Also left out don't meet a girl in the bar or with kids .there's no divorce here lots of guys will let the girl meet a foreigner knowing it's a payday for them. And if you meet a girl with kids and end up together there's a lot of legal problems. Go to mall or church meet a good girl you will be happy

Been living philippines over 15yrs and parents consider the children a retirement plan. So we give a monthly allowance to her elderly parents not talking big money. And there very nice to me. My first wife we meet in usa and married 21yrs once she passed there colors showed my new wife 6 yrs never asks for anything just help her parents. But a funny one after my wife now her distant like cousin and aunts started showing up looking my wife always gives a reason we can't. Most didn't even talk to her before we got married and were lucky there's 6 siblings and all either have jobs or there husbands have so they share with parents expenses. But I will say don't send money to anyone unless you come over and make sure it's legit. Heard to many horror stories. Guys sending money to philippines and end up supporting her husband and kids. Also don't meet off dating apps. If you fly over there will be so many girls wanting to meet you.

Your the 1st person I've heard say that Amazon is there.😊

Minimalism is the way to go mr Gio ... let the ex mrs keep it all ..

I gave my 2 bedroom house to my son , I kept my 5 acres lot in Florida , my 2020 jayco and my 2020 Ram I bought in 2020 when I was stuck in America because of cov and I owe zero as in no debt , my Philippine house is paid for and our business are paid for . I worked 31 years and did 5 years Army and stayed debt free 63 years of my life because of one thing my dad told me before he died ( never pay for the Rich man's steak ) I've been blessed to have made good money in America and built a good retirement plan . I can live way better in the Philippines than America on my retirement as my savings is almost gone now 🇺🇸 but I live off grid tax free when I go home . I've been to 37 states and 4 countries .

It's a culturphobia thing. My fam would support me no matter where or what.Sucks it's not your case.

Would be good to have some info on methods of moving stuff from an apartment into storage and then to an apartment in another city. I don't know how many of us can reduce all our stuff down to an amount that can be taken on a plane.

Sounds to me like that guy FLED the U.S. And he probably can't go back because of arrest warrants or whatever.

Going to have to be a minimalist when I decide to go there, won't have much choice. Do plan on sending some balikbayan boxes to my Filipina wifes familys address, other than that...dam sure can't take it with me! Good video, Gio...Jim

The biggest problem I have with moving to the Philippines is that I own about 1000 books (not exaggerating) and many of them I use as references.

Talking about dam in Minnesota ithink makanto had breached, thought it had failed at first

Hi Gio. Thanks for another great video and for filming it on the "famous" Dumaguete boardwalk. That's one place that's on my list to see when visiting the Philippines. Take care and keep up the great work.

Homie movin faster than a bullet train, hope it doesnt derail on his azz

In less than 2 months I have had 2 credit cards with attempts at fraud charges. Not Philippines related, not used here. Lesson for newbies, always have multiple sources to access your money. US Corporate data breeches to blame.

TMobile told me if I did "extreme roaming" overseas more than 90 days, they would terminate my account. So I went to Mint, which caters to expats and strangely enough is owned by TMobile!

What was the Link in for the finance visa company he recommended? I listen to you while driving so I can’t always look at links, wish you said the agency as well.

Gio, thanks for the video. I hope to be able to live a minimalist lifestyle. I plan on getting rid of almost everything, but my car. I will get rid of it when I know that I will be staying in the Philippines 🇵🇭.

Good Luck, Frank! Awesome video...I love hearing different perspectives from expats!

Nice Gio...my plan was...??? to do just that...Thanks to reminded me.

Gio, I visited Dumaguete in September 2023 and March 2024. I can’t wait to return sometime in 2025 or I try this year. Great place. I been over the Philippines. Dumaguete is the best. Heads up!! Japan started to get very humid and hot. I’m not a happy camper.

I'll have two suitcases and a carry on when I move over and that will be whittled down even further once I get there. I have been buying moisture wicking T-shits and shorts for a while now a long with some new Keen closed toe sandals that will basically last a lifetime. I plan on just using AirBNB's until I decide exactly where I want to setup shop. But my plan is to be able to pack up and move as quickly as possible if I need too. Must be a former military man thing, lol

I don't buy this. He can go to his country's embassy and ask for assistance so that he can return to his country.

10000 steps is a myth created by a marketing company and not by any health authority! So, promoting it as truth isn't quite right in my opinion.

Hi gio Hua hin in Thailand is a lovely seaside town ,with 2 very good shopping malls ,lovely beech ,and excellent bus connections to bkk ,sombat bus tour is very good ,and very comfortable seats Also hua hin has great food options ,lots of farang retire there too

Hi Gio thank you for your videos me and my friend know Cris Bel because of your videos.Were new in Dumaguete I think 15 days.This place not familiar in me

Getting a job at 50 not easy in the Philippines spending too much on Bars and girls ends up Broked not a good idea His lost banks charged 4 dollars per used atm

When I came to the Philippines 30 years ago, I got rid of everything except photos, underwear ( yep that's important here ), coats, jumpers. I basically had 2 suitcases. Hell, with 4 daughters, a wife and 3 stepgrandchildren, the amount of junk in our house is mindboggling.

women accusing you of cheating while in a relationship where you see them every day are probably the ones cheating.

Everyone who has moved from one place to another and migrated to another continent eventually becomes a minimalist. 6:30 lol Gio, is that a church? yes, Gio a ringing bell like that is a church

Good advise like always my count down started when I first visited Philippines see you when I get there ray from Florida.

The church bell is copyright.

I have had Charles Schwab for seven years, lived one year in another country and I have never had a problem. I have nothing invested with them, but I do have a brokerage account that was required when I opened the checking account.

Agree with you on minimalism. Move on and get rid of the stuff back home.

The part im definitely struggling with!! Missing my harley and all my music stuff!

have lived a minimalist life as far as personal possessions are concerned. NO MAS. I am well to do because I was fortunate to take a chance on some real estate that did well. Marrying a younger Filipina is definitely not minimalist. I want one for life but not legal marriage, just one before God. A legal form of that is a Domestic Partnership. Much better than marriage. I have lived off grid, about half my life. I will again in the PH, but with my own power. Better power than most Filipinos will ever see. And YES, I am keeping the good things that come to America. So no minimalist for me. No reason. Most things are cheaper in the PH except electronics and fuel. I am buying land through a corporation formed with 10 churches and myself. I will rent back the land and build a very nice house. I am bring cattle from Australia that was bred in Brazil for the tropics. It is a cross between American Red Angus and Brahma so it tastes good but can handle the high humidity of the PH. A good Rib Eye or NY steak is a rare commodity in the PH. That's too minimalist for me. I will have aged but not frozen steaks most of the year. Roasts and hamburger after that. And tons of good jerky,

Gio can u do a video about amazon in phil

When I moved to the Philippines few months back. I had a big clear out cd's and other stuff. The only thing that's precious to be now is Photos that can't be replaced. Joined Spotify for my music needs. Life is so much easier now. Pick up a few things like a quality rice cooker and pots and pans. Life is easier

Gio you sound tired, did you sleep well

The only thing I will have too leave and i will miss is my firearms 😢 and my truck 😢

I'm gonna have to start minimizing too i have a battle in courts coming soon with my kids mother
