A Typical Day Living in the Philippines as a Retired Expat (Christmas Edition!)

Start your day with us in Dumaguete City as I share a real look into a simple, peaceful life as a retired expat in the Philippines. In today’s vlog, I head to the dentist to have my new bridge installed, and afterward my friend April and I discover a great little coffee shop tucked away in downtown Dumaguete. With Christmas only 11 days away, the entire city is buzzing with holiday spirit—music, decorations, and that warm Filipino atmosphere that makes the season feel extra special. We spent most of the day listening to Christmas music, enjoying good coffee, and appreciating the simple things. April even hand-washed the laundry (Filipino style!) because she swears it gets the clothes cleaner than any machine. If you’re curious about expat life in the Philippines, daily routines, or what it’s like living in Dumaguete, this video gives you a genuine slice of it.
