The majority of us have met someone who isn’t a local and have decided to pack up all their things and have decided to live here in the country – and they all have their own reasons for it. Globalization has opened borders that weren’t available to many of us before, and more and more people are moving away from their country to live somewhere else. 

A lot of people have different reasons as to why they want to pack up and leave their home countries. One reason would be the cost of living in their own country or the lifestyle that they’ll be able to afford once they move to a different country. That or simply they would just like to retire from the fast-paced and stressful full-time jobs.

Retirement is basically a vacation kind of life. Now, who doesn’t want that, right? And of course, a vacation kind of life calls proper decision making when choosing where to settle and build that awesome life. Now, the relative question is “Where to retire? Where do I build this dream life?”.

And the Philippines is one of the countries that are ideal for anybody’s retirement plans. The majority of the Filipinos are well-spoken in English, we are generally warm and friendly, we have gorgeous beaches and more natural attractions that lure many travelers from all over the globe. 

The province of Cebu is one of the best places to live in the Philippines – being Visayas’ main business hub. Cebu has that excellent blend between urban and natural attractions without having to travel far away.

When you travel, you just stay in town or on the island for like 3 nights and 4 days max at times. And when you do travel, naturally you’ll plan your itinerary to go and see the tourist attractions for the short while that you’re on the island. However, if you decide to live and settle here – you’ll get to learn more and be aware of the situations in the province.
