Why I Am Moving Back To The US After Living In The Philippines For Over 10 Years

After calling the Philippines home for more than a decade, making the decision to pack up and move back to the United States was one of the hardest choices of my life. For 10 years, I enjoyed the incredible warmth of the Filipino people, the beautiful tropical beaches, and a highly affordable expat lifestyle. But as time goes on, your priorities drastically change. In this honest and unfiltered video, I open up about exactly why I am leaving the Philippines and returning to America. We dive into the real, behind-the-scenes factors that long-term expats eventually face, including the realities of aging abroad, navigating the healthcare system as a senior, missing family and grandchildren back home, and how global inflation has shifted the true cost of living overseas. Living in Southeast Asia is an amazing experience, but it is not always a forever plan.
