Chris, you are getting more sophisticated. Keep up the good work growing the channel
I’m trying and learning more and more:) Thank you
some friends told me about this channel, and I know why....love the versatility of the content, excellent channel
Awesome, thank you!
I liked this interview, maybe because it was with someone you already know. You should do more with people you know, both locals and foreigners. There are enough bloggers doing interviews with people they don’t know, sometimes that works, often not so much.
I don’t do much interview content but this was a good time
@@CarefreeChris Don't give in to such suggestion to interview people on your channel as your main content. There will be backlash and you'll get more haters that might endanger not only to your channel's existence but to yourself as well. Not all people are comfortable being seen on someone's else's channel especially when he makes a stand on some controversial issues. Just leave it to certified media men. Vloggers shouldn't mimic a certified or licensed journalist. You don't even need to do that.
Still in vacation mode, but what a great attitude! Seems well grounded and is actually paying attention to his budget which is a huge benefit.
Nice interview Chris, well done bro.
Thank you Brian.
Nice to see you do an interview. It's a good idea to do interviews every now and then as part of your content on your channel. It also gives you a different insight on your experience by talking to other expats. Keep up the good job, brother!
Yeah. I don’t really like doing interviews but see the value both for the viewer and myself
Good Interview and congrats to Britt on his move, he looks so relaxed and happy, obviously he made a great call moving to the Philippines.
He’s loving it
vacation mode- but how long will it last? none of these people are like him, other than the ones in the mens groups.
I love this. It’s being very transparent on what it’s like to just cold move there. That’s great.
Hiya!:)
Great job to both of you. Just a chill, transparent, and informative convo 😉 Keep flowing naturally with the channel. Authenticity is the most important aspect to me...that shines through...and definitely on your Q&A sessions. - Steve from Dallas, TX
Appreciate your comment as well as watching so intently. You get it. Thank you
Great episode. When i came last year as a 36 yr old i had an amazing month in the Philippines and felt human again. Doing everything i can to get back next year for good
I hear ya Mike. Hope you make it back soon
Big difference between a vacation and living full time. You cant spend like a person does on vacation or you will be broke in a couple months and living on the street.
@@EternallyGod No need to watch my pockets buddy ;)
@@MikeO8585 Famous last words of everyone before a woman takes over half of his money. Just remember nothing in PI can be in your name and on top of that she can take half of everything you have.
@@EternallyGod What makes you think I'm dumb enough to sign my possessions and assets into someone else's name? 😅
This is a great vid. Chris you are doing great with these vids. They are interesting, funny, knowledgeable and just honestly cool. Keep it up. Im glad there is new blood doing vids. Hats off
Really appreciate it Allen. Hope life is going great for you there too:)
I just discovered your channel. This was a good interview. Bret was very straight forward and honest in reviewing his budget with us.
Keep up the good work Chris!😊
Thank you. I don’t do interviews to much but I appreciate you watching and commenting
Great content, really enjoyed this interview.
Glad you enjoyed it! Really appreciate it
This guy is so kin happy best interview I've seen on here thanks
Thank you:)
Hey Chris....much appreciate these videos, my number was 3k a month as well, so I am stoked to hear that's almost too much! Btw, loved that 7 days in Bangkok last month. Hope you get there soon, fun place, and great people like Phillipines. Stay anywhere near the bts rail system,,and you'll do fine.
Enjoy & Aloha 🤙🏽
Awesome. Thanks for the tips:)
3k a month?
Been missing your content Chris. Glad you’re well and glad you’re back. I’ll be arriving in Cebu in March 20th. Would be great to hang a bit. Thanks for all your PH coverage.
Alive and kicking. I'll probably been on my road trip through April but check the community group for updates.
Good work big C , though you 2 did a great job. Would like to have extended the time by 20+ minutes. Miss your weekly live stream. Glad to see you in a better place than a few weeks ago 🎉
More to come!
Great interview....had me cracking up. I am sure this has been very informative to many western men.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great interview and love your open-minded take on the Philippines. I'm a subscriber and I'll keep watching. Make more vids! Erny in Florida.
I love it here. I'm truly honored to be here. Thanks for subscribing and watching
👍
Great interview. Thank you for sharing 😎
Thank you for watching and commenting
Just subscribed, great job Chris, please have this guy back! Very interesting. Well done!
Yeah. I got him
Subscribed to you Chris, I’ll soon be moving here. Thankfully my asawa is Filipino and we live in London currently. I’m vlogging the Philippines because it’s now my favourite place on earth!
God bless you! Keep making the content!
Thank you brother. Hope you make it here soon:)
Philippines been waiting for you!❤
@@marjunmarcelocristobal2678 it’s been incredible, lots of videos on my channel and more to come of my adventures in the Philippines 🇵🇭🧡💙❤️
I love this video! Great job doing the interview, Chris. Online dating in the Philippines is also a hit and miss. I guess you just have to take your time and get to know the person.
Video on that topic in the works
Best of luck Brett - Chris, really nice open discussion where it looks like a true friendship is been formed, nice humour shared, enjoy - Patrick
He’s a riot. Just needs to relax a little and he’ll be good:) Same for me too:)
Great interview and good to listen to others with similar experiences
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice interview with Brett, thanks for Posting Chris...Jim
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s a little different. A date in America cost me $300. A date here cost me $12. They don’t ask for expensive gifts, tickets, vacations, etc…And they are half the age as the American women I was seeing. A lot less past dramatic divorces. They aren’t holding on to hatred toward a past husband. Causing them to secretly hate all men.
It’s definitely a different dating dynamic
yeah but then you f em they want you to pay for their family
Just wait.
Totally clueless , you go ahead and marry him and they kick you out and take over the house you bought and their family moves in. they're just wait for the big pay day.
@@TruthInspector😂😂😂
Very nice video really enjoyed the intro to the video. Good job Chris
Glad you enjoyed it
Great content, honest, yet casual…I am married to a Filipina and God has blessed me with an amazing wife and life! If we could, I would move us back to her country the Philippines in a New York minute. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching John. Really appreciate it. Wish you both the best there.
My wife is Filipina of 30 yrs. I am new to these ex-pat channels, but now am seriously considering retiring in the Philippines. 5 yrs ago I wouldn't have even considered it.
Please don't say "New York". I'm freezing here.
Nice interview - great content
Much appreciated!
This was great to hear his perspective on the dating scene, etc. Great interview.
The dating perspective is ever evolving
13:57 glad to hear what he said. Aside from dating.. that peace, stress free (or much less stress) is something we all need. Just a few good friends, some time to relax and enjoy..priceless
Absolutely. I’m really loving my life here even after a year
Hi Chris, I was watching Mike’s Philippine retirement videos and I saw the one that he did with you and I thought it was really good. I have been watching your videos now also because I am going to the Philippines for the first time in a couple of months. I purchased an elite visa for Thailand so that I can explore that country also. I am going to spend about two months in each country. I am thinking about living in BGC in the Philippines and Chiang Mai in Thailand and spending 6 months in each place when I move there. Your videos are great. Keep up the good work.
Sounds like a great plan. Thanks for watching:)
I love your channel, Chris. Carry on.
I appreciate that!
Great interview with Britt. It’s fascinating as most people including myself don’t recommend moving sight unseen to another country. But Britt shows the all-in strategy can work if you’re doing your research and being part of a facebook support group helps. Personally I found Cebu IT park to be a bit dull. The restaurants are a bit expensive and there wasn’t even a single pub that I saw. But you can definitely get a decent condo so I guess that’s its attraction.
It’s not the norm for sure
Great interview. All the best to the both of you
Thank you.
good vid Chris. some dudes like to turn the page and take a new path. thats cool if they find what they want in the Phils. the US is a great place to work, make money, raise a family. its not a good place to retire. costs for things are high in highly developed countries. people come to the US to make their fortune. most people dont go to the Phils to make money. its a great place to have fun and enjoy life, without spending so much money. most people in the Phils would kill to get a visa and come to the US. they know they could earn WAY MORE money here than in the Phils. everybody knows that. it all depends on what you want. for older men who are now retired on less income, the Phils are great. if they feel lonely and ignored in the US, the Phils are great. Filipinas are pretty smart. they are willing to play the long game with an older expat. their lifestyle will improve dramatically because we are all "rich" compared to what they are used to. its a win-win for them and their expat
I’m certainly loving my life here and wish i was able to move here decades ago
Very beautiful setting. Why not? You're welcome and have a good life!
lol love it
Being from the South, he's probably used to the humidity. The Philippines sounds like a great fit for him.
I came from Colorado. Weather has been a nonissue for me
He’s from South GA. He’s not going to see trans people. But in Atlanta, he definitely would.
@@CarefreeChris Bonus.... There's air at sea level.
Thank you Chris for sharing what it's like in the Philippines.. For others, and for us.. 😇🙏♥️
Glad you enjoyed it
I enjoy your interviews as well as the beautiful sites you show in your travels….
Thank you very much!
Excellent interview! Just subscribe to you. Moved to phili6at 30 year old from US. It's AMAZING compared to the US. Moving back permanently to The Philippines next year at 38. Keep up the great content.
Thanks Brad. Really appreciate it
So looove your content!!❤🎉
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it
I visited PI many many times during my Navy career, great people and beautiful Country.
Yes. Love the people here
Thanks Chris. Great content
My pleasure!
Hi Chris may God guide you in your new endeavor of your life and enjoy, just be yourself, take your time in everything you do, never rush. Take care 🎉
Thank you so much!
Great video, eye-opening for me....I may have to book a flight soon. 😊
I love it here
Thanks for these videos!
Glad you like them! Appreciate you watching and commenting
fantastic interview, please do many more of these, you are a natural talent interviewer and talk honest about things. Please share still more about where you live in IT Cebu, what differs it from the 2 Ayala's? Thank you again, keep going, keep healthy, keep happy
Thank you Paul
Wow. Great interview. I must meet you both next time in Cebu.
Yes! Love it:)
Loving the Channel Chris, as a Veteran moving to Cebu, Philippines in June 2024. I really hope to meet you and grab a beer! Thanks for all the Info brother!
See you in June brother and thanks for your service
Wow...I am going to do the exact same thing. I've been looking at retiring early for a year or so. My good buddy has been coming to the PI for a couple of years now and loves it. I am taking the "leap of faith" and giving it a shot in 7 weeks from now. The crazy part is I'm starting off at the IT park also. I hope to meet some people from your group. Chris....love your channel and keep up the great content!!!
See you soon:)
Thanks for watching
Great interview 👏👏👏
Thank you :-)
Good video Chris. I am in IT Park for a couple days, for the second time in a few weeks. Love this area so much. Last year I stayed in Mactan Newtown. I like this so much better! some might prefer Lapu Lapu but I love this.
I'm with ya. I like the IT Park and the Business Park for living.
Great interview Chris! I stayed in 38 Park and I loved it there! The studios are a little small and expensive though.
Thanks Gary:) Go F1! Great race yesterday:)
How much typically for a 1 bedroom in a building like that ?
What city is that please? I'd like to look at it more.
@@GDuncan8002 38 Park Ave is located in IT Park, Cebu City. The 1BR that I saw was about $800/month.
@@andre.westcoastbestcoast About $800/mo and up.
Hey Chris, great interview. Cool listening to Brett’s story. I’ve watched a few of your videos, good stuff. You have a very likable personality. I just arrived to Cebu yesterday. I’m only here for 3 more days then back to Manila for 4, then on to Thailand for 2 weeks. I went to Ayala Center yesterday evening for dinner, a coffee, and some air condition, lol. Small world. If you are back in Cebu from Noval would be cool to meet up for a coffee.
I would love to brother but in Naval. Safe travels and really appreciate you watching
nice hearing your stories guys n enjoy staying in PH..have fun vlogging
Thank you! Will do!
I find your channel, a fun reality show and fairplaying video interviews with backgrounds of my home country Cebu Philippines. Cheers
Thanks for watching
Great to see another foreigner in the Philippines. We also sold/donated/give away everything and we are moving there in June and we can't wait to experience Philippine life again.
There you go. Hope you make it out here soon :-)
You will not regret the decision. I absolutely love it here.
Welcome to our country Britt ❤❤❤ stay safe, guys, and God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 🇵🇭
Thank you:)
Great interview..
Thank you
Hi Chris i just subscribed to your Channel . Thank you for interviewing this nice man. Mabuhay Watching from Virginia USA. Keep up the good work. looking forward for the next one. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Alicia. Hope all is well in the US:)
That was awesome information thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank U very much for choosing Philippines
Thank you for having me:) I love being here
Glad I found your channel brother.. Seriously considering The Philippines for retirement after my divorce.. Keep up the good work. You have a new subscriber..
Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing. I really appreciate it. Hope you’re good there man.
All the best with your life's journey in my humble country, Mabuhay.🤗
Thank you so much 😀
This guys experience in the US is spot on. If you aren’t good looking or successful then online dating will be rough. In the PH women genuinely want companionship and dating a foreigner is usually new for most so Its good to hear of his experience. Though money will eventually matter. And if you get married, especially a women in her 20’s, you do marry their whole family. Just make sure you have some sort of income or at least a half a mil in the bank to get you to your SS as you will spend more long term. And meet lots of local Filipinos. Most of my closest friends in the PH are Filipino and I have really experienced more than I could have only hanging out with other foreigners. 38th Park Ave is a nice building. And rainy season isn’t here yet. You are here during the best time of year. Enjoy and good luck!
The money does matter but I'd say it's more about stability and being faithful. It's simpler like can you provide food, shelter and a loving home. Something we all want.
great interview.
Thank you:)
GREAT VIDEO CONGRATULATIONS ! LIVING IN PHILIPPINES FOR 1 YEAR ! NOBODY IS IN HURRY , RELAX LIFESTYLE, ENJOY TEENAGER FREEDOM AGAIN - KIND OF ! AND THE BEAUTIFUL NATURE !
Yes. Great live here in the Philippines
Great interview
Thank you Frank. Really appreciate you watching and commenting
Love Brett's unmistakable Albany, GA accent! Glad you like it there in Cebu; I'm from central Tagalog region, was stationed in MCLB, Albany for two years while in the Corps. Love it! 😀
So cool!
Britt, Take your time to date. Don't be in a hurry. You'll find someone out there soon and you'll be happy. Thanks Cris. You're adapting our culture. Thank you for visiting our country, you both no matter what's in the news. keep up your good work.
So true Victoria. I too need to take my time still and not be in a hurry. Hope you’re good there sweetie and thank you for watching and commenting
Hey Brett I lived in Cartersville. I worked at the dam there. Great interview Chris.
Thank you:)
Enjoy watching your interview vlog
Thanks so much
I’m retiring in eight months and own a home in Colorado. That’s currently rented out. I plan on keeping it and now coming to the Philippines for the first time and checking out that city you guys are in. thanks for sharing all the information. What a great video.
No problem. Happy to help. There’s so much to do there in Cebu city. If I’m in town, check out my community group and we can meet and I can introduce you to a bunch of people
There are so many expats esp in the U.S. moved to the PH and never plan to live there again but only visit. Thanks for embracing our PH culture Britt and Chris.
Thank you. So honored to be here
Good luck to Brett... Albany GA is about 2 hours from me...
Yes. Brett is adjusting for sure
this was a funny conversation and great to hear a men's perspective on dating
It’s pretty wild no question
thanks for doing the peso to dollar conversion pop up in your video
No problem 👍
Great content. More interviews please 😅
Thank you. I’m not a fan of interviews really but will try to do more
Hey chris nice content mate
Thank you brother
Nice interview.
Thank you
Congratulations for being happy and contented with your life style in Cebu
Yes. Thank you. Hope you’re great there too.
Bret .. you may wish to try a teaspoon of organic ground ginger mixed with a little water. Helps alot with standard reflux.
Great advice
… thanks for this video. I’m a 30-year Vet and I laughed so hard… good job.
I’m planning now…
Thanks for watching. More importantly, thank you for your service to our country
Thanks so much
You're welcome!
Cheers from Valdosta. Thanks for sharing. Seems with 3k, you'll have some left over to travel throughout the region. Or short stay in Europe.
We shall see
Chris I hope to meet you when I visit your city one day. Your videos are cool and interesting. I am a retired vet and may be settling in the western negros side but I will be visiting many parts in the future. They call me John.
Hey John. Thanks for your service brother. For sure reach out when you get here. Take care there.
wow looking good Chris
feeling good:)
I have been watching the videos and am convinced that I will be coming to the Philippines in the next few months perhaps which are actual dating websites and not scams there are so many out there from here that say they are Filipino
Keep up the good videos thanks in advance
Marvin
I would use two, Bumble and Facebook dating. The rest are garbage imo.
You can just pick up women in the mall.
Wishing y'all the happiness living here in the Philippines❤💕
Thank you
@@CarefreeChris 😊
As a Filipino American, you're smart to chose the Philippines as your permanent home. Hope you will find your dream girl/woman who will love, respect, understand you and a best friend forever. Good Luck.
Thank you so much and I too can’t for the day i meet her. Take care there and hope your life is great there too
I can't wait to get over there.
lol I hear ya
hi Chris! new subscriber here.
Welcome!!
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf store, we walked past that store for over 9 months in 2020. Great area I T Park.
Yes. Fan of that place. I like the Chai:)
Trully a Happy Meal!!😂😂❤❤❤
lol right
Great. Vid so informative
Glad it was helpful!
Glad that y'all enjoying your time in the Philippines. Dual Citizen here. USA and Philippines citizen. Hopefully be financially independent in 3 yrs. And can retire there soon (Early retirement)
Good for you. Hope you’re able to retire soon
Great video i just stumbled across this vid, I am basically going to do the same thing, but I am moving to Thailand instead. Congratulations his interview sounds just like the way my life is going. Me and my ex-wife sold our house and separated in November of 2020 and we were finally divorced in September of 2022 because of the county and state not fully open because of covid. I did online it, actually meet a lady that was originally from the Philippines she was very nice but she had been hurt so bad by the men in her life she couldn't be the woman I needed so I broke that off. I haf a narcissist before her 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I didn't know what a narcissist was until I meet her. Have a great life guys you just confirmed that I am making the right decision.
Thanks for watching. Good luck there in Thailand brother
@@CarefreeChris Thanks so much
