Thank you
I completed HS in Xavier University in the late 60's. Been in the States for more than 25 years. Wow, I can't believe you can live nicely for just $1,000/month. Thank you for your information. I plan to retire in the Philippines but my wife ( a Filipina) can't stand the heat there (she grew up in Manila) but trying to convince her, the heat in the province is tolerable.
Thanks for sharing! Not everyone can live on $1000. You won't really know exactly how much until you complete your exploratory visit and see the costs for the life you want to live here. thanks for commenting. it helps our business grow. subscribe if you like. best, Dan

Plus fresh air and cheap affordable fruit and vegetables , ur near the seaside and near the bukid , btw Iโm from CDO
@@malpete Thank you. Hoping to visit CDO after Covid is gone. Because Covid we have to cancel our visit to CDO this year. Hoping for a great 2021. I want to see the seaside and bukid and convince my wife to settle here for retirement
@@pedrooliveros3085 good luck on your plans , like u. Been away from CDO for 20 yrs now and Xavier alumni too, hoping to retire in CDO in the future , Iโm fairly young at 40s ๐ so until I win the lottery here in London it will be a while to retire ๐
CAgayan de Oro is the gateway of Mindanao. Cagayan de Oro is still in progress and the build build program of the president Cagayan de Oro would be a great and progressive city in Mindanao. Love from Cagayan de Oro City.
Hello michelle castino! Thank you for taking the time to share. Our UA-cam channel grows when people like, comment, or subscribe. It is like you are giving us a pay raise every time! So we really appreciate your help! Best, Dan
Lucban, Quezon is also a cheap, cool almost daily throughout the year, beautiful, quaint, quiet, peaceful and friendly town at the foot of Mount Banahaw and near a bustling city, Lucena. The water flowing out of the mountain's many springs is the freshest and cleanest I've ever seen and tasted. The people are mostly pious Catholics and very welcoming, quite fluent in English, and love to cook for their guests at all times. Fresh fruits and vegetables abound - what a wealth of choices really. I hope you can feature it in your vast cache of profiles in the future before you leave the country - you're one of the most influential vloggers many retirees can trust.
Dee Vera, thank you for being part of our community and leaving this great recommendation. I have put Lucban, Quezon on our travel Q for later this year when we will hopefully be in the Philippines. :-) Dan

I live in California but im renting a 3bedroom house in cagayan de oro and a nice location just going up a small hill so i get to feel a nice breeze. My rent is 8400 pesos and water and electricity combine is like 1200 pesos..total is $189 american dollars..My girlfriend lives in my house im renting..she told me she could find cheaper maybe 6500 pesos but our place looks nice plus its safe n gated..If you groceries shop its cheap..$80 bucks can feed 3 or 2 people for 1 month..
Can I interview you for the channel Family Fun? Video or audio in skype or whatever. Many people benefit from that sort of information. Plus you would be a lifesaver for me since I can't really travel right now so hard to make my normal content. Best, Dan

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for promoting CDO, Philippines..๐๐๐
You are welcome. Thank you for commenting.
Cag de oro is a very safe place for all races unlike what they know about mindanao.it is secured and the people are approachable and the place is very affordable .locals are great that what filipinos are.welcome
Thanks! We sure enjoyed our time there.

I took my kids to cdo last summer and did the white water rafting and hiliean park with ziplines and such. Had a blast. Thanks for the videos you are making. I am learning a lot about se Asia. Always giving you thumbs up.
That is awesome Steve! Thanks for commenting. It helps our business grow. Best, Dan
Enjoy the nature of CDO and some parts of Philippines, your very much welcome.Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you Bebe. Have a great day. Dan
Enjoyed your video
I know CDO better than most, and you summed it up pretty well Dan. It's quite easy to walk around the main parts of the city. The food options are improving, but it's a slow process. Fruit and Veg. is pretty cheap.
Yes. The main market has really cheap fruits and vegetables, rice, and even meats if that is your thing. :-)
@@VagabondAwakeTrue. I hope you got try Pilian Restaurant.? The only Vegetarian restaurant in the downtown area. Great food and cheap too.
My partner is from this island. Now she's living in England with me.. She always says, she's in no hurry to return, as the country's cost of living is sky high, and the traffic is horrendous all day. Also too many crooked politicians who don't give a toss regarding people's living conditions etc... Best thing to do, is visit this beautiful island/country, and return home after your trip is over..
England is a little cold for me Garry. I don't really get involved in local politics. I just enjoy the local warm hearted people. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Dan
There is a good hospital at Cagayan de Oro. You don't have to worry about hospital co'z a lot of specialist there. Cagayan de Oro has a lot to offer
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the subject Michelle!
I miss Cagayan de oro Hoping to be there soon,thanks for sharing your video very nice and informative โฅ๏ธ๐
You are welcome Ronas!
Hope you injoyed your stay at CDO with your loving wife ...
Keep safe of the virus.

My girlfriend lives in Upper Palma Balingoan and wants to attend school in Cagayan de Oro. I am very interested in living with her in C.D.O. thank you for all your efforts.
Sounds great!
Cagayan De Oro= the City where i was born. We pland also to live in Cagayan as early as posible.But 1rst the pandemic must be done.
So true. I can't wait for this thing to be in the rear view mirror.
Whaat 1000 dollars, that is more than I get in my retirentment pension in Norway. It just got more impossible for me to be an expat in Philippines. Now that this inflation is also eating up all the benefits. And many food types has gone up 50% last year here in Norway. Like food oil , canned fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, electricity bills are record high. But for a millionaire in Norway or other countries it is beneficial.
Yes, inflation is a trouble maker for most retirees. But it is still much cheaper to live in many of these retire cheap in paradise countries than most wealthier countries like Norway.
Strong work looks good
Thanks Eric!
Thanks for vloging the cdo goodluck
You bet. :-)
I'm from Cagayan and I am vegetarian too, we eat in Cogon, Cagayan every time we go to the city have a vegetarian restaurant there, or order some Garden fresh pizza from Greenwich and that's an option
Thanks for helping people with information Serva!
wow good to know you visit the city of golden friendship..
Yes, we enjoyed our time there. :-)
if you want to retire in a certain place you have to determine what kind of life you want to have. if you want city life then you gonna spend more because its expensive living in a city and its very boring whereas living in a country side to have a simple life and and enjoy your days quitely is better enjoying life in a farm or beaches your budget of $1000 is a long long way to go it cheaper to live in a countryside far from the city life. Thanks for visiting my place Cagayan de Oro City.
Thanks for your thoughts Rica. Dan
I currently live in CDO. Looking to chat with any Americans currently living here.
Great video, but what about the beaches? Youโre in a coastal city. Would have loved to hear about beach access (doesnโt exist in Cebu City) as well as if the beaches are rocky as in Dumaguete or white and sandy as in Boracay. Alsoโฆ public access. Do you pay for a day pass at a resort in order to get beach access as you must do on Mactan Island across from Cebu City? Maybe in your next video.
No beaches nearby. You need to do a day trip. The beaches nearby are like Dumaguete,.
@@VagabondAwake - Thanks!
Beaches are about 40 minutes drive out west in the towns of Laguindingan, Gitagum, Libertad, and Initao.
From your video it looks like traffic is better there, and air quality must be as well, compared to Cebu City. No beach close is a negative, but the river looked clean also. I saw a kid riding a bicycle, which is good for me, because no license, registration or insurance requirements.
I am with you on both counts. I prefer it over Cebu. And biking is good for your health.
CDO has a 15min. driving distance beaches but not as good as you expected I assumed..
@@nostupidgod9415 yeah
Beaches youd find in cdo is just average not like boracay or any other but if youre meaning to just tan and swim then itll do
@@vinz3022 Marvilla is good.
Good video. But this is just downtown CdeO. You'll find most of the luxurious infrastructure in uptown, both commercial and residential.
Agreed, Have you seen our other videos on CDO? ua-cam.com/users/VagabondAwakeplaylists
Thanks for watching Dmitry! dan
Cogon is the open vegetables and fish/chicken/beef/seafood market in CDO Dan, about two blocks from Centrio Mall.
My My My !!!
Master G!
I'm planing on moving to Cagayan de Oro in maybe September. I'm seeing a phillipan. I'm going to retire soon. I live in the States. Maybe I'll see you one day. That's my plan anyway

Every video has a link in the notes below the UA-cam video:

cagayan de oro city is the best place for retirement since all the products here is very cheap compared to other cities...
It is very nice but I like to be closer to white sand beaches when possible.
if your going to philippines again (CDO) i recommend DAHILAYAN ADVENTURE PARK BUKIDNON

I appreciate your content. I am a Filipino American and about to get into Medicare. One of the obstacles that concerns me about retiring in the Philippines is health insurance coverage. Where can I get information about health insurance? I understand US Medicare is not accepted in the Philippines.

@@VagabondAwake salamat
nice clip:)
Thanks!
The minimum daily salary for people in Cagayan de Oro is around 400 pesos I think. That's just less than $10. And there are lot more who doesn't earn that much. There will be few locals who earn more that $10 but still not that much. Maybe a regular office worker might earn 15 to 25k pesos per month. That's around $500. That's why your American dollar goes a long way living in the Philippines. But if you choose to stay on those really high end resorts then expect to pay $$
Thanks for sharing Cartman. :-)
@@VagabondAwake you're welcome. Enjoy staying in Cagayan de Oro. Just be mindful when crossing the streets, most Jeepney drivers really don't follow the laws and pedestrian safety. That's what I don't be like in Philippines lack of discipline drivers
Is CDO about as congested with traffic as Cebu City is?
I haven't been to Cebu in over a decade so I don't know. But I would guess it is not as bad in CDO because the population is smaller.
@@VagabondAwake - Thatโs when I first arrivedโฆ back in early 2011. Went back in 2015. Same traffic congestion, but not nearly as horrible as Los Angeles, CA, lol.
Food in Philippines is cheap compare in America. Even the cinema is really cheap, like 3 to $5 for a regular movie vs ka $11-15
It feels good having fun without burning through so much cash.
@@VagabondAwake that's what I like in the Philippines, food is really cheap.
I subscribe your channel. It is different
. I have a girlfriend in CDO, My first trip there. I have been to cebu and Dumaguete 2 times
Thanks for the sub! Enjoy!
I'm going to have just about 1k/month, and I'm having a hard time with deciding which P.I. location would be my best choice.
I cook for myself and I'm not a big fan of high living. I'm an outdoorsman, loving land, sea, mountains, and rivers.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
American in Los Angeles. YUK!
You will want to live in the provinces. One of the places very few people are talking about. The way to do that is to just come to the Philippines and travel around until you find your heaven. Most islands have sea level places and mountain areas. You sound like you would like the mountains more. If I were you, I would start my search in Bohol.
@@VagabondAwake Thanks for the reply! Isn't Bohol the place with the "chocolate mountains" ?? If so, it's a beautiful place!
I live in Bacolod, a short drive away is the beach, a little further are rivers and waterfalls.
Nice video, donโt hear much about CDO.
Thanks for the visit
Do you know if there is a visa for people who are married to a Filipina I heard there is one called the 13 a visa
Yes. A bunch of people get marriage Visas. Just go to the expat FB page for CDO and ask. People love to help each other over here. Thanks for commenting Dan

Have you seen any raw water buffalo milk for sale in the traditional market?
Hi Mark,
I haven't looked. I have never even heard that before ... Is that an allergy thing?
Best,
Dan
Vagabond Awake I grew up on raw fresh water buffalo milk sixty years ago when my mom could not breast feed me. I like the taste.
My husband is an American and we are moving to cagayan in the next few years.how often does he need to move out of the country?
You mean how often does he need to leave the country for visa runs? vagabondbuddha.com/retirement-visa-in-the-philippines-do-you-need-one/
@@VagabondAwake yes
My girlfriend live there and planning on retiring there in 6 months
But how do you handle medical insurance if you are constantly traveling?
Eating healthy like Dan, and use some common sense.
Just google medical insurance for long term travelers. I don't buy it though. I just pay for care as I go. The monthly premiums in the USA are more than a week in the hospital in many places in the world. So I just pay as I go and spend less than 1000 per year all in. Even if I got something like cancer .. some of the top rated cancer hospitals in the world are in places that costs less than just the premiums in the USA. Don't believe the hype ... or just buy insurance .. whatever suits you best. I pay as I go. Plus, once you are 65, you have medicare in the USA and you can decide to fly back. I am in the Philippines at a resort today run by an American that is 82. He flys back whenever he needs back surgery.
I'll be retiring in Cagayan de Oro City in a few years. Right now I'm looking for a good bank for my Filipina girlfriend in Cagayan to save money and be able to draw on it with a bank debit card.
My girl will be traveling extensively between Cagayan de Oro City and Kibawe in Bukidnon province, so it's a good idea for her to use a bank that's available and accessible in both cities.
Any suggestions?
I keep my money in US banks. If I were opening a bank in the Philippines, I would just do a little research on where the most ATMS are. Since you are not putting a bundh of money in there, a bank run or collapse won't matter much.
@@VagabondAwake Thank you

Do you know where to find and how much it would cost to ship my new 2019 Jeep Wrangler to the Philippines in the Cagayan de Oro area ?
Would you recommend doing so if you were a Jeep fan so much that you really did not want to drive any another vehicle ?
Can Americans legally drive in the Philippines ?
Is it necessary to obtain a longterm Philippine driver's license if relocating there ?
Thank you in advance for any info you can provide in your answers by anyone who replies. I know it is more than DOUBLE the price to purchase a new Jeep Wrangler in the Philippines and as for me... $80,000.us is jussssst a little bit too high to pay. lol๐ญ๐๐คฃ
I have no idea. I would sell my car at home and buy a Jeep here. Best, Dan
@@VagabondAwake i couldn't see paying $80,000.oo u.s. for a new Jeep Wrangler and I simply don't have that kind of money. Do you ?
@@jamesmichaelfrank
I am filipino and I live in Cagayan. I will try to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge.
Q: How much would it cost to to export your car here in the Philippines?
A: I don't know but, I have found results with a simple search on the internet.
Q: Would I recommend having your Wrangler here in the Philippines?
A: Yes, if you are staying for long term and not to mention brand new cars are more expensive in the Philippines than in the USA. Your Jeep Wrangler would cost 30-60% more with taxes and markup here. I could be wrong with other cars but, a good example I have is the Mazda Miata, the miata cost 30k in the U.S meanwhile here in the Philippines it cost 40k USD.
Q: Can you drive here with U.S.A. driver's license?
A: Yes, I heard you only have up to 90 days and after that you have to get the local driving license but, it is always best to ask local officers here.
Q: Do you have to get the Philippines driver's license?
A: I think it is obvious from the above answer.
Now is a good timing to invest in commercial/residential real estate. The city's economy is booming it is rated number 1 in 2013 as the most competitive city in the Philippines and the city has been consistent to be top 10 in the record.
3 Forbes 500 billionaires are investing in the downtown area with high rise buildings.
Cagayan de Oro is the gateway to Mindanao. Most well known companies always choose Cagayan as the first location in opening business here in Mindanao. Volkswagen, Starbucks, biggest mall in terms of land area in Mindanao is Limketkai Center, S&R (costco equivalent) etc.
$5k a month!? too expensive coz most people live by $100 a month in CDO.
Incorrect. Bold for you to speak for all Kagay-anons that they only live $100 per month ๐๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Who said $5k month? Not me.
Vagabond Awake ok i type the wrong a month. Still $1k a month is alot of money here for a solo person.
Yuesesdi App I said 'most' not all.
@@thestud1881 I would say only a quarter, not "most" people in CdeO could live comfortably with $100 per month, average residential rent is already $300, you could find lower than that but don't expect a nice place plus water and electric bills. Not to mention during this pandemic, public transport fees have increased because vehicles takes less passenger and they have to pay for those vacant seat for health safety reasons.

I bet that $200 would be $400 now???
Rents were about 20% higher overall in Dumaguete, but we were able to rent our old apartment there for just 5% more when we visited about 6 months ago. But we rent more local style rather than trying to recreate western lifestyle overseas.
You consistently miss details of returning to a country. When you get there, details of money, public restrooms, internal traveling restrooms. Can you tell I may want to poop? How far is the nearest restroom? How do you find one?
When you say mountains? How high? Snakes? Nasty bugs? Death by cute bug? Snake? Keeping an animal, dog, cat, bringing animal into a country? Interview an expat on these if you donโt have personal knowledge.
Thank you for your constructive criticism Richard Rossiter. That is how we get better. And thanks for watching our videos and commenting. Commenting, liking, or subscribing causes UA-cam to pay us more. So thank you for giving us a raise. Best, Dan
