My Swedish husband and I agree that Philippines has something that makes you love or addicted to her, despite it is not the most orderly country. I think its the weather, very social people, resilient people, relax attitude of people and less materialistic mindset of people compared to countries it is compared to. Even the organized chaos, you will end up appreciating it too. Philippines offers high quality of life, and if you are above middle income, then higher standard of living too. Here in Scandinavia, it is high standard of living but low quality of life. We are dying to live there again.
I understand what you mean and agree with you. That's why we love it
Same here in Australia high standard living, a lot of pressure and stress, in the Philippines despite of so many disaster and hard life still people are able to smile and sharing is always there .but off course if your are foreigner before you moved to other places you have to adjust to everything don't expect them to adjust for you ! 👍😊
Same here in germany & austria.
Too cold there, that is what I think
Weird. because I am from Philippines and I have been to scandanavia. I feel Scandanavian countries are the most ideal countries when it comes to quality of life and proper society
I'm Jamaican who lives in Sweden, but I have been living in Ph for 6 years, in Negros Occidental Bacolod City it's a nice place to live apart from my birth country, same climate and nice beaches ⛱️ Filipinos are awesome people.
Thank you for the appreciation.
True
The perspective of your guest to life and PH is amazing. She loved the PH because it is not perfect. She moved here because she saw something that others can’t see to the PH.
I agree it's not perfect but it's amazing
What do you mean about perfect? No country is perfect bro...
@@Alex_Koshmoney cannot buy happiness❤
@@kemuelcapagalan7082Exactly what he and she said, but there is something in 🇵🇭 that other countries don’t have. Like any other countries. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Im a Filipino and I agree to what you are saying. I have lived in other country before and I worked hard always fast paced..Im 34 now and left my job abroad..settled i the Philippines sometimes while having my coffee early in the morning or late in the afternoon I feel happy.thingking i have lived a full life.. slow paced and not materialistic I get to feel evey bits of life here staring at my plants flowers and the trees or even the sky❤
Thank you for your support☺
hey man philippines is heaven if you have money. locals are friendly and hospitable. simple life.
True☺
That goes everywhere in the world. If you have money, you can be living almost anywhere and have a good life so money talks that's an old saying LOL. We are happy for all those rich people who has money live and enjoy because someday, that day will come when that money is not needed anymore so live and enjoy. That what I do in Mexico. When I have said that I Love Mexico, someone said to me that ok, would you Love it if you would have no money and be here...............................................and then I started thinking O NO, THEN MEXICO WOULD BE A LOT DIFFERENT so it is the same with this lady. She has money, that's why her life is good in the Phillipines.
proud being a filipina
Wow. This is a wake up call to many Filipinos to love Philippines more. Thank you Alex. Foreigners are welcome in the Philippines. God bless bless you both.
Thank you for your support and kind words
Do you welcome Russians and Chinese too?
@@pinoyRN67 Russians is always very welcome here..but pls don't be offended if we call you British or Americans..because most filipinos thinks that white people were Brits, Aussie and yankees.
@@zaragosaolgajane3922 Russians, people from Poland, Ukraine, Czech republic are also white people my dog is brown
@@pinoyRN67 yes. Russian and Chinese law abiding citizens only.
Weather in a tropical country is like living in paradise 🌴⛱️☀️😎
Even Google shows the tropics for the search phrase paradise
That's a beautiful home - and the garden is so pretty!! A wonderful life she's living.
You're right, really wonderful life
Happy to see foreign people find genuine happiness in my country. After living in Europe for a while, I realized how pleasantly different the Philippines is. Iba pa rin sa PInas!
Yes very well said yet MILLIONS of our fellow pinoy citizens kinakahiya ang pinas
@@pearloftheorient8336 I guess when one is away from HOME, it would open the eyes for the realities of life. The sense of community in the Philippines is very distinct. Here in Europe, people are willing to help, but are generally individualistic. Kaya mas mabuting pang maging mahirap sa Pinas keysa sa abroad. At least dyan, your neighbors would cheer you up and share whatever they can. Dito, your neighbors won't even know that you are already dead inside your house.
Amazing country❤ 🇵🇭
@@wowbuthow3751 mas maganda pa talaga sa pinas kasi lahat ng tao may pakialam kahit marites atleast may pag papahalaga sa isang katauhan.. kahit malayo ka sa pamilya pinoy na kapit bahay ang mag cacare sayo
@@silent389 true!!!
Just to make sure foreigners do not misunderstand. Under Philippine Laws only Filipinos and the Filipino spouses of Foreigners are allowed to own land. This is to ensure that our land do not become too expensive for us Filipinos due to the higher purchasing power of most foreign money. As an alternative, foreigners should have a good licensed real estate broker draw them up a long term lease for the land from 50 to 99 years. That is allowed under our constitution.
She has a lawyer who advises her on land ownership.
Thank you for additional information
she did say 25 yrs lease + 25 yrs extension
@@Top5_Pilipinas The video said 50yrs lease is not allowed under our constitution, u need to be a corporation to get in for 50yrs lease. If u are individual being u can only lease up to 25yrs only and it depends it has a extension.
@@francisflora3406 you just repeated what i said. never mentioned 50.
This is nice example to all Foreigners.. want at peace living. Philippines has a lot more to offer. That’s why I am planing to go home my Ph homeland . Living in Europe was really terrible..especially when you live alone here. Plans to go home soon 🇵🇭
I understand you👍
I'm glad you are enjoying your stay here in the PH. Don't be too complacent with anyone, even we locals, we are always critical about our own people, there's always a snake in the grass that's ready to prey on their next victim out there. Be observant of your surrounding and the people around you specially strangers.
Thank you for your advices. There is no country in the world without bad people. But in general Filipino are nice and kind
She really makes sense 👍 and her house so well designed, clean cut and stylish like what I see in Nordic photos and videos.
her garden is so beautiful.
Absolutely
I really admire the intelligence and mind set of this beautiful Swedish (Filipino heart lady) 🌹💕. Thanks for sharing your point of views in life especially your life here in Philippines. There's is no a perfect a country but there is a very satisfying and comfortable, peaceful country for each of us. I'm a Filipino and I love my simple yet satisfying life here in Negros Occidental Philippines. God bless and keepsafe. For this content---I subscribed.

Hello, I'm Michelle. I'm watching your video 📸. I'm intrigued! My granddaughter is half Swedish, she is half Swedish, one fourth American and one fourth Filipino. I'm glad u got adjusted to Filipino lifestyle!
Thank you for your support
Hello from Sweden 👋🇸🇪, we've been many times in Dauin, a PEACEFUL Village to live while You're actually living with good standard of folks, so we could definitely find piece of area to live there quite soon hopefully 🇵🇭
Hello, Joy, thank you for saying that☺
I like her. She has a good mindset and admirable for adjusting to the way of life here. That's how it should be, when you want to live in a new a country you have to adapt to their culture and not complain all the time. It's always good to have friends it will be easier to live and enjoy your stay here.
True
thanks for loving Philippines and accepting its flaws. filipino here in US
Thank you for your support
This is a very informative video. It's nice to see how foreign people have come to adapt and embrace the culture, environment, country and people. Hats off to her that her home is beautiful. I guess the Swedish aesthetic comes out through how she designed her home.
Thank you for your support and kind words
How were they able to buy lang as a foreigner? I thought it's against the law
Nice to see other nationalities appreciate the Philippines. 💞
Thank you for your hospitality☺

More and more Westerners are moving to or retiring in Southeast Asia as they realize that it has the warm weather, paradise settings, beaches, islands, outdoor activities, amazing streetfood, shopping, and many other Westerners there all the time. Plus their money goes much further and it is very safe there. The locals are also very friendly.
And it is more fun in the Philippines😄
Love the landscape of her house 🏡
It's beautiful
She came from one of the rich country in europe then she moved to ph it will surely changed her perspective in life there are a lot of challenges and poverty in ph she will surely learn to appreciate more with the small things she have and have a compassion to other people as a filipinos i would like to thank her for loving this country despite of imperfections and adopting the culture the philippines will love you love stay safe and godbless 💙🙏
She moved to the Philippines because of the nature and Beaches and weather and peaceful country and people etc. There are so many Sweden living in the Philippines.
In Europe all places are white color. 🥶❄️
Thank you for your support 👍
Almost every country has their share of poverty. No country is perfect. But the beauty of the Philippines and the heart and soul a of the prople are the greatest assets.
That garden is so beautiful and so cool to the eyes.
Totally agree with you
This sweet lady is an asset to the area...💃
Land owners can find a foreign developer like this... and next to it carve areas for future development and get high value for the land. And purchase more lands nearby as investment. Then draw potential homes and sell it to prospective buyers.
Things can feed off a good start and keep moving...👍👍👍👍👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Elon, thank you found time to share your wisdom 👍
Foreigners CANT buy land in PH. How was she able to buy one??
Great interview . Her house is beautiful, even her garden/ front yard
Thank you for your support
Beautiful place! While me I want to visit Sweden from the US. Happy for you to live in my birth country.
Nice place to visit. Before the Philippines I dreamed to move to US. But when I spoke with so many Americans here in person I don't want to move there anymore. Maybe only visit for vacation someday

Wow!!! What a beautiful house she had!!! Natures around and simple and peaceful!!!
It's even better in reality
I amaze you ma'am, because you love to Live here in the Philippines, don't worry Most Filipinos are Godly people,lover of life,caring,helpful, respectful,anti RACIST, all kinds of nationalities are WELCOME in this country and etc. Valencia is my first hometown and Dumaguete City is my second hometown. God bless us all.m
Thank you for watching and your kind words
Men!!!! I can live all my life in that surrounding!!! That beautiful house and wide garden and men! All those trees around there its already paradise for us!! Watchin you from tx usa.
I know many Americans who chose the Philippines for retirement
Im from the philippines and living in sweden for almost 27 yrs now, few days ago i had to visit a doctor because my blood pressure had been very high these past few weeks and that made me really worried about my health. the doctor told me that i needed to completely change my whole lifestyle. and it left me wondering how could i ever do that since having a stressful job is the lifeline of most people living here including me. so you could just imagine the envy i feel right now after watching this video.
Maybe your feelings is a sign to change something in your life?
@@Alex_Kosh i need to have a life like her to avoid further deterioration on my health.
You ‘re lucky living there, good Weather , nice ,warm and welcoming people. Enjoy your stay in the paradise . Hope Alex Will find his FOREVER .
Thank you for your support, it's really awesome place
@@Alex_Kosh its more awesome if you have someone to wrap around your arms in the Middle of the coldest night . 😂😂😂
See? The fresh air is all around!!! So peaceful!!

It takes deep courage to leave everything behind: family, friends, culture and familiarity to move halfway around the world to start anew and live a life you want for yourself, not something that society wants for you. You toiled so hard but still is not able to measure up to your society's standards. Moving gain new perspectives in life and see the world in a different light. Thank you Alex for some thoughtful interview conversations. Very informative. More of like this is welcomed.
Thank you for your comment, I agree with you. And of course I'll record more interviews to inspire others to live their dream life

Wish you all the best in this paradise place
Beautiful property. Hope you all the happiness and good health in PH. Take care.
Thank you for your support
She is very impressive & admirable great interview Alex! Her home & garden is just fantastic like her!!
Thank you, she is really sweet person
Nice home she built. Pretty wide and nice garden.
I think so too!
Beautiful house and gardens...reflects the beauty of her personality 🫶👏
I totally agree with you ☺️
Place is amazing it has beautiful surroundings.
Absolutely agree with you
Great video! Great interview. She has a real slice of paradise. She was nice to share so much information. She has great design taste. Did she work as an architect? She created different garden 'rooms' and nice big porches as people spend most time outside. And I love that she has included the outside garden as part of the inside with the big open windows and glass doors. It makes her house look even bigger. She must have worked in the arts, did she say something to do with photography. It is like a 5 star hotel, so relaxing. And it is not bad, for the money she spent, as in any other country it would be over million dollars. Her great design makes it look a lot more expensive.
She can still put solar panels, some people put them on the ground and she can conceal them with plantings of flowering bushes. She can start with a few panels and then slowly add to it. India is building a big plant to produce solar panels so they should get cheaper.
And even a water tank or two would not be too much of a problem, she can put it in the back of her property on a separate structure. Best wishes to her.
I like your comment and agree about your points
She's Scandinavian, good design is in her blood! We sometimes take for granted about the level of comfort + design aesthetic we have in Scandinavia, then we travel even within Europe and we see the stark difference. Even "cheap" stores like Nille in Norway does better styling than super rich SM. See for yourself.
The Philippines' many airports are a testament to Filipinos lack of design aesthetic.
Straight forward and no click bait. I watched the whole video.
Thank you it means a lot for me, I appreciate your support
Yes, Alex is very well prepared with the right questions. Very impressive!. I wouldn't know to ask all those questions.
Thanked you for loving the philippines🇵🇭❤️💚🧡👍😃
Thank you for your support☺ ❤ 🇵🇭
I heard [eople from Sweden are verry smart people and their mostly neutral and beautiful people and i see the pictures in the movies the smow and mountain look's majestic and also heard they built the best woorshipped and one day i would like to visit the country for oil painting or even just for a sketch drawing God bless and keep it art
Yeah, nice country to visit.
really like this Episode Alex..Very informative
Thank you for your support
Simple life.Lots of foreigners like to live in the Philippines. Nice to know a Swedish living in our country.I saw a vlog of another Swedish couple living in Siargao. I haven’t seen any more vlogs after that.Living in the Philippines for 6 years is amazing.
Thank you for watching
Welcome to the Philippines. Hope you find our country a better place for you to stay or live. Filipinos are nice, accommodating, religious and hospitable people.
Thank you for your support and hospitality. It's the best place I've ever been
Wow, I really liked how the backyard was landscaped. She has a nice variety of bushes, trees and flowers. It must be difficult not to be able to own a home if not Filipino and having to trust a local to own it and lease it back. I remember in your video with Justin him talking about access rights to your land and the difficulties you can encounter.
That is to protect us filipinos from what happening in hawaii
Thank you, Ben, you are as attentive to details as usual
It's a great interview ... And I really love the vives of her house its cool 😍❤️
Thank you, Merry, for your support
Nice Guys👍🌹🌹 just enjoy and Welcome in the Lovely People and Friendly Philippines🍀👍

Thanks for liking our country and loving our ways! Yes, dig a well or have a water pump, also add a water reservoir to catch rain. A dirty kitchen where firewood or charcoal can be used is also good. Yes, solar panels are best. Maybe have a vegetable garden or a few chicken for eggs. Self sufficiency is now everyone's goal. Great video, thank you!

I hope you could do more videos like this with more time on touring the properties with the owners so they explain more about why they designed their properties the way it is. Just a suggestion. And maybe others may not like it. Do what you like to do. Your English is become more fluent! Well done! I wish I could pick up a second language like that so fast. I have a hard time trying to learn one.
It is great that you are making lots of friends.
Thank you, Dan, for your support and kind words. I will definitely make more videos like this in the future. And of course I will continue to study English
