I like this video, simple and short.

[@adventurewithjoe]

Great video Evan! I can't wait to see more videos like this. Let's link when you're here again, I'll show you some cool spots.

I stayed in a good hotel for $35/night. It came with free breakfast, daily housekeeping, and it was 1 block from Ayala mall.

[@garyhamilton9186]

Another great video Evan. My family will be staying in BG C November 27 thru December 18, hopefully we will see you while we are out and about.

Yes you are right a comfortable bed is the most important thing about an apartment. When you get a good nights sleep, you are definitely in a good mood.Thanks Evan. Good job !!!😊

You can get something like this in Thailand for only $300 a month. Save about $600.

No long term Visa options for a young person. I would love to live in thailand or vietnam but philippines makes it much easier.

[@timothybricker615]

​@@wanderingdoc5075I love Thailand 🇹🇭 but no long term visas. Philippines is better options for people who want to retire long term. English speaking is also big bonus.

$30 today, $60 tomorrow, it's all a bait and switch scam nowadays...

It depends what one’s own choices are and how much they are willing to spend or can afford. Thanks for sharing 👌🏾👍🏾👏🏾

At my age I’m concerned more with the quality and details vs amount. Personally I set my standard at five star establishments. My days of living like a struggling college kid are over

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

One thing I forget to ask is what are the plugs? Do you need a converter or adapter coming from the U.S.?

Mabuhay and welcome to Cebu - The Queen City of the South. Solinea is a GREAT place to live or visit. A short walk to Ayala Mall in Central Business District - The best Mall in Cebu with shops and indoor/outdoor spaces. You can get a studio in Solinea for around PhP 25-30K/mo or PHP 7500-8000 per week which should be less than $30/day. Let me know if you are there in Jan. I should be back then. Have fun

Sadly, no loveseat/couch.

I really enjoy seeing these examples. I have been debating on transitioning to the Philippines in 2026, but I have my reservations. I've been hoboing around the world before. Either via the military or by a private contract assignment, and I really enjoyed living in BGC in 2021 to 2022. These were unusual times as I was on assignment, and when I wasn't working, I found it hard meeting people and making good connections. I am planning to go back and explore again, but I am more likely to settle down where I am treated best in order to marry and raise a family. Sounds corny, but my priorities are my own. I have been to Cebu, Caticlan, and Boracry also, but if anyone has recommendations, I am open. I am more about creature comforts and conveyance but did not like the very westernized BGC area mindset. I've been told to find a good province girl and bring her to Makati, but I'm not sure about that either. I'd probably eat out every night as I am passionate about food. A nice foodie scene would be appealing.

[@wanderingdoc5075]

Where have you been treated best in your travels?

[@adlrvet5313]
