University Student Seeks Insight From Expats

7 years ago
Hello Expat Exchange, my name is Nathanael de Guzman, currently studying Communication Arts at De La Salle University Manila. I've currently been assigned to write a journalistic piece for my course about "Foreigners on our Shores", the lives of foreigners that have chosen to live here in the Philippines and the types of experiences they've had. -

I ask the assistance of generous forum users that can spare the time to answer a few of my questions and provide insight on how they came to live or retire here in the country as well as how their lives have turned out.

If possible, I would like to know: (please explain as much as you can)

1. How did you decide to move here to the Philippines? What were your motivations and why this country?

2. How long have you stayed here? What kind of residence do you have and how long do you plan to stay?

3. How has life living in the Philippines been like during your stay? How have you adjusted, or been adjusting? Do you get homesick or do you frequently visit your country of birth?

4. Can you give further insights of experiences you've had with Filipino culture or its people? What is it you like the most or the least about living here?
