My name is Kevin. I hope you will enjoy my videos of my great new life of early retirement in Dumaguete in the Philippines. Come along on my island hopping trips to beaches, snorkeling, mountains, waterfalls and other Philippine destinations. I’ll introduce you to friends, so you can learn about dating, finding a place to live, restaurants, and best places to buy groceries.

The rooster is fine. It’s that damn dog that’s annoying.

Yeah, that was my fault. I walked past the owner’s porch. I didn’t know the dog was there, otherwise I would’ve walked another way

Will definitely give that apartment a try because it is month to month.. I know from watching KZfaq videos they have a lot of power outages and also just water outages.. the restaurant is going in my notebook and I will certainly get what you got and also a ribeye and bring the leftovers home.. I have to have a good American type ribeye at least once a month and that looks like the place to do it.. I am excitedly waiting for your steak review of that restaurant.. hurry up and go back..hehe.. thanks to you and Jenna Lynn for such good videos 👍👍😎🤗🍺🍻

79 - 81 (?) I would have sweat dripping off my nose ! - - - Sounds like what is 'needed' is a '''dehumidifier''' - just to remove the humidity ? Much cheaper to operate than AC. = Comfortably 'dry' w/o being cold ! Also keeps from getting mold. -- Nobody over there ever mentions them but they are very worthwhile in humid climates. --?-- 🤔-- Otherwise - just a bit too remote and isolated for my liking - all else there is wonderful. ---- I'm trying Tagaytay. Cooler also beautiful but much more to do with international food available ! Valencia is really isolated requiring trips to Dumaguete for almost everything ! > Tagaytay has so much more and is cooler.

I thought it was a nice place but I think the road in is something to consider. When I checked it out it was rainy season and that dirt road in was muddy (this was right after COVID opened back up not sure if it's changed). IMO MJM is very similar place but the road in may be safer for a old guy on a scooter. I did really like the place but there were no vacancies at the time.

@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 4 ай бұрын

THAT - - - is a real bargain ! --- Studio is enough for 1 especially. I'm single and alone - don't really need quite that much space ! A cleaner once every week or two would be nice ? Perhaps get them to cook for a couple days worth of meals to heat up ? --- Are there coffee shops or places to eat close to or around Valencia ? 🤔

I like the Big Rock apartments with the month-to-month lease. That place would work well for me and it seems like it would be cool temperatures as well. I, for sure, want to try that restaurant & meal you had (BBQ Pork Belly). It looked amazing and not what I'd expect for pork belly--I figured pork belly meat would be very chewy (like chewing rubber bands).

@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 4 ай бұрын

You are correct! Normally I don’t eat pork belly just because of that, but this was delectable. I am looking forward to trying other things on the menu 😉

That is amazing for the price. A great short term rental. Thanks for showing this. I will definitely look into it if I’m in the area. Also thanks for your financial videos. I am halfway to maxing out the Roth IRA this year. i’m 53 and I’m playing catch-up. I had a great stay in the Philippines last month. Thanks for your content. The restaurant reviews are awesome! But I had a hard time finding pizza in the Philippines with actual mozzarella cheese on it. Any suggestions?

Thanks for watching, and I am glad you found the investment video y. I am working on part two. Dairy products in general are hard to find or are very expensive here. Can’t find pasteurized milk, American cheese, butter is pricey. Two places around here use mozzarella: Frontemare in Dauin and Giordano Romantico in Valencia

That pork belly melted in my mouth! I can’t wait to try other things on the menu. I believe the chef was trained in the west. Hahahaha, she hasn’t cut her hair. She wears it up most of the time and “unleashes” it for the videos. Sometimes it goes more sideways than long

During the day, it may be 85F when Dumaguete is 89. The big difference comes at night. It can drop to the high 60sF. The pool isn’t heated, but my friend says it’s pretty warm in the afternoon from the sun beating down on it all day

@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 4 ай бұрын

Thanks Fluffy! The restaurant is 5.7 miles and 21 minutes away according to Google maps. The dirt/rock road between the main mountain road and the entrance isn’t, the best but I have been on worse. All of the main roads in Valencia are great. The dog was my fault. I walked past the owner’s porch and didn’t know he was there until too late.

@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 I'm a motorcycle enthusiast so bad raids are really a problem. Finding a good bike probably would be. I hear a lot of these roads are clay. Wet clay is a nightmare for anyone. I figured the dog was telling everyone there's a stranger here. The Filipina Pea gave me that nickname years ago. Sorta stuck. Cheers mate.
