First Ten Days. Was I Wrong Moving To The Philippines?



Find out what my first tens days have been like in the Philippines. The people, the city and the abundance of smiles will enchant you. Stay tuned to the end to see what's coming next. I stayed for several days at the Belmont Hotel in Manila (link below) waiting for my lost luggage and finding a permanent place to live. Special thanks to Ericka and Pamela for helping me with my Tagalog and making my stay as enjoyable as possible.

Also a huge thank you to the broker (Juvy) for spending her Sunday helping me find the perfect place to live. If you are planning to move to Manila, Juvy should be your first contact.

Huge shoutout to the crew of Pickup Coffee in Uptown. They are the happiest group of people I've ever met. When you see the smile in their eyes in the video, you will completely understand why I say this. Also, the coffee is OUTSTANDING!


Also a big thank you to Erick at Ducati Manila for his professionalism and kindness.

KTM BGC is absolutely fabulous! They patiently answered all of my questions (even non-motorcycle questions) to make adjusting to a new country easier. Jave is fantastic and again I can't emphasize enough how polite and helpful everyone is here. Definitely contact Jave if you're in the market for a KTM or Husky motorcycle.
