I love the great info Dan and Qiang but I have to say I always laugh watching how much you both enjoy eating! I am a life member and enjoy downloading the great reports you write on each place you visit. Incredibly valuable and saves so much time in doing research online. Many Thx!
I think Tagaytay is the most sensible place to retire in the world. I figure around $2000-$2500 for me, even tough I'm comfortable in something cheap, and tiny? Beer, girls, restaurants, ect...........
Very nice and interesting video. I appreciate that you are constantly improving the format: using a drone, nice close ups of both you (better way to communicate your emotions to what you see and do) and more participation of Qiang ( more fluent and comfortable speaking English). Congratulations!
Wow tagay tay so nice place and view tagaytay bolalo so delicious now u moving in tagay tay manila Philippines god bless enjoy your travel in the Philippine stay safe I'm waching from Riyadh Saudi
Wow...:nice you made it to Tagaytay in Cavite Province 🇵🇭 TA-GUY-TAY not Tageytey. There are plenty of vegetarian dishes you can have like ginatang kalabasa ( squash with coconut milk), ginatang langka ( green jackfruit with coconut milk), pinakbet ( okra,bitter melon, eggplant, string beans n squash usually with shrimp paste but they can cook it without it), adobong talong ( fried eggplant with garlic, soy sauce n vinegar). There are so much more. Sorry to bombard with you with all these vegetarian dishes. Btw..:Qiang’s short bangs looks good on her. You2 looks like you’re having a good time in the 🇵🇭 Take care.
1000$ a month for two people food, accommodation, utilities and transpo is slightly above middle class living in the philippines. In fact, You can get a decent fully furnished studio airbnb condo that includes ulitlies, wifi and weekly cleaning service for 300$ a month so you have 700$ for foods and transpo. 100$ a month for food per person is considered decent.
Thank you for your cost of living numbers Niki Ta! Have a great day! Dan Have you seen our UA-cam country playlists yet? ua-cam.com/users/VagabondAwakeplaylists
You made a nice video view of Tagaytay with your drone or aerial view shots! The rent is a bit higher, you can still find a budget priced house/room for rent in the non-commercial area.
Hello Renz Ramientos, We discuss that in the Tagaytay retire cheap report. All of our videos have a webpage that has the information discussed in that video so you don't have to take notes. The link to that web page for this video is the first link in the description below this video. In case you don't know how to find the link, here is a UA-cam video teaching how: ua-cam.com/video/p4bP4xd7J4s/v-deo.html Most of our videos have multiple links to important information that will help you save time and money. It is our way of thanking you for watching our videos. So, ... thank you, Dan
Nice video Dan. Tagaytay is nice and a place we had considered but eventually chose the City of San Fernando about an hour north of Manila. They say our province (Pampanga) is the culinary capital of the Philippines and I don't think we could have chosen a better location to live. We are kind of central and not that far from places like Subic Bay, Zambales, Baguio, ... and a little further a place I've always wanted to visit, ... Ilocos Norte with Saud Beach as well as the Blue Lagoon. As an afterthought check my last few videos if you would like to see a bit about our home at San Fernando.
@@timsretirementjourney8323 ... man,you picked the right area too,cuz once they've done building clark green city you aren't far from it ....... clark green city is like bgc,but they said it's much bigger .....
Dan your already in a movie ,it's called Vagabond Awake and Qiang I really think your hair looks much nicer with a short fringe like it a lot as it shows the full beauty of your face ☺seriously it looks great .
Your right Dan, that hot pot made for some interesting shots... So unusual... Chung could barely fit... The drone work was great, it really showed off the spectacular lake view... Living in New York City, I seen that hair cut on many models... Lets face it, the designers want to show off their latest designs, they don't want to compete with the models beauty, so they choose the model with the most plain Jane look, the hair style helps with that imagery... Sorry Chung obviously you experienced this problem before in your previous career... About your budget, seems you two could just about live anywhere... You are survivalist on a global scale... We the public could learn many ways to stretch one's budget... That's a good thing...
Great video when you passed by all those big boiling pots the old Hope and Crosby road movies flashed in my head. Your apartment looked nice. When you said this is where the beef is your grandma from the old Wendy’s commercial flashed in my head. Cheers😊
Phils. has an affordable cost of living (if you live like the locals, wise budgeting on food, health care, transportation & utilities), 200-300$ monthly rent for a fully furnished apartment or condo as your homebase in Las Pinas, Metro Manila with a minimum contract of 3 mos and in Alabang Muntinlupa, M.M. for a minimum contract of 6 mos. take note: the longer you stay then you will get a better deal.

Bag of beans is a delicious place to eat! My filipina wife and I have been to Tagaytay twice and had bad luck there for some reason. We stayed at Crosswinds Resorts and our second trip we stayed at View Park hotel.Both hotels are haunted believe it or not. My wife and I both didn’t feel well during our stays and had a very eerie feeling with strange things happening during both our trips. Beautiful views in Tagaytay but weekends there are very crowded with locals, highly recommend staying thru the weekdays. Our last trip there Taal valcano erupted a week after our stay so living there could be a little dangerous to say the least.

@@RK-kj8di Good. It's a good location and as @Vagabond Awake already mentioned, you are a lucky guy :) I am also married to Filipina and we may retire in her country one day too, so who knows, maybe we become neighbours :D
Well said winx mc! Thanks for adding value to the community. Dan Have you seen our UA-cam country playlists yet? ua-cam.com/users/VagabondAwakeplaylists
My GF and I stayed there in 2019 for 5 days. We rented a condo overlooking Taal Lake close to the Amusement Park. The weather was nice but still alittle hot and the view over the lake was fantastic. However where we stayed there was not much to do and became boring quickly. About 4 months later the Taale Lake Volcanoe erupted killing many people and livestock. Because of the active volcano I would not want to live there myself but many people do. It was a beautiful place when visited but I did not know how deadly it could be until later.
39 people to be exact. I was also there a week before it erupted so your right it’s a little boring there and retiring there could be risky because they are predicting more to come.Great place for short trip but not to retire.
@@kirbylogan2401 people’ still wanna buy those expensive houses and they don’t think that their hard earned money could disappear just like that. I don’t even know if they sell house insurance in the 🇵🇭?
Well what's boring to you might not be boring to someone else, I like to live in nature in a nice quiet area, as far as the volcano I don't think you would have a problem unless you were actually very close to it. If I remember correctly when I was there it was an actual island in the middle of the lake.

Great question Mike Lambert, I have one report where I explain what I do about health care and another where I show you how I search for health insurance. What I do about health care: vagabondbuddha.com/two-biggest-risks-of-retiring-early-overseas/ Report where I search for health insurance: vagabondbuddha.com/best-health-insurance-for-ex-pats-in-philippines/ By the way, once you search for health care you will start seeing more offers for health insurance and travelers insurance when you are online. Health insurance is one of the most dynamic or changing industries in the travel world because so many people around the world are deciding to live or retire outside their home country. So do a search every year before you renew to make sure you have the best available for your personal circumstances because new ones come out every few months. Thanks for asking so I could answer this for many people! Dan
@@VagabondAwake Thank you very much Dan. Very illuminating. Those quotes look far more reasonable than what I was quoted by Blue Cross in Manila a few years ago!

Tagaytay = "Ta - gai - tai." One of my favorite places in the Philippines. "Bueller?" "Bueller?" "Bueller?" ..... (From "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," a CLASSIC. One of my favorite movies back in the 80s. John Hughes, R.I.P.) ..... Nice haircut, btw. IMPORTANT REMINDER: Although Tagaytay is an elevated area, with its very cool climate, it is very nearby Taal Volcano. Taal is one of the most active volcanoes in the World. All you expats might want to consider THAT, first, before making a final decision to actually live in Tagaytay or not.
You would think with all his travels he would use proper pronunciation when making a video to be taken seriously. And you are correct about the volcano it is extremely active.
Hey guys, ive been following you for a while, and i must say your vlogs are very informative in terms of living expense in a certain area. In terms.of leisure, i enjoy your pace, very relaxed, and youre not expecting too much in the places youve been visiting, which is the right way to approach travelling. Its less disappointing and more enjoying! Great job guys !
You can't believe a word Qiang says!!!! She is too sweet to ever say a bad word about anything!!! She is also very beautiful, smart, fun and so nice with a great personality!!

Beef marrow is one of the best taste there is. Just like silk in texture and the finest steak in flavor! That made me drool! 🤤 Travel to Manilla would be required at least 4 times a month for me. No need for alcohol, but entertainment cost would likely be higher, and I would prefer a western style apartment, so I should be able to manage everything for $2000 per month. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for posting this video. I had been curious about Tagaytay for quite a while. The climate there is supposed to be almost perfect. I was wondering about prices, your video answers many of my questions.

That’s Wind Residences. Close to two big grocery stores. There’s a Pizza Hut at the ground floor of a Tower 3. You won’t go hungry there. There also 2 massage/spa shops close by.
Dude I got a text yesterday from an American in philippines He told me that gasoline is now 88 pesos per liter That's 6.70 us dollars per us gallon That's a days salary for many Filipinos! I'll stay where I'm at $2.60 a gallon for 92 octane
We have an AIRBNB there, a condo and our own house is being built this year. It's a delightful place to retire as it has everything you need, including the relatively cooler climate. IMO it's getting busier and busier and at weekends the roads a re-routed to a one way system. At the weekends the tourists from Metro Manila flood in so do your business during the week. We're told that even if Taal Volcano blows the inconvenience would be weeks not years but the jury is out on that one ! lol

Hello again..its nice to see you strollin around tagaytay..the advantage of Qiang is her asian palate..thats why she can appreciate foods in the philippines although some are really not that healthy but very delicious..like the marrow she likes it.haha its better with fish or soy sauce and calamansi( local lemon ) and some chilies…keep vloggin guys..😋🙂🍻 By the way dont worry about your haircut Qiang..the bangs looks good on you! Besides its very asian style haha enjoy!😊
Thanks Dan and Qiang for appreciating our country…and also by promoting the beauty of it! Hope to see more of you here in the PH Islands… stay happy and have more fun guys!🙌😉🏝🍻
Have you guys explored a place called Antipolo City? It's a city in the mountains like Tagatay City, but very near the (eastern?) boundary of the Metro Manila area.
Qiang is so funny, she reminds me of many Malaysian friends I have known over the years (guys and gals) who are very frugal. I can relate… as a kiam siap ang moh!
It looked like the apartment that you were staying in had everything you need. You say that a western style apartment would cost more. Can you tell me what a western style apartment would have that your apartment doesn't? Thanks.
Hi Dan Tagaytay is very Maganda but that area can be very expensive..our house is only like 15 minutes away in silang cavite..also you pronounce Tagaytay like a foreigner 🤣🤣🤣
Ah boy, that was a terrible pronunciation of Tagaytay. 😂 Love your videos nonetheless. Living vicariously through your traveling videos, keep them coming!

Health insurance is one of the most dynamic or changing industries in the travel world because so many people around the world are deciding to live or retire outside their home country. So do a search every year before you renew to make sure you have the best available for your personal circumstances because new ones come out every few months. Thanks for asking so I could answer this for many people! Dan
@@VagabondAwake Thank you very much Dan. Very illuminating. Those quotes look far more reasonable than what I was quoted by Blue Cross in Manila a few years ago!
1/3 0f food budget is allocated on alcohol……laying on a mat under a tree in the picnic groove with a cooler on tote filled with ice cold cervezas on a sunny day.
I’ve been waiting for this video! Thank you :) You both look so refreshed and happy, the Philippines looks good on both of you. Do you see many bookstores and/or libraries in the Philippines?
Thank you so much Lori ❤😊
Yeahp… Philippines has a lot of bookstores every mall has the famous NATIONAL BOOKSTORE I’m the Philippines 🇵🇭 ;0)

You look beautiful inside and out!

Tagaytay = "Ta - gai - tai." One of my favorite places in the Philippines. "Bueller?" "Bueller?" "Bueller?" ..... (From "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," a CLASSIC. One of my favorite movies back in the 80s. John Hughes, R.I.P.) ..... Nice haircut, btw. IMPORTANT REMINDER: Although Tagaytay is an elevated area, with its very cool climate, it is very nearby Taal Volcano. Taal is one of the most active volcanoes in the World. All you expats might want to consider THAT, first, before making a final decision to actually live in Tagaytay or not.
You would think with all his travels he would use proper pronunciation when making a video to be taken seriously. And you are correct about the volcano it is extremely active.
@@Falconlibrary It's not "Tu," but "Ta."
@@Falconlibrary My real name is Adam but some Pinoys call me "A-damn" doesn't make it right.
@@10soft2 Never did understand people who logged onto the Internet just to argue with other folks. Guess I never will.
@@Spy359 I'll remove my remark and unsubscribe from the channel. Sorry to have bothered you.
Looks pretty nice, especially the cooler weather
Hey guys, ive been following you for a while, and i must say your vlogs are very informative in terms of living expense in a certain area. In terms.of leisure, i enjoy your pace, very relaxed, and youre not expecting too much in the places youve been visiting, which is the right way to approach travelling. Its less disappointing and more enjoying!
Great job guys !
Great suggestion!
You can't believe a word Qiang says!!!! She is too sweet to ever say a bad word about anything!!! She is also very beautiful, smart, fun and so nice with a great personality!!
Thank you Needfulldzithings! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan

Beef marrow is one of the best taste there is. Just like silk in texture and the finest steak in flavor! That made me drool! 🤤
Travel to Manilla would be required at least 4 times a month for me. No need for alcohol, but entertainment cost would likely be higher, and I would prefer a western style apartment, so I should be able to manage everything for $2000 per month.
Thanks for the info!
Great video.
Pretty place in tagaytay 👍👍
Qiang- even if you didn’t have any hair, you would still look fabulous darling!
You are so lovely Pamela ❤😊
Thanks for posting this video. I had been curious about Tagaytay for quite a while. The climate there is supposed to be almost perfect. I was wondering about prices, your video answers many of my questions.
Thank you kevin reist! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan

its very cold in tagaytay in the month of december to february
Hi Ahvic Remulla, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Only time will tell. Best, Dan
You might consider renting atbsm wind, with over looking view of taal Volcano
Hey Rose Brown, thanks for sharing this tip with us. I appreciate these kinds of ideas. Thanks for commenting too. When people comment, our videos are suggested to more people. So thank you so much! Best, Dan
That’s Wind Residences. Close to two big grocery stores. There’s a Pizza Hut at the ground floor of a Tower 3. You won’t go hungry there. There also 2 massage/spa shops close by.
You are both great and very wonderful people.
I can't wait to get back home and visit my niece in Tagaytay.
Dude
I got a text yesterday from an American in philippines
He told me that gasoline is now 88 pesos per liter
That's 6.70 us dollars per us gallon
That's a days salary for many Filipinos!
I'll stay where I'm at $2.60 a gallon for 92 octane
ok. Thanks for watching.
Only been there to dine at Jerry's with my family from Carmona but it would be definitely one of my choices to retire
We loved it GT.
Have you had any thoughts of taking a trip around Mindoro? Road less traveled there, but some beautiful scenery!
Of course. Stay tuned.
Is banana flower that part that tastes exactly like chicken meat?
It didn't taste like chicken to me? Maybe it was spiced differently.
We have an AIRBNB there, a condo and our own house is being built this year. It's a delightful place to retire as it has everything you need, including the relatively cooler climate. IMO it's getting busier and busier and at weekends the roads a re-routed to a one way system. At the weekends the tourists from Metro Manila flood in so do your business during the week. We're told that even if Taal Volcano blows the inconvenience would be weeks not years but the jury is out on that one ! lol

Chang wears different dresses and skirts on each episode. Does she buy new clothes and then give them away when she leaves a country? Or she keeps them all and mail it home? Love her wrap around skirt on this episode!

Besides its very asian style haha enjoy!😊
Hi Victor Alcantara, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Best, Dan
Thanks Dan and Qiang for appreciating our country…and also by promoting the beauty of it! Hope to see more of you here in the PH Islands… stay happy and have more fun guys!🙌😉🏝🍻
Beautiful House in tagaytay 👍👍
lol. dan & qiang soup special today.
Have you guys explored a place called Antipolo City? It's a city in the mountains like Tagatay City, but very near the (eastern?) boundary of the Metro Manila area.
Qiang is so funny, she reminds me of many Malaysian friends I have known over the years (guys and gals) who are very frugal. I can relate… as a kiam siap ang moh!
Sir , Mam would you like to visit Tagaytay Highland u will love it there.
Maybe one day!
Tagaytay (Ta-Guy-Tie) looks awesome. Dan, I thought you saw a Ferrari that’s why you were saying “Ferris Bueller”😂. Stay and safe and have fun🙏🏼
I loved that movie Gil.
@@VagabondAwake Ditto.
It looked like the apartment that you were staying in had everything you need. You say that a western style apartment would cost more. Can you tell me what a western style apartment would have that your apartment doesn't? Thanks.
The place we stayed was pretty much western style, just a little dated. :-)
Not Bad !!!
Nice view for sure.
Wow… beef bulalo…impressive..
Hi Dan Tagaytay is very Maganda but that area can be very expensive..our house is only like 15 minutes away in silang cavite..also you pronounce Tagaytay like a foreigner 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, true
Great video! How does the temp and humidity compare with Baguio?
Ah boy, that was a terrible pronunciation of Tagaytay. 😂
Love your videos nonetheless. Living vicariously through your traveling videos, keep them coming!
That's ok Ana, You come here in the US, they would not care about your pronunciation and grammar.
Ana, thank you for being part of our community :-) Dan
