You have no idea what you are getting yourself into. Travelling might be very educational for you.
You will be back in 2-3 years, with your tail between your legs. Only then you'll know that North America, Europe are the best places to live and raise your family.

You can find good, safe, cheap places to live right here in the US. You have not looked hard enough.

BTW, it is not just your girlfriend you'll be supporting, all her extended family and their families will be on your "payroll". LOL.

Go on an extended vacation, for a few months, that is about it. Never relocate permanently or give up your US citizenship. That is just plain stupid.

How are you going to support yourself, teaching English? What is the average net worth of English teachers abroad?

Bruh... You just wrote a stereotypical sig spam post without being in a sig campaign... WTF?? Mindless sig spam checklist:

1. Responds to age-old thread like it was just written yesterday ☑
2. Quotes the OP in post ☑
3. Repeats same points mentioned ad nauseum in prior discussion ☑
4. Asks questions that have already been answered ☑

I just want to ask you a question. Are you doing a home based job as of now? what kind of environment are you actually looking for.

Yes, I work from my computer, so all I really need is a decent internet connection. If no WiFi, then there has to be a Smart or Globe signal around. I don't have a car, but I just remember it being such a pain in the ass to even go a couple of miles in Manila. Maybe I'll look for a place a little outside of Cebu.

Cebu- Beautiful province with a lot to offer. Avoid the city. It is almost like Manila*. I can recommend canyoneering in Badian, swimming in Bantayan, snorkeling in Moalboal. And if you decide to drop by Malapascua, we might be bumping each other there. Grin

I'm really leaning toward Cebu. Its probably safer than Mindanao, so that's a step up. I'll also be more likely to find an American bar or two where I can watch the NFL games as the season is fast approaching. Its a great excuse for drinking in the early afternoon, or morning if one was so inclined.
