I've been traveling the world looking for a new home. I tried Thailand but very few people there speak English so it did not work out. Then I went to Greece. Many people speak English in Greece but the crime rate is horrific so that did not work out. Then I went to Italy. Very few people in Italy speak English and that didn't work out. I read the cost of living in the Philippines was very low and many people spoke English there so here I am. I am living on Mactan Island. I am always looking for a great conversation.

I hope to find happiness here and maybe even fall for one of these filapina beauties and live happily ever after.

Any advice would be well received...
