can do it. I’m also 52 and lost my job in Sept. Came here in October and have learned how to use stock options and dividend stocks, etc to live off of until I turn 62. Definitely possible and I’m actually making more now than when I worked full time. Just trading from the Philippines :)

[@FilipinaGirlOutThere]

Just explore Philippines and consider Bohol as an option lovely small island. I am excited to settle there when I retire as I'm done my job here in NY. Goodluck.

[@pawool]

This was actually really helpful. Thank you!

[@magnuswayne7002]

Great video brother 💯

[@GuySmiling]

I had star link. It has lots of outages

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

from what i understand, having a clear line of sight to the sky at all times (unobstructed) is key.

[@leg414]

Thank you for this most informative interview, with a man with actually has done this and explains the what ifs and what is there and shows that it can be done and done effectively! Peace

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kinds words

[@bigdreamsphilippines]

One of the best interviews I have ever heard !!! I have been to the Philippines 🇵🇭 and plan on living there before retirement! I can easily live very well with for 1200 per month! People argue with me constantly on this ! Lol 😂 My monthly budget would be 2k with a 50k emergency fund ! It’s totally doable but you just have to be prepared ! Thx 🙏

[@jeremysautomobile]

Wow, thank you for your kind words (I'm the one in the interview). It really is doable. We fool ourselves into thinking we need things that we don't. The key is, look at how locals are living, and start there. I see families living on $300 a month here. I actually think I could live on 500 a month here if I wanted to...IF I wanted to....haha. But I have my Aircon going as I type this, so I guess I'm still too soft...haha

[@bigbrother4ever]

​@jeremysautomobile you did s bold move though if you are relying on the job you just got. I am almost your age, well one year older. Our pension kicks in at 65. I have been working remotely for the last 7 years but my contract won't be renewed next year😢. Luckily I never took that remote job for granted and used the money and the flexibility to buy assets and do a bit of traveling. Now back to you, how do you know that the job will continue for the next 12 years or so until pension .?

[@maxingaroundtheglobe]

great vid, very informative. He sounds like a smart guy. keep up the good work = )

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Thanks, will do!

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kinds words

[@etfremd]

Okay got my goal now…come live and date until I am tired of it! Excellent interview! Sensible guy! Hope he finds a great partner with kids and no father! I am working on my online business strategy! Just a note he could get a residency in S Dakota and avoid state income taxes…He can have his mail forwarded to his parents house in Michigan.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kinds words

[@es9415]

It sounds like Reekay is doing both voices.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

nah.. that'd be too much work. ha!

[@4040smokey]

Excellent interview.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you

[@36handy]

Great interview Reekay.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

thanks! :)

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thanks

[@nb4394]

Congratulations, for your work 👍👌❤️

[@midlifewanderings]

We used the GoMo prepaid monthly while visiting there and we thought it was great being in the province. Now there is a hybrid PLDT connection that my niece use as a call center agent working from home. On another note, I really think people who make comments about Filipinas as gold diggers don't know what they're talking about. My take on that is that it depends on where you're looking for a partner and as with any relationships my advise is take it slow and get to know the girl better. Don't fall head over heels right away like some expats. Anyway, good to see you again, @LifeBeyondTheSea, welcome back!

[@greggreenhill1809]

Wow, are stories so similar . I just got back from Cagayan de oro seeing my finance. Trying get back asap. I've worked in parts for 25 years.

[@dochi1958]

Couple small solar panels would be great for back up power as well, especially if gas is scarce after a storm.

[@XsxLife]

👍 Awesome interview 👍

[@TheFox808]

Outstanding interview! So informative and helpful thanks so much to you both! :) I really like that he said to be honest with girls about your intentions upfront instead of breaking their hearts later. I was completely honest with every girl when I was there last year (and I was in Bohol and Panglao too!). It definitely makes it harder as many girls drop off when you tell them you're only there on vacation, but at least I can sleep well at night.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Glad it was helpful!

[@leew9328]

This sounds great. I'm a 58 year old expat living in Jamaica on 2k/month. Am goong through a terrible divorce from a native currently and as soon as that all settled the Philippines sounds nice. Any suggestions on websites that would give me more information on good places to live? I can definitely live like a native (I do in Jamaica).

[@befree9579]

Check out Kenya. Mombasa has nice beach / cost living is good. $200 a month for a nice 1-2 bed condo.

[@napoleonmdusa8877]

Great interview.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thanks

I live in SW Michigan and they’re talking snow next week..

[@jeremysautomobile]

I lived in West Michigan my whole life. I'm coming next month for Thanksgiving and I hope I don't freeze to death. My body has adjusted to the heat here...haha

[@silvercollector434]

Divorced last yr after 18 yrs (currently I’m 49) planning on visiting Bohol next yr for two months to scout it out, so far I’m 99% sure I want to live on Bohol it has a chicken factory, milk factory and it’s own power plant

[@rickfromdenver6150]

Best video so far

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@jamesharding1488]

great interview

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thank you

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

Online remote jobs... www.indeed.com

[@Remianen]

HOLY CRAP this was helpful! I'm also planning to keep my current job working from home. Targeting Cagayan de Oro for the strong internet really narrows my search area, given my needs. If you can live like a king on 1500 a month, I'm going to practically be Caesar while still maxing my 401k and Roth contributions. But the internet bit was easily the most helpful to me.

[@davidmadison1087]

Be aware that although Cagayan de Oro may have good internet and fewer brownouts, the city itself and location is horrible. Most expats live up on the hill in Lumbia. The traffic, pollution, and water are terrible. Davao area is a much better option.

[@nevergiveup-db6fp]

Come on guys get this guy 200,000 subscribers he deserves it 😀🌴🌴🍺🍺

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

thanks! :)

[@jjess4]

This interviewee's responses were insightful, thoughtful, experienced. Honestly this guy should have his own channel because he is able to articulate his experiences in such a way that it's clear and understandable as well as wise. I particularly liked the part where he's talking about making a decision if you're going to date a woman with a child, that the father is not in the picture, that you're willing to make this lifelong commitment, not just with the woman but also with the child. I would probably have a caveat to that that unless you are very serious about this woman, you really shouldn't be a part of that kid's life and should be looking at him as the interviewee described but at a distance and not creating a personal relationship with this child. Because if you leave this woman and you created a relationship with the child, you're going to break that child's heart and emotionally cause issues because if you leave that child's life, they're going to consider all men and this is how their relationship is supposed to look at, coming into a woman's life and then leaving her life. Well done, great interview.

[@vincelafore4281]

Good video, good content. 👍🍻

[@jeremyking3986]

I’d like to know what dating site he’s using🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BoldlyExplore]

Can you please write out the names of the places he’s saying? Cannot understand his locations. 😢

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

some of the places he mentioned are; cebu, lapu lapu, cagayan de oro (CDO), bohol and panglao.

[@MitchSpargur]

I would love to have a tutorial on pets! I have 2 miniature schnauzer dogs that have pretty much become my children long ago and I know short term stays like a month is not realistic but thoughts? Knowledge? Anything you have about pets would be greatly appreciated.

[@methemonkeyking]

Pets are family. When I'm vacationing out of the country, I wished my dog was with me.

[@jamesballard6564]

I've heard it can cost 5k US when all is set and done.

[@5252525219]

I know you’re going to hate me for this but I just want to give you my advice. I had many friends that had dogs after divorces that they treated like children the dogs are awesome and I love animals also but they are in the end dogs if you put 100% effort into finding them great homes you would be able to leave it’s not worth missing out on life to take care of pets, I’m not saying throw them away but really are you going to give up life to take care of animals? Like I said I know you won’t agree but that’s just my two cents. I hope you do well if I misunderstood your question, I apologize.

[@mv0697]

What jobs are good for expats I do have pensions but still want to work

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

pickings for jobs are extremely slim. and that's for filipinos. even more rare for an expat. you also cannot work on a Tourist visa, you would need to secure a work visa.. presuming you found an employer. also expect that most PH jobs will pay less than $500/month. if you can find one in say a call-center perhaps.

[@UberToeknee]

Fantastic interview and great info. I plan on visiting this year at EOY doing 2 weeks on a tour. Any recommendations?

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

for a first trip, i highly recommend landing in cebu (not manila). then take a ferry (2-hours) to Bohol and/or nearby Panglao. very tropical, beaches, resorts, restos and not a big metro-city. but still has malls and all the needed amenities.

[@UberToeknee]

@Lifebeyondthesea this is exactly what this tour does thanks for confirming!

[@belindasmith4690]

I think he should write a novel 😮! A Pinay living in Eastern part of the USA 🤩

[@jeremysautomobile]

haha

[@ByronWatts]

I'm in Bukidnon and not yet retired

[@jeremysautomobile]

Tell us more! How are you supporting yourself if you don't mind? I'm the one in the video by the way.

[@jbrown8601]

Dating in the Philippines seems exhausting.

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

it really is best to pace yourself. dating one at a time is the smart way to do it. but most guys don't have that level of self-control. :)

[@jeremysautomobile]

It is...BUT, that's my own fault. I am learning to develop more self control...haha.

[@philrose7716]

So my question is there is a time difference between Usa and the Philippines how did he compensate for that?

[@CavalrySecurity]

Starlink is your fren...

[@jeremysautomobile]

I hope. I heard both good and bad about it here in PH.

[@scottlanham2855]

I had stopped watching for a while, Man you've come a long way my friend. I remember the old videos and the roosters crowing in the background. You're facial expressions cracked me up. I always wondered if you fried one of those birds up when you were done with your video. I'm binge watching your new stuff. This really was a great interview. More please!! Good luck and God Bless Reekay!!!!

1 US dollar equal 56 Peso. If I US dollar equals one Peso, most of Americans can’t afford living in Asia, let alone find a lover or soulmate 😂

[@danielbowler9398]

Nice

[@Lifebeyondthesea]

hope it was helpful.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Thanks

[@rollingtinfist]

Great interview. I toyed with a trial run working US Pacific hours. Doable but tough. Like he said, one’s internet connection must be on point. Also, important point made easing the idea into your employer’s mind. My manger is a go, but his superiors are thinking of the time difference so, no go, for now. Still, I may try it for a month in a few years once my youngest is 18+ when I plan to go the contract route anyway. I thought originally Cebu, but prefer Bohol for a longer stretch. Still, I’ll test both when the time comes. Thank you for a great interview.

[@jeremysautomobile]

Good thoughts you're having. You could always do a shorter trip here and see how it works out with your job

[@jamesharding1488]

I'm from FL and I think the US is **definitely** a better country than the Philippines (my Fil-Am kids hear it often), but the cost of living in the Philippines on a US income is great. And yes, it's largely one big adventure living here.

[@jeremysautomobile]

I say all the time, I'd never be here in PH if I had to earn here. But the life I'm able to carve out for myself is better here.

what dating sites?

Great video. How does he manage the time difference? My company has given me the option to work remotely from the Philippines since they have a branch in Manila. But the time difference would be hard. I have to work from 10 pm to around 7 am Philippines time, 5 days a week. Cannot do it.

Good question!

In my situation, I am working more of a second shift PST. That means my work hours here in PH are 2:30am to 11am. It's completely dark by 6pm here. So if I go to bed at 6:30pm and get up at 2am to prepare. So this means I sleep when it's dark and get enough sleep. Then from 11am to 6:30 am, I stay up.
