An Expat Talks about Retiring in Cebu, Philippines

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Cebu

What have been the most challenging aspects of being retired abroad?

One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Cebu is the language barrier. English is not widely spoken in the area, so it can be difficult to communicate with locals. Additionally, the cost of living in Cebu is relatively high, so retirees may need to adjust their budget accordingly. Furthermore, the infrastructure in Cebu is not as developed as in other parts of the world, so access to certain amenities may be limited. Finally, the climate in Cebu can be quite hot and humid, so retirees may need to adjust to the weather.
