After your wife is in the usa and working you will find out that that studio is all you will ever need, Its perfect , Because your trips will be less and less , trust me once kids come and school you will not be going to pi much. Thats just how it is its too expensive paying for 3 or 4 to travel, Your focus will be on providing a good life in the usa. I use to go 3 times a year 2 months each time before i brought my family to the usa , Now we go every 2 years for 3 weeks. Like you said maintaining a house there is a pain , our house there just deteriorates from the weather. So You did good.
Fun video! You're such a cool guy and your wife is adorable, what a sweet person!! Love the new local style hat! & when you're still wearing the ball cap, tuck the top of your ears into the ball cap, sonce the top of the ears is where a lot of skin cancer occurs. Who cares if you look cool, Right?!
Hey new subscriber here guys, watched your video of you surprising her by showing up… congrats to you both, I am considering moving to live with my Filipina in the mountains near Alabel! Definitely provincial life. I actually am looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing your life there. It seems very relaxing and a lot less stress than the USA
I’m 62 yrs old and in great health!I was thinking about retiring over there!My income will be around $4,500 per month!I can live nice there for a single guy!If I do decide to meet a woman she would have to already have a kid!I already had two kid’s.I’m a happy go lucky guy!I enjoy the outdoors and the beach life!I lived in Florida and now I’m up in NY to spend more time with grandkids!
I think I’m liking the photography as much as the story in your vlogs. Arlene has almost zero accent…did she grow up in the province? Thanks for sharing !

I’m a Motor Officer in the States me and my bride had a accident on Camiguin island last year she’s here now we married stay safe God bless ! And humidity lol I’m from South Mississippi
Awesome video guys! Yeah i had trouble finding a decent wide brim bar in the phil too 😅. Honda clicks are great! So far that's the only type of bike I've ridden there, we used a friend's in dumaguete and hired one on siquijor. I've been seriously looking at the suzuki raider crossover, i think that whittle be a very versatile bike and good for rhea to learn how to ride on. Keep up the good work! Roy
You, like me, are blessed to have found a partner whose family adds a lot of value to your life there. My first trip to PI was 1996. Hope you have as many wonderful memories as we do.
The small conveniences the a city have, especially if you're from a 1st world country actually adds up to be a huge difference. Things are done manually, unreliable/lack of basic tools I can see you struggle but also being respectful and understanding. Nice to see people like you actually giving the effort to adjust with our customs. You seem happy despite the little struggles and your wife is very beautiful, well done 😂. Take care of each other, good luck on your life here in Philippines. Also, you chop down a banana tree every time you harvest the fruit to encourage the growth of a new tree, because the tree where you get the fruit from isn't gonna bear another fruit and will just die slowly, so every time you get a fruit you cut the tree down as close as you can to the root to speed up the growth of the new one.
Yes, I'm learning something new everyday. I truly enjoy the province. Being 30 minutes from the city is the perfect location as we get the best of both worlds in my opinion. Thanks so much watching!
I am so glad that your house worked out for you. "Paul in the Philippines, old dog new tricks" just made a video about how he was scammed by his contractor. I feel pretty sad for him.
this is what im talking about foreigner can plant trees vegatable or raise some pig chicken or what ever there a lot of things you can do which is enjoyable at the same time you can earned from it
Hello Brandon, I’m a new subscriber and have enjoyed your videos. I’ve also been dating a woman from Leyte. I’ve visited twice and planning on spending much more time there in the future. What area of Leyte are you in? Also, can you do a video about the Visa Arlene will be getting to go back to USA? Thanks.
We are about 30 minutes from tacloban near Tanauan. Arlene has been approved for a k1 visa. We plan on making a video about it in the future. Thanks for watching!
Brandon , Something i wish i would have done sooner on my place in the philippines and you should do now , Plant trees! like avocados, yellow mango, calamansi , I would put a grove out at the street to block noise. That way in a few years you will have nice fruit and a sound barrier. Be sure to buy only GRAFTED AVOCADOS or they wont make fruit. Trees take awhile. So best to get them going.
Cleaning the surroundings, a typical thing to do in province especially after storm.👍 Your studio type house is nice! Great house to start a life. 👍👍 Plant more fruit bearing trees or root crops and you will live good already. Just be contented with simple life!🙏
Your about 80 miles from where I'll be with my future wife in Moalboal. By the time you get back from the US I'll have our house built maybe we can connect in person.
What part of barangay are you guys, it shows very green, my uncle would chop the banana tree for pigs meals mix it with other ingredients thanks for sharing
Nice video mate, the one and really only thing that annoys me about south east Aisa, is there obession with their phones... Tiktok, facebook, instagram.. shits out of control. In thailand would eat with my friends and would be 10 mins befoer we ate just so they could take pics of the food and selfies... on another note. Love the Tiny house I could live there for ever. Seems as if I have seen this video before, very similar to anothre vlog I have watched. Good luck with it all bro. EDIT It was the same house i saw 9 months ago haha.
Why would you want to come back to the states. Hell I can't wait tell I can retire really at 62 and move there , where I can afford to live . I don't want to work until I die. Want to be able to relax and have fun fishing and doing other hobbies.
Great question. USD to PHP exchange rate is at 35-year highs. I doubt that in 5 years, the rate will remain this high with a strong USD. Additionally, land always increases in philippines which would of added even more of a loss. Finding good land with electric and direct access to a paved road isn't always easy so when it became available in our desired area we jumped on it. Also, remember that the cost for all of this is less than a used car in the states! Will be interesting to see how it plays out in 5 years with the exchange rate.
They aren't common in philippines. I'm sure we could find one somewhere or Order online but since we don't have any storage building yet I've been holding off.
Not really, Filipinos are just pc gamers in general. Sony's been selling PS5 here in the Philippines even before they decided to remove PSN in our country. It's just not practical to get one now because PSN isnt available, unless you have an existing PSN account registered from another country where its available or you dont play online.

Yes, it takes some time to adjust to minor things but it's a great place to be. Very peaceful and beautiful, good luck and thanks for watching!

Yes, I'm very fortunate. Thanks for watching!

Yes, his situation is unfortunate. We did build ours ourselves though. Thanks for watching!
Living the dream brother! Loved the video...we are building a tiny house as well but up in Ilocos Sur area. 😀❤
Sounds great. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Bro, good on you for doing the yard work. For me I would have paid someone $10 USD to do the work lol.
Thanks for the reply. That is cool, we are located not to far away in Polompon, Leyte.
Nice One Brandon and Arlene keep it up!😊
Thanks for watching Dea!
Great couple
I will see my gf in Agusan soon miss her
Awesome, thanks is for watching!
I am seeing that the Philippines is being hit by a terrible typhoon right now. How is it affecting Dumaguete and Leyte right now?
Leyte is fine.
You have a very nice lot there in the PI. Can't wait to see the house that you are going to eventually build on it. Nice video.
Thanks for watching and supporting us all along!
Simply life yes
Always enjoy your Life ❤️🙏
Thanks for watching!
Very nice
How does the Philippines heat/humidity compare to Texas heat? Would a Texan be ok with the heat? 105* 75% humidity is common here in Texas.
It's a different type of heat but I think you'd be able to adjust better than myself from Seattle.
We bought a Click also. Very handy
Yes, great little ride. Thanks for watching!
Love you guys❤
Thanks for watching!
this is what im talking about foreigner can plant trees vegatable or raise some pig chicken or what ever there a lot of things you can do which is enjoyable at the same time you can earned from it
That's right, thanks for watching Jeffrey!

Awesome, sounds like a plan. Good luck on the build!
Nice house !! Cute
Thank you!

Near Tanauan, thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching
doyou rent the house for Tourists like me?
I plan to stay for 3 months in 2025
We don't rent it. When we are gone her sisters are living in it. Thanks for watching!
Why would you want to come back to the states. Hell I can't wait tell I can retire really at 62 and move there , where I can afford to live . I don't want to work until I die. Want to be able to relax and have fun fishing and doing other hobbies.
I'm 37, she is 26. I will be "retired" in early 40's. We're in no rush and having her in the USA makes future travel much easier with her visas.
That’s very sad about your dog
Hi great vid
Why didnt you just wait to build after you guys return from living in usa for 5 yrs and return to ph ?.
Great question. USD to PHP exchange rate is at 35-year highs. I doubt that in 5 years, the rate will remain this high with a strong USD.
Additionally, land always increases in philippines which would of added even more of a loss.

I’m curious isn’t there a push mower available?it would seem so much faster
They aren't common in philippines. I'm sure we could find one somewhere or Order online but since we don't have any storage building yet I've been holding off.
❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
He got a pretty girl I can see why he flys to the PI, that rural living though isn't for me, Im a city boy
Thanks for watching Jay!
a ps5 in the philippines?! that's a first. haha
Yeah, we have a great time playing each other in UFC and NBA after dinners with the family. Great times. Thanks for watching!
Not really, Filipinos are just pc gamers in general. Sony's been selling PS5 here in the Philippines even before they decided to remove PSN in our country. It's just not practical to get one now because PSN isnt available, unless you have an existing PSN account registered from another country where its available or you dont play online.
Looks like you got ya a Juicy Girl !!
Thanks for watching Michael!
Nice Juicy Girl !! 😂😂
Nice place. Your new subscriber here in Saudi Arabia. I'm from Philippines
Thanks for subbing!
