I’m amazed at the unanimity on this thread about the desirability of going expat.
Now, if a host country has fewer of its own citizens trying to get into the U.S. than there are U.S. expats living there or planning to, then it might be worth a look.
But the Philippines? I don’t think so.
The ex pat industry is BOOMING....has been since Obama especially, but there are a good number of kinda bohemian lib types doing it too.....but the growth is the anti Obama boom.
And no, Asia is not my cup of tea either...there are some gorgeous places in The Philippines - but when you’re talking Asia, you’re talking a whole different ballgame in getting back and forth to visit family.
