🇵🇭 Life in the Philippines: Does it really feel like a "cheat code"?

We all know the cost of living here is different, but I’ve been thinking a lot about why it can genuinely feel like an advantage—especially when you pair it with the right remote opportunities.

In my new video, I’m breaking down why a modest international income can lead to a completely different quality of life here. From home ownership and brand-new cars to just enjoying the best comfort food on a rainy day, it’s all about perspective. Plus, I share a quick story of how a small connection helped change a friend's life for the better.

I finally realized that the longer I let my hair grow, the older I look... so it was time for a change! ✂️ We found a spot in Mandaluyong where $5 gets you a premium cut and a legendary massage. I feel 10 years younger and way lighter.

We’re leaving... From Baguio to Airport REAL QUICK!

The views, the cold air, and the zigzag roads... Baguio really felt like a different country. But wait until you see the road we took to get to the airport. 🎢 It’s basically a 4 to 5-hour roller coaster ride on the side of a cliff!

Plus, we met someone special at NAIA! 🇵🇭✈️🇰🇷

Baguio vlogs aren't always strawberries and sunshine! 🍓❌

Today’s adventure took us to the abandoned Diplomat Hotel. It was a wild day. Honestly, I wasn’t ready for the energy of this place. 🚩
