My Story:
After 49 years of doing the hamster-wheel in California, I finally left it all
and decided to see what Southeast Asia had to offer. I moved to the Philippines
for 6 years, experienced some of the best times of my entire life!
Now, I am exploring again and living in Vietnam. Join me as I venture out to see
more of Vietnam and the surrounding areas. I will share with you my thoughts on
what I see and how I handle the various challenges of living as a full-time expat
in Southeast Asia. For more photos and non-CZcams videos, join or follow my

How can you take a vacation when you're already on a permanent vacation??
@@maddmaxx5384 ha!! :D good point.
I've stayed at that One Oasis through Airbnb couple years ago. I rented a 1br/studio room for $22 per night for 4 weeks. Saved me lots of money by not staying at the hotel ($70 per night). One Oasis was great, laundry service you mentioned just outside was very convenient and cheap. The big plus about staying at One Oasis was it's right next to SM Mall, I did some grocery shopping, morning walks/jogs...really great location..thanks for the vid Reekay, enjoyed it..
Bidet. Never used one till I went back to the Philippines a couple months ago......Got home back in Nashville and Installed one right a way...
Davao is wer it all began for me way back in 1985 gee massive difference then hav made tons of lifetime friends there
Nicest Phil Studio apartment I've seen reviewed. Found the listing on Airbnb and bookmarked it. Thanks for the tip.
I stayed there about a year ago. It was ok for me. The guards were very nice to guests but for me I don't like the Ecoland Mall that's down the road from the place.The pharmacy down the road was good as I had some allergy issues while in Davao. Also I should have asked if there was a dumpster there because the trashcan the host had was VERY small. Hot water went out as well and I thought I could check in early per discussion with the host but she rented the place out by the time I arrived and super jetlagged. I would have rented it an extra day if I would have known she would sell it. I stayed in a 2/1 and I liked the setup. Depending on where I settle with my long term plans I may buy a condo by abreeza mall. If you have a good host then you will be good to go at one oasis. There were some other condos on that street as well and many Taxi drivers willing to take you anywhere. Even at 4am I was able to get a cab with no problems.
Stayed there a couple of years ago and enjoyed it . We had a two bedroom so there was plenty of space, even included a washing machine. It was a ground floor unit and was diagonally located from the pool which I took full use of. very comfortable, plus right next door to the mall, easy to access by walking.
Nice, I was looking at some $13 a night condos in Lapu Lapu city.
Henry you're lucky to get your cc to work with Grab. I tried at home but it won't work. Some people on Tripadvisor said they got it to work when they arrived in Asia. I arrived at Terminal 1 and tried inputting my cc information but it said that it can't take my cc. So I pay in cash every time I use Grab.
As for Airbnb I checked out some around Manila metro but I notice the hosts tend to ask for a deposit. One lady wanted $1,500 deposit in case the visitor breaks anything. I read that Airbnb gives coverage to hosts for damage property= at least in the USA. Maybe they don't give coverage in the Philippines which would be unfair. But if they do then some of the hosts are probably trying to scam people. I can't imagine giving someone $1,500 deposit for Airbnb and expect them to not claim I broke something so they are taking $1,000. Also many hotels in metro Manila are affordable. I'm staying in one now that costs a little over $27 a day. I get breakfast for two persons. I get wifi that is super fast. And I'm in a central area within walking distance of Robinson's Plaza. I went in there to buy a pair of shorts. One that I brought ripped when I got into a jeepney. That was really funny walking around like that. What an experience. A lady in the mall wanted to give me her phone number asking me if I am looking for someone she is available. I never expected something like that in a mall in the Philippines. Also with the Airbnb I saw in the ads you have to pay a cleaning charge and a fee. I wonder if it's the same in Davao asking for a deposit?
i called my card company before i flew out so that they could have a 'travel notification' that i'd be using my card in the PH for those 2 weeks. so, that averted that issue. my card is also attached to my money-management account, and they are very travel-friendly since it's used mostly by investors and businessmen who travel.

Hi Wayne
I will be flying into Manila on November 6 but arriving at like 2:30am
Do you have a good recommendation for a hotel in Manila that is close to everything? This will be my first visit. Also do you get a burner phone or a new SIM card . Thanks,
Patrick
@@Lifebeyondthesea Thanks/ How about the Airbnb do you have to give a large deposit as some want in metro Manila?
@@patrickmanley4943 You don't need a burner phone or a new sim card if your service provider is T- mobile. Just let them know that you are traveling to the Philippines and they will unlock your phone so that you can use it. I was in the Philippines earlier this year and never had a problem using my phone even in Thailand and Korea. And if you plan to travel in the province, buy a pocket wifi it comes in handy. It cost $24 including the load for a week then every week you need to buy load for$5. I bought my pocket wifi at SM mall. They also sell it at the airport NAIA there is a kiosk towards the exit going out to the parking garage at terminal 3.
@@Lifebeyondthesea I just tried again with my Charles Schwab debit card and this one works. Now I don't need to look for cash.
I like it. Nicest Phil Studio apartment I've seen reviewed. Found the listing on Airbnb and bookmarked it. Thanks for the tip.
Oh, my gosh. How time flies. It's almost time for your visit to the Inland Empire. Take care, Reekay.
i been following you over a month or so and i came to philippine sept 6 and applied for the courtesy SRRV visa . at present i am waiting for them to approve it and i flew to davao on the 16th and i am here for a while as i have a god son here from 2016. just thought it be cool if we could have luch and i love to pick your brain alittle . my house is up for sale as we speak in the USA and i could really use a bit more infor . if you wouldnt mind having lunch i would love to meet
i'm back in saigon, vietnam now. but eventually i'll vacation in the ph again.
First comment from your subscribers. I can't wait to see more videos featuring Davao.
i'll be sharing more from davao soon. :)
Ecoland is name of the area in davao about 20 minutes in traffic too DOWNTOWN davao san pedro area in city hall peoples park near appo view hotel immigration is in bajada a across from Victoria plaza
Looks a lot like my favorite condo in Manila (Taguig, Acacia estates). I rent a 2 room for around 35 a night. 6 buildings of 6 floors. Could be the same owners. Going back in October. Yes Superhosts are the way to go.
Future Expat sounds nice is that place have discounted monthly rate ? near bgc
Pretty much lived at SM Lanang last time we were there. Davao was 10X's cleaner than Cebu ! Stayed on Paradise Island in Davao love that place. If you have time Hagamitt Falls is beautiful and very relaxing on Samal. Wife and I have a small piece of land there.
Awesome studio... very well furnished.
One oasis Davao was a very nice stay for me as well. It’s one of the nicer Airbnb locations in phil that I have rented from. SM mall is very close, just outside the front gate entrance. Plenty of public transportation options. Overall a great spot to stay while in Davao
We're in One Oasis In Cebu,
Very Nice Place,
Friday we go to Bohol.
Just like the one Oasis in Cebu was there for two years.
Is that the one that is right next to SM mall? If it is, I stayed in a two bedrooms there a couple of months ago. That place looks a lot better than the one I had.
Nice video..thanks for sharing
Reekay! I just found your article on One Oasis and we barely missed meeting up. My home has been in One Oasis since October 2019. Right now I am in South Orange County awaiting Philippine Government permission to fly back to Manila/Davao. Please let me know when you will once again be in Davao City.
will do. i'm sure vi and i will be there at some point since her parents live in davao.
I looked at these condos earlier today didn't see a good video of the bathroom until this video . Thanks for showing the shower better think I will go ahead and book a room there .
i'm glad it was helpful. :)
I love Davao was there in May ,taxi drivers are very good there you don't need grab .
It’s beautiful Reekay I think I will stay at that place when I visit Davao. That’s where President Duterte is from.
Hi we were there for ten days last year. Great condo five minute walk to the malls washing machine was handy
I enjoyed your information regarding these condominiums.
Very nice video! I can’t wait for the next one! Next time I go to Davao City I will probably rent something like that! I was renting in the same nice hotel during my first and second trip but I want something different! 🙂🇵🇭
S.m is the best mall in ecoland davao good on u fianally getting there many malls in davao I knw every wer there . I should hav gone to Jack's ridge great food and top views overlooking it's up high JP LAUREL IN BAJADA HAS SM TOO NEAR LANANG ABREZA MALL VICTORIA PLAZA OLDER MALL AND GAISANO MALL RENOVATED LOOKS GREAT THEN IT USED TOO THERE NOTHING I DONT KNOW ABOUT DAVAO AFTER 25 YRS GOIN THERE
How ironic Reekay this is where I stayed last year in Davao as well 👌😁 different condo to mine, but was at One Oasis 😍
I also stayed at Cheema's on the sea on Samal - it's stunning there you should check it out of you are still in Davao the staff were super friendly too! ❤❤
All the best... can't wait to get back out there again too!
👌😎🇵🇭😍❤
Bus station too in ecoland goin all over mindanao digos gen Santos etc also can get van too gen san from sm ecoland
I mean if u ur there again check out Jack's ridge great in matina area
Looks like a nice place there.
i enjoyed it.
That's a cool spot. Is it walking distance to the main attractions where the "interesting people" hang out? 😊
there is a mall next door and easy to get a taxi to downtown from the gate-exit of the units.
I want to come to davao, never been there before, how does it compare to other cities you have lived in the philippines?
each place has it's pros and cons. it would take a while to go over them all. perhaps i'll do that in video soon. czcams.com/video/Op90n1kBVQ0/video.html
PLS HELP IM SCARED A GIANT SPIDER LIKE IN YOUR VIDEO appeared AND JUMPED SO FAST
Watching your videos never thought you would leave Asia.
" ..... So I can make 5 lbs of rice a day. " Haa.... Thanks for the chuckle !
You've been to Valencia, right? I'm going there to visit next year and I'm wondering, is Grab available in that area?
i love valencia.. nice and cool there. but no Grab in duma or valencia last time i was there. i haven't heard of it coming in, not even taxis. everyone got around via tricycle or jeepney for public transport.
reekay,here is a new one for you in australia the slang for toilet is the dunny
ha! :D
@reekay's Have you ever stayed in an airbnb and it said 'wifi' but in reality the wifi was so slow it was practically useless?
yes, that happened at a place in Lahug, Cebu. i had to use my own pocket wifi and sometimes my phone as a hotspot to get a decent connection. it's best to read the reviews before booking a place.
$27 / night , great value . Pity about that one door handle in the kitchen :-) Not a biggie , everything else was so cool, so it stood out :-) What about your place in 'Nam ?
Heavens , the place is awesome !
Perfect by the pool, great for a party and weekends ?
What airline did you use to fly to Davao or is there only one? Love your videos!
i flew cebu pacific from saigon to manila to davao and back. there may be other carriers covering that route. can check at www.skyscanner.com
Is it common for AirBnb's *not* to have blackout drapes? Those drapes would mean I'd lose out on a lot of sleep.
hotels usually have blackout curtains. but airbnb's are decorated by the owner/hosts. maybe some do have the blackout curtains, but don't count on it.
Reekay does your american credit card work on grab?
yes. i gave my card company a 'travel notice' so that there'd be no issues in the PH. my Grab rides auto-billed to my card.
Why do so many people where face masks there ?
Pollution... Diesel car/busses and motorcycle fumes... and contagious disease like the flu...
for the bad air-quality on some days.
Taxi drivers in davao are good no need grab there unless that's wat u want
yes, i grabbed a few taxis from the mall as well to get around.
14:25 they are korean hehe
8:00 those pillows don't look very appealing...
nice video, How does it compare there with Manila and Cebu amenity wise does it have gym ?
for now it isn't much of a gym. i hear a real one is being built. all they had was a non-electricl treadmill and two lightweight machines. and they wanted 50p/day for that. not worth it.
Reekay's LifeBeyondTheSea thats not a bad palce at all right near big mall nice change of pace form hussle and bustle lot of barbecue places
Nice place. How far to restaurants and nightlife?
there is a mall just around the corner, and more malls about 10-minute ride from there,
What, are you done with Vietnam?
no, just took a 2-week vacation to the ph. i am back in saigon, vietnam now.
how come you don't shot thailand so much? How is everything over there, cheaper to live?
i've not visited thailand yet, i plan to do that next year.
@@Lifebeyondthesea Must be nice over there, I want to live somewhere nice with beautiful view, beaches and all and also very cheap for retirement. Most ppl on youtube describes phillipines as not that cheap as ppl think. That you probably need 1000dollars every month just to survive, thats a lot for living a basic life in those countries
Hi
Why did you pick Davao , to visit?
a good friend of mine (and fellow vlogger), Gio had told me about the area so i figured i'd go there for a visa-run and vacation.
I'll be in VN next March and will be staying at Airbnb the entire time. My reason is you don't have to leave your passport with the hotel, you can keep the AC on all day if you want unlike hotels where you have to return the key which shuts the power off. Also there are a lot more Airbnb to choose from in most areas than hotels.
how much was the cost per night to stay there?
$27/night. (it's in the video)
@@Lifebeyondthesea Thanks for your reply! I must have missed it when viewing it...
place looks great and many thanks for your videos
You think it’s late August or September, you’re not sure
it's really easy to lose track of time here. especially with a short-term memory.
Actually I agree.especially if you’re in Philippines. Nobody will understand what you mean by having a short memory.
VACATION???....looks like you are always on vacation! Lol
Vacation? You're always on vacation. haha.
:D
