Newcomer to the site
Hi all - just stumbled across this website - glad I did too.
Been to Philippines on several occasions which gave me thoughts. Now looking ahead to next year when I retire and start a new life in Philippines. Where!
Don't like Manila but the provinces are great. I like the simple things in life. Any thoughts on where? Probably start off in a hotel - then look for a place to rent Once settled will seek out a companion - she would have to be mature 40 - 50 years old.
Ok off to browse the forum
Cheers
Mr Sloane

Thanks for the welcome.
To reply: Been to Batangas area three times, Tagaytay [Taal Volcano] and several trips to Manila.
Where would I like to live [rent a house]?
Not particularly concerned. Near the sea would be good - as I like the idea of doing some fishing.
But the idea of keeping occupied - rather than bar hopping - is important. Maybe some chickens and a small garden. Baguio, Tagaytay, Cebu.
I have a friend who lives with a Filipina near Tobaco city. A nice mature companion would be nice - support her - though I do foresee that support could also mean an extended family.

Hello Mr Sloane!!
Welcome to Filipino UK!
When you do meet a "Companion"..Ask her if she would be willing to live, lets say 2 hours away from her family by airplane.
If she says "Yes",then I think you are well on the way to a happy retirement.
We live in Bohol BTW..
Wonderful place!

Welcome Mr Sloan,
Can't go far wrong with Albay (Tobaco City) I have spent lots of time in that area and have a family property close by....
