An Expat Talks about Retiring in Davao, Philippines

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

Davao

Do you have any other thoughts you would like to share about retiring abroad?

I think the poverty one sees is indeed disturbing but that is the way the world is. There are a lot worse places. It also teaches me to be grateful for what I do have. What I worry about is that I see the bad situations so much that I will become callous to it. I try to learn from it and gain more insight, understanding and appreciation. There is bad and good here. I've seen some amazing and very interesting people here.
