Albania or Philippines? Where Should Expats Retire? #expatlife
Albania or the Philippines — which country is better for expats, retirees, and people thinking about starting over abroad? In this video, I compare Albania vs the Philippines through the eyes of someone looking for a more affordable, livable, and realistic place to retire overseas. We look at cost of living, lifestyle, safety, healthcare, climate, culture, daily comfort, and what each country may offer for Americans living abroad or retiring on a fixed income. This is not about selling a fantasy. Both countries have real advantages, real challenges, and very different lifestyles. Albania offers a European feel, Mediterranean scenery, walkable coastal cities, and proximity to the rest of Europe. The Philippines offers tropical weather, English-friendly daily life, island culture, and a long history as a popular expat destination. So which one makes more sense for retirement abroad? Albania or Philippines? Let’s compare. If you are thinking about leaving the USA, retiring overseas, living abroad on Social Security, or starting over in another country, subscribe and follow along.
