For Expats
Move to the Philippines Wisely
A complete planning system for turning your move into a clear, structured process instead of trial and error.
This course helps you think through the decisions that matter most before and after you arrive, so you avoid the mistakes that cost most people time, money, and momentum.
Lifetime access. All updates included.
The Gap
The systems, frameworks, and decision tools that turn "I'm thinking about moving" into "I know exactly what I'm doing and why." You've watched the videos. Read the forums. Maybe even visited once or twice. You know the Philippines could work for you. But you also know there's a distance between watching someone else's life and building your own. The questions that keep you up at night aren't "is the Philippines nice?"
You already know it is.
I'm John. I incorporated my first company in the Philippines in 2019 and moved here full-time in January 2020. Since then I've started multiple businesses, built teams across offices in Cebu and Davao (with Manila coming soon), and created Bridgehouse, a weekly community dinner where 40 to 70 expats show up every week. Between the businesses and Bridgehouse, I work with expats from all over the world every single day.
I've watched hundreds of foreigners go through this process up close. Some of them planned well and built something great. Some of them didn't plan at all and it cost them years and thousands of dollars.
This course is built from all of that.
The Real Questions
These aren't beginner questions. They're the ones that separate people who move successfully from people who move twice.
If any of these kept you up at night, you're in the right place.
What this course is
Intentional Relocation: Move to the Philippines Wisely is the structured, step-by-step planning system I wish existed when I moved to the Philippines in 2020. It takes everything I've learned from building a life here, running businesses, watching hundreds of other foreigners succeed and fail, and organizes it into a framework you can actually use. This isn't a hype course about "retiring in paradise." It's a planning tool for adults making a real decision.
Lifetime access. All updates included.
Outcomes
By the end, you won't just feel ready. You'll have the actual work done.
Run a long-term financial model tailored to your specific situation, income sources, and lifestyle expectations, and know exactly how many years your money lasts under three different scenarios.
Choose a visa strategy that fits your circumstances and know exactly what steps to take, in what order.
Select a location based on what actually matters for daily life, not what looks good in a drone shot.
Walk into your first 90 days with a plan, so you're building a life instead of figuring out where to buy groceries.
See the traps, blind spots, and false economies that cost most relocating foreigners thousands of dollars and months of frustration.
Curriculum
What the Philippines actually is, why people fail here, and whether this move is right for you right now.
Your real cost of living, the costs nobody talks about, taxes you didn't know you owed, healthcare, and a personalized financial model that tells you exactly how many years your money lasts.
Every option mapped to your situation, with a decision tree and a timeline planner.
A location framework based on daily life, not tourist appeal. Honest comparison of every major option.
What to do before you leave and a concentrated action plan from touchdown to settled.
Why most foreigners hit a wall at two years and the architecture that prevents it.
What's Included
Not everyone who wants to move to the Philippines needs this. But if any of these sound familiar, you do.
From the Community
“This is probably the most insightful and important video you made. You lay out the universal needs of humans and then map individual behavior in a relation to their own needs. A real and powerful video which will help expats AND Filipinos to understand each other's behaviors.”
