Belgian, I'm expat since 23 years, and I lived in France, Morrocco, Philippines, Thailand, and Madgascar. Currently, I'm back in Philippines and I live in Palawan (Puerto Princesa), my best destination. Thanks to my work in IT and through Internet, I live where I have enough money for living. In each country, I worked for myself and sometimes, I created for me or for others small profit centers in IT and multimedia area. I've never been a tourist, only a self-made man working and living where he can.
I joined expat.com on 25 December 2014.
First in Agoo, La Union and from November 2015, Puerto Princesa, Palawan
Living almost like a Thai man in the middle of rice fields. I did it for love, but I don't have any regret;
Middle of nowhere...
The best years of my expat life. There is everything for tourists and expats in Pattaya, probably because Pattaya is the red light district of all SE Asia. Nice place like Kho Samet Island with very nice white sand beaches. Everything in Pataya city, beaches, animations, high tech cinema/bowling, commercial centers, hypermarkets, hospital, clinics, many gated communities. Pattaya is really another world.
More and more expensive because it's one of the biggest place of (sex) tourism in the world. It's not simple for an expat to have visa to stay longtime. Strong rules.
Very nice. First importer/distributor of DVD in Morocco.
I got married there
