Why I LEFT America at 65 to Live in a POOR Village in the Philippines

Why I Left America at 65 to Live in a Poor Village in the Philippines?
Why did I leave America at 65 to live in a small rural village in the Philippines?
This is not just about retirement.
It’s about freedom.
It’s about rediscovering human connection.
It’s about letting go of the pressure to “keep up,” and finally learning how to breathe again.

In this deeply personal story, I share the emotional and practical journey that led me to leave San Jose, California—with no property, no partner, and only one suitcase—to find a life of peace, dignity, and community in a humble coastal town in Bohol.

What I found here wasn’t luxury—but it was real.
Fresh food. Gentle people. Kindness without condition.
A life that may look simple, but is richer than I ever imagined.

If you’ve ever dreamed of starting over… this is for you.
