Well, I moved 22 KM south of Dumaguete City on March 3rd. The place is pretty chill, and it's a welcome change from the heat, humidity and dust/smog/trash of the City of Gentle People. Plus, it comes with a doberman and pit bull for home security!

This channel is an attempt to chronicle my life and adventures since arriving in the Republic of the Philippines on November 26, 2013. This is my first time taking video and editing, so please bear with the process. Hopefully, I will get better over time!! I hope you enjoy the videos and get something out of them. More episodes will be arriving over time so subscribe if you want to receive updates. Also be sure to check out our website over at www.myphilippinedreams.com
Thank you, Ned, for another GREAT video! This episode, my favorite remark was the trampoline was made for "Philippino-sized people." That line was perfect.
Btw, I'm totally digging this house! It looks like a nicer location and larger, but chop suey? No lumpia or balut?
a very nice house...perfect for tropical weather
Wow! Nice paradise. You both blessed! Enjoy.
nice vedeo ,,,,im come from dauin,,,share done👍❤
Love that Thalatta Resort in Dauin. One of the nicest swimming pools ever...
Love watching your videos. My wife and I live in California but hope to retire in Dauin. I look forward to learning more about your time and experiences there. God bless you all!!!
Sweet view, love the home, very nice
Woww beautiful place, the plant you show up is "Traveller or Voyage"🌝👍
Wow !!!!! This is a Paradise Place a real dream place.
Thanks a Lot for sharing.
Seeing that videoke machine.... well that's all I need to know about this neighborhood 😅 good luck

Ive heard the friendship palm also called the compass palm. Typically the leaf stalks orient N - S
Awesome mansion!!!
Wow its a beautiful place
living by the beach is awesome.
This video just popped up in my suggested watch list.
The Algorithm.
NICE!!!! I’d be your neighbor in a heartbeat, I plan to live in or near that area in about 8yrs 😕 I hate waiting but I visit each year to plan for my future. I hope you still around in 8-9 yrs so I can learn more from ya, take care!!!
Real nice house and property
Loved it where is it at any chance more like that around there
Definitely what dreams are made of.😊

wow very nice house
I thought I'm watching Bruce Willis in your opening line. hahaha... love your videos...
***** LOL, I've heard that before. :)
Nice place
I must of somehow looked over this vid. Dont think i ever saw it. Wow Really nice place, but that net speed snail slow haha.
What a beatuiful place, too bad it's not in Cebu.
NICE PLACE
Great looking place..... Good for you..... No rooster's, how will you make it through the morning!!
This place was really nice Ned. Shame so far from the city and having such slow internet does suck.
Looked like a good idea at the time I guess; read all reasons why you moved back.
WoW...this place is much nicer than you're old place....Also, I heard you say that you have a helper? How did you manage that?
i really like your vids nice really i would love too visit thare one day
+James Burnfin Thanks for watching, James!
Those "friendship palms" are neither native to The Philippines nor palms. They are Ravenala madagasceriensis, also called traveler tree.
Copra is dried coconut flesh (kernel). Those coconut palms can be underplanted if you want to do a little farming.
What is the Bamboo looking green wrap on the top rail on the outside balcony? Curious if its a handcrafted thing or a purchased thing.
This place looks like a dream. Why did you move back to Dumaguete? too many bugs? too remote? I dream about living in a place like that...what did you learn about that lifestyle?
My Birthplace
Isn't that house visible from the "National Highway"? I think I've seen and admired it many times passing on my way from Bayawan to Dumaguete.
+Chaz Worm No it is away from the highway on a rocky beach.
Nice I want a duplicate home
What’s the go with the solar. Does it have a battery bank set up. Can I see more of the system?
Where is Michelle in this video? This place is awesome is it still avail
Are you still in the beachhouse in Dauin?
Man that was a pretty house. how far were you from the city? I'm more of a province guy, but business requires me to be near a city. are you planning to stay permanent?
who's a lucky boy,how did you score that ned?
how much will it cost to rent a room there when I come in November please
Hey thanks for that Did you already have an address there for your big boxes before you had arrived ?
I sent them to a fellow forum member who graciously provided his address. They took about 10 weeks to arrive from the US east coast.
Wow really a nice place, love it! Your own little resort 😉
what was the asking price on this lot ?
Looks a great place, how come you moved out so soon man, i saw another one of your videos dates June or July 2014 so less that 3 or 4 months how come?
Andrew Swarbrick It was too far from the city, had horrible internet and no window screens. Had to go....
Philippine Dreams Wow I was just about to ask ALL these questions. You know I have been following you since August so every now and then I go and look at old stuff and I was just kicking back watching the 10 things and I look over and see THIS video and I click and Im like WHOA why on earth leave this place and go BACK to Dumaguete....based on your comments in the video about Dumaguete! But now I get it. Yes for me to no matter how beautiful it is I MUST HAVE great internet or else no one gets rent. Hahaha.But man I love this place! Love the Doberman too.
What is the asking price for the property itself?
your still living in this house?
What does he want for the property?
Ned there seems to be some kind of very big change in your life in the Philippines which I missed somewhere. In your new life what happened to Angel, the motor bikes and your new lady friend. I can see the attraction to the new place, far better than the old. What happened?
Angel is still here, the bikes are still here and Lyn is still here. It's more fun!!
If that's what 15,000 php gets you then I wonder what double gets you.i like the fact that it has solar panels and it's own water supply. Being that close to the sea is the only thing that would kill it for me.
max miser It was a nice place. I just need window screens, AC and good internet. Plus, it was too far from town...
Can you please tell me how much this place sold for? I see the video was 8 years old and you said you were planning on leaving it at 6 months to one year so just curious if you remember what it went for? Thank you
What was your reason for leaving this place ..?
New House? What happened with the Pink House?
Is that 1Mbit download or upload speed? Because that is extremely slow. How do you manage?
+Alvin Robinson It's 3 MB DL and .5 MB UL. It's OK when the signal is steady. From 6 to 10 PM, it really stutters as the Philippines is updating it's collective Facebook page!
Hi can you share a time line here I see you in this house then the pink House ? whats the deal ?
We were at the Dauin house from March to May. Then we were at Dumaguete Studio Apartments while we waited on a good house. We moved into the pink house here in Bunao on June 21.
hello, can i ask you a few questions ?
Coy Jordan Sure,
To far out for you from Duma? Driving all the time for food and banking, most likely no ATMs or banks in dauin
what does it cost to fill a tank of gas for cooking??? how long does a tank last for approx??
Jason Pearson I honestly don't know. Ours has lasted about six months so rar....
+Philippine Dreams 7 kg of gas is around 650/700 pesos
it depends how often you cook..a tank could last2 months
Why did you ever move from this place!?!
Too far from city and the internet was garbage. I need decent internet to work.
how much did this place rent for 7yrs ago now ??
15k
Are you free to tell us the asking price for this property?
I think it was 10 million.
So what is the peso , dollar conversion? 500 a month ?
Google knows.
15,000 PHP would around $300 US
i had lived in Manila & Pampanga for 3 1'/2 years as a U.S civilian wondering around having lots of fun for the most part. renting nice homes and sub leasing out to other foreigner's. I have a lot of wild & cool stories about the PI. My question is, why don't ya do a "WARNING" story on the dirty scum bag foreigners that feed on other nieve foreigners when they first come to the PI ? theres's a lot of that there, many had tried to screw me but it never happened,, im way to savvy for that sht..
P.S my Philipina wife and our 2 kids like watching your vids, good job.. you seem to be a good guy and on a personal mission. i did the same thing, hats off to ya.
My asawa & our 2 kids are coming back in Nov, of this year for the first time in
6 1/2 years. it would be cool to run into you & your wife. if you have a email ill send you some pics
Coy Jordan Great points. The biggest problems I have had as well have been with my fellow foreigners. Go figure. :)
cuts the grass lol
Frank Priv We don't live there anymore!
what a nice property. would have been better if they spend few more hundreds to put on insect screens.
Yep. The bugs were very bad and since it was all nipa/wood construction, there was no real way to screen off just the windows and be free of them. On the flip side, the house never got very hot and always cooled off nicely at night. We are now back in Dumaguete and enjoying our (mostly) bug free apartment.
I hear that you can piggy back off south koreas internet with a satty.
Ned you have great taste in cigarettes I see you smoking those Marlboro reds. Do you know how much the owner is selling his property for?
Nice place
Yeah, it was but we moved back to Dumaguete a a few weeks ago. Dauin was too far and the bugs were a wee bit out of control. Living without screens is not for the faint of heart, especially when reach Jurassic-era proportions.
