This man is my hero
Thanks for interviewing Tim Cook, CEO of Apple about his thoughts on the Philippines. - WW
But Tim Cook is gay
LoL.
I lived in the Philippines for 5 years. I have great memories in there. Now I live in Japan and one day I would go back there:)
Absolutely fascinating! Steven looks so full of life and vigor. Living an adventure. I suspect that divorce was a rocky one. Having the courage to pursue a new life in a different country. Just wonderful.
He looks happy, content, and most of all stress free.
Thank you James
Happy for you, enjoy the "new" you in the Philippines.🤗
@Every Man Has A Story, thank you Mark for a great interview. It was great to meet you in person. I hope to see you again sometime.
Steve, camarines sur pronounced camarinees soor
@@neliafernandez1337 Thank you
Very good interview and man..he has lived a life. Retirement can be an empty depressing period without any real enjoyment..he inspires...
Hello from a fellow Chico St. Grad, also Business Administration grad and stockbroker for 10 years! CSU 90 to 93^^
For me, three years at Chico State and I’m not sure if I can remember a thing. Lol!
If I remember correctly, isn’t Chico State the number party school in the 70’s?
@Scott K. I've been back to Chico from time to time. The most recent was probably 2015 or 16.
This is a very informative channel. Real experiences and life story of retirees. It helps me realize how beautiful the Philippines is ,its not perfect but retiring in this country is something that I really need to consider. I am only 47 but can get along with this talk as I love to listen the topics here.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
I like listening to the experiences of people for learning puroses .Am impressed that there are foreigners who like to spend their life here in the Philippines !
I doubt it if there aren't good Filipinas.
He looks really very happy living in the Philippines. Good for you finding a good wife.
I’m 41 living in California, you’re an inspiration to me, I see myself like you in the future 14 years from now. I’ve never been married , no kids, I will wait to have your life style in the Philippines, may you continue to have a wonderful and happy life sir.
Retire in the Philippines and your life will absolutely change. Good luck sir.
wish you luck sir for your dream,pilipino warm to welcome all the foreigner from different country...
Don't meet Filipino women online, come to the Philippines and there are thousands to choose from in real time.
@@etttoo3698 no one meets in person anymore. We younger generation meets online
Another very interesting story of Steve. It’s a story of a man who lived in a modern world and 150 years later, chose to live where he found the real happiness. I love the story, even if it is short.
Wonderful interview,it's nice to hear the foreigner thinking like this appreciated, nice to hear that he find a good Filipina wife
That was a great interview Mark!!!!
Thanks Samuel 😊
Always interesting when you see people living in cars/trucks. It's an interesting life, a daily adventure
I wouldnt say living in a car would be an adventure, but fine if u have an SUV or Truck which allows u to spread out.
I lived in a Jeep Cherokee and storage units in Arkansas and Central Missouri for 3 yrs off and on and found living without power and running water wasnt a problem i couldnt overcome.
Im planning to move to Leyte in 2023 for good on a very limited income, buy a duel purpose M/C and live a simple life with a lady who supports herself.
Im just going to give her 1000P a day for rent and expenses while buying most of my own food.
@@robertmitchell6080 that's the thing, there's probably a handful of people doing 'van life' for the lack of a better word here in the Philippines. In the US, I think it's a good way, I mean you can move around and visit lots of places and even avoid nasty winters. I don't it's very interesting to me, even the ones living off grid
I'll be visiting the Philippines for the first time in Dec. I can't wait to experience everything it has to offer. Great interview
Wow goodluck sir😇
WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES 👍🏿
Nice of you visiting phil,,keep safe and enjoy
Awsome. Very inspiring. Im also living in a truck and looking toward the Philipines as my next adventure.
...just don't get sick and hospitalized...
IT IS SAD how the West has Declined… so many restless … less than Happy … Westerners looking to Escape to Asia…reminds me of me Dreams of the South Pacific… i was not disappointed… and got to Tahiti and the Cook Islands…by Boat..today… it is the Philippine Islands
and the Dreamers are in the Millions
Good for you Ray
Wow, what an interesting story of Steve and his friend who were looking for a girl who has children. How I wish to meet that kind of man.😊❤️🇯🇵
You can. But don't settle. You deserve a good man
hello sir🤗showing some support here all the way from Philippines...
I can see Paul and Gio in the background grabbing food, an interview Paul had with Gio I saw earlier. Anyway, great interview as usual. I'm a local and one of the things I love watching on youtube are foreigners living or coming to the Philippines. Whether Americans, British, Japanese, Korean, Nigerian vloggers, etc I love watching all of them, of course this channel Every Man has a story, too. Keep up the great work and enjoy.
@I Love Filipinas LOL. haha..
Aha… so you support all the Foreigners who are Retiring in the Philippines ha 🤣😂😆 I’m not mad at you Coz I do too…every Foreign Vloggers I watch Them got nothing to do Here in the US Boring 🤣😂 when we retire we’re going that way too we just gonna let our House rented it… Nice interviews as usual Mark👍👍👍👋✌️🙌
@I Love Filipinas Mr. FK Off is welcoming every foreighner, the irony.
Is FK your name initials or just your fav expression..lol
@@videos-jq7je WHAT'S THE IRONY ABOUT THAT?? ARE Y0U DMB?
Love your interviews thank you so much !!! Great
Thanks Jason. I really appreciate your support
Most people now in California and other states in the US are living paycheck to paycheck, homeless living in their cars because of high rent and inflation.
That's what I keep hearing. I'm lucky I made the leap when I did.
Here ..the safety net is a good family/strongly grounded morals and Bigger is much better ..so make the most and choose wisely. a small parcel of land can gain the family a fruitful harvest that will last till the next harvest season ...
been here 5 yrs now Bacolod at first then Cebu now Dumaguete. The boardwalk is nice, hang out at North Point all the time. Sideways Cafe is always on the list.
I lived in Mexico 23 yrs before here, so Im accustomed to a low speed life. Cheers.
Another good interview, your guest spoke with wisdom and every expat should heed his words. you have have to consider the Filipina lifestyle and ask yourself if you can handle it. he's true the lifestyle is about 150 years backward.
This one calls for part 2 :)
Wow, good for him, having two kids at 64+, I image he has made plans for the future for them. Good attitude, Van life and motorcycles I can relate. Build a House, Babies, like you said Mark he is all in. Not me, not interested in babies at my age. Smiles
I agree ! NO MORE BABIES
another great interview from such an upbeat man .
So glad you are enjoying your stay in the Philippines. I'm a Filipina who went to Chicago for work. Roseland hired me as a nurse last 1981 and am now a US citizen. Watching your interview session and I can sense that you are now settled with your Filipino wife and 2 children. Going back to Philippines next year with my family for vacation. Missing the foods and nice places especially the beaches. Thinking of staying longer since I am now retired. God bless and thanks for your high regard to Filipino women.
For most Filipinos his twang would be most pleasing to them- very clear enunciation, me too, I so liked it.
Mark tend to mumble oftentimes.Lol
He’s my hero! Totally went for it.
Great interview Mark! Maybe he can renew his drivers license online. I did this 2 months ago with no problem.
You can as long as you have same address
@@everymanhasastory Yes, you're right. I've been using my brothers house address for 12 years now.
Very informative channel... thanks for sharing..
Another fantastic video. I can’t wait until I sail on your ship and watch you possibly interview your passengers. Best of luck Mark
Thank you so much. We are getting very close on the ship
This was a great interview.
Very interesting, Retired foreigners living in the Phillipines. What about Germans living & married to filipinas..
Want to hear more...
Good infos & Interview
Yes ..it’s actually good to really find a GOOD Filipina... I just did 13-14 years ago. And yes ..it’s true that we need to see the family first and weigh things really well before getting and or signing such marriage docs, ehehehe if you can handle well while with the whole family, then it’s a GO. I still in such a happy life with this FILIPINA. YEARS to go.
Really interesting topic. thanks for sharing it.
Another great interview, Mark. I like seeing good guys my age get what they want and enjoy their lives. It's just my tough luck that I'm such an odd duck and don't want to live with anyone. But I completely approve of the guys who are making their lives, and the lives of their wives and kids, better this way. Positive in every way.
Thanks for a good interview. Keep them coming.
Great interview Paul 🍀👍🇺🇲
Amen hallelujah AMEN
Great Interview!!!!!

He is doing what I want to do. I'll make it.
Great interview .good job .
Great interview Mark.
Enjoyed the cameo appearances in the background:) Nice interview.
Thank you Scott 😊
I have a Honda VTX 1300, the best bike I have owned, do my own oil changes and tires.
Another nice interview Mark really interesting man..👍👍
I've done the van thing and I loved it. I had a storage unit with my stuff in it and I slept in the Walmart parking lot. I went to Plane Fitness just as he did. I can renew my Florida license online. This guy is just a little older than me and my oldest kid is 37.
Steve had a fantastic story 26 yrs of marriage to an American girl goes sour and he finds a Filipina girlfriend and then wife that’s nice. After 31 years of marriage and my wife left me I’m hoping for the same for me.
sorry to hear it. This guy seems cool. I am not sure I agree with bringing children into the world at that age, though
@@commonsense4889 I recently married my Filipina wife and plan on having kids. I have been with her for awhile and during that time I realized that the best gift I could give my wife was a child. Family is so important in their culture. I am in a first name basis with dirt, so I don't expect to see grandchildren. But I am setting up my wife, so she never has to struggle financially to survive when I am gone. That includes stocks, real estate, social security benefits for the kids, and a Cash emergency fund.
Yes, honesty is best policy. Happiness.
Love this interview!
Excellent interview. 😜✌️👍👏👍
Extra definitely found your channel, glad I did, my kind of California burned down a few years back and I'm thinking about doing something new
Great interview 👍👍👍
Love your channel no sugar coating for real.yup for passport us and phils are good for 10 yrs now,just have done mine! like he said love america and all the family there ,but as of now i'm not thinking to live there again...same as me!!!
Thanks for watching Jay
Very engaging conversation! I give this two-time dad a trophy, that's how to live a full life, staying satisfied, happy and content... a positive thinker. Thumbs up!
Hysterical watching Paul primp in the mirror!
I almost thought I saw Paul and Gio take a seat in that back booth. 😊
We go to Daet 2 times every week.
Let's meet up for lunch one day soon.
Very inspiring .
My british husband want to live in the Philippines we have a house there will be there soon once i sorted our business in Uk
I think married certificate from PSA (Phil. Statistics Authority) plus birth cert., and NBI Clearance is enough to change wife maiden name to that of her husband to get a passport. Valid (not expired) Govt. issued ID is also needed.
Very informative
What a contrast in the two Steves. This one is full steam ahead no consideration of the past and his present challenges. It sure makes for a full life. The last Steve is more considering of his future based on his past. Neither is right or wrong just very different personalities.
American personality type vs British personality type
Very interesting interview.
PH only works if you like Florida summer weather 365 days year, and you like to hear the most voiced phrase in every store is, sorry out of stock
Rules for scooters and motorcycles
Always allow enough distance to stop quickly and always be able to stop in the distance you can see. Like going over a hill or a curve, always expect a broken down vehicle you have to stop for, a child or a dog. Some people drive without their lights on at night also.
Most important use a car or truck to run a cover for you, follow them at a safe distance, if anything is in the road they will hit it not you.
100% attention at all times. I enjoyed my scooter and getting around cars squeezing between at lights. Drove from Cebu to Baguio using ferries.
Check out the 24hr $125 stateroom on the ToGo ferrie from Manila back to Cebu for your bike
MORE FUN IN PHILIPPINES DO WHAT THE LOCALS DO.
You know I am sure every woman has a story too, are there women from foreign countries who moved to Philippines?
Our passport here in Ph is for 10 years now. It just recently implemented.
I met my Chinese phillipina in Southern California. It is true I've never known love like this before. She's the most amazing person. The Lord has truly blessed these dear people with love and simplicity. Hope you al find your. Blessings! From him who is.
Hi.. 1st time to watch your vlog... Now i'm your new subscriber!!
Thank you Melodie 😊
What a nice chap!
Good happy vibes 😊
Retired here in 2006, oh the story's I could tell. But enjoy watching those here only a few years.
Very good interview Mark….
Simplicity 🙏👍
You just need to find a *nice Filipina* to live happily and contented in the PH.
Like you sir, I met my husband in FilipinaCupid 8yrs ago.
Lots of foreigners moving now to the Philippines and they settle for good.
CHICO!!! WOOT WOOT
Good job stay safe and injoy
Goodday Sir ...I was hovering on the tube I found your interesting video..I decided to listen to your conversations as I was listening to your story ..it definitely very interesting indeed ..thank you for sharing your interesting story..Looking forward to your next Video..keep safe and good luck 🍀🍀🍀 & bless always 🙏 Amen...

He looks a little like Alan Alda who played Hawkeye on MASH….
Heres a trivia for everyone.
How long will it take to complete a tour of the Philippines by visiting one (1) island a day?
Not long. A little over twenty years😊😊
Been here since 2015. Love it.
I lived in Quezon City for a few years and I'm going back to live in Bacolod in two years. Life in the Philippines runs slower.
Stay single forever ❤
Nice interview love it story
This was a good interview w/Steve, he seems very informed and sincere. He has a very good reasons for moving to the Philippine and articulated that well. Down deep I would guess he is very relieved to be done with with American politics.
So cool
nice
Register your marriage contract to Phil Statistic and that should change to married name. Then after few weeks request for marriage certificate with your new married name. You take this marriage certificate and birthcertificate to DFA to change your passport to your married name. Be careful with middlename changes. As you single name becomes your middle name and last name becomes your married name.
I also now retired here in Philippines from Maryland. Im Phil National.
A very nice interview,So He married a Bicolana ,He is lucky to find agood en loving filipina wife,God bless him and her family.😊
Maybe I'm wrong
U gotta think like a lawyer in life . Emotions are nice however reality is reality . Emotions are for the mushy movies
Camarines Norte (North) Camarines Sur (South)
Bicol area is prone to typhoons compared to places in PH.
Eastern part of the Philippines is typhonmon prone. If you wanna be safe, better to live in the western part and northern part of Luzon.
I just watched Paul's video with Gio and now I see them in your video in the corner booth, interesting, Small world there in Dumagete
Yes I didn't realize they crashed my video
@@everymanhasastory wouldn’t say crashed your video,the just enhanced😂🤣
He needs to set up Healthcare and caretaking just in case he's too giving
Hello sir how are you whaching Philippines Davao City
