Checklist When Buying Property in the Philippines 🇵🇭

Before purchasing a property, sign any documents or send any money for deposits, make sure you:

✅ Inspect the property in person
✅ Check for unpaid taxes, mortgages, liens, or disputes
✅ Review zoning laws and property use restrictions

✅ Hire a professional to help guide you through the process

Taking the time to check these important details can help protect your investment and prevent costly mistakes.

"Retired? But you're too young to be retired!" 😊

I hear that a lot.

The truth is, we've chosen to live a simple, debt-free lifestyle.

For the past 10 years in Miami, I only worked one part-time job—just 1 to 3 days a week for about three years.

The rest of the time, I happily embraced life as a full-time Beach Bum and Housewife, living in flip-flops, bikinis, and with as little stress as possible. 🌴☀️

Today, I'm incredibly grateful, thankful, and blessed that I no longer have to work. ❤️

Now we're simply enjoying this chapter of life, making memories, and getting ready for our next big adventure as we prepare to spend our golden years on the other side of the world. 🌎✈️🇵🇭

Life isn't about having more... it's about needing less and appreciating what you already have. ❤️

As of 2026, the United States has become the #1 source of international tourists visiting the Philippines, overtaking South Korea for the first time in many years.

The top source countries for visitors to the Philippines in 2026 are:

1. 🇺🇸 United States – about 591,569 visitors (January 1–June 16, 2026)
2. 🇰🇷 South Korea
3. 🇯🇵 Japan
4. 🇨🇳 China
5. 🇦🇺 Australia

By mid-June 2026, the Philippines had welcomed approximately 2.96 million international visitors, showing continued growth compared with the same period in 2025.

This milestone is especially interesting because South Korea had been the Philippines’ largest tourism market for many years. However, the strong increase in American visitors allowed the United States to move into the top position in 2026.

One major reason for the strong connection between the United States and the Philippines is the large Filipino-American community. Many Filipino-Americans, also known as Balikbayans, are known to visit the Philippines at least once a year to reconnect with family, friends, culture, and their homeland. These visits contribute greatly to tourism, local businesses, and the continued relationship between the two countries.
