This monthly letter might be just what you need.
Once a month, I share stories, tips, and everyday moments from my life as an expat here in the Philippines.

What You’ll Get
- Real stories: Things I’ve learned (or messed up) while building a life here. The kind of stuff you won’t find in guidebooks.
- Helpful tips: Apps to download. Words to learn. How to not get overcharged for mangoes.
- Culture, relationships, and daily life: From karaoke and GCash to dating, meetups, and how to feel at home, even when you still feel a little new.
- A sense of connection: You’re not alone in figuring it out. This letter is just a way to stay grounded and feel part of something.

Who It’s For
If you're already living in the Philippines, just arrived, planning your move, or simply curious — you're welcome here.
This isn’t expert advice. It’s just an honest perspective from someone who’s walking a similar path.
