Thank you for your support and thank you for watching
Except from 2020 to 2022 you could not even go outside your house, especially if senior citizen. Remember Asian countries are authoritarian and the government has absolute authority. This will come back again. Mark my word.
I like it when you talk a lot about positive things & only few negative things. That rent is VERY cheap! I saw rubbishes in a very well known , very developed city in the World. Im glad you like PH. Thank you 🙏
I've been to a third of the countries on the planet and without and doubt or hesitation I would say that Filipinos are the happiest culture that there is. Nice place, and a great views.
Try to visit our place in Iloilo City you gonna amaze the spirit of people here vesy accomodating and free wifi in cafe house .You gonna love our place so much.
I believed the guy is very accomplished!👍
True 👍
Man, I’m not even comfortable looking at them giant spiders on video! The Filipinos relationship with nature is admirable for sure.
That large spider is not venomous.
Bro that Spider killed me haha
We love lizards too. There's a saying if they make sound at 6pm it means they are praying the Angelus.
Supper interview Alex,stay safe hope to meet you this year when I move over there my friend.
Thank you for watching and your support. Welcome to a great chapter of your life. Let me know when you’ll be here
Agreed on the time frustration he mentioned. Get so frustrated waiting in line at a store which has 1 cashier working while 6 other staff loiter and chat by the entrance.
I can relate to your experiences. You hire builders in the Philippines and they demand high hourly rate but then i had to hire workers now to redo their jobs. Waste of time, money and materials. They even steal paints, transferred to a small mineral water bottle and tools I bought including vegetables planted in my land. Makarma sana!! Sad!!
He got lucky in finding a Landlord willing to work with him in getting a Large house in that area for $500 as he then turns around and rents it out AirBnB for $100 a night as he could easily stay in a Nice hotel downtown and only pay $25 or rent it for less then a week and that pays his expenses so if he rents it more then that he travels for free.
Don't forget the 5/6 G he put into it that the landlord would not pay for
You’re comparing apples to oranges, you are in the province, try to go to BGC ,Makati or even Metro Cebu. BGC is nicer than Sta. Clarita and LA. And Russia, I was pickpocketed by people who were in a hurry in a major tourist area. I would rather be in the Philippines than in Russia or Israel.
I find the clip of the woman trying to catch the spider worthy of it's own show. Her being the star⭐
Why do you say the Philippines chose you, that's kind of condescending. You chose the Philippines because: it's cheaper to live here; you got a tolerant owner of the house; etc, etc. That's BS; foreigners choose the Philippines because their lives are better there, just admit it, duh!!
Thats a beautiful house
I agree with you
Welcome to our Humble Homeland🇵🇭
Thank you for your hospitality
This was a great interview and a great video.
The clip where the filipina was chasing the spider out of the house then letting it crawl on her arm creeped me out! I was screaming kill it, kill it! while she was trying to scoop it up in the house.
I too like the outside insects to remain outside. Lol.
Thank you for sharing.....
Thank you for watching. This trick made my Filipina wife. I also can’t do it by myself lol
You have mentioned about the wifi i suggest get a star link. I lived in an island in rhe philippines and the connection is awesome. Monthly payment around 50 dollars but you have to pay for the equipment which is less than 300 dollars but it is worthy.
LOL! $5,000 USD is about 3 months rent in the US without the resort-like living standards that he's experiencing in the Philippines. I'd gladly spend more than that if I could live a comfortable life in a beachfront property in paradise.
I can resonate with him. Home is where your heart is. I was born and raised in the Phils but lived in the UK longer than I have in the Phils. I also lived in Spain and Germany. I am ME....not a Filipino or British. I still have the Filipino in me in terms of being friendly, hospitable, kind, cheerful, caring....among other things, but then those traits are human traits anywhere in the world. It's just more ingrained or noticeable with Filipinos, in my opinion.😊
I can't commit to retiring and living in the Philippines until after 2028 or so, as they will return to those insane lockdowns again interim and perhaps mandatory needles.
Lived in Philippines from 1990 to 2020. Just returned from a 1 month visit to Dipolog and Dumaguete areas. Had visited Dumaguete and Siquijor many times since 1991 back when there were no hotels, no vehicles and not even any electricity on the entire Siquijor island.
He mande it his own kingdom very beautiful western style
It's good to know that he feels comfortable living in our beloved country Philippines. Welcome to our country, I hope you enjoy staying here. Just be careful and don't trust too much. Sometimes people take advantage of you when you are too nice to them. In every country there's bad and good people. You seems very honest and good man and very respectful. Just be careful and take care always. Wish I have the chance to visit your place one day, I love the surroundings with so much plants around.
That's a beautiful house, great spot too. He did a great job upgrading it. Would he mind sharing that trustworthy, reliable, competent guy's info? Guys like that are so hard to find.
Nice interview, genuine guy. They only non-positive thing is short sided - live for now thing. That works until the "tomorrow" shows up. I seeing a lot more younger guys showing up on these channels. I understand work, jobs, bosses, time lost to work, sucks. They are forgetting, or choosing to ignore, the fact that your key earning years are that 30s to 60s. You are valued, you make bank. I see dudes in their late 50s and 60s now that are having to go back to full time real job work and it SUCKS. They can't get in at the level they were and certainly not at the level they would be had they stayed in the game. They are now getting pennies on the dollar for what they would have got had they trudged through a few more years.
@shawn2380-- I've learned that it's a balance. My mother worked hard to have a nice retirement, but she died a couple of months prior to retirement.
Sometimes it's hard to quantify what it all means. I have run my own business for decades working long hours (52 now). For 5 years from 2017-2022 I did 85 hour work weeks and made great money...paid off my house, have no other debt, and big $ in savings. The result was alienating my wife of 23 years and my children...so now I am freshly divorced (losing half the big house I paid 100% of) and none of my 5 kids talk to me anymore.
Everything I did was for 'tomorrow', but somehow lost focus of 'today' and it cost me all that truly mattered.
Great video 😊 I am from Norway lives in Puerto princessa Palawan 😎
Thank you, I was in Puerto Princessa last year 😊
@Alex_Kosh, good interview. We have been watching you from the start and you seem more comfortable and fluid, better and better, good interview.
Thank you, Ray, for your kind words. I think confidence comes with improving my English skills
His home.. Planet Earth Excellent interview Alex
Thank you for watching and your support
Thanks for staying here
Thank you for watching
I'm a Filipino who's been in the US over 40 years and when I vacationed, I actually find it more expensive in Dumaguete to fill my gas tank. The electricity there is also more expensive than here in the US. Yes, the Filipino food is cheaper there but the American foods there are way overpriced. As always, service everywhere is very slow and the slowest is processing papers with the government sectors like making changes on birth certificates.. I went to different beaches (Dumahuete, Cebu, Palawan) and also sad to see that some tourists like Koreans just leave their garbage (including their baby's diaper) on the table and expect Filipino waiters to clean after them. I know that Western foreigners will not do that as they are more aware of the environment and have more respect to people. The Filipinos too, should really learn on how to keep their environment clean.
Thank you for your additional information. Yes littering is a problem all over the world. And it's especially painful to see it around such a beautiful nature
I agree with your comment. Neg Or is my home island too but I've been here in Australia for 14 years. It's very sad to see all the litters on the streets in the Philippines. I wish people will learn how to dispose their garbage properly.
Filipinos don't like long lines. Many times they don't have a choice. Most government services are inefficient.
Thank you for your support and thanks for watching
@Alexkosh -- Historically, countries that have 4 seasons with short days and harsh winters, the people tend to have "hunter gatherer" type mentality. Chores that need to be done before the winter sets in, are done in a timely manner, because their survival depends on it. In the Philippines and other countries that don't have harsh winters, time management is much more lax. In fact, because excess heat can cause illness, the people conserve their energy or risk getting sick. Of course, now-a- days we can buy supplies out of season in an emergency, but it takes more money to do that. And not everyone can afford to live that way, all the time.
It make sense
Too bad he has a crazy neighbor. Cool house though
He's going to get rid of him soon
@@Alex_Kosh I'm talking about the guy that interviews people all day
I’ve been warned about that guy, reputation precedes him😮
Cannot buy a house for 400,000 Php. The interviewer js wrong.
Thank you for your feedback. In the context of buying a nice house or the house you might like, of course, you can't do it. But for local people in the province, it's possible to buy a native house.
Nice place. So peaceful. Thank you for sharing 👏👏
Thank you for watching 😊
This is extraordinary. The gentleman featured in your video has the exact setup that I have been searching for. I am an American in search of a higher end, private, unfurnished waterfront home for long-term rent where I can sublet it via AirBNB when I travel (3 months+ a year). If there is anyway for me to contact him, it would be greatly appreciated as I would love to pick his brain. Thanks. -Doug
I could say even where I live for almost 20 yrs here in London rubbish is a typical problem.
Unfortunately this problem is all over the world. We live in one home, on one planet and we should care about it
I'm curious, how much would someone need to live like this? I would love to live in a place like this on the beach.
I recommend Starlink by Elon Musk.
Good recommendation 👍
When I was in Philippines I hired part time house keeper, twice a week
It looks really nice the area and the house. Where is it and do Maggette
Thank you, it’s in Bacong, next small city from Dumaguete
He was born in Israel..maybe he can find some israel friends around...y not !!!! GODBLESS
That’s a nice house after the renovations.
Thank you for watching
That’s a nice Villa as Airbnb 🤩
I agree with you 🙂
🌴🌴< < < VERY INTERESTING STORY ALEX. THANKS FOR SHARING. HOPE YOU AND GEN ARE DOING WELL. LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT VIDEO. TAKE CARE MY FRIEND. > > > 🌴🌴
Thank you Jack for your support. She's close to a due date and we're excited to welcome our little Trixie ☺️
Awesome 👌 interview and perspective from a foreigner.
Thank you for watching and your support
Wow !! Good to see and hear about your life in the Philippines. Israel and Philippines are brothe rr hood
i wonder if inefficiency and waiting in queues is more common in the Visayas than in Luzon. i don't like wasting time but i don't often feel that frustrated up here in NCR or in Northern Luzon
Because Filipinos are accustomed to a difficult life, one could argue that they are mentally tough. When compared to other races, Filipinos are incredibly patient. Have you ever seen a race that is troubled yet still manages to smile? The country's development may be impacted by the relaxed nature of Filipino culture, but ultimately, Filipinos lead the world in fortifying their will. That's why in the USA there are many people who commit suicide because the pace of life is so fast, and things are so expensive that they are almost chasing life. They appear to be very mature. They appear extremely mature, even though they are just in their late 20s or early 30s. Lord truly is an expert at striking a balance.
So true
Ya not putting any money into someone else’s house like that. Canadian got lucky
The waters is crystal clear.
Yes it's a nice area
Good Job Alex
Thank you, Danny ☺️
Hi Alex! Do you have a contact for Roy? Planning to visit the Phil soon and would like to stay at his BNB. Thanks.
Hi you can chat with him on an Airbnb using the link in the description. Usually he responds very promptly
Viva Istrael 🎉,Filipinos love Istrael .
Filipinos are such a friendly nation
Love the video keep up the good work
Thank you for your support
Ok....a few things. I can't imagine this guy would be a real digital nomad because if he was and he had to rely on working online for his income he wouldn't live where he's living because internet is horrible out there. It's spotty and when it rains the internet may go out and the power in goes out not to mention the fact that the Philippines is getting a lot more expensive but these are things nobody seems to mention
He just shared his story; he wasn't trying to prove anything. He doesn't have problems with the internet there. Only one time in a half year, since he had this apartment, there wasn't a connection. It's true that there could be power outages, and for that case, he has a portable power source (cost for $50) to plug in the router. Starlink is available in the Philippines, which can solve all issues, even in remote places. And you're right that the Philippines is getting more expensive, as are other countries like the US and EU.
Thanks for choosing our country Philippines you want to stay here
Thank you for your support and thanks for watching
Renting in the phil’s can be very troublesome, it’s just not the same as the west with tenanted rights and the standard of housing is really poor generally. The attitude referenced about the owner …”why do that .” This is one reason why I’m going to build so I can build to western standards. Good luck to the guy.
Thank you for watching and your opinion. Are you building in Dumaguete area?
@@Alex_Kosh No subic freeport zone.
@@Eric-qm5xw ok I wish you to build your dream house there
He doesn't seem on the up and up
Hook me up. I’m American pinay looking to rent there while I search for a land. Is he renting a room for a month lol
No but you can rent the whole place through airbnb if it's available on your dates
My electric in southern florida is less then $200.mth.
Thank you for sharing
Lock up Mark Thornton
Thank you for watching
Go to big city so you can experience things what you missed
Thanks for watching and for your support.
'Promo SM'
Currently making 6 figures and my wife finds a way to spend all of it., mostly on things we do not need. We live paycheck to paycheck and I’m absolutely sick of it. Moving abroad after retirement is looking like a dream.
I'm sorry to hear that. It must be tough to see when your time, energy and efforts are wasted.
Sorry about that. Tell your wife to work and not spend your money. Everybody in the US works. Most Filipinas likes to depend, which is bad part of the culture and that should change.
Six figures as in 100k is becoming minimum wage is some metropolis, the cost of living is so high. But it helps if the two of you agree on a budget. Otherwise maybe convince her to invest in an asset, like a house with a mortgage then when you get paid, there will be something urgent to do with the money, ie paying down that mortgage. And maybe over max up on those retirement funds,.ie the point being to reduce 'disposable income' cause it is easy or tempting to spend when one has cash sitting around
My Son has same as you do. Moving abroad will not change spending habits!
Tell your wife you got a good deal on a nipa hut in the mountains in the Philippines, and get ready to move.
"it sucked you in, yeah?" lol
Lol
Its actually Dumbarse agetti
Didn't get you
Hello nice interview aatching and lidtening here from the City of Love Iloilo Cify
For $7000 it's totally worth it.
I agree with you
Wow that was a huge spider. The woman chasing it was kind enough to let it go outside the house, they eat mosquitoes and flies.
Nice choice, Dumaguete ❤
Thank you for watching 🙂
Visit Subic Bay and Clark in Angeles city.
Great interview, seems like a nice guy, he did a good job it seems on the house.
❤❤❤love your simple house
Thank you Cecilroldan
Hahah He almost choked on water when you asked him if he will build a house there. One thing I'm curious about is if there is so little stress there, do the people have less chronic disease? I wander how stress relates to getting an illness.
Yeah it was funny. According to your question I think it would be hard to find reliable data
Low stress but Filipino diet heavy in sugar and carbs is a reason the Philippines leads SE Asia in diabetes and heart disease.
@@PMLynch you can always cook by yourself or eat in restaurants
@@PMLynch include the fatty lechons too.
It is not less stress for locals. Only foreigners who have enough retirement money and stay out the drama. For the rest, it is pretty much like anywhere else. In big cities like Manila, poor people stress about daily living, rich people stress about more money and more power. In small cities and particularly rural areas, yes there is less stress, but as I said u guess that's the case for most rural areas around the world.
I hate mosquito 😅
Welcome to the club buddy 😉
He's living the SexPat life!
Careful what you saying😡😡😡
How did you come to this conclusion from the interview?
Great interview. Your friend has a great deal hopefully he can lock-in $500/mo. long term.
What town is this?
Thank you, it’s in Bacong
How much is the monthly rental that he is paying to the Canadian landlord? Good that the landlord allowed him to sublease this house? I am curious to know how much is the monthly rental of this house if rented through AirBNB. I might be interested to rent it when I go back to Dumaguete for my next holiday.
All your questions he answered in the video. The initial deal was $500 per month and he made renovations of the whole house. Availability and price you can check using link from the description
Malibu, Huntington & Newport beach is now very expensive if the rental property is near the beach. High speed wifi is available in BGC in metro Manila and IT park and business park in Cebu City.
But Manila and Cebu are totally different places to live in
Its not the poorest country
He didn't say that it's the poorest country
I like your beautiful rest house. Maybe I can apply for vacation. Why not buy also a house in Manila or in Quezon City where I can refer to you my Aunt best friend sell a house and lot in Cainta. I appreciate your hard work you spent and grew in Israel and in the US. By the way, do you have your own Family like sons and daughters.
You can check the Airbnb link from the description
It all sounded great until u mentioned covered in black mold, yet u still put more money into it?? Hope u are staying healthy there, that's a new one.
Now there's no mold in the house
Hey, reconsider to think that is it proper to use the word "poor" ? no offense but
West and westerner are the real poor people....they measured all by "material", but actually it is just an earthly thing, it will just fade away as time past by..I thought they are "poorer" being a real people... In my opinion Filipinos are rich because they have eyes and soul to tell you that you are truly a human being with a ❤....peace 🎉 35:16
This guy is picky guy he live philippines bcoz cheap thing’s especially rent😅
Sir should have his own vlog.His good .
He should go to BGC,where the rich live,24/7 security.A safe place.
It's totally different place
❤❤❤❤your cute
He is👍
How much is the monthly rent?
Yes the internet connection sucks😂..
Seems this guy is arrogant!
In person, he's very friendly and down to earth.
Don't judge a person kung hindi mo sya kilala.
How’s he arrogant ?
He is very intelligent
I don't see that at all.
You my enjoy things becuse it's all cheap as you think, but remember, you are living in a Countryside, in rural area.
Maybe you should try spend sometime in a big city like Manila ,Cebu etc, and try to rent as much as big house where you are now. Its a diffrent thing.
What's the links to Roy airbnb

However some foreigners found the way how to do it
@@Alex_Kosh Can they get their name in land title thou? . Some people used corporation which is very risky coz if something is wrong with that corporation you will be in big trouble.
Hello, could you please share what type of online work this digital nomad is doing?
