Moving back to Oz

Hi Marciano,

Judging from your travelling lifestyle you must have a decent income since you don't mention working, in which case my advice is to try the Philippines for a year or so, Riviera Silang in particular, with the view to one day living within our welcoming expat community permanently.

I'm English and retired to the Philippines from London 13 years ago and although I cannot claim to have enjoyed every minute… after all the Philippines is a third world country. The tropical climate and less expensive cost of living, especially housing and local grown vegetables, fruit, food in general including fish, beer, cigarettes and gasoline, sure as hell beats London prices, and the UK weather.

Rivera Estate is 1,000 ft above sea level and typically enjoys the benefit of a year round cool breeze. Three years ago we, my better half and me, built a luxury home and didn't feel the need to install aircon.

A crate of local brewed beer costs 400 Pesos, less than 6 Pounds for 24 bottles, 25 Pence each!!

Marciano, feel free to contact me privately should you want further info.

Good onya Mate,

Peter.

Yes, move back to OZ and take me with you

How strongly attached her kids are to you ? Have you considered that. Every relationship goes through ups and downs. Maybe try to sort it out rather than just running away?
