When I first started going to the Philippines in 2007 I was living in Japan... that was great for 2 1/2 years then I went back to the US. I went to the Philippines in October 2015 and was there 18 of the next 24 months. Only the occasional trip home. I decided in 2017 to move to Guam and moved here last year after another 2 months there. I've been back 3 times in the last year and a half... Don't hate meUgh, I can't even get to Florida in 4 hrs. You live like a king...
