Thank you for the compliment Harry. But I don´t think I´m any magic. Tim is the real and true MAGIC man here. And I have to say, after spending one wonderful day with him, I am the very lucky guy who had the honor to talk for the day with him, never though that in person would exceed my expectations so much, such a honorable man, serious, professional, sometimes so funny and laughed so hard with him... and one of a kind guy. We talked about lots of things, we disagreed in some and it was such a pleasure to see his pov´s in so many aspects; certainly is a very wise man and I hope to see him again around soon. All the best.

This apartment tour is a breath of fresh air! Mike's laid-back and calming presence shines through as he shares his new home just outside of Cebu City. It's inspiring to see someone prioritize their well-being and embrace a simpler way of life. Kudos to Mike for sharing his journey and spreading positivity!

Incredible neighborhood. Just from what little I saw outside. It was clean and no traffic. I thought it was only going to be the downstairs part when I saw the price. For that price, you could spend the weekends in Cebu City, or farther up north on a beach.

That's true. The farther you get from the urban core of Metro Cebu area, the cheaper the rental gets. Yet, you're still in Cebu. Cebu has lots of rural towns which are quite beautiful, peaceful and cheap to live yet you're just a few minutes to few hours drive to the life's modern convenience in Cebu City. One needs not live on a remote province or island outside Cebu just to live on a budget. You don't need to sacrifice your life's cravings and personal tastes just to live the life you want by living in a place so remote devoid of many modern comforts. Cebu has lots of unspoilt natural attractions outside these 4 core cities like the lush scenic mountains with lots of blue waterfalls, cold springs, streams, rivers, white sandy beaches all over for you to enjoy in such a serene environment.
