The Harsh Reality of Living in a Tropical Paradise

Thinking about moving to the Philippines? 🌴 Before you pack your bags, there are a few things you really need to know about life here — especially when it comes to the weather and transportation. In this video, I share my personal experience dealing with the unpredictable tropical climate and how it can affect your daily plans, travel, and lifestyle.

If you’re relying on a motorbike to get around, sudden rainstorms and typhoons can make travel dangerous — and sometimes impossible. 🚨 I’ll talk about what it’s really like riding in heavy rain, why having a car or truck can be a big advantage during storm season, and the trade-offs between convenience, cost, and comfort.

Whether you’re planning to retire here, live as a digital nomad, or just curious what daily life is like for expats in the Philippines, this video gives you an honest look at what to expect before making the move.
