Live in the Philippines

Live in the Philippines helps expats with visas, moving and other services regarding the Philippines.

Travel in and from the Philippines

Living in the Philippines offers great travel opportunities.

Firstly, travel inside the Philippines gives the opportunity to experience many different cultures, languages and scenery.  The Philippines has regions that are so different that it is almost like visiting a different country even just going from one town to another.  As a group of 7,107 islands, the cultures present in the country are multiple.  You can spend a lot of time traveling the Philippines without seeing all there is to see.

The other great thing about travel is traveling from the Philippines to other countries.  Within just a short flight from the Philippines you can literally visit a dozen or more different countries!  Take that out to 6 hours or less of travel and you can expand from a dozen to several dozen countries that are at your doorstep!  It all leads to some great travel adventures from the Philippines without the need for long trips!

Of course, if you travel from the Philippines, coming home is always a great experience!

What an interesting trip!

I visited a little barrio called Patag, which is in Malapatan, Sarangani Province. I have been to Malapatan before, but […]

Let’s go to Bukidnon!

Travel, Video

Well, for today, I have a video of a trip that Feyma, the kids and I took to Bukidnon. It’s not really a full-fledged trip to the Province, rather just a trip across the border to buy some plants for around our house in Davao. In Bukidnon, there are lots of roadside stands selling flowers […]
