I moved to KL after 14 months in the Philippines. Could no longer take the lack of sidewalks, pollution, internet not working in the middle of the day, brownouts and deep fried food on every corner.. Once you start travelling around you realise that Philippines is fourth world compared to most places and you're still paying the same.
@@jeffreyvlogofficial781 I'm talking about what is easily accessible. There is no food culture to speak of. Nothing but deep fried food in high temperature seed oils. Even at the grocery or convenience store. Processed, oil, and sugar. Very limited produce selection at the grocery store and what you can find is expensive and not good quality. Travel a bit more and you will realise that anywhere else in Latin America and Southeast Asia you will have healthier and for less. Let's face it we all go to the Philippines for the dating and women.
@@jeffreyvlogofficial781 why do you think women from Bali Thailand and Malaysia in their 20s all have flat stomachs? Now look at the Philippines young women more than 90% of them have love handles. Even the ones that "eat healthy" and exercise. Do you think their Pacific Islander genetics or any different, or is it the food quality? Start looking at the world holistically and critically and understanding why things are the way they are.
I agree. I found this when living out on the islands, which is why I moved to Manila - never been bored there, but it has its faults, but you need to pick the right area. Weekends down in Batangas are enough for ocean/diving/island fix...
A good sized city that comes to mind which checks some of (if not all) your boxes is Davao City. Near the ocean but also near mountains and air quality is decent (better outside the city). It has a reputation for its public safety, there's an ordinance to combat noisy mufflers on motorbikes and cars, better traffic enforcement, there's been a public works project to bury utility and telecom wiring (reducing spaghetti wires), the airport has flights to Hong Kong, Singapore, and Doha. Its likely cheaper than Cebu but I'm not sure by how much. Fewer expats too. Not sure about the coffee and restaurant culture but there's a couple of good sized malls for your needs. One down side is close proximity to known earthquake activity.
Yeah, good friend of mine who is filipino born and bred told me Davao is where he'd go for his retirement. I take that as a huge positive in its favour.
Hi Guys,,, Having watched your channel for a few years,,, I PREDICT,,, that you will move to Europe,,, cos Paul your an engineer and like to keep busy,,, this will also allow you live a more fulfilling lifestyle,,, Money cause you will be working and have better laws to live by,,, and I suspect a lot less workhours giving more time to be with Mia, and local travelling in your free time...Whatever you choose I wish you both Happiness.
I don't see how you could eat out any country and eat healthy. I cook my own food in the USA and also plan on doing my own cooking in the Philippines. Paul do you do your own cooking? Start listening to some Dr Berg!
I was a holistic Doc before retiring, I love different foods that I can get here in KL but I still do most of my own cooking to avoid seed oils, aluminum/Teflon similar pots and pans and sugar or additives added to restaurant foods. Mia should learn foreign cooking
Please tell me how you manage buying a tender 2 inch ribeye, or Porterhouse?.. Yes, imported from Brazil, frozen and you will pay through the nose, because these are foreigner cuts of meat that Filipinos rarely if ever eat.
Places I never would have considered, but I recently watched videos of, Tagaytay, Bataan ,and Subic Bay. They all were beautiful, not too far away but not too close and the traffic was much less and organized. Can finish that education in the Philippines.
Paul, there are lots of mountains, lakes and waterfalls here (check out Canmore, Banff, Jasper); & nursing schools. And lots of oil & gas, and heavy oil sands operations; the location is Alberta, Canada. (Good restaurants, burgers too!).

Colombia, Panama , Indonesia are all great countries. Colombia has amazing climate and clean air in central part of country. As for a burger, go to BGC , Makati areas. They import excellent beef in those areas. I had an amazing steak at Dusit in Davao City. its a beautiful property. Clean air, check out Baguio , Rizal and Batangas areas.
Always nice to watch one on your videos.I have been spending 6 months per year in Thailand for a while . For the quality and variety of food , the transportation across the country , reliable internet and electricity and the cost of living Thailand has it all But as far as the cool air in the mountain , the safe driving manners , the ease of learning the local language it might be a bit harder to find. I guess that the perfect country does not exist
For the best burger, probably in all of the Philippines, try the restaurant on the sixth floor, Aeon Towers, Davao City. Was there last month, I live in Texas and it was the Best 1/2 pound burger I've had in years! No exaggeration.
@matrices3987 Excuse me? Have you tried the burger there? Or maybe you are an owner of a competitive restaurant? Why would you even say that? Very childish and ignorant.
Paul, at your age, you are at the maximum height of your working intellectual productive years, and the years which will also get you the highest compensation, especially in the very competitive oil engineering market, where top talent draws even7 figures for the best engineers and executives.

Hey Paul, Roxas City and the Beaver bar serves a wonderful burger. Meet up with Mike and Kath from Mike’s Philippines life. Anyway best of wishes to the both of you and Christmas greetings to all.
Southern Europe best place in the world. Culture, food, coasts. But...... cold winters. Philippines so warm all year round, even in the rainy season. Great cheap travel to islands, by air or ferry. Angeles and Clark airport the best place for all amenities.
It basically comes down to a sleepy place like Siquijor or a condo where you can walk to all you need in a polluted city. Peace and action don’t go hand and hand here.
It's a good point. I ended up moving to Manila but having some weekends out on the islands, but you need to find an area in Manila with less pollution. But your observation is the reason we don't live in Philippines all year round...
Go to the Borneo half of Malaysia. Bintulu and Miri are the center of Malaysia's oil and LNG industry, if you still want to work. Gas is cheap and the population density is a fraction of 🇵🇭 . Or spend two years in Spain so Mia can qualify for Spanish Citizenship and passport which is good in more countries than the US.

you can build ur house to a place not center of the typhoons thats the best u need to choose wisely of building ur own house someday i love u guys see u in ur next vlog welcome paul i missed ur vlog
I think most Vloggers if they weren’t vlogging, wouldn’t want anything to do with the Philippines. Some foreigners go in search of a wife. That’s why all the tourists are middle aged men. You don’t see too many foreigner families there on vacation or relocation. Just men seeking a wife. I caution anyone considering retirement in the Philippines to take a quick trip to Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia then you can make an unbiased independent decision without tunnel vision from Vloggers. Good video. Cheers and safe travels.
I like some of the south East Asian countries you mentioned. You won the lottery with Mia :-). Give up work , it’s taking its toll . Forget about Europe , too cold and expensive. The economies there are not doing well.
Dont go to Europe = EU = Mordor! Stay in Asia, there is everything in Manila, from time to time! And do your work in the next 10 years, after you will get older and older, and the motivation to work goes south....
Gio just did vlogs about Iloilo that looked super clean good traffic control with lights and stop signs and I believe I saw there's nursing colleges there also. The area he showed had a lot of new construction and new condos being built. Just a suggestion 😊
@@kennethlewis3575 strange enough during Gio's first visiting days on Iloilo city, together on motorcycle/scooter trip with Maya (in between staying around in Bacolod city) he was lesser enthusiastically impressed by the social community infrastructure-charms of Iloilo city and especially in Bacolod city he then enjoyed pleasant and nice appealing experiences. This is far before 2022's ending. Gio delayed a planned orientation (to Iloilo city that he had announced to be doing soon to viewers and subscribers) visit ever since February and March 2022 onwards because of the start of his intense dating contacts with Maya in April 2022 and after.
Of course he’s already looking seriously at Iloilo, along with buddy Gio whose wife just nuked 🚀 him (which sucks). For the record, I was all over IloIlo in October. It’s been a bit overhyped as the next Holy Grail. It’s still the Philippines. But fewer expats than Duma, for sure, and a nice walkable promenade. So that’s a win.
@columbus7275 she did not drop on the man. That is based on a way off interpretation. After some happenings and inner reorientations HE on his side of the package, just decided on something like that. For whatever reasons. So effectively fully the other way round, from what you still assume. End results tragically enough, fully the same though. After just one year of active marriage only this is quite unusual and uncommon. No position to have desires for.
You sound like a child. Sorry to be harsh but it's true. I understand wanting to stay busy and fulfilled but there's a thousand things you can do for 'work' beside a job in oil and gas. Volunteer, teach english, meetup groups, tour guide, etc. Nursing will keep Mia busy for a while but women who don't have children will focus all their energy on the husband and will drive you crazy over time.
Did you say that you wear, like, a respirator while driving in your car for health reasons? Seriously? Malaysia isnt a city. KL is a city. Look at Langkawi.
Sounds like she needs her school finished.Stay put until that is done you are retired learn to relax and you will find where you are is retirement...stop chasing your hat in the wind.
stay in the philippines ...let your wife finish school in PH ...I live in BGC...they got great western style restaurants ( Shake shack if you like burgers ). Air quality is good here too as they do not allow jeepneys
Same issues you complained about before leaving. Probably only worse. If I had the cash like you do absent all else I'd travel the world. Slow travel mind you.
I suggest you stop talking now...and guys you need more snuggle time. I'm in the mountains in the Subic freeport zone. Plenty of law enforcement, security guards and western amenities. But the Yacht club membership fee is high 😅. Good luck
Good food in Spain ? Well unless you like Frozen stuff fried with oil, seasoned with oil, with a last touch of oil, there's nothing really elaborate. They only have interesting charcuterie. Spain IS definitely not a good good country...
Paul, try visiting BGC, the clean air, traffic much better, and nowhere near costs many would expect.Great infrastructure, good restaurants, low crime, and great access to quality products.😊😊😊
Unbelievable traffic noisy over there, also in close surrounds areas very near to BGC, but actually Makati or other city part close on Bonifacio global city. This became clear through following on live vlogging release of longer length by female vlogger Rubeauti who takes long walks now and then along walkway pavements alongside the roads. (She lives, works-studies over there! ) There is also a constant heavy roaring high rise building noise buzz coming from the tech installations of the high rise towers construction(massive amount of highly active airco-installations) all around there. Very noise polluted and non clean on air. City pollution is a health and inner peace endangering aspect on the backgrounds. Internet connectivity is very high level (up thru exhaust) users demanded over there, all big numbers of users tightly close packed upon each other. Internet connectivity and receival during flexible location street vlogs gives dips on internet signal connectivity and performance on the handled multimedia devices. Could be noticed during Rubeauti's street vlog's, the moments of short connectivity dips all of a sudden from time to time.
@marcozopfi1736 interesting, American living in BGC 18 months now, Brian the Lion walks many nights through BGC, live streaming , many hours a week. Not once hear excessive traffic. Or construction in day or night livestreams. Makati traffic, noise hustle and bussle very noisy. Congestion even on sidewalks is horrible. In many hours of live streams in BGC, I never see sidewalks congested, yes busy Friday and Saturday nights. Not one podcast from 8 or so channels ever complained pollution in BGC. Sure, successful area can have traffic peak hours.
@tonymccreath4540 if Mam RubeauTi streams live on her I.R.L RubeauTi live she does quite long walks on pavements along the main roads after working shifts and on her weekly day off (often indeed on that busy crowded Saturday!). She is a steady walker and goes relatively swiftly and apart from taking a seat spot for spheric vlog impressions and doing late evening dinner visits over there in the pleasant and well organized (but quite populated) areas in between lanes, (open)mall areas and several food court restorant strips, she prefers to now and then make real lengthy walks also for body movement actively. Noise is seriously present quite often and it sounds as non stop wall of roaring backgrounds buzz sound/noise. For those seeking peace and quiet through more outer home relaxation seems a non optimal match to be living over there like that. Ever since end of September she is back there present all weeks in b.g.c. ; her employer/studies program presenter has residence there. Prominent company, ayala family linked. When she had just arrived, back in Phils after a 36-37 days stay in continental Europe for doing round tripping through several countries, also doing live street vlogs there in Europe, it became obvious to her that she noticed the enormous difference of pavement walks city streets sounds levels in b.g.c. and Makati areas opposite to most of her European city and regional experiences during her travel visit. She quite often mentioned and she is a real Luzon based and rooted, born and raised pH local. In the present she has nuisance from street noise and busy commotion ever present as well. It worsens sleep deprivement and lurking drawing in tendencies on insomnia cause the mind/body is even in private, after working job , times overly triggered and buzz/stirred on those (meant to be) relaxation hours. Busy affairs over there. Not optimal for really all types of people. Some will experience getting overly triggered and fed up with it after a while. I got the impression as well. Imagine myself specifically, not be feeling all that well too out there.
If i we're you, and have allready a lovely Lady , i would Go to Vietnam or Thailand. I been in all These countries....and i am getting tired of the Filipins.... honestly
I'd be tempted to put a good bit of weight on Mia's education if that's determined to be important. I don't know about nursing but it seems that moving around could be quite challenging, especially if out of PH.
Start a pickle ball business on Siquijor Island. Stay in shape and watch your land go up in value 😃 Buy a helicopter for nursing school transportation😃
PALM OIL. Paul seems unaware that all food in KL is cooked in palm oil , one of the least healthy oils and positively dangerous for a middle aged male. I suspect it’s same in Philippines because palm oil is cheap
@@stanjohnson7849 we just see too little showoff's of Paul as a proud dandy wearing challenging beachwear (L.o.L). Those releases probably draw the big numbers, or not so? For lots of cebu city and dumaguete area pinays this works out pretty well effectively quite often. Paul goes for no nonsense effective real info load, rather. And that suits fine.

you can build ur house to a place not center of the typhoons thats the best u need to choose wisely of building ur own house someday i love u guys see u in ur next vlog welcome paul i missed ur vlog
I think most Vloggers if they weren’t vlogging, wouldn’t want anything to do with the Philippines. Some foreigners go in search of a wife. That’s why all the tourists are middle aged men. You don’t see too many foreigner families there on vacation or relocation. Just men seeking a wife. I caution anyone considering retirement in the Philippines to take a quick trip to Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia then you can make an unbiased independent decision without tunnel vision from Vloggers.
Good video. Cheers and safe travels.
Good advice, thanks for watching
I wish vloggers were more honest about the infrastructure in the Philippines before I moved there
Very good!
Great burger in Dumaguete: Sideways Sports Bar on Jose Romero. Sirloin steak burger - huge, juicy, and simply fantastic. 😊
I like some of the south East Asian countries you mentioned. You won the lottery with Mia :-). Give up work , it’s taking its toll . Forget about Europe , too cold and expensive. The economies there are not doing well.
Not worried about the economy as I am retired, thank you for the comment
Dont go to Europe = EU = Mordor! Stay in Asia, there is everything in Manila, from time to time! And do your work in the next 10 years, after you will get older and older, and the motivation to work goes south....
What about Brazil Mexico or Argentina? If your Filipina gives birth there, the three of you will get their passport..
Gio just did vlogs about Iloilo that looked super clean good traffic control with lights and stop signs and I believe I saw there's nursing colleges there also. The area he showed had a lot of new construction and new condos being built. Just a suggestion 😊
@@kennethlewis3575 strange enough during Gio's first visiting days on Iloilo city, together on motorcycle/scooter trip with Maya (in between staying around in Bacolod city) he was lesser enthusiastically impressed by the social community infrastructure-charms of Iloilo city and especially in Bacolod city he then enjoyed pleasant and nice appealing experiences. This is far before 2022's ending. Gio delayed a planned orientation (to Iloilo city that he had announced to be doing soon to viewers and subscribers) visit ever since February and March 2022 onwards because of the start of his intense dating contacts with Maya in April 2022 and after.
Of course he’s already looking seriously at Iloilo, along with buddy Gio whose wife just nuked 🚀 him (which sucks).
For the record, I was all over IloIlo in October. It’s been a bit overhyped as the next Holy Grail. It’s still the Philippines. But fewer expats than Duma, for sure, and a nice walkable promenade. So that’s a win.
@columbus7275 she did not drop on the man. That is based on a way off interpretation. After some happenings and inner reorientations HE on his side of the package, just decided on something like that. For whatever reasons. So effectively fully the other way round, from what you still assume. End results tragically enough, fully the same though. After just one year of active marriage only this is quite unusual and uncommon. No position to have desires for.
I was in Iloilo Yes, it’s cleaner etc. But you need to travel a long way to find a decent beach. I’m not talking about mudflats , swamps , mangroves
Did you decide on kids?
Maybe some slow traveling across Asia, Latin America, Europe?
What about the suburbs of Cebu?
You sound like a child. Sorry to be harsh but it's true. I understand wanting to stay busy and fulfilled but there's a thousand things you can do for 'work' beside a job in oil and gas. Volunteer, teach english, meetup groups, tour guide, etc. Nursing will keep Mia busy for a while but women who don't have children will focus all their energy on the husband and will drive you crazy over time.
Stay in the Philippines. At our ages, it would be really difficult to become fluent or semi-fluent in Spanish or Portuguese.
S&R is a good place to get western foods and cuts of meat . Downside is it isn’t cheap
Maybe Bacolid, Davao, or Iloilo would be good to look at .
Yes we are currently looking at these cities
The derrick man has deteriorated, and doesn’t look healthy. What has she done to him?😢
You can tell she adores you. You are a lucky man. I am happy for both of you.
Adores that money!
Yes All simps are just that stupid Got Money get women Become a Simp
5 guys!👍
Love it
Did you say that you wear, like, a respirator while driving in your car for health reasons? Seriously? Malaysia isnt a city. KL is a city. Look at Langkawi.
If I was happily married I would fly and live in Norway or Alaska.
You like the cold obviously 😂
Sounds like she needs her school finished.Stay put until that is done you are retired learn to relax and you will find where you are is retirement...stop chasing your hat in the wind.
Wow has she any sisters
Baguio is the place for me.
stay in the philippines ...let your wife finish school in PH ...I live in BGC...they got great western style restaurants ( Shake shack if you like burgers ). Air quality is good here too as they do not allow jeepneys
Same issues you complained about before leaving. Probably only worse. If I had the cash like you do absent all else I'd travel the world. Slow travel mind you.
Go check out Spain if it’s good I might go too.
Love Spain ❤
Bacolod has landers and S & R nice mega world
I suggest you stop talking now...and guys you need more snuggle time. I'm in the mountains in the Subic freeport zone. Plenty of law enforcement, security guards and western amenities. But the Yacht club membership fee is high 😅. Good luck
Good food in Spain ? Well unless you like Frozen stuff fried with oil, seasoned with oil, with a last touch of oil, there's nothing really elaborate. They only have interesting charcuterie. Spain IS definitely not a good good country...
Wow
Paul, try visiting BGC, the clean air, traffic much better, and nowhere near costs many would expect.Great infrastructure, good restaurants, low crime, and great access to quality products.😊😊😊
Unbelievable traffic noisy over there, also in close surrounds areas very near to BGC, but actually Makati or other city part close on Bonifacio global city. This became clear through following on live vlogging release of longer length by female vlogger Rubeauti who takes long walks now and then along walkway pavements alongside the roads. (She lives, works-studies over there! ) There is also a constant heavy roaring high rise building noise buzz coming from the tech installations of the high rise towers construction(massive amount of highly active airco-installations) all around there. Very noise polluted and non clean on air. City pollution is a health and inner peace endangering aspect on the backgrounds. Internet connectivity is very high level (up thru exhaust) users demanded over there, all big numbers of users tightly close packed upon each other. Internet connectivity and receival during flexible location street vlogs gives dips on internet signal connectivity and performance on the handled multimedia devices. Could be noticed during Rubeauti's street vlog's, the moments of short connectivity dips all of a sudden from time to time.
BGC has no traffic? HAHAHAHA. Bro . I live here. Traffic is worse in BGC than in Makati.
@marcozopfi1736 interesting, American living in BGC 18 months now, Brian the Lion walks many nights through BGC, live streaming , many hours a week. Not once hear excessive traffic. Or construction in day or night livestreams. Makati traffic, noise hustle and bussle very noisy. Congestion even on sidewalks is horrible. In many hours of live streams in BGC, I never see sidewalks congested, yes busy Friday and Saturday nights. Not one podcast from 8 or so channels ever complained pollution in BGC. Sure, successful area can have traffic peak hours.
@LegalAutomation spot on. Right all the way. I got that impression too. Quite shocking.
@tonymccreath4540 if Mam RubeauTi streams live on her I.R.L RubeauTi live she does quite long walks on pavements along the main roads after working shifts and on her weekly day off (often indeed on that busy crowded Saturday!). She is a steady walker and goes relatively swiftly and apart from taking a seat spot for spheric vlog impressions and doing late evening dinner visits over there in the pleasant and well organized (but quite populated) areas in between lanes, (open)mall areas and several food court restorant strips, she prefers to now and then make real lengthy walks also for body movement actively. Noise is seriously present quite often and it sounds as non stop wall of roaring backgrounds buzz sound/noise. For those seeking peace and quiet through more outer home relaxation seems a non optimal match to be living over there like that. Ever since end of September she is back there present all weeks in b.g.c. ; her employer/studies program presenter has residence there. Prominent company, ayala family linked. When she had just arrived, back in Phils after a 36-37 days stay in continental Europe for doing round tripping through several countries, also doing live street vlogs there in Europe, it became obvious to her that she noticed the enormous difference of pavement walks city streets sounds levels in b.g.c. and Makati areas opposite to most of her European city and regional experiences during her travel visit. She quite often mentioned and she is a real Luzon based and rooted, born and raised pH local. In the present she has nuisance from street noise and busy commotion ever present as well. It worsens sleep deprivement and lurking drawing in tendencies on insomnia cause the mind/body is even in private, after working job , times overly triggered and buzz/stirred on those (meant to be) relaxation hours. Busy affairs over there. Not optimal for really all types of people. Some will experience getting overly triggered and fed up with it after a while. I got the impression as well. Imagine myself specifically, not be feeling all that well too out there.
If i we're you, and have allready a lovely Lady , i would Go to Vietnam or Thailand. I been in all These countries....and i am getting tired of the Filipins.... honestly
Paul's describing Iloilo City, yet wont say it 😂
You always complaining!! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Go to china or Columbia or Venezuela or Taiwan 🇹🇼
I'd be tempted to put a good bit of weight on Mia's education if that's determined to be important. I don't know about nursing but it seems that moving around could be quite challenging, especially if out of PH.
Start a pickle ball business on Siquijor Island. Stay in shape and watch your land go up in value 😃 Buy a helicopter for nursing school transportation😃
PALM OIL. Paul seems unaware that all food in KL is cooked in palm oil , one of the least healthy oils and positively dangerous for a middle aged male.
I suspect it’s same in Philippines because palm oil is cheap
I know, its a problem
Your wife really adores you man....good job.
TRY PARMA, OHIO. THERE ARE NO EXPATS HERE ONLY PATS. BEST OF ALL WE HAVE 5 GUYS VERY NEARBY. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
It was bigger some time ago. Go back to work Paul😂🤣😁
Start cooking
We do a lot of cooking
ha hah
Go to Cebu,it has it all. Forget Europe,its very unfriendly.
too much traffic and pollution, it's like manila!
To much traffic and pollution
Addios😅
I wonder why Mia’s channel is more popular than yours 🤷🏽♂️. You’re a good looking guy 😂
@@stanjohnson7849 we just see too little showoff's of Paul as a proud dandy wearing challenging beachwear (L.o.L). Those releases probably draw the big numbers, or not so? For lots of cebu city and dumaguete area pinays this works out pretty well effectively quite often. Paul goes for no nonsense effective real info load, rather. And that suits fine.
Women channels always do better
I'm into health .....but I'm looking for hamburgers ...lol.
😂😂😭
She is a cutie
