We will be splitting our time between Ecuador, and Peru. Tourist visas in these countries are good for 6 months apiece, so we will move after they expire. I could pay for the resident visa, but IMHO, I don't see the value in it at this time.
Meet a girl in the Philippines, and then move to a different country seems to be the typical scenario :)
Cost of living in South America is actually cheaper than here in Cebu.
What don't you like about the food?
It's good, but can be bad for your heart! :P
