City Life in the Philippines offers a unique and vibrant experience. To name just a few the most interesting cities;
Manila, the capital city, is a bustling metropolis filled with towering skyscrapers, lively street markets, and a rich cultural heritage. From exploring historical sites like Intramuros to indulging in delicious street food, Manila has something for everyone.
Cebu, known as the Queen City of the South, is another urban hub that combines modernity with natural beauty. Its pristine beaches, vibrant nightlife, and diverse culinary scene make it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Whether you're diving in the crystal-clear waters of Moalboal or partying in the lively Mango Avenue, Cebu never fails to impress.
Davao, located in the southern part of the Philippines, is famous for its strict discipline and cleanliness. This city offers a balance between urban development and preserving its natural wonders. From exploring Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, to visiting the Crocodile Park, Davao is an adventure waiting to happen.
If you're seeking a more peaceful and laid-back city, Dumaguete is the place to be.

Who is Lee anyway?
I am excited to share with you all that I, perhaps like you, am preparing to embark on a new chapter in my life. After spending 25 years as an attorney and a few more as an over the road truck driver and world traveler, I have made the decision to leave America and settle in the beautiful Philippines.
This decision did not come lightly, and I have spent a significant amount of time contemplating and planning for this big move. One of the first steps I took was selling my house, which was a bittersweet experience as it held so many memories. However, I am eager to let go of material possessions and embrace a more minimalist lifestyle as I start this new adventure. I'll share all that I have learned if you'd like to come along.
As a YouTuber, I am excited to document and share my journey with all of you as well as share some of the best moments I've found following other expats. From my current location in the Pacific Southwest, I will be preparing for the big farewell. Join me as I set out and explore the diverse landscapes, meet new people, and immerse myself in the cultures of Southeast Asia and the Philippines.
