Most guys Google the Philippines. I live here.
Fishtank Media is a no-nonsense channel for men who are seriously thinking about retiring in the Philippines — or already here and figuring it out the hard way. No highlight reels. No brochure version. Just real numbers, hard lessons, and honest intel from someone who's actually in it.
I cover the real cost of living, retirement budgets that actually hold up, SRRV and visa reality, expat healthcare, banking, and money transfers — plus the relationship dynamics and in-law truths nobody else will say out loud.
I'm in provincial Samar with my Filipina wife and kids. I hold a 13a marriage visa. I've been here long enough to know what they left out of the brochure.
If you want the polished version, there are a million other channels.
If you want the brutal, boots-on-the-ground version — you're home.
New videos every Wednesday and Saturday.
Be excellent to each other.
