Philippines Travel - My Decision to Live in the Philippines for Good
By J.P. Miller

Let me tell you about my decision to move from the comfort and safety of my apartment in the United States for a third world country in Asia. ( The Philippines )

I had a fairly successful internet business in California that was pretty much on auto pilot and producing monthly income that would allow me to live comfortably anywhere in the world. All I needed was an internet connection and a few hours a week to manage the business and do some updates to my web sites. So that left almost any country I wanted to live in available to me.

I decided to move the Philippines. I had lived in the country with my father about 10 years earlier and enjoyed my time there. The people are very friendly and there are many fun places to visit and take in the culture and attractions the country offers.

I put everything I owned in storage and got my plane ticket to leave the United States. It took me 3 weeks from the time I thought about going back to the time I stepped off the plane at Ninoy Aquino International airport in Manila. My friend has a travel agency in Manila so I booked my traveling arrangements through his company.

Once I got through customs I had arranged for the hotel car to pick me up so I just looked for the guy holding up a sign with my name on it and off we went to the hotel. At that time I had to stay in a hotel but I planned on staying a long time, so during the next few weeks I spent a lot of time looking for an apartment to rent.
